Dongzhi Tableland
董志塬
Known as the 'Number One Loess Tableland Under Heaven,' the largest tableland of the Loess Plateau, on which Xifeng's urban district sits.
Dongzhi Tableland stretches about 110 km from north to south. It is the largest loess tableland in the world, with the thickest soil layer. Its flat surface is surrounded by deep gullies, forming the classic landscape of yuan (tablelands), liang (ridges), mao (knolls) and gou (gullies). You can drive along the road across the tableland to enjoy wheat fields, apple orchards and gully cliffs, and the viewpoints at the edge are the best places to watch the sunset. Villages on the tableland still have yaodong cave dwellings and dikengyuan sunken courtyards. There is no admission fee, and it pairs well with the Beishiku Temples and Xiao Kongtong.
