Where is the best place to travel in Gansu?

I used to be a tour guide, so the answers are relatively long, but I wrote them all myself. I hope they will be helpful to you.

Let’s talk about the Silk Road first - several aspects of food, accommodation, travel, shopping and entertainment:

The Silk Road is full of introductions on the Internet , I don't want to copy-paste. Coming from Shaanxi, the first tourist city on the Silk Road is Tianshui. Tianshui has the Maijishan Grottoes, one of the four largest grottoes in China, and the nearby Xianren Cliff Scenic Area is also very beautiful. There are also Buddhist grotto art attractions such as Elephant Mountain Grottoes (Gangu County) near Tianshui.

Tianshui is very unique, with unique scenery and climate, and many scenic spots. Mr. Jiang once wrote an inscription as "Hometown of Emperor Xi". Fuxi Temple is on the pedestrian street and is worth a visit; there are also Nanguo Temple and Yuquan Temple, both in the urban area, which are very convenient and unique. There are also Li Guangmu, Guatai Mountain, etc. near the city, all with historical origins~~

As for snacks, the snacks in Tianshui are great! Guagua, ranran, jelly, noodles... wow, saliva... And many people in Gansu say that the girls in Tianshui are relatively good, and they have the characteristics of the northwest, haha. Hotels in Tianshui are not very expensive, and none are too good. There are many clean and hygienic hotels with three stars or below. The transportation is very convenient. Almost all trains going to Gansu, Qinghai and Xinjiang do not stop in Tianshui. The starting price of a taxi in Tianshui may be 6 yuan. There are similar buses from the city to the Maijishan Grottoes. Tianshui’s Huaniu apples are famous, you can try them~

After that, it should be Lanzhou. I won’t say much about Lanzhou’s geographical location. What should you pay attention to when coming to Lanzhou? I have answered it before , I can tell you more now~

Lanzhou City is located at the junction of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the Loess Plateau, and has a temperate continental climate. The average altitude of the urban area is about 1520 meters. The average precipitation in February is 2.7 mm, and the average temperature is -1.0 degrees Celsius. However, it must be emphasized that Lanzhou cannot be considered a warm city just by looking at the average temperature, because the daily minimum temperature in Lanzhou in February can reach minus 17 degrees Celsius. This is due to the influence of Lanzhou's semi-plateau and semi-arid environment (high altitude, the temperature is lower than in low-altitude areas at the same latitude; dry atmosphere leads to reduced air warmth retention), resulting in a large temperature difference between day and night in Lanzhou, generally 12 degrees Celsius Around 16-18 degrees Celsius. So be sure to keep warm in the morning and evening. If you come in May, please be sure to prepare long-sleeved clothes. Moreover, due to the low precipitation and dry air, the human body loses water quickly. Please replenish water every day (you should drink at least 500ml of fresh water every day, about the amount of a bottle of pure water; if you are a beauty and skin care person, drink daily Use skin hydrating products).

In addition, Lanzhou’s average precipitation in May is about 33.2 mm, and the average temperature is about 17 degrees Celsius.

Generally, from the end of February to the middle of May, there may be blowing sand weather (occasionally sandstorms). If you are a woman, you can prepare a gauze scarf to keep warm when the weather is cold. It can prevent wind and sand when it is sandy. Please prepare rainproof equipment starting from the end of April. But at least until the end of June or the beginning of July, please prepare a single jacket to wear in the morning and evening to prevent catching a cold. The sunshine will be stronger from the end of April, so please bring sunscreen and other skin care products.

The above excerpts are from my past accepted answers on Baidu...

Let’s get to the point——

The most expensive tickets are no more than 20 yuan, and many are free.

As for eating, Lanzhou Beef Noodles is famous throughout the country, so you can enjoy it when you come here! ! ! Lanzhou beef noodles pay attention to one clear (clear soup), two white (white radish), three red (red chili oil), four green (green coriander, garlic sprouts), and five yellow (bright yellow noodles). It is also divided into different types of noodles and soups: dashi/clear soup; flenghui/regular high-quality...etc. Alas, I want to lead a group. This beef noodles alone will take at least nearly an hour... Come and experience it for yourself~~ In addition, there are glutinous rice, gray beans (these two are for drinking), stuffed skin, cold noodles, There are so many different kinds of noodles. Snack streets include Zhengning Road Night Market, Muta Alley, Jinta Alley, etc. The lilies in Lanzhou are the best in the country, and the roses are unique in the north~~!

