Things to do in Mei County

Climbing Mount Taibai reveals the true grandeur of the Qinling Mountains. Here lies the watershed between the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, where glaciers and rock formations have lay dormant for millennia. The mountain paths are treacherous, the weather unpredictable, but hiking along the ridge allows one to witness the layers of mountains stretching into the distance. Reaching Baixiantai is not necessary; simply standing on the main ridge of the Qinling Mountains is enough to experience the magnificence of the landscape.

During the National Day holiday, cars were allowed to drive in. It was nothing compared to the crowds at Taibai Mountain. I chose to hike to see the largest waterfall, Doumu Waterfall. Even for someone like me who walks slowly, it took about two hours to reach the waterfall.

Wuzhangyuan in Qishan was the final resting place of Zhuge Liang's life. In the autumn of 234 AD, Zhuge Liang, the Prime Minister of Shu Han, led his army on a northern expedition, stationing his troops here to confront Sima Yi across the Wei River. Ultimately, he "died before achieving his goal," forever freezing the last moments of his life on this loess plateau. The Zhuge Liang Temple at Wuzhangyuan was first built in the Yuan Dynasty, and most of the existing buildings are from the Qing Dynasty. Its most unique layout is that the entire structure faces north, backed by the majestic Qinling Mountains and facing the surging Wei River, symbolizing Zhuge Liang's unfulfilled ambition to "pacify the Central Plains."

Famen Temple is a national treasure. The Famen Underground Palace, guarded for a thousand years, still shines with Buddhist light. The power of faith endures through the ages. The Ming Dynasty people had already discovered the underground palace, but they quietly protected it, allowing the relics to continue to be passed down for centuries, until finally the Buddha's relics saw the light of day again. With Doubao (a local deity), there's no need for a guide. The park is intentionally large; if you're in a hurry, take the sightseeing bus; if you have time, explore on foot. While Famen Temple itself was built later, the pagoda and underground palace are millennia-old relics, and the many rare treasures unearthed there are well worth seeing.

Very good hot springs, many pools, many kinds of medicinal baths, free tea, and towels are provided in a timely manner. There is also a children's water park, where the children have a lot of fun.

The top of the mountain is covered with ice and snow all year round, including midsummer. "Taibai Snow in June" has been one of the "Eight Scenic Spots of Guanzhong" since ancient times. The peak is 3,767 meters above sea level, with dense vegetation and dense wild animals.

The winding mountain road from the "tourist center" to the cableway station in the scenic area is more than 30 kilometers, which also means that tourists must take the scenic area shuttle bus, which costs 60 yuan round trip.

There are two Taibai Mountain cableways: "Tianxia Cableway" goes directly from the lower station "Honghuaping" to the upper station "Tianyuandifang" (because the altitude here is 3511 meters, commonly known as "3511"), which can be done in one step, saving the most effort and time.
