9:30 to enter the park 14:30 to leave the park. We played all except the flying dragon. We went to the desert area first and then the Yellow River. We also had a meal in the viewing restaurant. We must go early because there will be a lot of people in the afternoon. There are not many people in the desert area in the morning. There is almost no queue. The flying dragon baby should be 35KG, otherwise it is easy to get stuck in the middle and can't fly. But even if you don't play the flying dragon, it is still worth buying a package. Children like flying in the desert and riding camels the most
Finally got here to check in. What I'm most looking forward to is the sheepskin raft, which is very fun. The rowing master No. 81 is great! The whole rafting time is about 15 minutes. The masters will sing together, which is quite interesting.

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.

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

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
We arrived at the scenic spot at 5pm. It was still very sunny. The scenic spot was very empty. We couldn't enter the mausoleum. We could only look at the periphery. There was no explanation. In fact, we could have an external explanation in front of the stone tablet introducing the mausoleum. The carriage seemed unnecessary. The horses looked tired. We traveled between Mausoleum No. 3 and Mausoleum No. 4.

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.
Jingbian Danxia Natural Scenic Area is located in Jingbian County, Shaanxi Province, composed of red sandstone Danxia landforms, known as the annual wheel of time. The large area of Danxia landforms have formed a unique natural landscape, and I have to admire the magical work of nature. The vegetation outside the canyon is dense and green, the red rock inside the canyon is beautiful, the green moss, the texture on the rock wall is delicate, the light is strange, and the beauty is beautiful. The Danxia landform of the Wave Valley was formed in the Cretaceous period 96 million years ago. The red sandstones in this area are brightly colored and look like flame mountains from afar. The red sandstones are stacked like the annual wheels of time, and the undulating rock texture is like waves, like running water, like a gyro, like clouds.

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. . . .

- 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.
Maijishan Grottoes is one of the four major grottoes in China. It has a long history and is mainly made of clay sculptures. It is known as the "Oriental Sculpture Exhibition Hall". Special Cave 44 "Oriental Mona Lisa", Special Cave 121 "Whispering", Special Cave 133 "Oriental Smile" and other special grottoes are both exquisite and stunning.

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.
