Finally, I came to Shapotou, which I had missed for a long time. I experienced the scenery of the desert, saw the magnificent Yellow River, and rode a camel. Unfortunately, there were too many people and I couldn't fly over the Yellow River. The wind was strong and the sun was strong, so it was recommended to take good sun protection.

Overall it's good, Ctrip is really professional. If you don't have your ID card with you, you can just enter your ID number, but it will take a few seconds, not as fast as swiping your ID card.
Jiuzhaigou is worthy of its reputation. The Pearl Beach Waterfall and the Nuorilang Waterfall are both spectacular, with strong and clear water flows, which blend with the surrounding mountains and trees to create a beautiful picture.

The scenery is unique to the Northwest, with a deep blue sky, low-hanging white clouds, majestic Qilian Mountains, Emerald Lake as rich in color as emerald, and hundreds of acres of rapeseed fields. A casual shot of it is comparable to European and American blockbusters, which is refreshing and beautiful.
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.

The whole scenic area is divided into Guanzhugou and Emangou. If possible, it is best to drive here by yourself, otherwise there is no way to get there as the two scenic areas are 10 kilometers apart. There is no shuttle bus between the two scenic areas.
The package is valid for two days. On average, you walk about 9 kilometers in each scenic area, and you need to walk more in Emangou. Overall, it is okay. The shuttle bus fee for Guanzhugou is a bit outrageous~ but the scenic area is good. Recommended
One of the eight 5A-level scenic spots in Gansu Province. It is mainly for viewing mountains and water. It is divided into two valleys, Guanzhu Valley and Eman Valley. The mountain and water scenery is very beautiful, with many waterfalls. It is a summer resort. It is worth a visit.
If you are faster, you can complete the tour in one day, and if you are slower, you can complete it in one and a half days.

The best value for money for calcification pools. It's cheaper to buy individual tickets on a certain website. It's more suitable to drive there by yourself. After passing 28 turns and crossing the 3688 pass, the scenery is picturesque all the way. There are two calcification pools in the scenic area. The scenery is no worse than Huanglong. There are no people yet. You can take pictures at will. It's too quiet to come to Shenxian Pool after Jiuzhaigou. They don't even charge parking fees.
Mofu Cave: A place for Tibetan Buddhists to pray for blessings. The cave is full of prayer flags. After climbing to the top of the steep slope, you can overlook the panoramic view of the scenic area. It is suitable for tourists with good physical strength.
• Primeval forest: The scenic area is covered with primeval forests such as fir and spruce. Walking on the wooden plank road, you can see towering ancient trees and occasionally encounter small animals such as squirrels, which is full of natural wildness.

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.

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.

The ticket price is very high. It is recommended to stay in the scenic area for one night. It is cool in the morning and evening, and it is comfortable to walk, but the sun is still a bit hot during the day. It is less noisy than ordinary scenic spots and is suitable for meditation.
• Stunning scenery: The water area of Wenxian Tianchi is 2.5 square kilometers, the water depth is 97 meters, and the lake surface is 1,728 meters above sea level. It is known as the "Four Great Tianchi in China" together with Changbai Mountain Tianchi, Tianshan Tianchi, and Inner Mongolia Arshan Tianchi. The lake is as clear as a mirror, surrounded by mountains and dense forests. There are many unique peaks such as Xiangbizui, Fairy Stone, and Shizibao. The lake and mountains complement each other. The scenery varies in four seasons. In spring, there are flowers in full bloom, in summer, there are green mountains and green waters, in autumn, there are red leaves all over the mountains, and in winter, there are silver.
• Special wonders: It is famous for the wonders of "no source to be found, no fallen leaves on the lake, and no ice on the lake", which is full of mystery. Due to the crustal activity in ancient times, the crust broke, and the Yangtang River was blocked to form Tianchi. This geological phenomenon of blocking the river channel and accumulating water to form a lake due to earthquakes also adds a unique geological charm to Tianchi.
• Long history: It was called "Tianweiqiu" in ancient times. After the Tang Dynasty Jinshi Jian Leibao pacified the An Lushan Rebellion, he lived in seclusion beside Tianweiqiu and cultivated himself. The emperor of the Song Dynasty named him "Yangtang Dahai Pingbo Minze Dragon King", and the pool water was therefore changed to "Yangtang Tianchi".
• Strong ethnic customs: This is one of the oldest settlements of the Baima tribe in East Asia. The Baima people wear white feather crowns and sing ancient songs. There is also a unique "Chi Ge Zhou" Nuo dance, which adds a strong ethnic cultural atmosphere to the scenic area.
• Gradually improved facilities: In recent years, the scenic area has strengthened infrastructure construction, built a tourist service center, built sightseeing car roads, plank roads, pavilions, etc., and planned a lakeside trail, corridors, viewing platforms, docks, etc. to facilitate tourists to visit.
• Improved service level: The scenic area aims to create a national 5A-level tourist attraction and a national tourist destination. It continues to work hard in optimizing tourist routes and enriching tourist products, and is committed to improving tourists' satisfaction and happiness.

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.
