    If you are on your way, you can come here. It is a bit tiring to come here specially. The road to the scenic area is under construction. If the car has a low chassis, it is easy to bump into it. You need to drive or charter a car. The bus is not convenient. The ticket price is 30. The scenery of the reservoir is good. The mountains and water meet. There is only one grotto, which is also newly renovated at the back.

    The scenery was so beautiful that we kept taking photos and lost track of time. Around 6 pm, we got off at the "Daydream Cinema," but there were no more buses or minibuses, and no staff members were around. No one had reminded us of the last shuttle bus time, so the two of us had to walk to the visitor center, about 4.5 kilometers away. The wind was strong, the temperature was -1.5 degrees Celsius, and it got dark quickly. The further we walked, the more scared we became. We tried calling the scenic area, but no one answered. Finally, we called 110 (the police emergency number) and asked them to contact the scenic area staff. After hanging up, a Li Auto electric scooter passed by, and the driver stopped and readily gave us a ride to the parking lot. We chatted along the way, and the driver said he was from the Space Capsule Hotel. His surname was Wang; he was probably the owner or manager. We were extremely grateful to him and will definitely stay there again next time! The first photo was taken on the way to the visitor center.

    The White Pagoda Temple's historical significance outweighs its tourist value. For a history enthusiast, this is a must-see, as it bears witness to Tibet's annexation to China and provides the best evidence that Tibet has been part of China since ancient times. The temple is quiet, and you can circumambulate the pagoda. The museum is also worth a visit.

    I had low expectations for this attraction based on reviews, saying it was mostly group tours. But when we arrived, the first thing we felt was the warm service. From selling tickets, borrowing wheelchairs, to getting a tour guide, every staff member we interacted with was truly heartwarming. The tour guide was especially enthusiastic throughout the entire experience, as was the Tu ethnic brother who promoted Tu ethnic customs. We enjoyed authentic barley flour mooncakes and heartwarming milk tea. Finally, the brother gave me a self-study textbook for the Tu ethnic language, giving me the opportunity to learn my own language while living in a foreign land. Thank you! I hope the Tu Ethnic Culture Park can reflect on its strengths and weaknesses and continue to improve!

    The Wuwei Confucian Temple was first built in the Ming Dynasty, nearly 600 years ago. It is the largest Confucian temple in Northwest China, hailed as the "Crown of Confucian Temples in Longyou," and one of the three major Confucian temples in the country. It consists of three parts: the Confucian Temple itself, the Wenchang Palace, and the Confucian Academy. Only the ruins of the Confucian Academy remain today. Most notably, it features forty-four plaques, masterpieces by calligraphers from the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China period.

    The number of visitors was absolutely enormous; you were basically just being pushed around by the crowd. I saw the Flying Horse of Gansu and the Little Girl with the Curtain-like Hairpin. There weren't many exhibits inside; pottery made up a large portion. Overall, it was alright. I hired a guided tour, so at least I didn't just wander around aimlessly.

    It was the first time I took the elderly to Lanzhou. I felt the convenience of the service. The volunteers provided wheelchairs. I saw the golden python shedding its skin, the strange jellyfish 🪼 and the mysterious underwater world. It was a very good tour experience!
