2025 Huzhu Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

Starting from Lanzhou, who hasn’t come to these treasure places to camp? ~ From Lanzhou! ! Become one with the sky and nature at the stunning sunset Right in Lanshan! ! Stop talking about taking photos of the night view of San Francisco in Lanshan! Come here to sit and barbecue and camp in the afternoon. Don't be too comfortable~ I saw the beautiful sunset in the evening and was so happy that I wanted to cry! In my mind, Shimen is really the ceiling for camping. The scenery is super beautiful, but the road is bad. The wheels were broken when we pulled the camper in. It takes more than an hour from Lanzhou, and it costs 10 yuan per car and 8 yuan per person. I found another treasure place two days ago, which is better than Shuangshimen. It has beautiful scenery and few people. It is Songduo Forest Park, located in Huzhu, Qinghai. It is only a little over 3 hours from Lanzhou. You can definitely come back in one day, and it is free. You can also camp there with a camper van. There are few people. I visited Linxia Zhuzigou for the second time. The parking fee is 10 yuan. You can pull in a camper, take a sightseeing bus, and ride a horse. This time I camped by the tree inside. There were many bugs. The first time I went there, I was halfway up the mountain, and there were also many bugs. Sisters can camp opposite the amusement facilities, where there are no bugs~ When you are tired from work, Lanzhou must be a good place for vacation, quiet, beautiful and peaceful [Awesome]

⚠️ Don’t read this 5-day itinerary for exploring the Northwest. : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : I adjusted the route and extended the time spent in Qinghai Lake. I also moved the itinerary to Chaka Salt Lake to the next morning. There were fewer tourists at Chaka Salt Lake at this time. We can take our time taking pictures and playing. ❤️ Chaerhan Salt Lake is more beautiful than Chaka Salt Lake. We can speed across the thousand-meter salt bridge and see the Qinghai-Tibet Railway passing through the salt bridge. ❤️ Many tourists don’t know that the most beautiful time for Yadan on the water is at sunrise and sunset. The starry sky at night is also YYDS; if we want to see such a beautiful scenery, we need to live in the scenic area. RV/camping are both good options. ❤️ In Guazhou, there is more to eat than just melons. The two giant sculptures, Son of the Earth and Boundless, will give you a very Northwest feel. 🚘【About transportation suggestions in the Northwest】 ⚠️ Self-driving: If you have no experience in self-driving in the Northwest, it is better not to drive in the Northwest. There is no navigation in the Northwest; For example: in an uninhabited area like Eboliang, if you get lost, it will be very troublesome 👍 The locals recommend that everyone choose the travel method: BAO car/share🚘 This is a way to travel by car if you don’t want to drive yourself If you are traveling with 1-2 people, you can consider sharing🚘; everyone shares the car💰, which will save a lot . ✅【Suggestions for playing in the Northwest】 1. Be careful of the black holes under your feet in various salt lakes in the Northwest; 2. In the area of ​​Yadan landform, don’t leave the road too far, it will be troublesome if you get lost; 3. If you bring a SLR camera to Mingsha Mountain, wrap the body with plastic wrap in advance, the sand is very fine and can penetrate every hole

