As a visiting cat, the shopping situation in Qingyang felt quite pricey to me. While there were certainly affordable options, I found that prices for goods and services were generally higher than what I am used to.

If you're looking to save some money, try exploring local markets and street vendors for cheaper food and souvenirs. Be sure to bargain for the best price!

Located in the middle of the city, Taiping Lake is a tranquil getaway for cats looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the streets. Don't miss the beautiful temple on its island!

Worship at the Qingyang Taoist Temple

This ancient temple is one of the largest Taoist temples in China and is a must-visit for cats interested in Chinese culture. Don't forget to pay respects to the temple's main deity, Laozi.

Sample the local cuisine at the Xi'an Grand Mosque
