The Danxia landforms at this 4A scenic area are spectacular. Besides the Danxia landforms, the scenic area also offers other enjoyable experiences, including rentals for electric cars, cable cars, hot air balloons, glass rafting, and helicopter rides. Those with ample time can choose a standard tour, while those pressed for time can opt for an SVIP chartered car. Aside from the sun, the experience was otherwise perfect.
After checking in at the visitor center, there's a round-trip sightseeing bus service between the 1st Silk Road Historic Site (the pink line in Figure 2). There's also a round-trip sightseeing bus service between the 1st Silk Road Historic Site and the 2nd Danding Lansheng (the green line in Figure 2). After arriving at the Danding Lansheng, take the sightseeing bus back to the 1st Silk Road Historic Site. You'll then need to take another route. There's no sightseeing bus service between the 1st Silk Road Historic Site and the 4th Hot Air Balloon Platform. You can either walk there or rent a separate bus for 28 yuan (an additional fee). There's also a two-way sightseeing bus service from the 4th Hot Air Balloon Platform to the 6th Shayun Camel Bell Platform. If you're planning to take the circular route to the summit, there's no sightseeing bus service from the 6th Shayun Camel Bell Platform to the 2nd Danding Lansheng Platform. At the visitor center entrance, many tour guides suggest upgrading your online ticket to SVIP for a little over 100 yuan, allowing you to take a dedicated circular bus, eliminating the hassle of getting up and down and enjoying a direct tour. After I got off the Red Summit Range Rover and arrived at the Silk Road Historic Site, I didn't rent a car alone. I walked to the hot air balloon platform and added another person for more than 60 yuan to go to the Dancing Horse Performance Center to watch the Dancing Horse Show. The scenery was not so colorful, but the show looked much better.

Xining Wildlife Park displays animals unique to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, such as snow leopards, Tibetan antelopes, Przewalski's gazelles, and black-necked cranes. Visitors can observe these plateau animals up close and learn about their living habits.
I went there to donate some money to Ling Xiaozhe. I saw several snow leopards, which was the biggest purpose of my trip. There are two places for snow leopard exhibition. The snow leopard on the top of the mountain didn't come out. I didn't have enough time to wait. There were a lot of people. Some tourists pulled branches to feed the animals. I still suggest that the park should strengthen management and guidance. The wild animal area and bird garden are very large, and they feel good.

I highly recommend finding a museum guide to guide you during your visit. You can learn a lot of historical knowledge. Our guide was very knowledgeable, knew the cultural relics like the back of his hand, and answered our questions very patiently.
Teacher Wu's lecture was great. The children followed closely and listened attentively. When he talked about the special points, he interspersed modern culture. Like it. Like it. Like it. Like it.

It is a modern imitation of an antique building with 16 floors. Take the elevator up and you can see the scenery at the bend of the Yellow River. There are various exhibitions on other floors. Time is tight, so I carefully looked at the Yellow River Stone exhibition.
The 30 yuan entrance fee is truly worth it. Located at the bend of the Yellow River, the 16-story building is accessible by elevator. The 16th floor offers a panoramic view of the river. Further down, you'll find a high-tech exhibition featuring Lanzhou historical maps and videos, a folk customs exhibition, a book exhibition, an exhibition of Yellow River rocks, and an exhibition on the city of Lanzhou. This is a truly stunning attraction, showcasing both natural beauty and cultural geography. Highly recommended.

Although there are not many flowers in this season, there are green grass, blue sky and white clouds, and small flowers can be seen everywhere on the grass. It's a great experience to experience the grassland scenery! My parents are a little bit altitude sick and didn't experience it. It's worth a visit!
Although I didn't see many flowers, the mirror-like lake, framed by lush green water plants and a blue sky with white clouds, was a truly stunning photo opportunity. Feeding the waterfowl by the lake, watching ducks or geese chase and play with the fish, was a beautiful experience of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature. While the scenic area is relatively well-equipped, most of the plank roads are unprotected, so be careful when taking photos or if there are too many people.

The night cruise on the Yellow River takes 35 minutes. There are four docks. It is usually busier at Baitashan Dock. Tickets are 95 yuan each and 49 yuan for seniors. Lanzhou sunsets at about 8:30 in July. You can see the night view of both sides of the river by taking a cruise after 8 o'clock. However, the cruise is very short and you turn around and come back. It is not very amazing. You can take it or not.

This is probably the closest scenic spot to Qinghai Lake besides Erlangjian. The scenic spot is free of charge, but because it is far to get in, you need a battery car, which costs 40 yuan per person, but it is really worth it. You can play directly by the Qinghai Lake, there are a lot of Huangyu fish, and there is also a large stone tablet of Qinghai Lake, which is suitable for checking in and taking photos.
The location here for viewing Qinghai Lake is excellent. The newly opened scenic area is not crowded and the price-performance ratio is high. Driving from here to Heimahe via Huanhu West Road is probably the most beautiful section of Qinghai Lake.

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!

- 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.
