A hidden gem in Gansu, a sapphire embedded in the Loess Plateau.

Don't think Gansu is only about the Loess Plateau and the barren Gobi Desert. - Gansu also has autumn colors that rival those of western Sichuan. - For example, Wenxian Tianchi in Longnan. - Wenxian Tianchi is a picturesque place with colorful scenery. Under the blue sky, Tianchi looks like a huge sapphire embedded in the mountains. The maple leaves are like fire, swaying in the wind, and the ginkgo trees are dotted among them. The lake and the mountains complement each other, creating a stunning view. - Wenxian Tianchi is a scenic area composed of Yangtang Tianchi, Bonsai Pool, Yinma Pool, and Huanglinggou. Among them, Yangtang Tianchi is one of the four major Tianchi in China. - Tianchi has different scenery in each season: tranquil in spring, verdant in summer, colorful in autumn, and pure in winter. - Therefore, the autumn of Tianchi is worth a visit. - 🎈Nearby Attractions🎈 ✅Caoheba Village, Tielou Tibetan Township ✅Bikou Ancient Town ✅Xihe Wanxia Lake Scenic Area ✅Wudu Wanxiang Cave Scenic Area ✅Wenxian Baima River Ecological Folk Custom Scenic Area - 🚗Transportation (Wudu to Tianchi) - ✅Self-driving (navigation) ✅Bus (about 30) ✅Longnan Station (taxi) → Wudu East Bus Station (bus) → Tianchi Scenic Area Ticket Office ✅Chartered car (about 250) ✅Carpool (40) - 💰Ticket Information ✅Ticket 30 ✅Sightseeing bus 20 - 🍵Dining Recommendations ✅Farmhouse in the scenic area (local wild vegetables), moderate price ✅Snack stalls in the scenic area ✅You can bring your own food (in case you don't like the local food) - 🏠Accommodation Recommendations ✅Accommodation in the scenic area ✅Hotels in villages and towns along the way ✅Return to the city to stay in a hotel
