Scenic spot introduction:
Xi'an Whale Valley Scenic Area has both typical northern loess landforms and beautiful southern mountains and rivers. It is the best leisure summer resort and tourist attraction in the suburbs of Xi'an. Among the mountains, plateaus, cliffs and ravines, there are pines, cypresses, green bamboos, exotic flowers and grasses, and winding paths leading to secluded areas. The "White Deer Plain" written by Chen Zhongshi is close to it, and the charm of ancient customs is lingering in it. In Whale Valley, mountain flowers are everywhere in spring, and the sun is shaded and cool in hot summer. In late autumn, the red leaves are in full swing. In the early winter, the mountains are covered with silver, and the jade trees and pear blossoms are a major scenic spot in Xi'an.Attractions distribution:
