Tickets include sightseeing cars, but the place where the animals are raised has a strong animal taste. The scenery is very good, the ink Danxia is very image, the best viewing point is the most beautiful. Other locations look similar, good.
It's really worth it if you haven't seen the Danxia landform! Jingjiao car and scenic spot tickets are all included in the price, which is very cost-effective. The subway station pick-up and drop-off, the traffic is very convenient, about 40 minutes by car, not far away. The reserved play time is completely enough. It is recommended to take the big ring line, not go back, and you can see the whole scenery. We will take the big ring line and come out just to the scheduled return time. If you are not physically able, you can upgrade the VIP. There is a special car transfer. Experience the small train and camel pull car. It is very expensive. It is good to see if you need it. It is also good to play without upgrading. The scenery is really beautiful, it is worth seeing!

There is a team of nearly 200 meters from the entrance before the opening, but it is necessary to enter the museum early, otherwise the horse will have to surround several floors at noon. The pavilion is not big, and there are many people who are crowded. There are several exhibition areas that are not air-conditioned, but the content is still quite rich. Especially the exhibition starting on the 8th is worth visiting.
Witness the precipitation of the years, each piece is the dialogue of time and space. The favorite is the ceramic museum, the portrait porcelain, the horse treading swallow, the bronze god tree, the Dunhuang mural flying god statue, the exquisite and wonderful

The zoo built on the mountain is not big, you can take a sightseeing car, and you are not tired all the way around the mountain. Snow leopard rabbits and plateau cats are very cute. The sightseeing car service is very good and worth a visit.
Come to Xiye Plateau in the rain F4! Desert cat yellow rice cake family, rabbit family, snow leopard Lingshuang, Ling dissatisfied, Ling Xiaoxu, Beaver Garden baby; Knowing that the concern about Xiye is because Sun Sixuan and Yuanzhang, this year with Ling Xiaoxuan, the children also like the snow leopard and this place specially for the plateau folding wing spirit; each postcard is 5 yuan, which will be used for the breeding of corresponding species; I hope more and more children know the west, love our wildlife, love our plateau environment.

Touch Fudong: Tibetan Buddhism praying place, the cave is full of scriptures, and you can overlook the panoramic view of the scenic spot after climbing the steep slope, suitable for tourists with better physical strength. • Primitive forest: The scenic spot is covered by fir, spruce and other virgin forests. Walking on the boardwalk, you can see ancient trees towering, and you can also encounter small animals such as squirrels, full of natural wild fun.
Very worth going to the scenic spot. Compared with the scene of Jiuzhaigou people, this niche attraction has fewer beautiful people. It is a combination of Jiuzhai and Huanglong. Walking in the scenic spot seems to be in a fairyland. Have a chance to come again.

Beautiful scenery: During the flowering period from June to August, the wild flowers bloom by the lake, colorful, and set off against the azure lake water, blue sky and white clouds, just like a fairy tale world. The clear lake water is like a mirror, reflecting the sky and the surrounding scenery. Water birds fly over the lake, forming a picturesque scenery. Just take a picture and it will be a blockbuster.
- Rich ecology: As a plateau wetland, it is the habitat of many rare animals and plants. Birds such as black-necked cranes and bar-headed geese can be seen, as well as small animals such as marmots, allowing tourists to experience the harmonious coexistence of man and nature.
- Unique experience: The 5-kilometer wooden plank road in the scenic area goes deep into the wetland, and walking on it is like "walking in the clouds". In addition, you can learn to squeeze yak milk, drink butter tea with herders, and enjoy the "burning clouds" in the evening, which is a unique experience.
- Great weather influence: The weather on the plateau is changeable, often rainy or cloudy. When the clouds are covered, the scenery of the lake is greatly reduced, and the reflection of the blue sky and white clouds cannot be seen, which affects the play experience and photo effect.
- Insufficient service facilities: There are few dining spots in the scenic area, and there is no restaurant. Tourists need to bring their own dry food and water. Some facilities are aging or imperfect, such as the poor rainproof effect of the wooden plank road canopy.
- Management needs to be strengthened: There are problems such as unreasonable scheduling of sightseeing buses and long waiting times during the peak tourist season. The exit setting of the scenic area is unreasonable, guiding tourists to walk along the long "commercial street", but there are few shops and the experience is not good.
The lake is pure and indescribable blue; the wild flowers on the shore of the flower lake are colorful; the flower lake is the hometown of black-necked cranes, see one, and you can see many migratory birds such as big swans, spotted swans, red-headed ducks, gray scorpions, brown-headed scorpions.

