Lanzhou is a place worth visiting, especially the surrounding tourist attractions, which are very suitable. If you don’t have much time, one day can actually have a lot of fun. Let’s take a look together!
Liujiagou
The first stop is the Liujiagou Reservoir Dam, and then take a boat from here to visit Bingling Temple. The highlights are on the boat and in Bingling Temple. You can see the obvious yellow-green dividing line at the confluence of the Tao River and the Yellow River, a natural landscape formed naturally. The two are incompatible but coexist harmoniously, which is very shocking.
In Bingling Temple, you can see the grotto culture with the same historical and artistic value as the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang and the Maiji Mountain Grottoes in Tianshui, which lays the groundwork for your trip to the Northwest.
Jingtai Stone Forest
The general route into the valley is to take a sheepskin raft to the ferry terminal at the entrance of the Yindamagou Canyon, then transfer to a donkey cart to enter the valley. When you return, you can take a speedboat back. First, you must experience the experience of drifting down the Yellow River on a sheepskin raft. This local special means of transportation played an important role during the Anti-Japanese War.
After entering the valley, you can see the shocking Yellow River Stone Forest. Although Guangxi also has cave stone forests, here is another kind of scenery. The Yellow River Stone Forest is formed by sandstone eroded by rainwater, with the highest reaching over 200 meters. These rocks are obviously formed naturally, but they seem to be carved by humans. They are very grand and spectacular.
Labrang Monastery
If you want to experience the Northwest religious culture, it starts here. Here is the longest prayer wheel in the world, the closest grassland to the city, religious atmosphere, and natural scenery. However, because it is relatively far from the station, the number of daily trips is not many. Tourists can choose to take a chartered car or drive by themselves.
Tourism is to experience things you have never experienced, to see different scenery and cultures. However, these three places in Gansu are all from nature or human landscape, worth visiting. It is recommended to drive by yourself or charter a car, which is convenient for going back and forth, because the place is far from the city center and there are definitely no good accommodations. Comfortable travel definitely requires a good night’s sleep. The Hilton Garden Inn Lanzhou Qilihe Bridge is located on the north bank of the Qilihe Yellow River Bridge, adjacent to the bustling area of Lanzhou High-speed Railway Station and West Station. The convenient transportation on Binhe North Road in front of the hotel takes you to all directions.
