Gansu, how many more hidden gems do you have?

I thought Gansu was a barren land, but after a road trip to Linxia, I found it was not what I imagined. What is on the mountain? There is soil, layer upon layer. It is in stark contrast to the mountains in the south. There are mountains, water, and scenery here. Stop 1️⃣ Linxia World Geopark Museum Dedicated to popular science education, promoting the construction of geoparks, protecting geological relics, and passing on traditions. Here you can learn about the local rock geology distribution, biodiversity, riverbed formation, cultural resources, natural ecology, and flora and fauna resources. Stop 2️⃣ Bafang Thirteen Alleys Known as the Mecca of China, it is home to simple folk life, mature carving skills, unique cultural architecture, and mosques everywhere. Stop 3️⃣ Liujiaxia Bridge Standing here, I feel like this is not Gansu. Here, mountains and rivers meet, and the scenery blends. Stop 4️⃣ Dongxiang Benzigou Viewing Platform Overlooking Liujiaxia Bridge and Dam, ships sail on the blue water, creating ripples. The combination of nature's craftsmanship and human wisdom forms a beautiful picture. Stop 5️⃣ Huangtao Confluence Viewing Platform The confluence of the Yellow River and Tao River. The Yellow River turns from clear to turbid here, becoming the Yellow River we know. Unfortunately, the Bingling Temple Grottoes are currently under restoration and are closed. It is worth a visit, but this gives me a good reason to come back next time.
