At night, I can see the super beautiful starry sky in the Yellow River Courtyard in Shapotou Scenic Area. I originally went to the sandboarding field to see the stars. As a result, I only looked at the stars and forgot to take pictures. I walked to the parking lot at the entrance of the small courtyard and looked up. I can see a very beautiful scenery, not less than other places. The staff are very enthusiastic, the room is cleaned very clean, the view in the courtyard is also very good, sitting by the Yellow River and watching the sheepskin dumplings float too healing!
Shapotou Scenic Area feels very good, sandboarding is very fun, very exciting, that is, don't pull too much brakes, the staff service attitude is good, the explanation is very patient, it is recommended!

For tourists: a free attraction! The photo is very popular, but the scale is not large! If you walk around and see it, you can get it within 30 minutes. Take your mother to take a pat. It takes about an hour in total. There are a lot of people, because it is really special. It seems that there is a closing time, you have to check it in advance. Parking is not convenient, because it is on the side of the road in the city. There are mosques in the north and west, you can choose one you like to go to a feeling!
Hand-pulled mutton: a traditional Qinghai delicacy, made from yaks or Tibetan sheep, stewed in clear water, the meat is tender, not smelly or greasy, dipped in pepper salt or garlic paste, and paired with brick tea, the taste is excellent.
• Stir-fried skin: thicker yellow skin than cold skin, topped with chili oil, mustard sauce and other condiments, sour and spicy appetizing, a popular snack, can be paired with sweet embryos.
• Qinghai old yogurt: made from yak milk, thick enough to stand up a spoon, with golden milk skin on the surface, sweet and sour, and richer taste with honey.
Folk culture
• Tibetan culture: Qinghai is one of the Tibetan settlements, with a unique Tibetan Buddhist culture, such as the religious rituals of the Ta'er Temple, the Tibetan customs of turning the sutra, and the burning of mulberry, as well as exquisite thangka paintings, Tibetan carpet weaving and other traditional skills.
• Tu culture: The Tu people have their own language, costumes, songs and dances, and traditional festivals, such as the "Naton Festival", during which there are lively Nuo dance performances, horse racing and other activities.
Clean energy industry landscape
• Gonghe County Photovoltaic Base: Gonghe County, Hainan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, has one of the world's largest photovoltaic bases. Large tracts of blue photovoltaic panels shine brightly in the desert, forming a spectacular industrial landscape, and also realizing the ecological model of "generating electricity on the panels and herding sheep under the panels".

Because it rained that day, the ticket inspector at the door saw that we were old and enthusiastically sent us ponchos to remind us to pay attention to safety. Because I didn't sit on the ropeway on rainy days, I entered Guan'egou the next day. The ticket inspectors were very enthusiastic to communicate with the scenic area, so that we could meet the desire to go to the top of the mountain and fully feel the hospitality and humanized service of the people of Gansu.

Very worth going to the scenic spot. Compared with the scene of Jiuzhaigou people, this niche attraction has fewer beautiful people. It is a combination of Jiuzhai and Huanglong. Walking in the scenic spot seems to be in a fairyland. Have a chance to come again.
The scenery is beautiful, but the restaurant is closed before 1 noon. The entire scenic area is not large and the attractions are concentrated. There are both the sea of Jiuzhai and the pool of Huanglong. The miniature version is passed by the 28 bends on the road from Jiuzhaigou. The scenery on the road is beautiful.

I bought a double ticket of 238 yuan. When I went there, there were three or four projects that were not opened. I played all the projects that were opened. I also watched the aquarium dolphin show. The aquarium was very rich and beautiful. Because it was closed at 18:00, the aquarium did not look carefully. It was a pity. The water world is also open, the pass is included, because I didn't bring swimming trunks, I didn't go in, but I didn't have time to play, overall it was very worthwhile.
Xinhualian Children's Dream Park integrates amusement, animal and plant viewing and knowledge popularization, providing convenient conditions for children to contact and understand relevant animal and plant knowledge in all directions. And convenient transportation and convenient parking are ideal for weekend family leisure and entertainment.

✨ **Enter the secret realm of ice and snow in Qilian Mountain! ** ✨
At an altitude of 3,000 meters, the glaciers and grasslands collide to create a magical wonderland - 🗻 With snow-capped mountains as the backdrop, streams flow through the tundra like silver chains, and at the end of the wooden plank road is a river valley where amaranth flowers are in full bloom. Yaks walk in the clouds, marmots poke their heads out of caves, and every step is like stepping into the cover of National Geographic!
📸 **Must-check-in points**:
1️⃣ **Linhai Tianchi**: The "Tear Lake" reflected by the snow-capped mountains, the drone perspective is so beautiful that it is suffocating!
2️⃣ **Nymera Grand Canyon**: Red Rock Canyon + Glacier Relics, a paradise of light and shadow for hikers.
3️⃣ **Chaierlong Lake**: In the evening, the lake water will change to Tiffany blue with the light!

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.
The photos are very good, with the texture of movies and local features. The wind is very strong, be careful to prevent sandstorms. The queues are long on May 1st. A small suggestion is that there are too many transfers, and each transfer means queuing. I hope the traffic can be optimized again

There are many highlights of Tonghu grassland, surrounded by sand dunes, but the green grass due to the desert lake, one side is the vast grassland, the other is the golden desert, the grassland and the desert wonderful blend of the scenery is a must. You can experience interesting projects such as camel riding, sandboarding, desert surfing, and Mongolian singing and dancing performances, bonfire parties, and you can immerse yourself in the national customs. If you have enough time, stay for one night and enjoy the desert starry sky for a more complete experience.
It belongs to Inner Mongolia, with grasslands and sandy land. There are bonfire parties at night. You need to take a shuttle bus to the scenic area. There are sheep and camels on the grassland. It is not far from Zhongwei. After visiting Shapotou, you can go for a walk. It takes about an hour.

It is a very nice green mountain among the mountains in Gansu. The air is good and it is not very tiring to climb. The scenery is quite nice. There is also a cable car between the two mountains, which is quite good.
Yuzhong County is a great place, because it contains Xinglong Mountain Scenic Area, negative oxygen ions are full of scenic spots, it is a well-deserved natural oxygen bar, tourists also come to admire the beauty of prosperity, fast

The following is a review of Sangke Grassland:
Beautiful natural scenery
- Vast grassland: Sangke Grassland covers an area of 70 square kilometers, with an average altitude of over 3,000 meters. The terrain is gently undulating, vast and boundless, and the vision is extremely broad, allowing people to truly feel the artistic conception of "the sky is vast and the wilderness is vast".
- Surrounded by water systems: The Daxia River meanders from south to north, adding agile beauty to the grassland. The river water is clear, sparkling under the sunlight, and contrasting with the green grassland, like a poem and a painting.
- Lush vegetation: It belongs to the meadow grassland, with lush water and grass. In summer, the grass is green, and various wild flowers compete for beauty. Gesang flowers, Sulu flowers, etc. are dotted among them, making the grassland colorful.
Rich in humanistic customs
- Rich folk culture: This is the settlement of Tibetan people, with unique Tibetan customs. Visitors can experience wearing Tibetan clothes, living in tents, eating Tibetan food, etc., and feel the authentic Tibetan nomadic life.
- Deep historical heritage: According to the "History of Amdo Politics and Religion", Sangke Grassland was once the place where the Tibetan hero King Gesar burned mulberry to help and won the king by horse racing. It also held many grand Tibetan Buddhist Buddhist activities, and has a deep cultural heritage.
- Diverse traditional festivals: During the Xianglang Festival in June of the lunar calendar every year, local farmers and herdsmen will carry out entertainment activities such as horse racing, tug-of-war, and wrestling, and dance Guozhuang around the bonfire at night. On July 13, the Shambhala Horse Racing Festival, riders showed their superb horse skills and it was very lively.
Complete tourism facilities
- Complete basic service facilities: Sangke Town focuses on the "boutique" tourism positioning and promotes the construction of tourism infrastructure. Tourist toilets, parking lots, tourist service centers, horse riding service centers, etc. are gradually improved, providing convenience for tourists.
- Rich accommodation and dining options: There are traditional Tibetan tents, high-end wild luxury tent camps, and characteristic homestays to meet the needs of different tourists. In terms of catering, in addition to Tibetan cuisine, there are also some dishes suitable for the general public.
Remarkable results in ecological protection
The local government actively carried out ecological restoration work. In 2020, Xiahe County was included in the first batch of degraded grassland artificial grass planting ecological restoration pilot projects of the National Forestry and Grassland Administration. After efforts, the degraded grassland has been managed on a large scale, the vegetation coverage has been significantly improved, and the grassland ecological environment has gradually recovered.
Take a one-day chartered tour of Sangke Grassland, Labrang Monastery and Dalzong Lake in Lanzhou, Gansu Province. Sangke Grassland is located on the west side of Xiahe County, Gannan. There are hills and open fields on the grassland. In summer, the grassland is covered with green grass and wild flowers, which is very beautiful. The grassland is only about 11 kilometers away from Xiahe County, where Labrang Monastery is located.
