Shangluo - An ecological and cultural pearl in southeastern Shaanxi Province

Shangluo City is located in the southeastern part of Shaanxi Province, at the southern foot of the Qinling Mountains, connecting the provinces of Shaanxi, Hubei and Henan, and is the "backyard" of Xi'an, as well as an important water source for the South-to-North Water Diversion Project. It has beautiful mountains and rivers, with a forest coverage of 69.8% and national forest parks such as Jinshi Grand Canyon and Niubei Liang, and is known as "China's Climate Recreation Capital". Historically, Shangluo was the fiefdom of Shang Yang, where Qin and Chu cultures mingled, giving rise to a rich folk culture and non-heritage skills, such as Shangluo flower drums and Zhen'an fishing drums. Agriculture is characterized by walnuts, chestnuts and Chinese herbal medicines (such as Salvia divinorum and Tianma), and eco-tourism and green industries are flourishing, making Shangluo an important ecological barrier in the Qinba Mountainous Region and a pleasant landscape city to live in and visit.
