    "Beautiful, beautiful, the flower lake in early autumn is as beautiful. I played Jiuqu and Huahu in one day. Compared with Jiuqu, Jiuqu is garbage. If the full score is 10 points, Huahu will have 8 points. I don't want to give nine songs a point. The same 105 tickets, Jiuqu will be used as feeding dogs."

    "In recent years, every provincial capital city has to go to the museum. And order an explanation on Trip.com . There are many cultural relics I like in the Gansu Provincial Museum. After placing the order, the lecturer, Mr. Du, took the initiative to contact the itinerary, and the meeting time and place and precautions were very clear. Teacher Du is very knowledgeable and has a deep study of the historical stories of the museum's cultural relics. After three hours with Mr. Du, he learned the most essence of the entire Gansu Province and benefited greatly. I also hope that Mr. Du can pass on the knowledge in his mind to more tourists."

    "Lanzhou night tour is divided into three piers. I personally feel that the Yanchangbao Pier is the most suitable. There are not many people in line, because most tourists are concentrated in the pier near the Yellow River Iron Bridge. There are not many people on the boat at the Yanchangbao Pier. The whole night tour time is about an hour. You can visit the scenery on both sides of the Yellow River, from the Yanchangbao Pier to the Yellow River Iron Bridge, the price is also very cheap, it is worth a visit"

    "The most attractive thing in Lanzhou is the Baita Mountain, and the C position of Baita Mountain is the White Tower Temple White Tower. From the Yellow River, the Baita Mountain is very spectacular, and the night view after the lights are on at night is even more beautiful. After the war and earthquake, the Buddha statue has been relocated to the Fayu Temple below. The only thing that remains is this white Buddha tower, as well as some remaining houses, monuments, release pools and other relics, have lost the function of the temple. In addition to the white tower, there are "three treasures", elephant skin drums, bronze bells, bauhinia trees, all have stories and history. After visiting the White Pagoda Temple, you will go to the ropeway. There are also many attractions along the way. You can also see many Lanzhou citizens, bring their families, and have picnics under the shade of trees and on the lawn. The road to the ropeway is not close, the sun is very hot, and finally gave up the monument museum, it is really a pity, because the photos are very good, and finally can only leave a memorial far away. However, there are fewer people standing on the ropeway than the people who are standing on the ropeway. When they pass the ropeway, they take a photo. The queue for the ticket sales hall is far away."
    Lanzhou.Baita Mountain Park
    >100km from Gannan
    Highlights: Baita Mountain Park is located on the north bank of the Yellow River near the central district of Lanzhou City. The entrance is connected to Zhongshan Bridge and is an important scenic spot in Lanzhou City. Baita Mountain is based on the ancient white pagoda on the top of the mountain. There are many palace-style buildings in the mountains. Many trees are planted around the buildings. It is very good to exercise and take photos here. More importantly, when you climb Baita Mountain, you can see the spectacular panorama of Lanzhou City, with a very wide field of vision. The best time to visit Baita Mountain is in summer. The altitude of the top of the mountain is about 1,700 meters, but it is only about 200 meters high compared to the Lanzhou City below the mountain. The mountain is not high, and it is not difficult to climb up. There are courtyards and temples of some ancient buildings on the road, as well as beautiful trees and lawns, which can be viewed one by one. Arrive at the top area to watch the White Pagoda, take a panoramic view of Lanzhou, and then go to the Lanzhou Forest of Steles behind the mountain, and then go down the mountain and return. The general play time is about 2-3 hours. In addition, if you are not physically strong, you can also take the Yellow River Cableway on the other side of the Yellow River. The cableway passes through the Yellow River and then reaches the mountainside of Baita Mountain. There are roughly three levels of ancient buildings on the mountaineering road of Baita Mountain, including huge arches, city towers and monastery attics. Between these buildings, there are many trees, creating a rare tree-lined environment in the northwest, and it is very comfortable to climb the mountain. Some of the courtyards of the building also have lawns, and wild flowers bloom every spring and summer, which is very beautiful. In addition, there will be people selling handicrafts such as gourd carvings and Yellow River stone carvings on the mountain roads, usually for dozens of dollars a piece, if you are interested, you can buy them. At the top of the mountain is a white pagoda, with a total of seven floors and seventeen meters high. This pagoda was built by Kublai Khan to commemorate the Tibetan Buddhist teacher Saban who died here, and later rebuilt in the Ming Dynasty. One of the symbols is also the origin of the name of Baita Mountain. There are also cultural relics from the Ming and Qing Dynasties such as elephant skin drums and bronze bells on the top of the mountain, which are also the legendary treasures of the town. More importantly, when you look back at the top of the mountain, you can see the panoramic view of Lanzhou city. A Yellow River passes through the city at the foot, and there are row upon row of buildings on both sides of the river bank, which is very spectacular. If you come in the evening or after dark, the buildings and street lights will be on, which is more suitable for shooting beautiful night scenes of the city. On the northwest side of the back of the mountain, there is a forest of steles in Lanzhou, which is a similar round ancient courtyard. On the inner side of the courtyard wall, there are copies of calligraphy and stone carvings of many famous calligraphers from ancient times to modern times. The historical monuments of the King of Xining, "Hui'an Xibiao", "Chunhua Pavilion Tie", etc. have been copied or carved here. In addition, there are calligraphy stone tablets with special characters such as oracle bone script, Tibetan script, Xixia script, and Phashiba script, which are worth visiting. When tourists visit Lanzhou, they usually visit Baita Mountain Park, Lanzhou Waterwheel Expo Park, Zhongshan Bridge, etc. If there is enough time, Gansu Provincial Museum will be added. It is recommended to arrange the itinerary to climb Baita Mountain in the afternoon, go down the mountain in the evening just to see the night scene on both sides of the Yellow River, and then go to the Zhengning Road Night Market not far away to taste delicious snacks, which is very pleasant.

    "📍 Attraction Address: Yongdeng County, Lanzhou City 🚗 Attraction Transportation: About an hour's drive from the city. You can drive by yourself, carpool, report a group, it is not recommended to take a bus, it will take a long time. The taxi cost is a bit high, and it is also a good choice to carpool. 👍️ Must-see attractions: Danding Range Rover, nine-color Danqing Plank Road is a must-see attraction, other few are generally, some are still under construction. Danding Range Rover can be seen from a height of 1949 meters, and the scenery of Danxia ink can be seen. When we went, it just rained, the color was beautiful, and there was smoke. The length of the nine-color Danqing plank road is 3550 meters. There is time to go again. We only walked for a while in time. This is deep into the ink Danxia Mountain, and closer to immersive viewing. 🎟️ Ticket related: 80 yuan, including bus and shuttle bus, but not battery car. Battery car depends on personal strength, and you can rent it if you want to save effort. 💗 Other tips: There are cable cars and other constructions in the back, and the shuttle bus is quite timely. There are not many places to eat. It is recommended that the scenic spot limit the flow of tourists in the peak season and the experience will be better."

    "It was very close from the Guide National Geopark, but no one sold tickets at the entrance there. I drove more than 20 kilometers along the mountain road to Xiaodianchi. I knew that I had to enter from the entrance in another direction. Unfortunately, I took a few photos around and left. But the scenery of the mountain is very beautiful, the mountains and deep forests are slowly moving around, and the heartbeat will miss a shot."
