Where is the beauty of Gansu in Hexi Corridor?

Hexi Corridor seems to be a common place name.

But in fact, the beauty of Gansu,

Half of them are in Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture. "You have traveled all over Gannan, why Tibet".

The other half is it!

This land has indescribable beauty:

Qilian Mountain Snow Mountain is white, Monk Glacier is blue, Shandan Grassland is green, folk rape is yellow, and Zhangye Danxia is colorful. ...

You don't understand beauty.

You know,

Maybe I have recited all kinds of ancient poems since I was a child.

The solitary smoke in the desert and the iron horse in the poem constitute your first impression of it.

Too many people know it, but too many people misunderstand it, and too many people miss its true beauty.

Starting from Lanzhou, it crosses Wushaoling, the boundary between Loess Plateau and Hexi Plain, and enters Hexi Corridor from southeast to northwest.

Route: Lanzhou-Wuwei-Jinchang-Zhangye-Jiuquan-Jiayuguan-Dunhuang-Yumenguan

Best travel time: May -65438+ 10 month.

Lanzhou

Liujiaxia

Liujiaxia is the first gorge of the Yellow River, 78 kilometers away from Lanzhou City. The water of the Yellow River turns sharply 90 degrees here, and then flows westward through the canyon.

The turbid Yellow River water in geography textbooks has become clear and blue after the precipitation of Liujiaxia Reservoir. If you don't say it, can you imagine that this is the Yellow River water?

Qingcheng ancient town

According to legend, this town was built by Di Qing during his border patrol in the Song Dynasty, so it is called Qingcheng Mountain. Shanxi merchants in Beijing and Tianjin frequently come and go, and the buildings are antique.

Folk houses have both the luxurious atmosphere of Shanxi mansion and the elegant symmetry of Beijing quadrangle. If you spend the night in the ancient town in midsummer, you can smell the lotus fragrance of hundreds of acres of lotus ponds in the town.

Bitter water rose town

Seeing a lot of lavender flowers, it is better to come to bitter water to see the sea of roses! Bitter water is the hometown of roses in China, and the sea of roses is spectacular.

The city flower of Lanzhou is bitter water rose, and bitter water town has the largest rose production base, and the rose with big leaves is not worse than Bulgaria.

Wuwei

Sanxia Forest Park of Tianzhu

Tianzhu Three Gorges is located in the southwest of Tianzhu Tibetan Autonomous County, deep in the hinterland of Qilian Mountain. The Three Gorges refer to Zhucha Gorge, Jinsha Gorge and Xianming Gorge.

The territory has high mountains and deep valleys, peculiar landforms, steep mountains and rugged rocks. Unique ethnic customs, strong religious color.

Baita Temple of Liangzhou

Baita Temple, a Tibetan Buddhist temple built in Yuan Dynasty, also known as Huanhua Temple, is one of the four Tibetan Buddhist temples in Liangzhou.

It consists of temples, pagodas, Tallinn and other buildings. At the beginning of the temple construction, it was spectacular from a distance, because there was a big pagoda in the temple and there were 99 small pagodas around it.

Maya Snow Mountain

Maya Snow Mountain got its name because it looks like a horse tooth. The main peak is Baida, which means the highest Xumi Mountain. Looking up at the snow-capped mountains, like a beautiful woman in gauze.

But it is not a real snow mountain, just because the surface of the rock is white and looks like snow from a distance. At the foot of the mountain is a shady meadow, and horses are running in the sound of pastoral songs.

Tianchi is embraced by cliffs and looks like a crescent moon. The water in the pool is clear and blue, and the seasons are as usual. Herdsmen regard it as a sacred pool.

Jinchang

Badain Jaran Desert

If you haven't been to the desert, you can't really understand the grandeur and magnificence of the vast ocean, and you can't really understand life.

From Jinchang to Badain Jaran Desert, the third largest desert in China, there are the highest sand mountains in the world, spectacular sand singing areas, dotted with lakes, oases and desert temples.

Cocoze Lee

The ancient city of Li Gan is famous for its scattered soldiers from ancient Rome and China in the Western Han Dynasty. Jackie Chan's movie "Heavenly Admiral" was inspired by this.

Next to Jinshan Temple, a China-style building, is the ancient Roman-style Li Gan City. Now, two thousand years of wind and frost have passed, and vigorous stories are scattered all over the ancient city with the wind.

Zhangye

Marans, Shandan Army

Shandan Military Horse Farm is located in the middle of Hexi Corridor, the Damaying grassland at the northern foot of Lenglongling in Qilian Mountain, which spans Gansu and Qinghai provinces. It is the oldest and largest racecourse in the world.

