2025 Yongjing Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

I drifted to sleep while the old boat was pushing lazily against the current; after more than an hour I was surrounded by a magical forest of stone, surreal spires piercing the clouds, as if trying to scratch the blue of the sky. Was this a dream? I got off the boat and started walking deeper into the canyon, huge yellow walls on both sides, and a drowning forest in the midst of the gorge. After a few hundred meters I saw him, a giant Buddha; it looked like it was tired and decided to sit, leaning against one of the walls of the canyons. He must have been very tired because he has been sitting like this for a few hundred years. Bingling Si is located where the silty waters of the Yellow River meet the clear mirror of the Lujiaxia reservoir. You can take a slow or a fast boat from the Lujiaxia dam to reach it. It’s an ancient place with numerous displays of Buddhist art, including a giant Buddha statue. #historicplaces

Went to Yongjing, Gansu for 2 days. The main reason to go here is the Bingling Si (Bingling Temple) We took the boat across the reservoir to see the temple, but that was a mistake. I highly recommend skipping the boat transport and just hire a car to drive you there. The boat system is not good unless you have a large group/family. And the boat captain determines how much time you have at the temple. The temple had construction as of August 2020 so you are limited to what you can do and see there. I felt frustrated and disappointed as this was not told to us by anyone. If I would have known, I would have skipped this and chose to spend my time seeing something else. Yongjing is a nice small city. We walked around the old town and explored the area. We asked our hotel and taxi driver for the biggest and best shopping mall. They both recommended the same place. We wanted to go there because we assumed we could find a nice restaurant to try, but no. The “big” mall was mostly empty. the first floor had some shops open, but about 70% of the mall was empty or closed. We continued walking around the streets looking for a place to eat. The most popular restaurant according the dianping app, closes at 4:00pm. So we just tried some random Sichuan style restaurant and it was amazing! 👍🏼 After that, we dropped some stuff at our hotel and asked the hotel about any interesting areas or parks. The hotel lady recommended we cross the bridge and check out the massive flower park. Crossing the bridge we could see a lot of the area was flooded. The heavy rains have caused the river water to rise and it covered a lot of the land. However, we continued across and saw very large displays of flowers. Some of the flower areas were also flooded and roped off, but you can still see a lot of wonderful flower displays. #gansu #yongjing #lanzhou #xiahe #china #sichuan #buddha #temple #flowers #peaceful #binglingsi

Bingling Temple Grottoes are carved into the Danxia cliffs. When visiting the grottoes, you can see the red Danxia on both sides of the Yellow River.

Travel with Trip.com Season 16 - Gansu-Qinghai-Ningxia Road Trip (19) World Heritage Site - Bingling Temple Grottoes Haidong, Qinghai - Huangnan - Linxia, Gansu Sep 14, 2023 Sunny to cloudy, 8-30°C, max altitude 2,300m. Today we bid farewell to Qinghai after 8 days of sightseeing and return to Gansu. The Yellow River, the mother river of the Chinese nation, meanders eastward through the northwest. To attract tourists and develop tourism, many places have claimed to be the "First Bend of the Yellow River". The place we stayed last night, Hualong County, also claims to be the "First Bend". We took off and filmed a section of the river at a suitable location along the way (Pic 1). The Yellow River here is even clearer than what we saw in Guide the day before yesterday. The Yellow River flows slowly here, as smooth as a mirror (Pic 2). We set off for Bingling Temple in Linxia Prefecture. We drove on a winding road for nearly 25 km, which was quite tiring, but we saw some nice scenery (Pic 3). We arrived at Bingling Temple in the afternoon. Bingling Temple Grottoes (World Heritage Site, 5A) (Pic 4) is located in Yongjing County. It was first built in the first year of Jianhong in the Western Qin Dynasty (420 AD), with a history of more than 1,600 years. On the steep red sandstone cliffs, which are 2 km long from north to south, the grottoes and niches are lined up, and the statues are well preserved and lifelike (Pic 5, Cave 70, Eleven-faced Avalokitesvara with Eight Arms). Niche 171 is the third largest Maitreya Buddha statue in Gansu (Pic 6). The relief pagodas and esoteric murals of Bingling Temple are as famous as the Mogao Grottoes and Maijishan Grottoes. Compared with other famous grottoes, it has a bay of clear water (downstream of Liujiaxia Reservoir, which has been turbid due to rain in the past two days), which adds to its aura; it has a cluster of peaks, which makes it more beautiful (Pic 7). The "Sister Peaks" at the entrance are one of the main symbols of Bingling Temple (Pic 8). We left Bingling Temple and passed by Lijiaxia Reservoir, where China's first million-kilowatt hydropower station was built, known as the "Blue Yellow River" (Pic 9). We arrived at our destination in the evening, a beautiful small town - Yongjing County. Tomorrow we will head to Gannan.

