What do you know when you go to the northwest?

I'm from the south, and I love the northwest, especially Gansu.

I went to Lanzhou in northwest Gansu for four years. In the past four years, I have been to many places in Gansu, such as Lanzhou, Baiyin, Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiayuguan, Dunhuang and Gannan. During this period, I came into contact with many people in Gansu. I think northwest Gansu is really a very good place. It's not hot in summer, it's not cold with heating in winter, and the northwest people are warm, simple and kind. This is really something I didn't feel before I went to Gansu.

People who have never been to Gansu think that Gansu children ride camels to school, Gansu people are short of water, and several people use a pot of water. After thinking of the college entrance examination, they received the admission notice. People asked me where I took the exam, and I said it was Lanzhou, Gansu. Everyone says it is extremely difficult there, mainly because of the bad climate and poor places. They also asked me why I went there. Because I have never been to Gansu, I think children in Gansu are just like people who have to ride camels to school and have no water to take a bath. I'm worried too. But I went without hesitation, because I didn't want to make the same mistake again.

I fell in love with this place as soon as I arrived in Gansu. Go to school in early September. After I got off the plane with my bags, my God, this place is so comfortable. It's not hot at all, and I'm secretly happy It is no exaggeration to say that autumn is crisp, but there is also a disadvantage that ultraviolet rays are a little strong and the sun is a little hurt. But compared with my hometown in Hunan, the temperature in September is close to 40 degrees, and the lowest temperature is 35 degrees. It is not a big deal to endure the attack of the autumn tiger every day.

About ten days after I went to school to report for military training, several students from Jiangsu, a major of mine, told the counselor that they were going to drop out of school because they could not stand the ultraviolet rays and diet in Gansu. Maybe I have a strong adaptability. After a month or so, I completely adapted to the climate in Gansu. At the end of four years, I fell in love with that land in Gansu.

Why do you love Gansu so much? Tell me what I saw and heard. First, the food in northwest Gansu is unforgettable. 1. The food in Gansu is mainly pasta. Before I came to Gansu, I also ate a lot of Lanzhou Lamian Noodles. I thought I was eating serious Lanzhou beef noodles. In fact, there is no such thing as "Lanzhou Lamian Noodles" in Gansu. The food in Gansu is called Lanzhou Beef Noodles, and there is "one clear, two white, three red and four green Huang Wu". Every morning, there are people queuing to eat beef noodles in front of the major beef noodle restaurants in Lanzhou, forming a unique landscape in Lanzhou. In the early morning in Lanzhou, I feel full of vitality after eating a bowl of beef noodles, and I miss it after not eating for a few days. Going to Gansu without eating beef noodles means that you have never been to Gansu, because you can't taste Lanzhou beef noodles outside Gansu.

Lanzhou cuisine includes Lanzhou beef noodles, fried noodles, Huimian Noodles, noodles and mutton noodles. There are a lot of steamed buns, steamed buns, baked buns, all kinds of cakes, and the favorite is the bean cake, which makes my mouth water now.

2. The fruit in Gansu pushes the white melon, which is delicious and does not get angry. In Gansu for so many years, I have never eaten a fruit that tastes better than white melon.

Secondly, the enthusiasm of Gansu people in the northwest and the simple folk customs of Gansu people made me understand that strangers can have such love. In Gansu, if you get lost and ask the way, you will be very enthusiastic to tell you. If you don't understand, they will tell you again and again. If you don't know, there are many ways to show you the way, which many cities in the south can't do. Some cities ask for directions. No one cares if you don't give money.

Third, Gansu people especially love cleanliness and hygiene. I think it should be a national model. When I was a junior, I went to my roommate's house, in a village near Wuwei City in Hexi Corridor. Before I went, I thought Gansu was short of water, and I didn't like washing clothes or taking a bath. Actually, it's not. After I went there, I found that their family and many families in their village were in good order. To tell the truth, many people in southern cities are not as neat as those in rural Gansu, and the alleys in the village are very clean. Washing clothes and bathing can be done at will, but because the climate in Gansu is relatively dry, it is basically washed once a week. Too much washing will make you peel and itch, and you can't sleep.

Fourth, Gansu people pay attention to thrift, not extravagance and waste, and have a sense of saving. During my college years, my classmates in neighboring Gansu did not pursue brand clothes and shoes. It's not that they can't afford it, but that they feel comfortable wearing clothes and shoes. I remember that it was the Wenchuan earthquake, and many Gansu students in my class donated more than 500 yuan. I feel shocked and ashamed. How did they become so rich? Later, I learned that it's not that they can't spend all their money, but that they want to spend it on the cutting edge, so that they can save some money at ordinary times and won't be too flustered when using it. This habit has influenced me. Now I also consciously save money every month, which can be said to be beneficial without harm.

