China's hit TV show To the Wonder has ended over a month, yet the grassland vibe still echoes. The grassland views and free and easy lives showcased in the teleplay soon made Altay one of the top-tier tourism destinations among young people.Recently, we spotted a land deep in the Qinling Mountains, whose enchanting scenes are comparable to that in Altay. This is Shizigou Ranch.

The ranch is located in Shizhigou, Yingpan Village, Liuhou Town, Liuba County, Hanzhong City, Shaanxi Province. It is a mountain ranch at the foot of the Qinling Mountains, about 30 kilometers from Liuba County. It takes over two hours to drive from downtown Hanzhong.

On sunny days, the land is bathed in sunlight, with scattered cattle and sheep grazing leisurely. During rainy days, the grassland sends out the fragrance of the earth, with clouds and fog veiling the area like gossamer.

Shizigou, at the foot of the Zibai Mountain (part of the Qinling Mountains), is lush, serene, and expansive, sending out a majestic vibe of a grassland.The breathtaking views here are not just due to the open meadows. The nearby streams coursing through the ranch originate from high-altitude rock formations, giving the water a mineral-rich quality that shines turquoise in the sunlight.

In spring and summer, as you walk through this lush, verdant landscape, passing through the crystal-clear streams, you may feel like traversing a massive 4D oil painting and capturing an otherworldly beauty.It's approximately a four-hour drive starting from Xi'an. The scenic mountain views along the way and good road conditions make it ideal for a self-driving trip.

 Travel Tips:

1. Wear comfortable, flexible clothing and shoes for sightseeing.

2. Apply sunscreen and insect repellent.

3. Shizigou Ranch is roughly the size of four football fields. Nearby attractions worth visiting are Zibai Mountain and Lover Valley.

The views of the Qinling Mountains in June are the finest, and so is the scenery in Shizigou Ranch. Pack your bags and come here to experience the life of a hill farmer.