Just by the four words "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau", it has irreplaceable uniqueness, attracting people to explore the magic of the plateau, so after being closed on the first day, we have to come again the next day, which is also the last stop of this trip to Xining. 24 exhibition halls of landform models/topography science/animal and plant specimens/Sanjiangyuan water samples, every step in the natural science popularization experience a sense of substitution, the spirituality of all things on the third pole of the roof of the world is majestic and magnificent.
No matter how smart and rare the Helena Morpho Butterfly is, or how full and sacred the Rhodiola rosea is, it is not as persistent and vivid as the exploration of Sanjiangyuan, and the scientific expedition to Mount Everest is so great and magnificent. The last two displays are particularly interesting
The museum is very large, rich in content, eye-opening, restoring the true history, popularizing humanities and geography, and improving the pattern! I admire the beautiful mountains and rivers of the motherland and the hard work and friendship of people of all ethnic groups. I like the beautiful mountains and rivers of the motherland!

Ningxia Zhongwei must come to Shapotou 🏜️Finally saw it, slid 3 times on the big sand slope, 2 cable cars 🚡 1 sheepskin raft to travel the Yellow River and sing folk songs, 1 speedboat 🚤 1 ladder, my family said it was so much fun ~ Shi 11 🐫 The sand sliding cable car staff are very enthusiastic, 98 99 100 The sheepskin raft masters are all very good
Advantages: The scenic area is large, the scenery is beautiful, the ticket price is worth it, you can see the Yellow River, sand slopes, and deserts, there are many projects in the desert, and there are free sand slides. You can take the bus to the scenic area. If you come out late, the staff will wait for a while. Disadvantages: The transfer bus is charged separately, but the price of a short section is the same as my ticket. The elevator is not open in the off-season

- Rich variety of animals: currently exhibiting more than 210 rare animals around the world, more than 3,000, covering representative animals on all continents, as well as four giant pandas "Hongyan", "Manlan", "home treasure" and "full" from the China Giant Panda Conservation Research Center. - The park plan is reasonable: it covers an area of 5,358 mu, consisting of the entrance area, walking tour area, car tour area and logistics service area. The ecological sightseeing belt divides the entire park into two circular tour routes, pedestrian and car dealerships, and also sets up 5 functional partitions. -Excellent ecological environment: pay attention to the creation of animal living environments, simulate different ecological environments, and make animal living spaces closer to nature, such as African tribal areas and American rainforest areas. - Strong science education function: actively carry out science education activities, with science popularization hall, giant panda hall science popularization display facilities, etc., through "science popularization into campus", weekend parent-child activities, multi-themed research courses and other forms to teach tourists zoology, ecology and other knowledge. - Complete supporting facilities: there is a fairy tale castle playground area, more than ten parent-child amusement equipment, as well as restaurants, shops and other commercial facilities, the dining area provides a variety of cuisines, which can meet the diversified needs of tourists.
There are not many tourists during non-holiday visits. The free train runs every half an hour, and you can first go around the car tour route. If you drive by yourself, you can buy tickets to experience it. You can interact with cute animals such as sheep and deer halfway. After the car tour, continue to visit the walking area. If you have enough strength, it is recommended not to take the 30-yuan sightseeing bus. It is more fun to walk slowly along the way. There are sea lion performances in the two reptile halls, four times a day. The staff in the park are not very enthusiastic, the dining place smells bad, and the food is not well prepared, which is a bit regrettable. In addition, the park is a little far from the city, and the transportation is inconvenient, so it is better to drive by yourself.

- Excellent location: Located at No. 303 Jianxi East Road, Qilihe District, Lanzhou City, it is the only marine polar theme park in Lanzhou. The transportation is convenient. There are direct subways around and parking is more convenient. - The venue layout is reasonable: there are 7 exhibitions and functional areas in the museum, including the Amazon rainforest area, the dream jellyfish area, the deep-sea treasure exploration area, the ice age area, etc., each area has unique themes and characteristic creatures. - Rich in marine life: It has a variety of marine and polar animals, such as penguins, arctic foxes, beluga whales, nurse sharks, golden fins, etc., as well as rare freshwater fish and amphibians such as colorful fairy fish, salmon, transparent frogs, etc., with a rich variety. - Strong science education function: There is an interactive exhibition area, professional interpreters will use models, specimens, etc. to tell children about the life habits of marine life, the living environment and the importance of marine protection in depth, and teach them fun. - Performance is wonderful and interesting: there are special programs such as dolphin performances, sea lion shows, mermaid performances, and animals make various difficult actions under the command of the trainer, and the performance is wonderful and loved by children.
Although Lanzhou Polar Ocean World is not as large as similar venues in first-tier cities, as a rare marine theme park in the northwest, the overall experience exceeds expectations. The polar animal display area such as penguins, beluga whales and other polar animals in the museum is compactly designed. Although the undersea tunnel is short but colorful, the lighting effects of the jellyfish hall are very dreamy. The dolphin performance on weekends is very interesting and suitable for parent-child interaction. Some exhibition cylinders have reflective problems, and the passenger flow is dense and slightly noisy in the afternoon. It is recommended to avoid the peak of the holiday and reserve 2 hours of tour time. The price/performance ratio is a medium-to-upper level in local leisure projects, which is a good place to escape the heat in the hot summer.
