20 19 which province is more interesting, Gansu tourism or Qinghai tourism? Which is more suitable for parent-child travel in northwest China?

If I have to choose one, I recommend Gansu, which is more suitable for parents and children.

1) Altitude: The main scenic spots in Qinghai, such as Qinghai Lake, Chaka Salt Lake, Zhuo'er Mountain (Qilian Mountain) and Qiyi Glacier, are at high altitude, which may be unbearable for children; The main scenic spots in Gansu are mainly cities, with an altitude of only 2,000. To be on the safe side, it is better to go to Gansu.

2) Tour content: Qinghai is beautiful, but if the children are younger, it may not be good to climb the mountain (Zhuo'er Mountain may feel tired); Chaka Salt Lake is lined up by train, and you don't have to walk in by train for at least two kilometers. Chaka mainly takes pictures. Do children like taking pictures? It's meaningless if you don't like it; Watching the stars in Qinghai Lake at night and dancing around the bonfire with the locals don't seem particularly interesting to children.

Gansu has more choices. Scenery: Zhangye colorful Danxia has a plank road, which is easier to walk, and there are hot air balloons and the like. If children want to sit, they can also play; Horseshoe Temple, maybe he doesn't know religion, but it's quite novel to see the snow-capped mountains (no need to climb); The crescent spring in Mingsha Mountain in Dunhuang, seeing the desert and oasis, is described in the book, and children should be happier. Culture: Jiayuguan, a place that understands history, has many stories to tell, and children are still interested in listening to stories; Dunhuang Mogao grottoes, this requires parents to make more preparations in the early stage. You can ask the instructor more questions when you go to the scene. Interaction can stimulate children's enthusiasm and learn things. There are many murals in the Mogao Grottoes, which are very easy to understand and are all kinds of stories.

3) Diet: Beef, mutton and halal food are the main foods in Northwest China, but personally I feel that there are many food choices in Gansu, and I am very happy. Zhang Ye's breakfast beef rice in Ganzhou night market, freshly cooked apricot skin tea and chicken pad paper have been in my mind for many years. I went to eat again last year, and the taste was still the same. How happy I am! Dunhuang is a gourmet paradise. Donkey yellow noodles, donkey spring rolls, mutton powder soup, mixed juice and all kinds of mutton ... the keyboard will be flooded ...

These facilities around the scenic spots in Qinghai are relatively weak, and there are many fewer choices to eat. Like those restaurants in Chaka Town, the price is not low in the peak season, and the taste is average, but there is no choice. What should I do? Next to Qinghai Lake, you can either eat Sichuan food in Heimahe Township or drive to a hotel in Gangcha area. You can only eat it in the hotel (the taste is ok) because there is nothing else around.

In a word, I recommend Gansu for your situation.