Fifth, the scenery in the northwest is beautiful, with the first Xiongguan in the world and Jiayuguan, the first fortress of silk; An oasis and a crescent spring in Mingsha Mountain; Mogao Grottoes, an art museum in the desert, and Zhagana with beautiful scenery; Kongtong Mountain, the birthplace of kings of past dynasties; Dunhuang Ya Dan National Geopark; Zhangye Danxia Geopark; An important military pass in the Han Dynasty and Yumenguan, the main road of the Silk Road, and so on. Just listening to these names is particularly attractive, so people who have never been to Gansu should not always think that Gansu is the Loess Plateau and there is nothing to see. You'll know how stupid your idea is when you go.

Summary: Only when we went to Gansu did we know that China is vast in territory and abundant in resources, and there are many places that we need to learn. What others say is completely different from what you hear. If I didn't go to Gansu, I might still think that Gansu children go to school to ride camels. Gansu's economy is not the same as that in the 1980s and 1990s. It can be said that it has taken off. I want to go to Gansu, the first in the northwest. Why not push other places in the northwest, such as Xinjiang, Shaanxi and Qinghai? That's because I haven't been to these places much, so I dare not comment, but I still look forward to it.

I love the traditional culture of northwest China, China and China.

I have never been to the northwest. 1996 I went to Shanxi once to let me know that there is such a place.

At that time, we went to Shanxi to buy Yuliren, a medicinal material. I took care of the truck from here, with two drivers and four friends.

When I arrived in the county seat, I found a guest house and provided accommodation. As usual, we ordered four courses.

When the food was served, we were all stunned. That's not a plate, but a washbasin, which is not much smaller than the washbasin.

I can't return it, so I have to bite the bullet and eat. I didn't order any more staple food and soup, and I didn't eat half of it in the end.

A driver said, "I have a big appetite, or I will waste more."

The other one also said that he couldn't stand it and was afraid that he couldn't sleep.

The next day, local friends who came to pick us up came and took us into the mountains. Before leaving, we bought a snakeskin bag of purple eggplant and five bags of apples in the county.

Strange as it is, I don't have the courage to ask.

In the afternoon, I went to a small mountain village and stayed in a family. A friend gave eggplant and a bag of apples to the shopkeeper.

Soon, the daughter-in-law of this family brought two pots, one is a cut apple and the other is a cut eggplant.

My eyes are about to fall, I don't know what the rhythm is. Dare not speak.

Local friends saw it and looked a little abnormal. Didn't speak.

The young daughter-in-law warmly invited us to dinner. Although she didn't quite understand what she was saying, she could even understand her gestures and guesses, and we nodded politely in return.

After she went out, local friends whispered, "I made you laugh." Mountain people have never seen this kind of eggplant, thinking it is fruit. Just pretend to eat, eat more and then take it out, otherwise they will feel embarrassed. "

What are we laughing at? Poverty is like this. We are better than them, but we know eggplant better than them.

That night, the five of us ate all the big pots of eggplant and gave the apples to the host family. We think eggplant is very sweet, not worse than apple.

Later, when loading the car, many villagers came, so we asked how much loading and unloading fees were needed. So many people don't know how to calculate.

Local friends said they didn't need it, and they wouldn't want it if they gave it to them. They all came to help. Just give them the apples in the car.

We gave them the apple and they pushed it around and refused to accept it. Finally, my local friend said, "Just put it down. I can't pull it back anyway. " They just took it.

I have never seen a place with such simple folk customs. Although poor, there is no shortage of etiquette and loyalty!

On 20/0/5, Kloc traveled to the northwest for the first time and went to Lanzhou, Yinchuan, Xining, Dunhuang, Jiayuguan and Qinghai Lake for 23 days.

Our first stop is Lanzhou. 20 15 Lanzhou gave me the impression that the urban planning was not very good and I felt a little chaotic. Then we went to Gansu Museum, Baitashan Park, Yellow River Railway Bridge and Wuquanshan Park in Lanzhou, and then I observed that most Lanzhou citizens wore domestic brand sports shoes on 20 15. I don't mean any disrespect, it's purely a phenomenon I observed.

Those two days were the first time to see so many Anta, 36 1, Xtep, and several people wearing foreign brand sports shoes sounded like tourists.

This may explain that there was still a gap between Gansu's economy and China's economically developed areas.

At the same time, whether it is Lanzhou, Yinchuan or Xining, there are also many domestic brand stores that I usually only see outside the Fifth Ring Road in Beijing.

Another feeling is that although Lanzhou, Yinchuan and Xining are all provincial capitals, the pace of life is much slower than that of cities such as Beishangguang and even Chengdu-Chongqing and Xi 'an.

