40 km from Xi'an. Cuishan Mountain is a National Geological Park renowned for its landslide landforms, featuring China's largest landslide site.

Shangluo · Cuishan Mountain

Cuihua Mountain is located in Chang'an District, Xi'an, just 40 km away. As a National and World Geological Park, it is renowned for its unique collapse landforms.

Spectacular Landslide

Cuihua Mountain features China's largest and best-preserved rockfall site. A powerful earthquake approximately 2000 years ago triggered a massive landslide, creating spectacular landscapes such as the Tianchi dammed lake, a sea of collapsed rocks, and broken peaks with sheer cliffs. It is hailed as the "Museum of Rockfall Landforms."

Scenic Tianchi

Tianchi is a natural dammed lake formed by a landslide, with jade-green waters surrounded by dramatic peaks. Boating on the lake reveals reflections of jagged rocks and lush pines in the water. The Ice Cave and Wind Cave are natural caverns within the landslide deposits; they feel icy cold even in midsummer, yet remain warm as spring in winter.

Knows the local talent

  • We recommend booking scenic area tickets on the official WeChat account 3 days in advance. During peak seasons, wait times at the entrance can range from 1 to 2 hours. Terracotta Warriors admission is 120 per person; Huaqing Palace is 120 per person. Online reservations allow skip-the-line entry.
  • Best times to avoid crowds: Arrive at the Terracotta Warriors at 8:30 for the first entry, and ride along the City Wall after 4 PM for the best lighting. The main street of Huimin Street is crowded; locals recommend older shops in Dapiyuan and Sajinqiao instead.
  • Travel Tip: Xi'an's subway covers major attractions; consider getting a Chang'an Tong card or using mobile payment. To visit the Terracotta Warriors in Lintong, take Tour Bus 5 (Line 306) for 7 CNY, with a travel time of about 1 hours.
  • Food recommendations: Local favorites include Lao Sun Jia Pomo (Beiyuan Branch), Jia San Soup Dumplings (Huimin Street), and Wei Family Liangpi (chain with consistent quality). A satisfying meal costs just 30-60 yuan per person.