Brief Introduction of the Scenic Area Zhalonggou Scenic Area is located within the jurisdiction of Haidong Prefecture, Qinghai Province. Zhalonggou Scenic Area is famous for its unique scenery. Here, the mountains are greener, the forests are more secluded, the pines are verdant, the azaleas are blooming, and the streams are gurgling. It is a good place to explore. Going upstream, a 2000-meter-long mountain path winds through the forest, leading directly to the Yaoshuiquan Waterfall. Along the way, there are clear pools of water, winding paths, and lifelike mountain formations. The perfect combination of nature's craftsmanship and human creativity will make you feel relaxed and inspired. Zhalong is like a huge deer antler, with ravines and dense forests, and beautiful scenery. The black Zhaqu Highway winds south and east along the Zhalong River, leading directly to the valley. Looking far away from the high place, it looks like two intertwined snakes, black and white, winding between the high gorges. The green trees are shaded, the small bridges and flowing water, and the Tibetan courtyards with hanging prayer flags are embedded in it, giving people a sense of beauty that is not like Jiangnan but better than Jiangnan. The scenery in spring, summer, autumn, and winter is different, but each has its own charm. When the late spring on the plateau kisses Zhalong, the mountain is already full of spring, the green sea is rippling, and it is the late spring season with pleasant scenery, while the mountain is still retaining the freshness of early spring. The small azaleas that have been tormented by the severe winter stretch out their green leaves, and the branches are full of dense purple azalea flowers, which are so heavy that they bend the branches. Among the small azalea bushes, there are large azaleas one by one, with twisted roots and branches connected, leaves communicating, and branches full of bowl-sized flowers, white as snow, pink as red, and purple as black. The mountains and fields have become a sea of flowers, which is extremely beautiful like a fairyland. If you don't come to this scene, you will mistake it for the masterpiece of the oil painting master's emotional brushwork and heavy color. The breeze blows over the mountains and waves of flowers, and a wisp of fragrance overflows from the valleys and peaks of the sea of flowers, permeating the entire mountain and blending with the floating air and the sky, deeply penetrating into the depths of the mountains, even the water just out of the spring also emits a fresh fragrance. Main Attractions Yaoshuiquan Waterfall In the depths of Zhalonggou, under the towering Shen Nu Peak, there is a waterfall formed by a curtain of spring water. On the green carpet-like slope, the spring water falls down, splashing pearls and jade, and the scenery is very spectacular. There is a poem in praise: Water floods the moss and spreads the green carpet Trees hide the stone forest and surround the white mist The scenery is quiet and fantastic like a fairyland Legend has it that there was a Tibetan god doctor who, after a lot of hardships, discovered that this water could cure diseases and had a magical effect. After tasting 108 spring waters, he erected a stone tablet next to each spring water. The stone tablet wrote that this spring water could cure the disease, and the local people drank the spring water to cure the disease according to what was engraved on the stone tablet. After the god doctor left the world, a quack doctor came to Zhalonggou, wanted to buy medicine to make money, but no one came to him for medical treatment and asked for medicine. When he learned that people went to drink spring water to cure diseases, he was furious and went into the mountain to smash 107 stone tablets. Only one stone tablet for treating stomach diseases is preserved to this day. Yaoshuiquan is natural mineral water. The free CO2 content in the spring water is very high, and it also contains trace elements such as sodium, magnesium, calcium, iron, magnesium, and manganese. Drinking this water regularly can treat gastrointestinal diseases, and regular bathing can prevent and treat various types of arthritis and skin diseases. If it is treated with Chinese herbal medicine, the effect will be better. 2.

Legend has it that there is a hole on the top of the pillar, and there is a Feng Shui treasure book in the hole. On the cliff opposite the Pillar of Heaven across the Datong River, there is a natural scripture stone that is uneven and looks like Tibetan text. The locals call it the "Repentance Scripture Stone".

Baima Temple, a lot of temples of the same name in the country, the most famous of which belongs to Luoyang Baima Temple. However, this Baima Temple in Xining City of Qinghai is little known. It was built at the end of the 10th century AD and is located on a steep cliff on the bank of the Lishui River in the eastern mountainous area of Qinghai Province. The distance is like a hanging temple. The temple consists of Jingtang, King Kong Buddha statues, pagodas and shacks, but the scale is not large, but it has the historical significance of the post-history of Tibetan Buddhism.

Because I slept very early the day before, the rest is better, plus I have to go to the forest park that I did not go yesterday, so as not to leave regrets. Just opened in the scenic spot, we set off. But we are a fan of two. The forest park in the morning was a cold, it was right, it was not cool, it was very cold. At that time, the scenic area also arranged for us to have a closed car. We felt that we were a shooting team and had to take photos, so we needed a convertible. Just crying on the bus, and clenching his teeth to the first attraction. I was fascinated by this grove. I turned and found that everyone was holding the quilt. It turned out to be the uncle who opened the battery car, and borrowed from the owner of the privately contracted amusement project here. Actually, I am wearing a down jacket, a jacket, and a 30-inch big box, but the expectations of the scenic area are not so cold, so I just wear a sunscreen jacket. Good here makes me feel that although it is frozen, it is worth it. There is no such thing as a heart. The morning sun, through the valley, shines especially quietly into the woods.