In summer, the racecourse is green and blooming everywhere, while in autumn it is golden. When driving horses at night, thousands of horses galloped on it, dusty and thundering, not to mention how exciting it was.

Zhangye Qicai Danxia

No gorgeous flowers, no lush scenery, only colorful scenery. Here is a touch of colorful rouge in the world-colorful Danxia in Zhangye.

Being here, colorful colors have a great impact on vision, and various folds and continuous ups and downs set each other off, which is fascinating!

Malattia beige

Horseshoe Temple, located in Sunan Yugur Autonomous County, Zhangye, is a temple integrating grotto art, Qilian scenery and Yugur customs.

Here, you can see spectacular caves, most of which are carved by mountains, with unique shapes and simple elegance.

Qilian Mountains

This mountain range, which frequently appears in Chinese textbooks and poems, is primitive and pure, some in Qinghai and most in Zhangye.

After the long summer, the mountains, forests and grasslands are all green, but the top of the mountain is covered with snow. Glaciers that don't melt all the year round are more magnificent under the sunshine.

Zhangye wetland park

It is located in the middle of Hexi Corridor, above the delta formed by alluvial fans of Heihe River, with a large area of lakes, reeds, trees and flowers.

Birds migrate here in spring, lotus flowers bloom in summer, reeds fall in autumn and hundreds of miles of snow in winter, which is nothing like the northwest.

Jiuquan

Monk glacier

Transparent Monk Glacier is a snow-capped mountain interrupted by Qilian Mountain, and it is the largest valley glacier in Qilian Mountain. On both sides of the glacier are towering snow mountains.

Going up, the magnificent glaciers are at your feet, and the vast snowfields are endless. Under the refraction of all kinds of light, the glacier emits a faint blue color.

Yangguan

Yangguan, an important gateway of the Central Plains to the Western Regions and Central Asia on the Silk Road, is a barrier of water and a danger of a river, echoing the north and south of Yumenguan.

"I advise you to drink more wine, there is no reason to go out to the west." This ancient city, which has been recited by literati in the past dynasties, has adhered to the last lighthouse for thousands of years.

Ya Dan ghost town

Different from the colorful Danxia landform in Zhangye, the magnificent, majestic and labyrinthine wind erosion landform of Ya Dan Geopark can only be appreciated in person.

The compass doesn't work here. After nightfall, the wind is as creepy as the roar of thousands of wild animals. The title of "ghost town" is not groundless.

Jiayuguan

Jiayuguan fortress

Jiayuguan is the best pass in the world, and every pavilion and brick here is quietly telling the vicissitudes of history.

Looking from the upstairs, the blue sky, snow-capped mountains and Gobi are all historical witnesses.

Xu' anbi Great Wall

The Great Wall hanging on the wall is a section left in the north of Jiayuguan Mountain, which is commonly known as the' Great Wall hanging on the wall' because it blocks the entrance of Shi Guan Xia.

Tourists climb stairs, the flat place is like stepping on the ground, and the steep place is like climbing a cliff, which is a bit like the Badaling Great Wall in Beijing.

Dunhuang

Mogao Grottoes

Mogao Grottoes, commonly known as Thousand Buddha Cave, is located in Dunhuang at the western end of Hexi Corridor. A grotto here is a world, a cave and a period of history.

As long as you enter a grotto, the murals, sculptures, Tibetan scriptures, legends ... everything is a story and everything is addictive.

Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Spring

Crescent spring is named because the water surface looks like a crescent moon. Surrounded by yellow sand, the spring water is clear and beautiful, capturing people's hearts.

The continuous sand mountain, the splendid sunset, the Mingsha Mountain in Huang Chengcheng and the clear crescent spring water are interdependent, and the strange and charming scenery stretches for thousands of years.

Huang Du ancient city ruins

It is a pearl on the Silk Road and was once a prosperous port in western China. As the name implies, it is magnificent, but it has become a thing of the past.

Although it has collapsed, it still retains a lot of western customs, leaving a faint beauty in various film and television dramas.

Yumen Pass

Speaking of Yumenguan, a poem will definitely pop up in my mind: "Why should the flute blame the willow? The spring breeze is just Yumenguan".

The desolate artistic conception in the poem can only be understood more deeply here in Yumenguan. It's getting late, and there's an unparalleled feeling.

This is the Hexi Corridor, which is neither delicate nor delicate, but beautiful and simple.

In the best season, meet here, wait for a sunset, and listen to a period of time when the bright moon was in the sky and the Han Dynasty was closed. ......

Camel bells are long in Hexi Corridor.

Living here is becoming wider and wider.
