Qianling Park (Qianling Gongyuan)
Qianling Park (Qianling Gongyuan) Review
Just outside the city, Qianling Park covers 740 acres. It has a bit of everything, including thousands of plants and a collection of birds and monkeys (many of which roam wild through the park). Dominating the park is a 4,265-foot-high mountain that has fine views of the town from its western peak.
The Unicorn Cave, discovered in 1531, was used as a prison for the two Nationalist generals, Yang Hucheng and Chang Xueliang, who were accused by the Guomindang of collaborating with the Communists when Chiang Kai-shek was captured at Xi'an in 1937.
