There is a place called Yeliguan in Gannan. In fact, many friends have not heard of this place. Yeliguan National Forest Park is the main attraction of Yeliguan Scenic Area. The forest park is dominated by quiet forest scenery and beautiful mountains and rivers. It is the most important place for tourists to visit Yeliguan, and it is also a good place to escape the heat in summer.

Yeliguan was an important gateway to Tibet in ancient times. The climate of Yeliguan is warm and humid, cool and pleasant. The scenic area has beautiful mountains and rivers and picturesque scenery. It is known as the "Ecological Grand View Garden and Lanzhou Back Garden". Yeliguan National Forest Park is located on the northeastern edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, adjacent to the Lianhuashan Nature Reserve to the east and Hehe City to the west. It has a total area of ??79,400 hectares, a forest coverage rate of 63%, and a vegetation coverage rate of 92.0%; wandering in the forest, Breathing the fresh air of nature will make your mood extremely comfortable and open.

The Yeliguan Scenic Area has many scenic spots. It is a unique and colorful world in the sultry green, with different postures. When you travel around, you will have endless daydreams. It only takes 2 hours from Yeliguan to Lanzhou. It can be reached, and the road conditions are very good. It is located in Gansu, but it has a completely different style. The green plants and moist breeze blowing along the way make people feel relaxed and happy. This place is usually closed from November to April of the following year, and it is very cool in summer. The wonders of nature are displayed in front of you one after another.

Yeliguan Town is a tourism service hub developed purely because of the scenic spot. The tourist center of the scenic spot is in the town, and the provincial highway S311 (Dingxi-Xincheng) and the Cooperation to Yeliguan Highway go directly to the town. Yeliguan is divided into four scenic spots: Lianhua Mountain, Xixia, Dongxia and Yehai Lake. The scenic spots are large and scattered. It usually takes 2 days to visit. However, the scenic spots in Yeliguan Scenic Area are relatively far from the town. Depending on your interests and Arrange your time reasonably, Yehai Lake and Xiangzigou are more recommended.

The ever-changing scenery along the way up and down the mountain, with the yellow barberry and white meadowsweet all over the mountains, is really beautiful. The most impressive thing is that there are so many farmhouses on the roadside of Yeliguan, I can’t even count them. Next, there are at least more than a hundred. Are you a little worried about having so much business, haha? I stayed at a farmhouse. I put my luggage and walked outside the hotel first. The environment here was like that of Lijiang. There was a small stream flowing slowly at the door. The sun was shining brightly and the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant.

Following a winding and long world-world path, we gradually disappeared into the depths of the mountains. We thought we had reached the end of the road, but the leader took us to a nearby suspension bridge and emerged. I found a relatively flat slope, and it turned out to be another village with hidden flowers and bright flowers. The mountains here are steep and the scenery is beautiful. Since it is a mountainous and hilly area, it has a relatively complete natural spectrum, rich resources, and a very special plateau ecological forest.

This kind of green mountains and green waters is rarely seen near Lanzhou. It is quite eye-catching, but perhaps it will not be so impressive for tourists who have come from the Qinling Mountains. However, the pastoral scenery of Yeliguan is really good. It is a very photogenic place and the photos are very beautiful. It is no wonder that director Zhang Jizhong has a special liking for this place. The new version of "Journey to the West" and "The Age of Heroes" were filmed here. I also filmed exterior scenes here.

As an oasis in Gansu, the microclimate and scenery are not much different from those in Chengdu. There is a section of the road that is not easy to walk. Only after arriving do you realize that there are such beautiful places in the western Gobi. Halfway out of Lanzhou, you can see the mountains changing from yellow to green. The scenery is good and it is a good choice for students to travel during the holidays. In addition, Tibetan Buddhism is popular in Yeliguan. Various temples and prayer flags can be seen everywhere, full of strong Tibetan customs, giving people an infinite sense of mystery.
