The scenery is good, the project is rich, especially the sandboarding, the children do not want to go, the weather is hot these two days, everyone remember to do a good job of sun protection when you come!
Shapotou has become an iconic tourist attraction in Ningxia with its unique natural landscape, rich entertainment projects and ecological education significance. If you yearn for the desert and want to feel the weight of the Yellow River culture, Shapotou is worth listing for your trip.

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-grabbed lamb: Qinghai traditional food, choose yak or Tibetan sheep, boiled in water, fresh meat, not greasy, salt or pepper or garlic mud, with brick tea, taste great. • Brewing skin: yellow pasta skin thicker than cold skin, drizzled with chili oil, mustard sauce and other seasonings, hot and sour appetizer, is a popular snack, can be matched with sweet embryos. • Qinghai old yogurt: made with stewed milk, thick can stand the spoon, the surface has golden milk skin, sweet and sour, and honey tastes more abundant. Folk Culture • Tibetan Culture: Qinghai is one of the Tibetan settlements, with unique Tibetan Buddhist culture, such as religious rituals in Ta'er Temple, Tibetan transvestites, vicissitudes and other customs, as well as exquisite Tangka paintings, Tibetan blanket weaving and other traditional skills. • Turkish culture: The Turkish people have their own language, costumes, singing and dancing and traditional festivals, such as the Natton Festival, during which there are lively dance performances, horse racing and other activities. Clean energy industry landscape • Gonghe County PV Base: Hainan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture Gonghe County has one of the world's largest photovoltaic bases, large blue photovoltaic panels shine on the desert, form a spectacular industrial landscape, and also realize the ecological model of "electricity on the board, sheep under the board".

Because it rained that day, the ticket inspector at the gate saw that we were old and gave us raincoats and reminded us to be safe. Because we didn't take the cable car on rainy days, we went to Guan'egou again the next day. The ticket inspector communicated enthusiastically with the scenic area to satisfy our wish to go to the top of the mountain. We fully felt the hospitality and humanized service of the people of Gansu.
#Gannan scenery… ​Lush forests cover the mountain peaks, as if covering the earth with a green carpet, and clear streams flow, making people feel the beauty of nature. Buying tickets on Ctrip is convenient and fast.

I bought a double ticket for 238 yuan. When I went there, three or four projects were not open. I played all the projects that were open. I also watched the dolphin show in the aquarium. The aquarium was very rich and beautiful. Since it closed at 18:00, I didn't see the aquarium carefully, which was a bit regrettable. Water World was also open, which was included in the pass. I didn't go in because I didn't bring swimming trunks, but I didn't have time to play. Overall, it was worth it.
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.

✨ **Break into the ice and snow secret of Qilian Mountain! **✨ In the ice ditch river at an altitude of 3,000 meters, the glacier and the grassland collide in a fantasy fairyland 🗻 Snow Mountain is the curtain, the stream is like a silver chain through the tundra, and the end of the boardwalk is the valley of the horse orchid blooming. The yak strolled through the clouds, the drought and floods probed from the cave, every step like stepping on the cover of National Geographic! 📸 **Must punch in**: 1️⃣ **Lin Haitianchi**: The "tear lake" reflected by the snowy mountains, and the drone perspective was beautiful to suffocate! 2️⃣ **Nimeirah Grand Canyon**: Red Rock Canyon + Glacier Relics, Light and Shadow Paradise for Hikers. 3️⃣ **Chaerlonghaizi**: In the evening, the lake will change Tiffany blue with the light! 🌿 **Tips**: Wear a bright coat to make a film, and come to the wildflower season in July "Qilian Mountain Little Switzerland"! 📍 Positioning: Wuwei Binggou River Scenic Area #Northwest Minor Secret Land
Qilianshan Binggou River Scenic Area has convenient transportation, excellent self-driving road conditions and free parking. The snow-capped grassland and Tianchi Canyon have beautiful scenery, and you can make movies at will. Complete facilities, warm service, rich activities, and good play experience.

A very good scenic spot, the photo is very good on sunny days, the scenic spot is also organized in an orderly manner, and the frequency of shuttle bus connection is very efficient. It is worth mentioning that from the local population, the scenic spot will be flooded in the future because of the construction of water conservancy facilities, so it is very worth saving.
The photo is very filmed, with movie texture and local style. The wind is very strong, pay attention to windproof sand. There are more queues for more than 51 people. A small suggestion, there are too many times to transfer cars, every transfer means queueing, I hope to re-optimize the traffic

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.

Yuzhong County is a great place because it includes the Xinglong Mountain Scenic Area. Negative oxygen ions fill the scenic area, making it a well-deserved natural oxygen bar. Tourists also come here to appreciate the beauty of Xinglong. It's a great pleasure.
Travel experience: Xinglong Mountain is not only a green barrier for the survival of the people in the central and southern parts of Gansu and the Yuanchuan River Basin, but also a rare summer resort in the northwest of the motherland. Visitors can experience pure nature here. The vegetation in the north and south mountains is lush. The climate in the mountains is a bit unstable, but the overall experience is very good. Xinglong Mountain Scenic Area is divided into East Mountain and West Mountain, each with a ticket. The scenery is best when the leaves turn yellow in autumn, and the trees are lush in summer.

Qilian Mountain is really beautiful. Biandukou is very suitable for checking in and taking photos. The scenic area is not big, but the view is very wide. It is suitable for bringing children. You can walk to the viewing platform when you enter, and you can choose to ride a horse when you come out. It is very relaxing and not tiring at all.

It was so cool to experience staying in a tent, riding a camel and some other entertainment activities in the desert. The weather was pretty good these two days. You can enjoy the cool breeze and watch the sunset at night. It was super romantic. The service attitude of the staff was super good. Now it is the off-season, so tents are not expensive, and it is very cost-effective.
Self-driving through the utv desert, you can see the dunes in the deeper. If you are lucky, you may encounter small animals in the desert. There will also be a special team leader to take us out. It may be a professional route. You will see a good flag along the way. This is quite good. Not afraid to get lost.
