Tickets include sightseeing cars, but the place where the animals are raised has a strong animal taste. The scenery is very good, the ink Danxia is very image, the best viewing point is the most beautiful. Other locations look similar, good.
It's really worth it if you haven't seen the Danxia landform! Jingjiao car and scenic spot tickets are all included in the price, which is very cost-effective. The subway station pick-up and drop-off, the traffic is very convenient, about 40 minutes by car, not far away. The reserved play time is completely enough. It is recommended to take the big ring line, not go back, and you can see the whole scenery. We will take the big ring line and come out just to the scheduled return time. If you are not physically able, you can upgrade the VIP. There is a special car transfer. Experience the small train and camel pull car. It is very expensive. It is good to see if you need it. It is also good to play without upgrading. The scenery is really beautiful, it is worth seeing!

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

Some of the safari parks in the northwest were rescued. As southerners, many of them were only seen on TV. This trip to Xining came to open their eyes. The 30 yuan ticket was great value. We walked for more than 2 hours. And the park guide map was cleared and analyzed, it was worth an hour!
The zoo built on the mountain is not big, you can take a sightseeing car, and you are not tired all the way around the mountain. Snow leopard rabbits and plateau cats are very cute. The sightseeing car service is very good and worth a visit.

Mofu Cave: A place for Tibetan Buddhists to pray for blessings. The cave is full of prayer flags. After climbing to the top of the steep slope, you can overlook the panoramic view of the scenic area. It is suitable for tourists with good physical strength.
• Primeval forest: The scenic area is covered with primeval forests such as fir and spruce. Walking on the wooden plank road, you can see towering ancient trees and occasionally encounter small animals such as squirrels, which is full of natural wildness.
A very worthwhile scenic spot. Compared with the crowded Jiuzhaigou, this niche scenic spot is beautiful and less crowded. It is a combination of Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong. Hiking in the scenic spot is like being in a fairyland. I will come again if I have the chance.

The scenery is beautiful: 6-8 In the flowering period of the month, the wild flowers on the lakeside are in full bloom, colorful, and the blue lake water, blue sky and white clouds are against each other, like a fairy tale world. The clear lake water is like a mirror, reflecting the sky and surrounding scenery, and the water birds skim across the lake, forming a picturesque scenery. - Ecological rich: as a plateau wetland, it is a large number of rare animal and plant habitats, and you can see black-necked cranes, spotted fins and other birds, as well as small animals such as groundhogs, so that tourists can feel the harmony between people and nature. - Unique experience: The 5-kilometer wooden plank road in the scenic area penetrates into the wetland, and strolls on it as if it is "walking through the clouds". In addition, you can learn to squeeze milk with herdsmen, drink butter tea, and enjoy the "burning clouds" in the evening to experience uniqueness. - The weather is greatly affected: the plateau weather is changeable, often rainy or cloudy, the lake view is greatly reduced when the dark clouds are shrouded, and the blue sky and white clouds are not visible, affecting the play experience and photo effect. - Insufficient service facilities: there are few dining spots in the scenic area, no restaurants, tourists need to bring their own dry food and water. Some facilities are aging or imperfect, such as wooden plank road canopy rain protection effect is poor. - Management needs to be strengthened: there are unreasonable sightseeing car scheduling and long waiting time during the peak tourist season, unreasonable exit setting of the scenic spot, guiding tourists to take a long "commercial street", but there are few shops and the experience is not good.
The lake is pure and indescribable blue; the wild flowers on the shore of the flower lake are colorful; the flower lake is the hometown of black-necked cranes, see one, and you can see many migratory birds such as big swans, spotted swans, red-headed ducks, gray scorpions, brown-headed scorpions.

Just by the four words "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau", it has irreplaceable uniqueness, attracting people to explore the magic of the plateau, so after being closed on the first day, we have to come again the next day, which is also the last stop of this trip to Xining. 24 exhibition halls of landform models/topography science/animal and plant specimens/Sanjiangyuan water samples, every step in the natural science popularization experience a sense of substitution, the spirituality of all things on the third pole of the roof of the world is majestic and magnificent.
No matter how smart and rare the Helena Morpho Butterfly is, or how full and sacred the Rhodiola rosea is, it is not as persistent and vivid as the exploration of Sanjiangyuan, and the scientific expedition to Mount Everest is so great and magnificent. The last two displays are particularly interesting
The museum is very large, rich in content, eye-opening, restoring the true history, popularizing humanities and geography, and improving the pattern! I admire the beautiful mountains and rivers of the motherland and the hard work and friendship of people of all ethnic groups. I like the beautiful mountains and rivers of the motherland!

