History aside, it was also a beautiful nature reserve with numerous trails winding along mountain passes. I had a rare chance to breathe fresh air, free from industrial pollution, and to truly enjoy nature for the weekend. The museums were informative, but sadly I couldn't understand most of the exhibits. This area really was catered for domestic tourists and I think I maybe saw one or two other foreigners the entire weekend (and it was pretty crowded in the neighbouring towns). After seeing places such as Guilin, Pingyao, Luoyang, and now here, I wonder how many more hidden gems there are scattered in this vast country.