Lanzhou is very convenient to live in. The streets are full of shopping malls, and there are also many 7 Days Inn and Super 8. There are four-star and five-star hotels, as well as express hotels. It’s up to you to decide where you want to stay. The starting price of a taxi is 7 yuan~~Most of the above attractions are in the city~~I don’t recommend going to the surrounding attractions. As for the mountain views, they are more or less the same.

Further to the northwest, there is Wuwei, known as "Gold Zhangye, Silver Wuwei". It was called Xiliang in ancient times and is the hometown of Ma Chao~~ Do you know the bronze galloping horse of Ma Ta Feiyan? Unearthed from the Leitai Han Tomb in Wuwei! It is a symbol of Chinese tourism! Starting from Wuwei, you can see the Qilian Mountains, which marks your entry into the Hexi Corridor area. The Wuwei Confucian Temple is also quite famous. There is a national treasure inside - a Xixia stone tablet, inscribed in pure Xixia script, which is quite precious! There is also the Luoshi Temple Pagoda on Wuwei North Street. The Wuwei Museum and Xixia Museum in the city are both worth a visit~~ There are also attractions such as Tiantishan Grottoes and Baita Temple nearby.

Accommodation in Wuwei is also very convenient~~There are also many hotels, mostly clean and cheap guest houses. Snacks include Wuwei noodles, Guojia cold noodles, etc. Liangzhou market is the largest snack distribution center, and there are There are many snacks in Qinjian Alley! The most famous specialty of Wuwei is the Mogao series of wines, and the Yellow River honeydew melons are also delicious and are specialties!

Continuing to the northwest, Jinchang is an emerging industrial city and is famous for its title of "Nickel City". Jinchuan Group Industrial Park is a tourist attraction, and I am not familiar with other places... Hehe, I am still a tour guide. I have not really visited Jinchang. After all, it is not a tourist city. However, Jinchang's per capita GDP is the highest in Gansu, and its economic development is very good.

Continuing to the northwest, Zhangye is the focus~~Main tourist attractions in Zhangye: Horseshoe Temple·Big Buddha Temple·Zhangye·Muta Temple·Zhangye Danxia Landform Danjun Racecourse·Shandan Xinheyi·Ganquan Park· Hexi University · Zhenyuan Tower · Sunan Kanglong Temple Hunting Ground · Zhangye Forest Park · Dongda Mountain · Longshou Mountain · Daoxiang Temple · Ganzhou Ancient Pagoda · Zhuge Tower · Dongshan Temple and West Wudang · Heishui Kingdom Ruins and Han Tombs ·Xu Sanwan City and Tombs·Douhou Fort·Minqin Guild Hall.

Zhangye Grand Buddha Temple is Zhangye’s trump card attraction, and you must see it when you go there. The Buddha has slept for more than nine hundred years! It is the largest indoor reclining Buddha in the country! The Horseshoe Temple and the Golden Pagoda Temple, which were founded in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, preserve sculptures and murals with extremely high cultural relic value. Other things worth seeing are the Shandan Military Horse Farm and the Heishui Kingdom Ruins~~

The current starting price of a taxi in Zhangye should be three yuan~~~ Specialties include Sunan wild mushrooms and Gaotai peppers , Linze jujube, Galaxy vermicelli, etc. are Zhangye specialties.

There are plenty of snacks! For example, there are rubbing fish roe, pulling slivers, braised noodles, stuffed skin, stir-fried crackers, pulled noodles, fish noodles, etc... By the way, Qilian wine is very famous. It is said that Qilian ice white wine is the best in the world!

Still northwest - Jiuquan. From Zhangye to Jiuquan all the way to Jiayuguan, you will see the snowy peaks of the Qilian Mountains! Hehe~~So beautiful! The main peak of the Altyn Mountains is 5,798 meters high. Jiuquan City has a semi-desert arid climate, which is characterized by an arid climate with little precipitation, strong evaporation and long sunshine, large temperature differences between cold winters and hot summers, cool autumns, droughts in springs, and windy sand. Temperature: The highest temperature throughout the year is ℃, the lowest is minus 31.6 ℃, and the average annual temperature is 7.9 ℃ (these are excerpted to remind you to pay attention to the climate). In addition, Dunhuang is under the jurisdiction of Jiuquan City.

