My husband and I are going to Xining from Lanzhou tomorrow. Please help me and tell me what interesting places, tourist routes and accommodation problems there are in Xining.

If you like sightseeing, please continue to watch.

But it's not far to go back to Lanzhou on the 3 rd ... Xining city is nothing special, not as good as Lanzhou. But you can go to the "Eight Scenes of Xining" and see clearly that it is the "Eight Scenes".

Only two of the "Eight Ancient Scenes of Xining" ("The Phoenix Terrace in Nanshan" and "The Misty Rain in Beishan" in Beishan) are in the urban area, and the others are all around. Let me give you a detailed introduction.

Shixia

From Xining eastbound 15 km, you can reach a beautiful and refreshing summer resort, which is the "Shixia Qingfeng", one of the eight ancient scenic spots in Xining.

Shi Xia, commonly known as Xiao Xia, is famous for its dangerous pass in history. During the period of world domination, it was the main road connecting east and west traffic; When the world was in chaos, there was a heavy door across the two places. Suiyuan Pass was built in Song Dynasty to control key areas, while Wuding Pass and De 'an Pass were built in Qing Dynasty. The canyon has also left a touching legend for people: in the past, surrounded by mountains, rivers were blocked, immortals threw stones at the mountains, hills collapsed, and Huangshui River was connected, forming a magnificent canyon.

In today's canyon, reinforced concrete arch bridges fly north and south, the roads are as flat as a rock, pedestrians and vehicles flow endlessly, and the dangerous pass has become a thoroughfare. However, when tourists arrive at the banks of Huang Shuihe in the small gorge, they still feel cool and breezy even in hot summer. At that time, the scene of "stone chaos and sparse horseshoes" has become a historical memory.

Golden moth dawn

Niangniang Mountain, also known as Golden Moth Mountain, is located in Datong Hui and Tu Autonomous County. There is a Tianchi lake on the top of the mountain. Every summer, when there is a lot of rain, the water in Tianchi is rippling, and butterflies in Chi Pan are flying and colorful. Qinghai is mountainous, and Niangniang Mountain has commanding heights. You can watch the sunrise on the mountain in the morning, and the sun bursts out from the mountain. The scene is spectacular and is said to be comparable to Mount Tai. When tourists climb the mountain to watch the sunrise, the sunrise, mountain flowers and butterflies set each other off. Niangniang Mountain is famous for its profound beauty and colorful weather.

Wenfeng songcui

Speaking of this scenic spot, we can't help but mention a beautiful legend of Nanshan in Xining. It is said that people once built an attic in Nanshan, and a phoenix landed here, which the locals think is a symbol of good luck. Later, in order to look forward to the prosperity of local writing style, people built Kuixing Pavilion on the mountain. Nowadays, people in Xining are not familiar with this scene.

Fontaine Liu Yun

Nanshan in Xining is also called Phoenix Mountain, and there is a pavilion on the mountain called Fengge. During the Nanliang period, it was widely rumored that "the dragon is now in Changning, and the unicorn is strong." As a result, "Fengtai Liu Yun", one of the eight ancient scenes in Xining, became a scene in Xining. Nanshan, a building complex centered on Guandi Temple, was built in the eighth year of Yongle in Ming Dynasty and is a well-preserved Ming-style building in Xining. Now all the scenic spots on the mountain are newly built after liberation.

Because of the relatively high altitude of Nanshan, Fengtai is often shrouded in mist and has its own scenery. Now, these landscapes have been developed as a part of nanshan park. With the development of Nanbei Mountain Park, the development of these landscapes will go to a higher level.

Longchi jathyapple

The so-called "Longchi" refers to a spring located in the southwest of Sujiawan Village in the western suburbs of Xining. Because many temples have been built here, historically, this is a place with strong incense. The temples here were built in the Ming Dynasty, but they were repeatedly built and abandoned. It was called "Five Dragon Palace" in the late Qing Dynasty and was once very popular.

Nowadays, the so-called scenery of jathyapple in Longchi is beyond our appreciation. However, imagine that the spring is bright, the night is clear and the moon is high, just like the scenery of Jiangnan water town.

Huangliu Chunsheng

The so-called Huangshui River refers to the Huangshui River, an important tributary of the Yellow River north of Xining, also known as Xining River. Every spring and summer, the ice and snow melt in the upper reaches of Huangshui River, and there is plenty of water. In Xining, it flows to Xijiao River, Beichuan River and Nanchuan River, and is injected into Huangshui one after another. The river suddenly rises and the waves are rough, so it is called "Huangshui Spring Rising", which is one of the eight ancient scenic spots in Xining. Nowadays, the banks of Huangshui River are changing with each passing day due to urban construction. It's early spring, and I'm walking along the Huangshui River. The willow color is like smoke, the highway is like stone, and there are many tall buildings. At night, all the lights are shining against the starry sky and the scenery is pleasant.

