Why do some people think that after visiting Chenggu scenic spots once, they never want to go there again?

Chenggu, part of Hanzhong City, is located in the southwest of Shaanxi. Since the opening of the Xicheng-Chengdu High-speed Railway, it has also promoted the development of Chenggu tourism.

In addition to Nansha River, Wangjingtai, and Huanglongquan, Chenggu’s tourism resources include Zhang Qian Memorial Hall, Chenggu Orange Garden Scenic Area, and the former site of the National Northwest Institute of Technology. In fact, Chenggu’s old streets are also worth visiting. Go take a look, it’s an old street with a sense of time. If you come to Chenggu for tourism, it is recommended to visit these places.

The most famous attraction in Chenggu is the Chenggu Orange Garden Scenic Area. Chenggu is known as the "Orange Township". During the ripe orange season, the mountains are covered with swaying golden fruits, red fruits, green leaves, overflowing with orange fragrance, and a sea of ??oranges. The Orange Garden Scenic Area is 17 kilometers away from the county seat. During the orange harvest season every year, it attracts a large number of tourists to visit and pick.

Chenggu County is the hometown of Zhang Qian, a famous diplomat, explorer and pioneer of the Silk Road in the Western Han Dynasty. The Zhang Qian Memorial Hall was built based on the tomb of Zhang Qian, Bowang Marquis of the Han Dynasty. The tomb is surrounded by ancient cypresses and has stone beasts to guard it. All the buildings in the museum are imitating the Han style, simple and strong, and the layout is rigorous and generous. Cultural relics such as tomb mounds, stone tigers, and stone tablets are integrated with contemporary antique buildings. Together with the thousand-year-old cypresses surrounding the tomb, the natural and cultural landscapes of Zhang Qian's tomb complement each other, giving it a unique charm and making it popular among tourists.

National Northwestern Polytechnical Institute is actually the predecessor of today’s Northwestern Polytechnical University. The former site of the National Northwestern Polytechnical Institute is located in the ancient road of Chenggu. It is a Catholic church built in the Qing Dynasty. At that time, it was one of the largest Catholic churches in the five northwest provinces. The church was designed by the Dutch. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Western missionaries returned to China one after another. Because the Guluba Catholic Church was vacant, many domestic universities moved to Hanzhong and ran schools in the church for eight years. Gulu Dam, together with Huaxi Dam in Chengdu and Shaping Dam in Chongqing, was known as the nationally famous "Three Dams" of Chinese culture during the Anti-Japanese War, leaving a glorious page in the history of Chinese culture and education.

As for the Nansha River Scenic Area, the Viewpoint, and Huanglongquan, they are actually rural tourist attractions and lack humanistic and historical connotations. There are inevitably problems with the planning and supporting facilities of the scenic spots, which may bring you disadvantages. I feel that in the period of developing all-region tourism, these problems will be improved, hoping to bring a better experience to tourists.

The author searched for relevant information about Chenggu Scenic Area in several major search engines. Unfortunately, compared with the hot reviews and strong recommendations of other well-known scenic spots, the reviews and information about Chenggu Scenic Area are very poor. few. Is it because of a lack of publicity or because the scenic spot itself is unattractive, resulting in no repeat customers or tourists? Let’s take a look at the more famous scenic spots in Chenggu first.

1. Zhang Qian Memorial Hall When I was a child, I saw the comic strip "Zhang Qian's Mission to the Western Regions" and admired him so much. As a pioneer of the Silk Road, he introduced sweat horses, alfalfa, grapes, pomegranates, etc. from overseas, adding to the diversity of Chinese goods. Zhang Qian is a heroic figure to me, so his memorial hall is attractive to me.

2. Nansha Lake Scenic Area Nansha Lake Scenic Area is a quiet place and a reservoir built in the early years. Surrounded by farmland, in spring, rapeseed flowers bloom, wheat seedlings thrive, yellow and green, it is very festive; the lake is clear, blue sky, flowers are red and willows are green, making boating a joyful experience.

3. Dongyang Palace Dongyang Palace is one of the oldest Taoist resorts in southern Shaanxi. It was built before the Northern Wei Dynasty and rebuilt in the first year of Tianshun, Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty. It is the place where Zhang Sanfeng practiced spiritual practice. With your head resting on the mountains of the Qinling Mountains, facing the spiritual cliffs and ancient temples, the scenery is picturesque and unique.