Attractions: The Jiuquan Park of the Western Han Dynasty in the city is located 1.9 kilometers east of the Drum Tower. It is a must-see. The other is the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, also known as the "Dongfeng Aerospace City", but it is quite remote. Yes, the procedures are quite strict and troublesome. In addition, active duty military personnel and reporters are not allowed to visit. Then there is the Transparent Mengke Glacier, which is currently the closest glacier to the city. It is very beautiful, but it is not very convenient to get there.

As a tourist city, accommodation is not a problem, so I won’t say more. The most famous specialty is the "Jiuquan Luminous Cup". "Glow-in-the-dark cup of grape wine. If you want to drink, play the pipa immediately. Lord Don't laugh while lying drunk on the battlefield. How many people have fought in ancient times." It has been introduced in the poem~~ As for the snacks! 1. Crispy fire-roasted buns 2. Crispy steamed buns (also called sugar cake steamed buns) 3. Oil tarts 4. Oil mice 5. Sweet water steamed buns (also called canned steamed buns) 6. Fried buns 7. Guokui 8. Sweet rice yellow 9 , Zao dry food 10, hot cakes and oil cakes, as well as hot bean flour, steamed rice noodles, kang sheep intestines, mixed juice, fat coating, meat and vegetable gluten, etc...

Still northwest—— This time the northwest one is not too far, only 21 kilometers, and we reach Jiayuguan City. As the name suggests, it is because here is the final pass of the Great Wall - Jiayuguan Pass! It is a world-class cultural heritage. Every time I take a group there, I stand on the Jiayuguan Gate Tower and look at the majestic Qilian Snow Mountains in the distance. I am full of pride! "The bright moon rises above the Tianshan Mountains, among the vast sea of ??clouds." This is how I feel! ! ! Xiongguan + Xiongshan = Extremely majestic...

P.S. Now it seems that Jiayuguan has also been upgraded to a 5A-level scenic spot. Jiayuguan gliding base is one of the three largest gliding bases in the world, along with the Great Wall, the Great Wall Museum, the gallery under the Wei and Jin cemeteries, the Qiyi Glacier, etc...

Jiayuguan is one of the top tourist cities in Gansu. It is clean and tidy, and because of the Jiuquan Iron and Steel Group, the per capita GDP is the highest in Gansu. So accommodation and shopping are very convenient. Jiayuguan has an airport, railways and highways, and the transportation is very convenient... When it comes to snacks, Jiayuguan barbecue is a must-have in Gansu. There are also braised pork noodles, stir-fried noodles, trouser belt noodles, etc... The specialty is camel hair. Paintings and Jiayu stone inkstones~~

Quickly leave the northwest of the province - Dunhuang! I am a dear mother. I don’t think I need to say much about this place. It is a place that all Chinese people should visit once in their lifetime. There are too many introductions, and I feel pale and helpless here...

< p>Don’t worry about accommodation or transportation! What I want to say is, Shazhou Night Market! Those who have been on CCTV programs, Dunhuang’s special night market, there are so many delicious food and beauties! Haha, P.S. Many tour bus drivers in Dunhuang recommended to me - Dang Dang Dang Dang - hot and sour fried lamb tripe! ! ! Delicious! This thing should only be found in heaven, it is rare to taste it in the world... a specialty? Silk blanket! The price of good silk blankets is quite high, priced per square (inch) inch per US dollar... Then there are Dunhuang apocynum products.

Gannan—one of the ten Tibetan autonomous prefectures in the country. The altitude within the territory is 1100-4900 meters, with most areas above 3000 meters. The capital of the autonomous prefecture is Hehe City (county level). The Hehe Temple in the northern suburbs of Hehe City has Milarepa Pagoda, which is one of the famous Tibetan Buddhist temples in the Amdo area and is a Tibetan fortress-style nine-story building. The traditional Buddha Showing Festival, Arrow-inserting Festival, Xianglang Festival, traditional ethnic sports games, Shambhala Tourism and Art Festival, etc., display the unique folk customs of Hehe City from different aspects. In addition, there is the famous Xiahe Labrang Monastery. Labrang Monastery is one of the six main monasteries of the Yellow Sect (Gelug Sect) of Tibetan Buddhism (the others are Ganden Monastery, Sera Monastery, Drepung Monastery, Tashilhunpo Monastery in Tibet and Kumbum Monastery in Qinghai) . The scene in "A World Without Thieves" in which Andy and Milk Tea steal mobile phones was shot in the large square in front of Labrang Monastery. For an introduction to Labrang Monastery, you can refer to -/view/1662.htm?fr=ala0_1_1

