Travel Guide: Rapeseed Flower Sightseeing in Hanzhong
The municipal government of Hanzhong has rolled out a number of flower-viewing routes for tourists to choose from.
A. Self-driving Tours to the Rapeseed Flower Sea
Route 1
Xie Shui Town (Zhangping Village) → Tuandui Village → Guihua Village → Hongsi Lake → South Lake → Liping
Comment: This is a newly opened self-driving flower route passing through Zhangping Village. Scattered rapeseed flowers line the road with charming scenery. However, Zhangping Village lies on flat open land, which is great for gatherings yet mediocre for photography. Photographers should avoid this detour to save precious time.
Route 2
West China Expressway → Cai Lun’s Tomb in Yang County → Crested Ibis Pear Garden on the outskirts (enjoy tens of thousands of mu of pear blossoms) → Citrus Orchard in Chenggu (orange blossoms) → Ten-thousand-mu Flower Base in Hantai → Marquis Wu’s Tomb in Mian County → Marquis Wu Temple → Nanzheng → Shimen → Zibai Mountain
Comment: Travellers can fully appreciate the flower sea across the Hanzhong Plain, visit classic scenic spots, and taste authentic local snacks of Hanzhong.
B. Photography Routes for Rapeseed Flower Seas
Route Map for Nanzheng County
Route 1
Nanzheng → Yangchun Bridge → Liuyuan Village → Fenghuang Village → Nongfeng Village → Lifeng Village → Danjiagou Village → Hetongyan Village → Gaotai Town → Hanzhong
Comment: This route runs through foothills and hilly areas with vast rapeseed fields and layered flower landscapes, ideal for sightseeing and photography. Note that the section from Nongfeng Village via Lifeng Village to Danjiagou Village is an unsurfaced dirt road.
Backpackers highly recommend two breathtaking spots:

Both sites offer high ground for panoramic views.
