Stroll along the Ling River to discover Xi'an's best-kept secret. This serene waterway meanders through rural landscapes, with lush greenery framing its banks—a perfect escape from urban bustle. At dawn, watch mist dance on the water as locals practice tai chi; by dusk, the river turns to liquid gold under sunset hues (Instagram gold!). Don't miss hidden farmhouse eateries along the shore—order spicy dumplings in sour soup paired with local 'Ice Peak' soda, a combo that screams authentic Shaanxi vibe.