Wufeng waterfall

The famous Wufeng Waterfall is located in Beigounao, Huzhu Tu Autonomous County. Because the peaks here are shaped like five fingers, they are called Wufeng Mountain. The environment here is elegant, there are many springs, and the trickle is like a waterfall. It is still a tourist attraction in Qinghai.

There are three wonders in Wufeng Mountain, namely, forest, spring and cave. Man also comes down to three forests, three caves and three springs. These three forests are pine forest, poplar forest and birch forest. In summer, the trees are lush and lush everywhere. In autumn, the leaves of pine, poplar and birch turn red, and the layers of forest are dyed, and the scenery is infinite. These three caves are East Cave, West Cave and North Cave. The east tunnel is 8m deep, 3m high and 3m wide, the west tunnel is 7m deep, 2m high and 3m wide, and the north tunnel is 10m deep, 3m high and 4m wide. The cave is cold and covered with moss, which has a unique charm. Three springs are Dragon Palace Spring, Hidden Spring and Cracked Spring. Of the three springs, Longgong Spring has the best water quality. The spring water gushed out from the stone carving dragon mouth and poured down the seven-level stone wall, forming a waterfall, and the water splashed on the mountain road. Around the spring stone, there are poems such as "the mountains are quieter, the human songs are endless, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and the spring water is flowing".

Climbing up the stairs from Longgong Spring is Wufeng Temple. Wufeng Temple was built in Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty. Its main buildings are Bodhisattva Hall, Longwang Pavilion, Jade Hall, Xianggong Building and Letong Pavilion. Recently, pavilions and newly painted colors have attracted more tourists' attention.

Wufeng Mountain is also a scenic spot for singing Qinghai folk songs, commonly known as the "Flower Festival". June 6th every year is the most beautiful season in Wufeng Mountain, and the "Flower Show" on June 6th in Wufeng Mountain is also very famous. At that time, singers from all walks of life in the northwest gathered on Wufeng Mountain, singing loudly and shaking, singing from dawn to late at night, "Wufeng sings fairy tales in June, and eight townships and four fields seek bosom friends." Such a large-scale mass art activity has added splendor to the scenery of the Five Peaks.

Beishan misty rain

Xining is surrounded by mountains, but the north and south mountains are loved for their wonderful beauty. Beishan is a surprise. Xining Beishan, also known as Tulou Mountain. Tuloushan once built Tuloushan Shrine, and there is a temple in the former site of the shrine, formerly known as Beichan Temple, also known as Yongxing Temple. As early as the Northern Wei Dynasty, Li Daoyuan recorded in the Notes on Water Classics: "Huangshui is in the east, the earth building in the south and the mountains and rivers building in the north. This mountain peak is 300 feet high. If you cut it, there will be a shrine downstairs, so the wall will be carved. " It can be seen that Beishan has a history of more than two thousand years.

There are many historical sites in Beishan, which is why Beishan is still a major scenic spot in Xining. Today, there are Buddhist temples, Taoist temples, brick towers, caves, murals and open-air giant buddhas. After several generations of expansion and repair, holes were dug between cliffs, and "nine holes and eighteen holes" were distributed from west to east in turn.

The plateau climate is sunny when it begins to rain, but the best scenery to visit Tulou Mountain is to watch it in the rain. In the misty rain, you can really feel the artistic conception of Tulou Mountain, which is a vague ink painting. Standing in Doumu Temple, the eaves of the temple are dripping like beads, the buildings in the rain curtain are covered with a layer of fine gauze, the roads are like a few strokes of rough ink, and the trees are rendered like light ink. Looking at Nanshan in the distance, it seems invisible, invisible and divine. Only the Ningshou Tower with the architectural style of Tang Dynasty on the top of Beishan Mountain stands in the misty rain, like a weather-beaten old monk, thinking about the world.

In addition to the eight ancient scenic spots in Xining, you should also visit Qinghai Lake and Ta 'er Temple, which is not far from the urban area and takes 20 minutes by highway. Qinghai Lake is far away (15 1-300 km), and it takes only one day, but it is not recommended to go in this season. The best time to travel to Qinghai Lake is from July to September.

You can only choose your own route, and 3 days is not enough time to play all of the above.

As long as the accommodation is not near the railway station, there are many hotels in Xining city, and the ones between 120- 160 are very good. It is recommended to stay in the city or west of the city.
