The scenic area is filled with overlapping mountains, crisscrossing valleys, green mountains and clear waters, bizarre peaks and rocks, splashing waterfalls, meadows and snow mountains, lakes and rapids, and ancient trees reaching for the sky. The colors change endlessly with the seasons: in spring, wildflowers bloom and vie for beauty; in summer, the green shade shields from the sun, leaving no trace of the heat; autumn brings red maple leaves that dye the layered forests; and winter covers the ground with white snow, with ice flowers and jade trees, icicles, and ice hangings that are crystal clear, forming exquisite works of art. The emerald valleys, colorful forests, and sacred mountains together adorn a spiritually rich 'Qiang-style paradise'—Dangchang Guanegou National Forest Park.

If you want to say the first impression of Gansu, how would you answer? Is the endless Gobi and the desert? Or is it the deep depression and desolateness in the yellow sand? No, you are wrong.

The beauty of Longnan is intoxicating!

Bikou ancient town was built along the Bailong River, and by the end of the Ming Dynasty at the latest, Bikou began to gather as a town. The ancestors of the townspeople migrated here from Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Huguang, and after a period of development, Bikou became an important ancient port. Their goal was of course the timber and medicinal materials deep in the mountains, and the Bailong River was a natural transportation channel. Bikou became the final destination for these entrepreneurs and their descendants.

"The forest is full of dyes," this is the first word that comes out of the West, and comes out of my mind. The feeling of autumn is beginning here. I have always thought that Gansu is a land of desolate and ridiculous, so that the mountains and rivers and trees are in harmony with each other, and it is also so gentle and tender. As a national 4A-level tourist scenic spot, the footprints of the Guxi narrow plank road in the West Narrow Scenic Area still exist. Li Ke-dy's "Western Narrow" is one of the three best-selling Chinese calligraphy, and is the best preserved treasure in the ancient cliff stone carvings. .

The mountains are clear and the trees are shaded. This is my first impression of the Yangba Natural Scenic Area. The Yangba Eco-tourism Scenic Area is located in the southeast of Kang County, Gansu Province. The forest coverage rate is over 70%, ranking first in Gansu Province. Most of the scenic area is the original ecological forest. It has not been artificially carved. Its unique ecological resources, beautiful human landscape and rich green mountain products have made Yangba a veritable Shangshang Jiangnan. "Where, I can fully understand that there is no mountain, no water, no water, no climate. The climate here is humid, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the scenery is rugged." It is a bright pearl on the south of the Yangtze River, known as "Gansu Xishuangbanna" and "the world famous tea town". Yangba is also known as the Natural Oxygen Bar, which occupies two-thirds of the area's ancient virgin forest, Yangba Tea Garden scenery, magical and beautiful Meiyuangou and other attractions hidden in the valley. The waterfall is really refreshing.
