Things to do in Jingning

The kids had a fantastic time at Shapotou! The sand was soft and fine, perfect for playing in. There were many activities to choose from, from gentle sheepskin rafting and camel riding to sandboarding for the more adventurous. The park was clearly marked, the shuttle bus service was convenient, safety instructions were thorough, and the scenery was beautiful. It's a perfect place to get close to nature and experience unique activities – a top choice for families with children! Half Yellow River, half desert – finally, we understand the beauty of the northern frontier. Shapotou boasts magnificent scenery, diverse activities, and is most beautiful at sunset – definitely worth a visit.

The scenic area is large and clean, with a refreshing atmosphere. There are so many animals, the shows are fantastic, the kids had a blast, and the visit was very comfortable. The staff were very welcoming, and the routes were well-designed – it was so convenient! I'll definitely come back next time.

Zhagana is unbelievably beautiful! Surrounded by rocky mountains, the Tibetan village is shrouded in mist in the mornings, like a thin veil draped over it. Standing on the viewing platform, you can see terraced fields stretching out, with yellow rapeseed flowers and green barley, set against the backdrop of shimmering snow-capped peaks in the distance—every snapshot is wallpaper-worthy. The air is filled with the scent of grass and cooking smoke, and yaks graze leisurely. It's so relaxing, you won't want to leave!

A great place for hiking, with tons of negative ions! Currently, three areas are open to the public, with Xiaonanchuan as the core attraction. The botanical garden is still under construction and not recommended for now. Liangdianxia is Genghis Khan's summer retreat and doesn't require a long visit. PS: A thorough visit to Xiaonanchuan takes about an hour. It's recommended to enter by water. After reaching the end of the path, climb a short flight of stairs and then hike a little further. You can take a shuttle bus back to the bus stop (ticket price is 10 yuan). The walk down to the bus stop without the shuttle bus is 3km. It's best to visit in the morning.

Qingmuchuan Ancient Town is located at the junction of Shaanxi, Sichuan and Gansu provinces. The ancient buildings are well preserved. Must-see attractions include the Wei Family Residence, Rongshengkui, and the opium den. You must also stroll along Huilongchang Old Street and climb Huilong Pavilion to overlook the entire ancient town.

Mount Kongtong is very large and well worth visiting. The attractions are quite close together, and the hiking experience is just right. We reached a scenic spot as soon as we got a little tired, and both the natural scenery and cultural landscapes were worthwhile. The central platform is a fairly large square with shops and performances, and the scenery is quite nice. The elderly people were drinking tea and resting there while we continued climbing.

The environment is clean and elegant, the hot spring water is clear and comfortable, the temperature is just right, and you can relax and de-stress after soaking. The service is warm and thoughtful, the price is very reasonable, and the experience is superb.

Maijishan was even better than I expected, with exquisite murals and beautiful sculptures. However, many of the caves are special grottoes that require separate reservations (there is a daily limit on the number of visitors), and the fees are not cheap.

The scenic area seemed reasonably priced, and the scenery was very beautiful. However, the facilities within the area weren't particularly interesting. It's best to come here at sunset to watch the Yellow River. Overall, the experience was still worthwhile.

It's incredibly beautiful. The scenic area is vast, divided into Guanzhugou, Leigushan, and E'mangou, and it's well worth a visit. Located in Dangchang, Longnan, Gansu, lies Guan'egou, known as the "Little Jiuzhaigou of Longshang."