Called "China's Cool Capital" by CCTV, its scenery is even more beautiful than Gannan! |||Gansu’s summer is not only fun in Dunhuang and Gannan. Linxia, ​​which was rated as the "Cool Capital of China" by CCTV, is located in the northwest, but the average temperature in summer is only 22°C. It is a small place to escape the high temperature! 👇👇 Linxia, ​​Gansu Located in the south-central part of Gansu Province, it is located in the transition zone between the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the Loess Plateau. It has a profound history and is known as the "Hehuang Hero Town". It has spectacular landforms and a long history of culture.

⛱️Must-see attractions: Bingling Temple Grottoes The Bingling Temple Grottoes were first built during the Sixteen Kingdoms period and continued to be built until the Tang Dynasty. The grottoes are located on a cliff face overlooking a small tributary of the Yellow River, and most of them are more than ten meters above the ground, so they have not been seriously damaged by theft. The construction of the Liujiaxia Reservoir has buried some of the caves underwater, but it has also raised the viewing platform to the best viewing point. "A mountain is famous if it has a fairy, and water is spiritual if it has a dragon." Here you will find the Yellow River Stone Forest and the Liujiaxia Reservoir, with both mountains and water, high mountains and deep water; here you will also find Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, sitting, standing, or lying, each in their own concentration; the Yellow River itself is a giant dragon, a hidden dragon in the abyss. It is a famous mountain and a beautiful water, with a lively spirit. After the tour, I am very happy! 🍜Food guide: Liu's Courtyard in Yongjing County, braised Yellow River carp. 🏨Accommodation guide: Gonghang Travel Yellow River Pearl Hotel 🚄Transportation guide: Self-drive 💗Other tips: The road from Yongjing County to Bingling Temple Grottoes is in good condition, with a winding mountain road that is fun to drive, and there are several mountain top viewing platforms along the way that are worth stopping to take a break and enjoy the view.

On the way from Huangtao Observation Deck to Bingling Temple, I came across a magnificent but deserted temple. I parked the car and took photos and entered the gate. I immediately saw an old lady and a young man coming from different directions. I instinctively thought that it was not open and came to drive me away, but when I came to the front, I was warmly welcomed to visit and took the initiative to explain. The main hall in the middle enshrines three Buddhas. The doors in the middle and the right are closed. Only the hall on the far left enshrines the founder of the Gelug Sect of Tibetan Buddhism, Tsongkhapa. The door is open. There are many cushions for believers to worship in front of the Buddha statue. The Buddha statue is solemn and dare not enter. The two pavilions on both sides of the main hall were suspended due to insufficient funds. The main structure was completed, and the corners and eaves looked very imposing. On the platform on the right side of the main hall, there is a glass-covered wooden wheel car with complicated decorations. The young man in the hall explained that when Princess Wencheng entered Tibet, she was stationed here. The car was built according to the style of the year. Later, when I checked the map, the current driving route from Xi'an to Xining does not pass through Linxia. Maybe the route nearly 1,500 years ago was slightly different!

The motherland is very big, and I have seen so many scenery, but I like this place only. The vastness of the Northwest makes me deeply love this land. It is the wind in Lanzhou, and the cry of Jincheng resounds across the Yellow River. I spent a day visiting here around Lanzhou. This is Yongjing, Linxia Hui Autonomous Prefecture, Gansu Province.

The Bingling Temple Grottoes were excavated in the early Western Jin Dynasty and were first called Tangshu Grottoes. In the Tang Dynasty, it was called Longxing Temple, in the Song Dynasty, it was called Lingyan Temple, and in the Ming Dynasty, it was called Bingling Temple. The first Yellow River Grottoes on the Silk Road is a world cultural heritage. There are 183 cave niches in existence, and the artistic styles of different historical periods are known as the "Encyclopedia of Chinese Grottoes". It is really a treasure place.