Another interesting thing is that we took a taxi in Yinchuan, and the master was very talkative. After chatting for a while, we realized that the master was from Lanzhou. Then we were surprised to ask him, master, why did you come from Lanzhou to work in Yinchuan?

Then the master told me that the pace of life in Lanzhou was too fast and he didn't like it.

We:. . . . .

Another fun thing is a fast food restaurant in the northwest. Dicos is more than KFC. Why do we know? It's because we are really tired of eating mutton when we come back from Qinghai Lake and want to eat something different. I didn't find KFC after driving around, but I saw several Dicos. Later, we unanimously decided to eat Dicos.

Another feeling is that religion and ethnic groups get along, at least what we see is very harmonious. When eating the so-called small restaurant recommended by Yinchuan locals, I found that there were two shops separated from the Muslim butcher's shop and the Han butcher's shop, but at breakfast, I saw the bosses of the two shops chatting happily without any gap.

Speaking of the overall feeling, the northwest region is definitely not as good as the cities at the same level in the east, central and even southwest, and the pace of life in the northwest region is also relatively slow, but the people in the northwest region give me a feeling of being more enthusiastic, not as indifferent as the big cities in the east, at least in my opinion, all ethnic groups get along very harmoniously and happily.

It turns out that the night market in Lanzhou is so lively that it is more smoky than many cities in the mainland. It turns out that the world in the northwest is so vast that you can't see the edge at all; It turns out that Tianshan Mountain is very close, and it is no longer a legend in martial arts. It turns out that all hotels in the northwest have free brick tea with salt and pepper. It turns out that people can't walk fast in the sand and will sink in. It turned out that the black wolfberry picked by local children was very cheap and sold to the merchants who bought it. It turns out that the northwest is not far away It turns out that Delingha in Haizi does have this place, and all the scenery has precipitated into memories and become unforgettable things in this world. It turns out that there is no Lanzhou Lamian Noodles in Lanzhou, only beef noodles; It turns out that there is a drink in Lanzhou called carotene, which is cheap and delicious. It turns out that the Yellow River passes through the city and can be seen from the mountain. It turns out that the sheepskin raft is really made of sheepskin; It turns out that vast territory and rich resources are not only exaggerated vocabulary descriptions, but also beautiful mountains and rivers mean reality!

Northwest China, a place that was once far away, has been there, but it is no longer far away and has become a part of memory.

I spent some time in Lanzhou during the summer vacation. Tell me what time it is.

1. Very prosperous. Especially West Station Cross and Zhangye Road, there is a large flow of people, and Lanzhou Center has a huge flow of people and long business hours. At night 10 There are still many people strolling on Zhangye Road. There are many snack streets, but one on Zhengning Road has been forgotten, giving people the feeling that it is bustling and crowded, which has broken my impression of Lanzhou.

The greening in Lanzhou is much better than before. The last time I went there was eight years ago. There are many kinds of street trees on both sides of the city now.

3. Gourmet, Lanzhou pasta is delicious, beef noodles, fried noodles, probably because it is not far from Chengdu, and there are many branches of Chengdu Hot Pot and Chongqing Hot Pot.

The climate is cool, it may be a little hot during the day, but it is very comfortable when the cool breeze blows at night.

5. Lanzhou bus 1 yuan is very cost-effective and the car is very new.

This is the law that we didn't know until we arrived in the northwest.

I live in Henan, where people are famous for their table rules. Once, a professor in Shanghai wrote an article about drinking in Henan, which became popular on the Internet for a while. Many foreigners can't stand the enthusiasm of Henan people on the wine table. As soon as they enter the banquet, Henan people will begin to perform wine-persuading performances and toast riddles. A fish can offer more than 100 glasses of wine, which is shocking. Many people are so drunk that they wonder if Henan people have cleaned themselves up.

Living in such an environment, I am not only familiar with the rules of Henan wine table, but also trained a good hand. I guess it was on the wine table with someone else. Basically, I win more and lose less. Every time I can knock someone out, I feel flattered.

I went to the northwest for the first time in 2008 and stayed in Qinghai, Gansu for a while. When I eat, I can't help drinking. The first time I guessed coins with a local friend, he told me that when people in the northwest guessed coins, their thumbs were always stretched out. It's called a flag that can't fall.

I'm surprised to hear that. I have never heard of this rule before. Do as Romans do in Rome. Just guess with my friend according to the rules he said. You should bring your thumb when you make a phone call. Guess for a while, very embarrassed, very uncomfortable. You always make mistakes. If you make a mistake, you will be fined. On the one hand, there were too many fines that day, on the other hand, this friend in the northwest was very generous and drunk, and was drunk by others.

