Tianshui Spicy Hot Pot Trip ∣ Tianshui Ancient City! It's so big, I got a bit confused while wandering around
👍 Most Recommended: How can you miss Tianshui Ancient City when visiting Tianshui! Maybe it's because I don't have a strong sense of direction, but I wandered around in a daze. Fortunately, I was traveling alone, so I could go wherever I wanted. I followed my instincts and wandered through the streets and alleys. When I got tired, I took a break, and when I got thirsty, I had some sweet fermented milk tea. There was food everywhere, so I didn't go hungry. Finally, I got a bit of a sense of direction! Let me organize it for everyone!
❤ Recommended Reason: Tianshui Ancient City, also known as Tianshui Xiguan Ancient City, is one of the largest and best-preserved ancient residential complexes from the Ming and Qing dynasties in the western region. The area contains numerous architectural relics from the Ming and Qing dynasties, including 55 cultural preservation courtyards. The ancient city, with its 'One Street, Ten Alleys' and 'Three Squares, Eight Courtyards,' is a cultural living space with a strong Qin dynasty atmosphere. It's quite interesting to stroll through it.
⛱️ Must-Visit Attractions:
🚩 1. 'One Street, Ten Alleys' and 'Three Squares, Eight Courtyards' - a comprehensive area for eating, living, shopping, entertainment, and sightseeing. The ancient alleys of the city are like a meticulously designed maze, with various types of shops, some with an ancient charm and others with modern creativity, full of surprises and unexpected delights. You can also see several performances while wandering around, making it very lively.
🚩 2. Qihan Tower, City Wall Ruins, Sanxin Alley Square, Tianshui Celebrity Corridor, Rong's Fuxin Tianshui Office, Han General's Mansion, etc., are all worth a visit.
🚩 3. The night view is beautiful. Wandering around Tianshui Ancient City at night is an absolutely full experience.
🚩 4. Tianshui 'Little Potala Palace,' a cluster of red and white houses built on the northern hillside. You can see it from the road between the west gate of the ancient city and the east gate of Fuxi City. It has a 'Little Potala Palace' style from a distance, and it's even more charming when the lights are on at night.
🚩 5. You can visit Tianshui Ancient City and Fuxi Temple on the same day, as they are separated by just one street.
🚩 6. The Qinzou Grand Theater has a dance drama 'One Stroke Opens the Sky' worth watching.

🍜 Food Guide:
1. Siheyuan Spicy Hot Pot (Haiying, Eden, Yuannv, etc.), too many people! I personally recommend a place called Yuanjie Spicy Hot Pot (near the east gate of Fuxi City), the important thing is that you don't have to queue, and the taste is good!
2. Yusheng Alley Morning Market has guagua, ranran, noodles, apricot tea, lard box, and Tianshui Eight Bowls, sour soup noodles, and of course, don't forget to have a cup of sweet fermented milk tea! Radish juice is also good!