In addition, there are many introductions on the Internet about Tibet, Tibetan Buddhism, etc. If you are interested, you can read it yourself. You can't blame me for being lazy. I took a group to Qinghai and Gannan, and these things were enough for me to talk about in the car for three hours (as evidenced by the drivers of many tourist buses). I really can't tell you clearly at this moment. You can give a rough reference - /view/27879.htm?fr=ala0_1_1

The Tibetan language can be divided according to dialects. The entire Tibetan area can be divided into three areas: the Uyghur-Tibetan dialect area (centered in Lhasa, radiating The surrounding areas include most areas in Tibet), the Kangzang dialect area (eastern Tibet, northwestern Yunnan, western Sichuan and southeastern Qinghai) and the Amdo dialect area.

Most of Gannan and Qinghai belong to the Amdo Tibetan speaking area. Let me teach you a few words in Amdo Tibetan!

Hello - Qiude (dei) Mo

Thank you - Guazanqi

Goodbye - Dei Mo

Remember to connect and read faster. In addition, the Tibetans here do not call monks Lamas, but "Akha".

In addition, there are Sangke Grassland, Dalzong Lake (it’s just Dazong Lake, it’s called by different names), Zecha Stone Forest, etc. Another thing that needs to be highlighted is the Yeliguan Scenic Area in Lintan County, which is known as the Back Garden of Lanzhou. It costs about 230 yuan to take a tour from Lanzhou. The two-day trip includes scenic spots such as Yehai Tianchi, Xiangzigou-Huangjianzi National Forest Park, Chibi Valley, etc. In addition, there is the "first bend of the Yellow River in the world" in Maqu County - the first bend of the Yellow River. You can see the clear water of the Yellow River - in fact, the water of the Yellow River in Lanzhou is clear every winter, but it is definitely difficult for outsiders to see it. It’s just the Yellow River that’s not yellow~.

As for transportation, accommodation, and other matters needing attention, the article on the above website explains it in detail, so there is no need to go into details.

Longnan is the only Yangtze River Basin region in Gansu and the only southern region among the four major geographical regions in Gansu. It is called "Longshang Jiangnan". The climate and scenery are quite good (of course, this is for the northern region). And it has a very long history. For example, Du Fu once lived in Chengxian County; Qin Gong Cemetery in Dabaozi Mountain in Li County is one of the four major cemeteries of the Qin royal family. It is the historical "West Dog Hill" place and the birthplace of the Qin people. There is also Qishan Mountain located at the junction of Xihe and Li County, which is where Zhuge Liang left Qishan Mountain for the sixth time!

In general, Longnan’s tourism resources are very good and abundant, but to be honest, the scenic spots in Longnan are scattered and not concentrated, and the transportation in Longnan is very backward. There is currently no expressway, and the national highways are also mountain roads. In most cases, transportation is really inconvenient. Accommodation is more convenient, because many hotels (or guest houses) in the county have high vacancy rates and cheap prices. The starting price of a taxi is between 3 to 5 yuan. As for snacks, there are quite a few, such as rice wrappers, dough wrappers, potato dumplings, glutinous rice flour fish (made from cornmeal), glutinous rice noodles, etc. Although I have lived in Longnan for many years and am very sentimental, I have to say that the economic development of Longnan is still very backward and requires hard work. Therefore, there is a certain connection between the local food culture and the economy. The above snacks taste good, but the production Relatively simple and low cost. The meals of many rural families in Longnan can be described as extremely simple. Therefore, there is a jingle to describe Longnan: "The beautiful mountains and clear waters are not beautiful, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, but the rice is not fragrant." It is also a true portrayal of Longnan... It’s a fact...)

Finally, in summary, the conclusion is -

1. First, push the silk route! 2. If you have time after visiting the Silk Road, it is recommended to travel to Gannan.

3. Come back to Longnan when you have another chance...

The above answer is the only one in the entire network. If there is a citation, please be sure to indicate that it is from this place, thank you!