Gongbei, a sacred place where Muslims venerate the tombs of their ancestors, is also a spiritual sanctuary in their hearts. The Gongbei complex in Linxia Hui Autonomous Prefecture was first built during the Ming and Qing dynasties and consists mainly of five Gongbeis: Da Gongbei, Guo Gongbei, Da Taiye Gongbei, Taizi Gongbei, and Gujia Gongbei. This Gongbei complex brings together various architectural arts such as flying eaves, carved beams, painted rafters, and Hezhou brick carvings, perfectly blending Central Plains culture with Hui culture to form a unique artistic style. The exquisite architecture and superb craftsmanship are truly breathtaking. In addition to its profound religious and cultural value, which is worth savoring, this place also holds extremely precious cultural heritage—Hezhou brick carvings. Hezhou brick carvings ingeniously combine carving and hollowing techniques, resulting in intricate and highly three-dimensional works. Due to the Muslim doctrine of not worshipping idols, the themes of the brick carvings often feature pine cranes, cypress trees, and other motifs symbolizing good fortune, longevity, and purity. However, it is worth noting that because Gongbei holds an extremely sacred status in the hearts of the locals, it is usually marked as off-limits to tourists. Nevertheless, when enthusiastic Hui people see tourists looking from outside, they often kindly invite them in. Once inside, it is important to remember not to photograph the interior of the halls and to avoid loud noises, maintaining a quiet and low profile to prevent inappropriate disturbances to this holy place. Here, we can not only experience the unique and solemn religious atmosphere of the Gongbei complex but also appreciate the exquisite artistry of Hezhou brick carvings, as if traveling through time into the splendid hall of Hui culture and art, leaving one deeply enchanted and awestruck. It is not only a treasure of the Linxia region but also a vivid testament to the harmonious coexistence of diverse cultures within the Chinese nation.

In Yongjing County, Gansu Province, there is a magical viewing platform 4 kilometers from the urban area. Driving there or taking a taxi from the urban area costs about 20 yuan. The 3-kilometer winding mountain road has steep slopes, so drive carefully and pay attention to oncoming traffic. 📸 Yongjing County, Gansu Province, Liujiaxia ~ The Yellow River and Tao River converge here. The magical 'Yuan Yang Pot' of nature ☑️ I always thought the yellow one was the Yellow River and the green one was the Tao River, but the truth is that the green, rippling water is the Yellow River, while the yellow, muddy water from the Loess Plateau is the Tao River 😂 🌈 Scenic Features: The magic of nature, watching the Yellow River and Tao River converge here with 'distinct boundaries' where the rippling green water of the Yellow River turns yellow from this point on 😄 🎟️ Ticket Information: Parking fee 🅿️ 10 yuan, ticket 10 yuan (includes shoe covers) 🕐️ Scenic Area Opening Hours: 9:00—18:00, ticket sales stop at 17:30 💗 Other Tips: Near the Liujiaxia Dam in Yongjing County, the Yellow River and Tao River converge in a 'Y' shape in front of Longhui Mountain. They lightly collide, one clear and one turbid, one blue and one yellow, forming a 'distinct boundary' line, which is the famous 'Yellow and Tao River Confluence' wonder. 'Yellow River comes from the west, breaking through Kunlun,' the Yellow River described by Li Bai, with its turbulent muddy waves carrying silt from the heavens, is how many people understand the Yellow River. But in reality, the yellow one on the left is the Tao River, and the blue one on the right is the Yellow River. The Yellow River flows down from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, with high vegetation coverage in the upper reaches, resulting in relatively weak soil erosion. In this water area, the Yellow River is calm and clear blue. When it flows through the Loess Plateau, the Yellow River carries a large amount of silt, becoming turbid and turbulent, showing different colors from the upper reaches. The Tao River is an important tributary of the Yellow River system, flowing through counties such as Luqu, Lintan, Zhuoni, Minxian, and Lintao in Gansu Province. The Tao River flows through the western edge of the Loess Plateau, carrying a large amount of silt, so when the Tao River converges with the Yellow River, the magical scene of 'Yellow River clear, Tao River yellow' appears.

