Things to do in Yongjing

The Bingling Temple Grottoes are hailed by scholars as an "encyclopedia of Chinese grottoes," holding an irreplaceable and important position in my country's grotto art. It is not only one of the three major grottoes in Gansu, but also the first Yellow River grotto on the Silk Road.

The Liujiaxia Reservoir is a large-scale hydroelectric power station built independently during the First Five-Year Plan. The green Yellow River and the earthy yellow mountain valleys complement each other beautifully, and the scenery along the bridge is also stunning. It's definitely worth a visit!

The confluence of the Yellow River and the Tao River is quite spectacular. It takes at least 20 minutes to walk from the entrance of the scenic area to the viewing platform, and you have to climb a slope. The shuttle bus needs to be purchased separately. You can hear a lot of geographical explanations on the viewing platform.

I drove there on a self-driving tour from Liujiaxia Town. It was a long way to go. Some of the statues on the grotto walls were blocked by gauze and could not be seen clearly. Some were still empty. Only the Buddha statues were magnificent. I took a long detour back to the entrance. It is suitable for scholars and scholars. I think it is okay. If you want to see the special grottoes, you need to make a separate reservation and buy a ticket, which seems to be 300 yuan.

The viewing platform has a very wide field of vision, and you can have a bird's eye view of the entire reservoir area and the beautiful scenery of the bridge. The spectacular Liujiaxia Bridge spans over the Mercedes-Benz Valley like a rainbow, overlooking the vast blue waves of the Liujiaxia Reservoir, which are as quiet as a virgin. The speedboats and ships passing by draw long waves, making the reservoir area lively. The wooden plank road built beside the mountain is like a giant dragon nestling on the mountain, which is very spectacular.

It takes 30 minutes to drive from Yongjing County. There is a parking lot and a ticket office, but no gate. Along the way, there is a dinosaur footprint fossil exhibition hall on the mountain. Unlike the geological museums in big cities, this is a dinosaur exhibition hall built on a real dinosaur footprint fossil site 100 million years ago. In the museum, you can see bird footprints, dinosaur footprints, lizard footprints, and stream footprints up close.