Of course, I am not convinced by this expert who guesses gold medals. I just want to practice. Next, I will not only drink with my friends in the northwest, but also drink with my fellow villagers. I also insist on "the banner will not fall", so I must practice hard and get them drunk with their rules.

In the northwest for several months, I have drunk many times, but I have never practiced "the banner will not fail". I have drunk many times and experienced the feeling of a foreigner coming to Henan.

When I was in the northwest, the biggest feeling was that people in the northwest were particularly worthy of making friends and were warm and generous. Most people drink a lot. When the wine is warm, I can see the sincerity and friendship in their eyes and words, and I can't help but give them a thumbs up.

The flag will not fall!

Last summer, I visited the Great Green-Gansu Ring Road in go on road trip. I used to go to the northwest on business, but I didn't have a deep understanding. This time, I really integrated myself into the amazing beauty and long history and culture of the northwest of the motherland. The deepest experience is as follows. First, the natural landforms and scenery in the northwest of China are no less than the national parks in the western United States. I have driven to Yellowstone National Park, Zion, Canyon Land, Brisley and other national parks in the United States before, and I have always appreciated people's natural scenery. I didn't know until I arrived in the northwest this time that the oriental landforms carved by nature were not inferior at all. The vast and mysterious ghost town of Ya Dan, colorful Danxia landform, colorful and bright salt lakes, etc. I want to go again. The second feeling is that the geography and culture in northwest China are deeply intertwined, which makes the journey more meaningful. Dunhuang murals show the outstanding talents of generations of literati, the tomb of Xixia tells the story of the rise and fall of a mysterious dynasty, and the Silk Road records the great plans of emperors in past dynasties to govern the northwest and trade with the world ... In short, the unique geographical features and rich historical humanities just blend together in the northwest, further stimulating tourists' desire to explore. I will also go to Xinjiang, Qinghai, Gansu and Ningxia when I have the opportunity to feel the geographical, historical and cultural wonders with my heart.

When I went to the northwest, I discovered the unique beauty of the northwest. When I didn't go to the northwest, I was limited to the knowledge in geography books. I thought that the natural conditions in the northwest were harsh, which often gave people the impression of desolation, poverty, drought and little rain.

I went to Tibet in 2007 and spent half a month in Xining. My friend drove us to Qinghai, Ningxia and Inner Mongolia. The rape flowers on Qinghai Lake are yellow, with a lot of honey and blue water. Last August, my friends and I took a walk on the Great Northwest Ring Road. The most beautiful scenery is on the road. Chaka Salt Lake, Emerald Lake, Delingha, Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, Mingsha Mountain Crescent Spring, Zhangye Colorful Danxia and Qilian Prairie are all breathtaking. I have seen barren saline-alkali land, 200 kilometers of no man's land, the most beautiful highway in Qaidam Basin, and experienced four seasons from spring to winter.

It only takes a few seconds to attract a person and keep a person in the northwest. It is desolate and full of vitality, it is lonely and lively, attracting everyone who comes here. Walking in the northwest can always give people a moment to re-recognize themselves and let their hearts rest in peace on this pure land. Even though I have been there countless times, I still can't bear the beauty and charm of the northwest, pure and broad-minded.

Northwest China, only personal experience can discover its great beauty!

20 16 went to visit Dunhuang in Zhangye, because it was a family of three, and explained to the travel agency that it was purely for fun and not for shopping. From Zhangye, Jiayuguan, Dunhuang to Xi, there is no shopping arrangement all the way. A van brought four families, and the little beauty guide directly said that I didn't earn your money, and it's a long way, so you just need to observe the time. What impressed us most was that we flew from Xi 'an to Zhangye and were picked up by Land Rover. Three people live in a suite with three bedrooms and one living room. There are cooking utensils and washing machines in the room. The room is clean and bright, and it feels like home. The food is big and delicious. I feel that this trip is too worthwhile and I have come to the right place. The beauty tour guide served well all the time, but she never mentioned shopping. Finally, the family suggested that she wanted to eat local specialties and watch performances. She shyly asked which one was in the car, and everyone was surprisingly consistent. Xiaomei arranged it very well. Everyone ate and watched, leaving a beautiful tour guide phone number and WeChat. Up to now, my daughter is still in contact with the beautiful tour guide and introduced many guests to her. Everyone's feedback is very good. This is somewhat similar to the red star Hongxing Erke. Be yourself and good luck will come naturally. I can't forget the people and beautiful scenery in the northwest.

Northwest people don't call it eating, but "killing";

The ass is called "hook";

Pork is called "big meat";

Nicknamed "Ga";

People in the northwest eat mutton in large chunks, a plate of two or three pounds;

Northwest people don't want food when drinking, or they have already drunk the wine before the food is served;

Northwest people like to eat the "serous surface" made by soup fermentation in summer;
