What else can I say about Shapotou? It is highly recommended. Sand sliding, desert off-road vehicles, and desert three-wheelers are all very exciting and suitable for children. Thumbs up!
I heard that the Shapotou ticket was free in June, but now it has returned to normal! The scenic area is very large, we only stayed in the Yellow River area, and came here to fly over the Yellow River, which was very exciting and fun!

The scenery is pretty good, but it was cloudy when I went there, so it wasn't clear enough and bright enough. It might be better if I went there on a sunny day. The scenic area is not big, and you can walk around it in 20-30 minutes. There are also small trains, horse-drawn carriages and other vehicles in the scenic area, and pedestrians are not allowed to pass. There is a special pedestrian passage for pedestrians.
In July, I visited Qinghai Lake again. Located in Qinghai Province, China, it is the largest inland salt water lake in China, covering an area of about 4,583 square kilometers and an altitude of 3,200 meters. The lake is clear and blue, surrounded by snow-capped mountains, grasslands and rapeseed fields, with magnificent scenery. This is an important habitat for migratory birds, known as the "Pearl of the Plateau". Qinghai Lake is also a holy lake for Tibetan people, with important religious and cultural significance. Every summer, the lake-round bicycle race attracts many tourists and becomes a famous tourist attraction.

It is different from the Seven-Colored Danxia, it is another kind of beauty, there are camel rides, you can also take a camel cart, but even so, the distance is still very long. Especially the spiral staircase, it takes a long time to climb.
The scenery is OK. Children under 12 years old are not allowed to climb the ladder in the sky, but it is not dangerous, but the steps are tiring to climb. In addition, the service needs to be improved. Someone cut in line and the staff said they didn't care. The child fell and looked for a band-aid in several places.
In addition, the Zhangye local ID card is free of admission, but the scenic shuttle bus is not free.

Binggou River is so beautiful! Snow-capped mountains, forests, grasslands, streams, like a fairyland. The scenic area service is also very considerate. It is an extremely pleasant dream trip, worth coming again.
You can adjust and modify the content according to actual needs.
Qilian Mountain Binggou River Scenic Area is a plateau secret with pristine and magnificent scenery and excellent ecological environment. Its charm lies in its relatively small and unpolished natural beauty, which is particularly suitable for tourists who seek tranquility, love hiking and natural scenery. However, its relatively inconvenient transportation, incomplete infrastructure, and certain requirements for physical strength and high altitude adaptation are also objective problems.

This is my second time in Chaka. Last time I went to the Chaka Salt Lake Scenic Area, and this time I came to the Sky No. 1 Scenic Area. It felt good, but the weather was not good. However, there was no wind, and the reflections could still be photographed. The route of the small train was more reasonable.
This place is quite famous, but the view really depends on the weather. The sky mirror that is advertised is usually not visible, there is no reflection at all, all is white salt fields, as if frozen. It's just average.

The scenery of the scenic spot is great, and the stone forest looks spectacular. I don't know if it's because the scenic spot is not promoted enough, there are relatively few people, and the experience is strong. It is still worth a visit. I heard that the construction of the reservoir in the future will affect the scenic spot, which is quite a pity.
A great scenic spot, it is very photogenic on a sunny day, the scenic spot is well organized, and the shuttle bus connects very efficiently. It is worth mentioning that the locals learned that the scenic spot will be partially submerged in the future due to the construction of water conservancy facilities, so it is worth a rescue check-in.

I bought a double ticket for 238 yuan. When I went there, three or four projects were not open. I played all the projects that were open. I also watched the dolphin show in the aquarium. The aquarium was very rich and beautiful. Since it closed at 18:00, I didn't see the aquarium carefully, which was a bit regrettable. Water World was also open, which was included in the pass. I didn't go in because I didn't bring swimming trunks, but I didn't have time to play. Overall, it was worth it.
Xinhualian Tongmeng Park integrates amusement, animal and plant appreciation and knowledge popularization, providing convenient conditions for children to get in touch with and understand relevant animal and plant knowledge in an all-round way. It also has convenient transportation and parking, making it an ideal choice for family leisure and entertainment on weekends.

There are many highlights of Tonghu grassland, surrounded by sand dunes, but the green grass due to the desert lake, one side is the vast grassland, the other is the golden desert, the grassland and the desert wonderful blend of the scenery is a must. You can experience interesting projects such as camel riding, sandboarding, desert surfing, and Mongolian singing and dancing performances, bonfire parties, and you can immerse yourself in the national customs. If you have enough time, stay for one night and enjoy the desert starry sky for a more complete experience.
It belongs to Inner Mongolia, with grasslands and sandy land. There are bonfire parties at night. You need to take a shuttle bus to the scenic area. There are sheep and camels on the grassland. It is not far from Zhongwei. After visiting Shapotou, you can go for a walk. It takes about an hour.

Zhongshan Bridge/Xiguan | >100 km from downtown

Baitashan Park is free. At night, I look across the Yellow River. The lights are very beautiful. The pavilion on the other side looks particularly beautiful on the mountain, which is more beautiful than during the day. The temperature at night is higher than the bottom of the day and you need to wear more coats.
Baitashan Park is located at No. 1 Baitashan, Chengguan District, Lanzhou City, Gansu Province, at 30°05′N, 119°47′E, and is located in the center of the Yellow River Scenic Line. The total area is 101.35 hectares, and the location is convenient for transportation. It is 1 km away from Lanzhou Xiguan Subway Station and 6.8 km away from the high-speed railway west station.
In 1960, Baitashan Park was fully opened. In 1963, Baitashan Park implemented ticket sales. The spatial characteristics of Lanzhou City, "two mountains and one river", determine the layout of the mountain parks on both sides of Lanzhou. They are built on the mountain, and the scenic spots are built on the high points of the mountain system to form a mutual view relationship with the opposite mountain, and form a visual corridor. Standing on the top of the mountain to observe the urban landscape pattern, it presents an introverted and two-way visual space type. There are many types of buildings in Baitashan Park. There are not only six Ming and Qing Dynasty buildings, including Baita Temple (Ci'en Temple), Sanxing Hall, Sanguan Hall, Fayu Temple, Yunyue Temple and Fenglinxiangniao Archway, but also the "Jiuqu Anlan" open hall, the second archway, and the third hall, which were relocated and rebuilt in 1958. It belongs to the temperate continental climate. The annual average temperature is 10.3℃. It is located in the transition area between the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the Loess Plateau. The summer is short and hot, the winter is cold and long, and the temperature difference between day and night is large. There are rich landform types, and the overall terrain increases from south to north. The altitude is between 2238 and 2513 meters. It belongs to the loess ridge landform, with mountains and peaks, and is also a natural barrier to the north of Lanzhou City.
In 2013, the Lanzhou Municipal Bureau of Landscape and Greening first selected Baitashan Park as a pilot for the star park selection from 12 parks in the city.

It is a very nice green mountain among the mountains in Gansu. The air is good and it is not very tiring to climb. The scenery is quite nice. There is also a cable car between the two mountains, which is quite good.
Yuzhong County is a great place because it includes the Xinglong Mountain Scenic Area. Negative oxygen ions fill the scenic area, making it a well-deserved natural oxygen bar. Tourists also come here to appreciate the beauty of Xinglong. It's a great pleasure.