Liujiaxia Reservoir is located on the upper reaches of the Yellow River, about 1 kilometer southwest of Yongjing County in Linxia. The area features a mix of gorges and plains. The river flows through deep gorges with towering cliffs, creating a spectacular scene reminiscent of thousands of galloping horses. The most famous spot here is Liujiaxia. The Yellow River makes a sharp 90-degree turn at this point before flowing westward through the gorge. Visitors can take a boat upstream to tour Liujiaxia. The river water is clear, and the waves splash energetically. As you enter the gorge, you'll see towering peaks on both sides, with sheer cliffs creating a constantly changing landscape that rivals the scenery of Guilin and the Wu Gorge of the Yangtze River. After exiting the gorge, you'll be greeted by a highland lake with rippling waters, set against a backdrop of blue skies and white clouds, offering a unique blend of lake and mountain scenery. Liujiaxia Reservoir was completed in 1974. It is the seventh step in the development plan for the upper reaches of the Yellow River and serves multiple functions, including power generation, flood control, irrigation, aquaculture, navigation, and tourism. Located in a highland gorge, the reservoir is known as the 'Pearl of the Plateau' for its spectacular scenery. The Liujiaxia Reservoir is thus very famous and definitely worth a visit.

Just under 2 hours' drive from Lanzhou, you can reach Linxia Hui Autonomous Prefecture in Gansu Province. ❤Recommended Reasons: Stay here for a day, in the morning you can visit the confluence of the Yellow River and Daxia at Liujiaxia Reservoir, in the afternoon go to the Bingling Temple grottoes, enjoy a meal of hand-grabbed mutton in the evening, and then stroll along the riverside night scene to end this wonderful day, it's simply too blissful! 1️⃣Witness the magic of the Yellow River and Daxia confluence 🌟Highlights: When it comes to Liujiaxia, the first reaction is of course the hydropower station. Near the Liujiaxia Dam, there is a magical landscape where one river is clear and the other is muddy, one green and one yellow, forming a clear boundary line. From the viewing platform on Longhui Mountain, you can appreciate the magnificent confluence of the two rivers with a God's-eye view. This is the famous 'Yellow River and Daxia confluence', also known as 'Two Dragons Playing with a Pearl'. Because the Yellow River originates from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the vegetation coverage in its upper reaches is high, and soil erosion is relatively weak. Therefore, in this area, the Yellow River is calm and peaceful, with clear blue waters. During the Western Xia period, it was called 'White River'. As the river rushes eastward, when it passes through the Loess Plateau, the Daxia River, as its first tributary, brings in loess silt, and from then on, the Yellow River truly becomes the Yellow River. 2️⃣Visit Bingling Temple grottoes, older than Mogao Caves. 🌟Highlights: In the afternoon, head to the Bingling Temple grottoes located in the Yellow River Reservoir area. This is a treasure of beautiful grottoes on the banks of the Yellow River. Although it's not as popular as the Mogao Caves, it has a longer history of continuous excavation and is an important node in the cultural context of the Silk Road. It's best to have a guide lead the tour of this place, not only to learn about the excavation stories of Bingling Temple grottoes and the characteristics of different styles of grottoes but also to appreciate the essence of Buddhist artistic styles from different dynasties throughout history. The entire scenic area is visited clockwise along the mountain trail, and it is expected to take 1-2 hours. 3️⃣Taste the delicious Dongxiang hand-grabbed mutton. 🌟Highlights: In Linxia Hui Autonomous Prefecture, the Dongxiang people are an ethnic minority. Historically, Dongxiang hand-grabbed has always been a representative dish of Linxia. 'If a guest comes and doesn't eat hand-grabbed, it's a wasted trip to Linxia,' so hand-grabbed mutton has almost become the representative of Linxia's food culture. Dongxiang hand-grabbed mutton selects top-quality lamb and is stewed with secret spices over low heat, greatly retaining the original freshness of the lamb, and it's not gamey at all. Paired with garlic and piyazi, the taste is absolutely amazing. I'm getting hungry just writing this, don't miss it when you come! 4️⃣Stay in Yongjing County to see the beautiful night scene. 🌟Highlights: Yongjing, meaning 'forever peaceful'. This place is one of the early birthplaces, dissemination areas, and ancient human habitation and reproduction sites of the Chinese nation's Yellow River ancient culture, and it is also an important hydropower energy base in the northwest. This small county town is quite nice, with clean cityscape and not noisy. After dinner, take a walk along the river, the breeze is comfortable and cool. From the bridge, the riverside night scene has a bit of a Victoria Harbour vibe. In summary, whether you are playing around Lanzhou or going to Gannan, you can make Linxia a stopover point, and you won't regret it!

