What travellers say about Guazhou
一一只不平凡的人14 July 2026
5.0
For a site dating back 1700 years, I highly recommend hiring a guide. Walking around and seeing everything at your own pace is truly breathtaking. The guide was very detailed, explaining everything from the city gates and the Qilian Mountains to the animals and plants, creating a sense of dialogue and allowing you to savor the experience. There's a shuttle bus within the scenic area that stops at various points; be prepared for wind and sun, as it's windy here year-round. Souvenirs and cultural products are available at the entrance.

There is a famous tourist attraction hidden in this Gobi Desert. A baby-like statue has become a popular check-in spot for internet celebrities. It looks like a baby sleeping on the ground. It was designed by a professor from the Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts and took a year to complete. This lying sculpture is also known as the "Son of the Earth."

It’s a busy period and our driver tries to ensure all passengers are picked and sent back to our hotels or preferred destination along the way back. He also helped to purchase all attractions tickets and collect payment at the end of the trip which saved us a lot of hassle. A long and tiring trip but provided an opportunity to visit many attractions throughout.

我们驾车经过雕塑《大地之子》，不远处就是有名的雕塑《无界》，是清华大学教授董书兵在甘肃瓜州戈壁创作的巨型大地艺术装置，由纯白色钢结构组成，仿似丝路古城遗址的幻影。作品以现代极简风格再现传统建筑轮廓，长60米、高21米，与荒漠环境形成强烈视觉对比，象征文明与自然的永恒对话。作为"戈壁方舟"艺术计划的一部分，它与《大地之子》共同构成瓜州独特的艺术地标，吸引众多游客打卡。免费开放。

When I went there, the gate was closed and I had no chance to go in and take a look. I just walked around the outer wall and fulfilled my wish.

Guazhou Han Buddhism Ta'er Temple, where Master Xuanzang preached and ordained his disciples, the Hu people Shi Pantuo (the prototype of Sun Wukong). In the middle of the big tower is a thief's hole dug by the British Stein in 1907, and many scriptures were stolen. The big tower is also called the "Scripture Pavilion". Dear friends, if you have time, you can come here for a walk!

This is a place to purify the soul. The bowls made of human heads and drums made of human skin shock people's hearts and warn the world that one must have a righteous heart and be an honest official.
