What are the interesting attractions of the Great Northwest Tourist Route Raiders?

During the summer vacation, many friends plan to travel to the northwest, which is a place that many people yearn for. They can feel the beauty of desert, long river and yen, and feel the grandeur and desolation of northwest China. So what are the interesting places in the northwest?

1. Route 1

West-Lanzhou-Xining-Qinghai Lake-Menyuan-Folk Music-Zhangye-Jiayuguan-Dunhuang

The road conditions are good, this is the most recommended road section in July, and the scenery along the way can't be more beautiful!

2. Route 2

Xi 'an-Lanzhou-Xining-Qinghai Lake-Menyuan-Yeniugou-Sunan-Zhangye-Jiayuguan-Dunhuang

The road condition of Yeniugou-Sunan section is poor, which requires high vehicles, but it has oil painting scenery.

Almost all the landscapes and cultures you can imagine are gathered here, such as the vast Qilian grassland, the blue Qinghai Lake, the pure sky Chaka Salt Lake, the towering emerald Mount Everest Snow Mountain, the desolate and vast desert Gobi, the magical and strange Ya Dan landform, the passionate colorful Danxia and the desert camel team at sunset. Here, set foot on the forbidden area of Hoh Xil, feel the preciousness of life, explore the Millennium cultural treasures of mankind in the Mogao Grottoes, and climb Jiayuguan at the westernmost end of the Great Wall in Wan Li.

Xi'an

Blue bricks and gray tiles, full of charm.

Everyone who yearns for Xi 'an may have an ancient capital complex. This city carries too much history. Terracotta warriors and horses symbolize the prosperity of Daqin. Huaqingchi witnessed a touching love story. The Big Wild Goose Pagoda listens to Master Xuanzang's Sanskrit.

Lanzhou

North-northwest, drunk Lanzhou.

In Lanzhou, you don't need to rush to see the scenery, the bustling and tacky city life, order a bowl of beef noodles in the morning, watch the sunset in Baita Mountain at night, sit casually on both sides of the Yellow River, and sheepskin rafts float in the river. The style of the Yellow River is self-evident.

Xining

Gold against the blue sky and green grass

Xining, a corner of the west, has clear lakes, blue sky, vast pastures and sunny days. Every midsummer, golden rape blossoms are in full bloom, like a golden ocean under the blue sky.

Its blue is like the sea.

Qinghai Lake in July is as clear as a tear on the plateau. Driving by the lake is like walking into a natural oil painting, with a large area of bright yellow flowers, as if the yellow on God's palette had been knocked over on earth.

Qinghai Lake

Qinghai gourmet center

It seems that every big city has representative food streets, such as Jinli in Chengdu, Huimin Street in the west and Hubu Lane in Wuhan, where many local snacks are gathered.

Mojia Street is a famous local food street with a long history. Here, you can taste all kinds of western food in one stop, such as stuffed skin, candied fruit, mutton sausage noodles and hand-grabbed mutton.

Hundred-mile rape flowers at the foot of snow-capped mountains

Every July, Menyuan is the most beautiful place, and the sea of flowers makes Menyuan a magnificent and unique spectacle. The cauliflower in Huang Cancan is partly mixed with the green of highland barley. Compared with the small jasper in Wuyuan, this is a magnificent place that everyone yearns for.

Menyuan

Important Pass of Hexi Corridor

Minle County, a scenic county in Hexi Corridor, is permeated with strong northwest customs everywhere. There is a mountain pass that can't be missed. It stretches for thousands of miles from east to west in the Qilian Mountains and runs through the north and south valleys. It's called Pingdukou, and there are rape flowers comparable to the gate source.

Xanadu in Northwest Plateau

Yeniugou is very long, the road is not easy to walk, there are few tourists, and the natural environment is well maintained. The beautiful scenery along the way will make people forget the bumpy road. There is also the famous Bayi Glacier in China, which is the source of the Heihe River Basin.

Yeniugou

Qilian Mountain in the sky, colorful Danxia.

From Qilian to Sunan, few self-driving tourists come here because of poor road conditions. It is the only Yugur Autonomous County in China, which concentrates the beauty of the West. There are magical ice ditches and Danxia, snowy meadows, towering glaciers, blue sky and white clouds.

The vast hills, almost barren, seem to be woven with various colored stripes, like oil paintings, and the deeper the scenery, the more beautiful and spectacular it is. Inside, everything around you is so magical and incredible.

Zhang Guobing is integrated into the western region.

Zhangye Danxia landform is famous all over the world, and the seven-color dreamland here can crush any similar Danxia landform in the world. It is the most dreamy place on the earth, which has experienced great changes for hundreds of millions of years at a glance, from pre-Jurassic to Tertiary about 2 million years ago.

Zhangye

, the world's first.

Boarding the gatehouse, from a distance, the overgrown Gobi desert outside the customs is quite spectacular in the cold wind, and the plaque of "the first pass in the world" stands tall. At present, there is an endless Gobi, and the towering cinnabar tower is particularly majestic against the snowy peaks of Qilian Mountain.

Jiayuguan

China cultural treasures

Dunhuang is a node city of the Silk Road. Dunhuang has deserts, Gobi, Buddha caves halfway up the mountain, ancient roads and Populus euphratica that have crossed the Millennium. In Dunhuang, there is a romantic moon at the end of the desert and a story of the Millennium Silk Road.