🌿This is Linxia Hui Autonomous Prefecture in Gansu, where the Yellow River and the Tao River meet. The colors of these two rivers are completely different, one is green and the other is yellow. Perhaps many people do not know that the green river is the Yellow River. This confluence is called Mandarin Duck Pot. 🧩The grottoes are hidden on the banks of the Yellow River on the Silk Road route in the great Northwest. Before seeing the grottoes, you will first see a large expanse of Bingling stone forest, which is a Danxia landform formed by the accumulation of Cretaceous red sandstone in the early Cenozoic era, nestled against the mountains and waters, and is stunningly beautiful. 🧩You can drive directly to Bingling Temple or take a speedboat. If driving, the mountain roads are difficult to navigate and the journey is relatively long, but you can control the sightseeing time yourself. If taking a speedboat, you drive to Liujiaxia to board the boat, and a 40-minute voyage allows you to immerse yourself in the Yellow River, see the famous Mandarin Duck Pot, and pass through the Yellow River Stone Forest, which is very worthwhile. The downside is that the sightseeing time is only one and a half hours before you have to leave on the original speedboat. 🧩The ticket for Bingling Temple Grottoes is 50 yuan, divided into ordinary and special grottoes, with the latter requiring an additional fee. There are 185 existing niches, 776 statues, and 912 square meters of murals. A careful visit takes at least three hours. 🧩In summary, Bingling Temple is definitely worth a visit when traveling in Gansu. ⛰️Place Name: Bingling Temple Yellow River Stone Forest 📍Address: Liujiaxia Dam, Yongjing County, Linxia Hui Autonomous Prefecture 🚇Transportation: Self-drive or speedboat 🅿️Parking: 5 yuan/time

A public aviation travel Pearl of the Yellow River Garden Hotel carries the expectation of accommodation, and the independent large garden truly lives up to the name of the garden hotel. A large wetland lake view, RV self-driving tour base, barbecue camp, log cabins, children's outdoor playground, with complete hardware facilities, it's just the empty boardwalk that makes one feel lonely when walking on it. Exiting the hotel is a food street in the new district, with green belts and shops on both sides of the road, and parking lots set up in between. There is an entrance and exit every hundred meters, making it impossible to park randomly on the roadside. Such design is quite rare even in the capital city, which is very admirable. Tai Chi Island, I never really saw its true face, but the park is filled with dazzling colors of large marigolds and sage, and you can scan a code to ride a bike anywhere. As a leisurely urban central park, this area is considered luxurious and precious. Visiting Luojia Cave Temple, suddenly dark clouds loomed, and a storm came swiftly. The red cliffs and Danxia under the muddy Yellow River were dazzling. It was like the legend of the Shengle Vajra dual-body statue, with a bit of joy and a bit of sorrow. But in just a moment, the rain dispersed, the clouds vanished, and the blue sky reappeared. The hanging temples of Luojia Cave Temple, the cypresses hiding the rocks, climbing the steps, the white pagodas and flags, the scent of butter, vaguely reminded me of those days in Tibet. A Gelug sect Tibetan Buddhist temple, under the jurisdiction of Labrang Monastery. The boardwalks on both sides were closed and could not be passed through. The caves on those red cliffs were once the refuge for the people and also the place of asceticism for monks. I found a legend about Luojia Cave, where a monk in practice fell in love with a village girl, and both became Buddhas. That is the story of the dual cultivation flesh statue in the temple. Because of love, they became Buddhas. The dual cultivation of blessings and wisdom in Tibetan Buddhism is perhaps more secular, making it easier to teach the people. Red cliffs and hanging temples, under the blue sky, there is a breathtakingly beautiful perspective. Standing on the mountainside overlooking Yongjing County, surrounded by mountains, the Yellow River flows past, nourishing and nurturing the pearl of the small town. In the city, the famous Wensheng hand-grabbed Yellow River carp, fermented bean curd, and yogurt are also excellent. Walking at night in the bustling center of the old city. A lively market starts, with strong barbecue smells, warm barley porridge, a cup of sweet roasted milk tea, wandering the streets of a foreign land, yet feeling exceptionally warm and affectionate. Bingling Temple's one-day mountain trail winds, Sister Stone Peaks, the waterborne Buddha land, there is no more beautiful grotto scenic area than this. The confluence of the Huang and Tao rivers, the boundary between green and yellow in the Two Dragons Playing with a Pearl, speedboats and tour boats stir up the white waves. Liujiagou Bridge, winding up to the viewing platform, the deep blue, the clear green, so the Yellow River can have such colors. Fortunate to have chosen Yongjing, all the beautiful scenes, none missed.
