[Gansu Longnan] Fewer people than Jiuzhaigou! The epic hidden secret of "Long Shang Jiangnan"

🌟🔥 "Deep in the Qinling Mountains where Li Bai wrote 'The Difficulty of the Shu Road,' lies a living 'Long Shang History Book' 📜—the Three Kingdoms ancient road, Tibetan watchtowers, Qiang ethnic Nuo dance... Every inch of this land is engraved with the code of Chinese civilization!" Follow the local cultural guide to unlock epic experiences missed by 90% of tourists! 📍 In-depth cultural itinerary (3 days 2 nights) Day 1: Guan'egou · Living fossil of Tibetan-Qiang civilization ✅ Morning: Guan'egou Canyon (Ticket 130 RMB) [Lu Ren Tibetan Village] 📌 Cultural hardcore: This thousand-year-old cliffside Tibetan village was a military fortress during the Tibetan Empire's eastern expedition! The existing Ming Dynasty pentagonal watchtowers feature "tiger head" totem paintings on the outer walls symbolizing the Tibetan warrior spirit. Elders inside still chant in ancient Tibetan, with experiences including: 🔥 Tibetan scripture flag rubbing (30 RMB, using pine soot ink to rub Tibetan scriptures) 🔥 Barley wine brewing (learn ancient fermentation from Tibetan mothers) [Guan'e Waterfall] 📌 Geological wonder: The glacial striation rock wall below the waterfall is evidence of Quaternary glaciation from 3 million years ago, with embedded ancient marine fossils (viewable with a magnifying glass!) ✅ Noon: Tibetan family feast 🍜 Must-try cultural dishes: Fiddlehead fern rice (Tibetan noble food, steamed with snow mountain fiddlehead fern + butter) Yak bone soup (deodorized with Qiang medicine "Rhodiola," blood and oxygen boosting) ✅ Afternoon: Hadapu Long March Memorial Hall (Free) 📌 Red memory: In 1935, Mao Zedong formulated the "Go to Shaanbei" strategy here. The "Yihechang" pharmacy inside still preserves the original medicine cabinet (hidden compartment once held a radio). On Tuesday and Thursday mornings, descendants of old Red Army soldiers share true stories of "a bowl of cured meat for intelligence." Day 2: Xixiang Ode · Eastern Han Calligraphy Sanctuary ✅ All day: Xixiang Ode Scenic Area (Ticket 60 RMB) [Cliff Inscriptions] 📌 Calligraphy peak: The "Hui'an Xibiao" carved in the 4th year of Jianning in the Eastern Han (171 AD) features clerical script strokes like "iron paintings and silver hooks," ranking first among the "Three Han Clerical Inscriptions" (the other two are in Shaanxi). The original cliff is protected by anti-oxidation glass but the Qing Dynasty replica stele can be touched. [Mystery of the Plank Road] How did ancient people carve plank roads on sheer cliffs? The answer is in the "fire burning and water shocking" technique display area (first burn the rock with fire, then pour cold water to crack it). ✅ Overnight: Longnan Academy (120 RMB per person) 📌 Living culture: The largest private school in Northwest China during the Qing Dynasty. Tonight, sleep in the imperial examination study room! Experience: 🔥 Night rubbing of Han bamboo slips (using Eastern Han techniques to rub the "Yi Li" bamboo slips) 🔥 Morning reading of "Xixiang Ode" (wear Hanfu and recite under century-old ginkgo trees) Day 3: Yinping Ancient Road · Ultimate Three Kingdoms Battlefield ✅ Morning: Tielou Township, Wen County (Free) [Baima Tibetan "Chigezhu"] 📌 Intangible cultural heritage shock: This Tibetan branch preserves pre-Qin Nuo dance. Dancers wear wooden masks performing the "Twelve Phase Dance." The "protruding eyes" mask design shares origins with Sanxingdui! Every lunar January 17, the whole village dances an exorcism until the masks drip "blood and sweat" (actually red pine resin). [Ancient Qiang Watchtowers] Built by Ming Dynasty Qiang border soldiers, stone walls are 1.2 meters thick (to defend against Tibetan arrows). The top-level "arrow slits" can still operate ancient crossbow demonstrations. ✅ Afternoon: Yangba, Kang County (Ticket 60 RMB) [Ancient Tea Horse Road Ruins] Site of the Qing Dynasty "Jiezhou Tea Horse Office," the remaining hoofprint stele records the trade rule "one jin of tea for one horse." Experience: 🔥 Song Dynasty "Dragon Tuan" tea making (steamed green tea → stone mill pressed cakes) 🔥 Horse caravan copper bell making (intangible cultural heritage craftsmen teach you to carve the "tea" inscription) 💡 Cultural player exclusive tips 1️⃣ Deep experience reservations: Lu Ren Tibetan Village Tibetan ancient language class (50 RMB/hour, book 3 days in advance) Xixiang Ode Eastern Han clerical script scripture rubbing (using pine soot ink + bamboo slips, 100 RMB/piece) 2️⃣ Secret hidden gems: Ask the homestay owner about the "Hanging Coffin Cave" (Qiang mystery, requires guide) Wen County "Anti-epidemic Festival" (lunar May 5, watch shamans use buckwheat to drive away plague) 3️⃣ Pitfall guide: Don’t buy "antiques" in scenic spots; real artifacts are in Longnan City Museum (free) Filming Nuo dance requires giving the village "toast money" (starting at 20 RMB, otherwise considered disrespect) 📸 "In Longnan, I felt the breath of Eastern Han clerical script! Every stroke of Xixiang Ode is the lifeblood of civilization 💉" "More thrilling than 'Ghost Blows Out the Light'! Exploring Hanging Coffin Cave with Tibetan descendants, legs weak but worth it..." "Sanxingdui-style 'protruding eyes' mask! This Tibetan branch hides ancient Chinese civilization codes 🔐" 💬 👉 If you could time travel to Longnan, what would you want to be? (Vote: A. Tibetan warrior B. Eastern Han scribe C. Qiang shaman) 👉 What other lesser-known ancient roads do you know? One person will win a framed rubbing of "Xixiang Ode" 🎁 🌟 Follow me and measure 5,000 years with your footsteps!
