It's so fun here, suitable for adults and children, let alone the elderly. There are many projects such as sheepskin rafting, sand sliding, and chariots. It takes at least a whole day to play. The weather was very good that day, which is usually very hot.
The Yellow River area of Shapotou Scenic Area is an intoxicating tourist destination. It not only has the magnificent scenery of "the lone smoke rising in the desert and the setting sun over the long river", but also has exciting and fun activities such as the Yellow River zipline and sheepskin rafting. Here, you can enjoy the charm of nature and feel the profoundness of the Yellow River culture. It is a good place worth visiting.

Danxia landform is worth seeing, but the route of the scenic spot is not set up properly. There is a section of the route where you don't take the sightseeing bus, and you are asked to pay to rent a shared electric car. Or you are asked to pay extra to upgrade to VIP. All you can see is money.
Ink Danxia, most platforms are very convenient to buy tickets, but whether it is Trip.com or applet, there are only adult tickets, children's tickets, and elderly tickets under 69 years old, 70 years old and above, to buy at the ticket office, 20 yuan is not expensive, but it is inconvenient.

I visited the filming location of A Chinese Odyssey. It was a simple film and television studio with no decorations, but it was able to produce various eye-catching effects, which shows the skill of the director and actors.
A very old-fashioned place. I saw the scenes from "A Chinese Odyssey" when I was a kid. It was very good. There were also many Zixia fairies. The coverage was very comprehensive. It was a good place and worth visiting. Recommended

There was a queue of nearly 200 meters from the entrance before the museum opened, but you really have to enter the museum early, otherwise there will be several layers of people in front of the horse at noon. The museum is not big, and it seems crowded when there are many people. There are several exhibition areas with insufficient air conditioning, but the content is still quite rich. Especially the temporary exhibition starting on the 8th is worth visiting.
Witness the precipitation of the years, each piece is the dialogue of time and space. The favorite is the ceramic museum, the portrait porcelain, the horse treading swallow, the bronze god tree, the Dunhuang mural flying god statue, the exquisite and wonderful

In the museum, you can learn about the history and culture of the Western Xia Dynasty, and you can also see many unearthed cultural relics and architectural styles of the Western Xia Tombs.
Each section of the sightseeing bus route is well arranged, with small trains, horse carriages and tourist buses, and the waiting time is not long.
This is a full on day picked up at 710am and dropped off 635pm- but well worth it . Unfortunately it wasn't clear that we had to pay extra cost Western Xia Mausoleum. The driver was excellent and we had a great day

Wave Valley is not very friendly to the elderly, as it is all ups and downs. However, if you spend 15 yuan to walk on the bridge, you can save a lot of time and energy. The scenery is more beautiful. Unfortunately, I didn’t walk down due to physical problems.
There are no sightseeing tools here, you have to rely on your legs to measure, and you have to rely on your physical strength to go up and down. In the hot summer, the sun is shining on your head and you sweat profusely. If you don't have enough physical strength, just take the small loop! The scenic area is relatively clean, but the scenery does not have any surprises.

You can walk a long way along the Grand Canyon. It's fun to look at the rock paintings carefully. The Sun God is a little steep, but it's not difficult for young people to climb. The waterfall at Shuiguan is a surprise, but the round-trip sightseeing bus is a bit tasteless.
The price-performance ratio is very high. It is a city worth visiting. . . . Good, good, good, good, the scenery is very good, the weather is also very good, it is worth seeing. The scenic area is very special and the scenery is unique. . . .

There is a No. 34 bus from the Tianshui Railway Station exit that goes directly to the tourist center of the scenic area. The fare is 5 yuan and it takes 50 minutes (it took me 40 minutes). The Maiji Mountain ticket is 80 yuan, and the scenic shuttle bus is 30 yuan (including round trip to the tourist center and two scenic shuttle trips).
- Visiting Route 1: The route passes through caves of large scale and steepness, with the highest point vertical distance of 84 meters. You can experience the grand scene of ancient ancestors digging large caves.
- Visiting Route 2: The route is relatively flat, passing through Cave 44 (Western Wei Dynasty, special cave), the most representative cave in Maijishan Grottoes, and Cave 78 (Northern Wei Dynasty, special cave), one of the earliest caves.

Although the locals dislike it, I think it is still worth seeing for outsiders. The view of the Yellow River from the top of the building is spectacular. There are also some places to visit in the building.
I didn't plan to go to the Yellow River Tower. I wanted to see the light show after taking a Yellow River cruise on the first night in Lanzhou, but the lights were not on that day! I had to go back to the hotel to sleep. I arranged a trip the next morning, but I didn't go. It started to rain heavily at noon, so I planned to rest in the hotel. I thought I would leave at night, and the Yellow River Tower was only a few minutes' walk from the hotel, so the three of us decided to go there in the rain. Fortunately, we went there. There was an elevator directly to the 16th floor. There were exhibitions on many floors. The view of the Yellow River on the top floor was also spectacular. The 30 yuan ticket was really worth it.

Ganquan Grand Canyon is actually a collective name for several valleys, and only two are open at present.
When you enter the valley, you will be amazed by the wonders of nature, it is so beautiful.
The tourist service center of the scenic area is far away from the scenic area, and you need to take the scenic area bus. The cost is a bit high. There are also many villages in the scenic area.
