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 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.

✨ **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!
🌿 **Tips**: Wear bright-colored coats to get more photos. Come to the "Little Switzerland of Qilian Mountain" during the wildflower season in July!
📍Location: Binggou River Scenic Area, Wuwei, Gansu

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.

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
Travel experience: Xinglong Mountain is not only a green barrier for the survival of the people in the central and southern Gansu region and the Yuanchuan River Basin, but also a rare tourist summer resort in the northwest of the motherland. Visitors can experience a pure natural experience here. The north and south mountains are lush and the climate in the mountains is a bit unstable, but the overall experience is very good. Xinglong Mountain Scenic Area is divided into Dongshan and Xishan, each with tickets. The scenery is the best when the leaves are yellow in autumn, and the trees are green 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.
If you drive a UTV through the desert, you can see deeper sand dunes. If you are lucky, you may encounter small animals in the desert. There will also be a special leader to take us out. It may be a professional route. You will see flags along the way. This is pretty good and you won’t be afraid of getting lost.