Ningxia Zhongwei must come to Shapotou 🏜️ I finally saw it. I skied 3 times on Dashapo, 2 cable cars 🚡 1 sheepskin dumpling tour of the Yellow River singing folk songs, 1 speedboat 🚤 1 ladder, the family said that the wife is fun~ The history of camel color 11🐫 sandboarding cable car staff are very enthusiastic, 98 99 100 sheepskin dumplings Master is very good
Advantages: The scenic spot is very large, the scenery is beautiful, the fare is very worth it, you can see the Yellow River, sand slope, desert, there are many projects in the desert, and there are free sandboards. You can go to the scenic spot by bus. The staff waited for a while when they came out late. Disadvantages: the transfer car is charged separately, But the price of a short road is the same as my ticket, and the elevator is not open in the off-season.

- Rich variety of animals: currently exhibiting more than 210 rare animals around the world, more than 3,000, covering representative animals on all continents, as well as four giant pandas "Hongyan", "Manlan", "home treasure" and "full" from the China Giant Panda Conservation Research Center. - The park plan is reasonable: it covers an area of 5,358 mu, consisting of the entrance area, walking tour area, car tour area and logistics service area. The ecological sightseeing belt divides the entire park into two circular tour routes, pedestrian and car dealerships, and also sets up 5 functional partitions. -Excellent ecological environment: pay attention to the creation of animal living environments, simulate different ecological environments, and make animal living spaces closer to nature, such as African tribal areas and American rainforest areas. - Strong science education function: actively carry out science education activities, with science popularization hall, giant panda hall science popularization display facilities, etc., through "science popularization into campus", weekend parent-child activities, multi-themed research courses and other forms to teach tourists zoology, ecology and other knowledge. - Complete supporting facilities: there is a fairy tale castle playground area, more than ten parent-child amusement equipment, as well as restaurants, shops and other commercial facilities, the dining area provides a variety of cuisines, which can meet the diversified needs of tourists.
Non-holiday visits, not many tourists. Free small trains run every half an hour, first circle the car tour route, self-driving can buy tickets, halfway with sheep and deer cute animals. After the car tour, continue to visit the pedestrian area. The 30 yuan sightseeing car, such as the foot is still recommended not to sit, and the slow tour is more fun. There is a sea lion show in the two climbing halls, four a day. The staff in the park are not enthusiastic, the food location is not good, the food preparation is not enough, and there is a slight lack of regret. In addition, the park is slightly far from the city, and the traffic is not convenient. It is suitable for self-driving.

- Excellent location: Located at No. 303 Jianxi East Road, Qilihe District, Lanzhou City, it is the only marine polar theme park in Lanzhou. The transportation is convenient. There are direct subways around and parking is more convenient. - The venue layout is reasonable: there are 7 exhibitions and functional areas in the museum, including the Amazon rainforest area, the dream jellyfish area, the deep-sea treasure exploration area, the ice age area, etc., each area has unique themes and characteristic creatures. - Rich in marine life: It has a variety of marine and polar animals, such as penguins, arctic foxes, beluga whales, nurse sharks, golden fins, etc., as well as rare freshwater fish and amphibians such as colorful fairy fish, salmon, transparent frogs, etc., with a rich variety. - Strong science education function: There is an interactive exhibition area, professional interpreters will use models, specimens, etc. to tell children about the life habits of marine life, the living environment and the importance of marine protection in depth, and teach them fun. - Performance is wonderful and interesting: there are special programs such as dolphin performances, sea lion shows, mermaid performances, and animals make various difficult actions under the command of the trainer, and the performance is wonderful and loved by children.
Although Lanzhou Polar Ocean World is not as large as similar venues in first-tier cities, as a rare marine theme park in the northwest, the overall experience exceeds expectations. The polar animal display area such as penguins, beluga whales and other polar animals in the museum is compactly designed. Although the undersea tunnel is short but colorful, the lighting effects of the jellyfish hall are very dreamy. The dolphin performance on weekends is very interesting and suitable for parent-child interaction. Some exhibition cylinders have reflective problems, and the passenger flow is dense and slightly noisy in the afternoon. It is recommended to avoid the peak of the holiday and reserve 2 hours of tour time. The price/performance ratio is a medium-to-upper level in local leisure projects, which is a good place to escape the heat in the hot summer.
