What’s fun in Guanshan Ranch?

First of all, Guanshan Ranch is a place with unique natural scenery and long history and culture. It is located in the green hills of Guanshan Mountain in Long County and Zhangjiachuan County at the junction of Shaanxi and Gansu provinces. It is 134 kilometers away from Baoji City and 300 kilometers away from Xi'an City.

The following is my travel route at that time:

We were on the road for about seven hours. (Including stopping to eat on the way) Sitting in the car for a long time makes people tired. We set off at around 6 o'clock in the morning and only arrived at 1 o'clock at noon. But looking at the beautiful and changing scenery outside, my mood immediately became cheerful and I was no longer so irritated.

I arrived at the scenic spot at around one o'clock at noon. When I arrived at noon, I first found a place to stay. There are two options: yurts and bungalows, both of which are distributed in many resorts. Mongolian yurts are cheaper, but do not have independent bathrooms. My dad and I can tolerate this, but the two women in my family cannot. What they need is comfortable bath water and a separate bathroom. Then I still listened to them and lived in a small house. Some of the small houses did not have a separate bathroom. (Although the water was cut off at night, I couldn’t take a shower). Travelers who want better conditions can go to the Green Garden Villa, which is managed by Xi'an Tangcheng Hotel and is the first large-scale grassland resort resort in Shaanxi. It has complete service functions and can meet the needs of high, middle and low-end consumers.

As soon as I put the things away, the old girl shouted that she was going to ride a horse. In order to satisfy her heart, she should go horse riding first. There are many routes to choose from for horseback riding, and the prices are also different. We chose a route that goes up the mountain. We will be led up the mountain by local herdsmen and the journey takes about 3 hours.

After walking for almost two hours, we finally reached the top of a small hill. Horse riding is quite interesting, bumpy and bumpy. On the way, these horses were disobedient and stopped to eat grass, drink water, and rest. No matter what you say about "driving" or "walking", they still take care of themselves and don't listen to you at all. They only listen to their master's words, and they can walk or run as soon as they are told. It's pretty nice up there, quite open. A man is already heroic. He wants to gallop on the grassland with his horse and whip. What a feeling it would be if there was a falcon on his shoulders. But the current situation is different from what I imagined. I could only ask the local herdsmen to take me and let the horse run for a while. It ran quite fast. I also whipped the horse's butt with a branch whip a few times, and it almost knocked me off. .

After playing in the mountains for a while, unexpectedly something unexpected happened and it started to rain. The simple tents set up by herdsmen on the mountains became the only shelter for tourists in the rain. There is a hot bed inside the tent, which is very warm in the cold and humid mountains.

When I got down the mountain, I saw people playing zip lines, grass skiing, slides and archery nearby. I tried a zip line and archery, which was very fun.

Price: Archery is 10 yuan for 12 arrows, zipline is 60 yuan, and grass skiing is 50 yuan. But to get to the hillside of the zipline slide, you can only take the cable car, which costs 40 yuan.

Unknowingly, it’s evening and it’s time for dinner. It’s time to reward the body after a hard day’s work. The roasted whole lamb here is delicious, just the look of it makes people drool. Lamb is quite expensive, and our family of four didn't have the appetite to eat such a large lamb, so we only ordered a small leg of lamb. The steamed noodles also taste good, making your mouth full of oil.

The best activity at night is the bonfire party, where you can see the entire scenic spot decorated with bonfires. The flame rose quickly and kept moving, showing his vitality. But during this bonfire party, the electricity was cut off and there was no music. People’s interest was mostly reduced, and the first half of the bonfire party turned into a fire-warming party. Later, the power was restored, and people slowly began to sing and dance. Our boss likes to play Phoenix Legend songs one after another.

Introduction to the ranch:

Guanshan Ranch is the largest forest and pastoral area in Shaanxi and the largest and only natural grassland in the central and eastern inland areas of China. Guanshan Grassland is located in Long County, Shaanxi Province and enjoys the reputation of "Little Tianshan". The landform here is similar to that of the Central European Alps, with secluded streams and rivers, alternating grasslands and forests, vast terrain, beautiful water and fertile grass, herds of horses, and beautiful scenery.

Shaanxi Guanshan Grassland Tourist Scenic Area is a natural scenic area developed and constructed by Shaanxi Tourism Group Corporation and the Long County People's Government. At an altitude of about 2,200 meters, it is the only provincial-level scenic spot with European style mainly composed of alpine meadows in the inland northwest of my country. There are 1.04 million acres of natural forest and 350,000 acres of grassland in the scenic area, with an altitude of 2,200 meters and an average annual temperature of 5.4°C. Visit the unique hilly grassland of Guanshan Ranch, ride horses and whips on the grassland, taste Guanshan's specialty roasted whole sheep, eat large pieces of meat, drink from a big bowl, have a blazing bonfire, sing as the pilot sings, and enjoy a happy life. ?