In summary, it can be seen that most of the scenic spots in Chenggu are key scenic spots in the province or indoors. Although they have their own style, their reputation is limited. They are also quite similar to other domestic scenic spots, and their appeal to foreign tourists is limited. The reduction is also reasonable. As for the viewing platform, the dilapidation of Huanglongquan should be the result of neglect in management and maintenance.

There are actually many scenic spots in Chenggu, but they are not well developed and utilized. However, the scenic spots are relatively small, such as the section from Hanzhong to Chenggu on the Hanbai Highway during the Three Kingdoms period, and the beacon fire during the Three Kingdoms period. There are many stations, inns, shops, offices, etc., and there are also many cemeteries of celebrities from the Three Kingdoms waiting to be developed and utilized.

Chenggu is not as good as Yangxian, charging money for everything. Many scenic spots in Yang County are free.

The tourist attractions in Chenggu County still have certain advantages among the nine counties and districts of Hanzhong. They are rich in tourism resources and have profound cultural heritage. However, they have not continued to increase investment in construction, so tourists will go there. I don’t want to go there a second time after I visited. The concept of tourism development is outdated.

Tourist attractions include the Zhang Qian Memorial Hall, a world cultural heritage;

China’s first citrus tourism park with tens of thousands of acres of citrus orchards;

The world’s water conservancy project is as famous as Dujiangyan Irrigation engineering heritage Wumen Weir and Yangtian Weir;

Nansha Lake, a national water conservancy scenic spot;

Chenggu Ancient Road Dam, one of the three anti-Japanese war dams;

Liu Bingjun, the first member of the Communist Party of China in Hanzhong, formerly lived in Shangyuanguan Ancient Town;

Baoshan Kiln Ruins;

etc., as well as many natural landscapes and cultural relics , are all tourism culture brands and tourism symbols that can be developed and created.

Is this statement a bit extreme?

I wonder if everyone has the same feeling as me? We have also traveled to many well-known attractions, large and small. We were extremely excited before going there, and it was inevitable that we would complain after the visit. This is really different from the promotional photos in the pictures! I will never visit this place again. I regret not coming. I will regret it even more if I come. My intestines will turn green with regret.

As for the Nansha River Scenic Area you mentioned, I have also been there. The supporting facilities in the scenic area are also improving day by day. I feel very good about myself. There are mountains and rivers, and the tickets are very cheap. I can walk among the mountains and rivers. During this time, my mood is particularly comfortable. When we travel, there are only two things: 1: Go shopping, shopping, and enjoy the pleasure brought by delicious food in bustling cities; 2: Tired of the hustle and bustle of the city, we want to go somewhere to have fun. The place with mountains and rivers is quiet and quiet, so you can feel the local folk customs and culture and taste the local snacks. The best time to visit the Nansha River Scenic Area is in spring and summer every year. In June, rapeseed flowers are in bloom. Walking around the scenic area, the golden sea of ??flowers and floral fragrance, accompanied by the crisp calls of birds in the forest, make you feel like you are in a magical place. It's so comfortable in a paradise on earth! The Nansha River in summer is an excellent summer resort. The cool mountain breeze blows by, making people shiver involuntarily. If you paddle a small boat and float in the water, all your worries will disappear.

There are many scenic spots here in Chenggu, so I won’t list them all. Whether the scenic spots are good or bad ultimately depends on the individual’s mentality, how to look at this problem, and whether you have a good mentality. The wind and sunshine are beautiful every day, but otherwise there are dark clouds, making everything difficult to see. Each scenic spot has its own unique charm. As long as you carefully discover them, you will always find something special. Different beauty.

Okay, in short, I just want to say one thing. The people of Chenggu, with their simple folk customs and warm and hospitable people, welcome friends from all over the world to visit and tour.

Oh, by the way, in another month, the very famous Chenggu Shengxian Village oranges will be ripe. Don’t forget to come and taste them, and you can also give some to your family and friends!

Do you even need to ask? With poor infrastructure and robbing people, who will?
