Stop calling it the "Little Switzerland of Gansu"—this is Wuwei's Binggou River!

Where Tibetan charm meets snowy wilderness, Tianzhu hides countless surprises in this underrated gem! 🏔️ 【Must-Visit Attractions】 1. **Qilian Mountain Binggou River Scenic Area** 📍Address: Qilian Town, Tianzhu Tibetan Autonomous County Witness the perfect blend of ancient glaciers, primeval forests, and alpine meadows. July-August is the best time to visit, with crystal-clear streams and chances to spot wildlife like blue sheep. 🐐 2. **Tiantang Temple** A sacred Tibetan Buddhist site with over 400 years of history, housing precious thangkas and scriptures. The prayer wheel corridor is perfect for photos. 📿 3. **Maya Snow Mountain** Locals revere it as the "Sacred Mountain." At 4,447m, its peak stays snow-capped even in summer, offering panoramic views of the Qilian Mountains (less active travelers can enjoy the vista from the observation deck). ⛰️ 4. **Tianzhu Little Three Gorges** Comprising Zhucha Gorge, Jinsha Gorge, and Xianming Gorge, this area boasts towering ancient trees and fiery autumn foliage. Don’t miss the boat ride through the gorges! 🚣 【Travel Tips】 √ Pack a jacket—even in July, temperatures drop at night. √ Attractions are far apart; consider hiring a private car. √ Respect local Tibetan customs (e.g., walk clockwise around prayer wheels). √ Try Tibetan specialties: yak meat, butter tea, and barley bread. 【2-Day Itinerary】 **Day 1**: Depart Lanzhou → Tiantang Temple → Tianzhu Little Three Gorges → Stay in a Tibetan-style guesthouse. **Day 2**: Maya Snow Mountain viewpoint → Qilian Mountain Binggou River Scenic Area → Return to Lanzhou.
