The weather of horseshoe temple on the 20th.

During the trip in Hexi Corridor, we can always meet ancient cities and historic sites with a long history. If I have to choose one of these ancient cities I like best, then Zhangye must be one of them.

Why does Zhang Ye make me like it? Because it is almost the most advantageous one in Hexi Corridor. Compared with Wuwei, Zhangye's traffic is more convenient; Compared with Jiayuguan Zhangye, the scenic spots are more abundant; Compared with Dunhuang, Zhangye's food is more distinctive and has more categories, so Zhangye, which combines many advantages, will definitely surprise you.

So how to arrange your trip to Zhangye? Let's stop and share some travel tips, hoping to help your trip to Zhangye.

How many days is Zhang Ye suitable for playing? How to play?

In my opinion, Zhang Ye needs at least chat time. If you want to play deeply, it will take at least 3-5 days. How can we appreciate the charm of Zhang Ye?

Day 1: Punching in Danxia Landform

When you arrive in Zhangye, the most important thing you can't miss is to look at the landform here. If you like online celebrities a little, you can go to the colorful Danxia scenic spot in Zhangye, where you can see the special landforms formed over hundreds of millions of years. Photos with strong color sense can be excluded when the weather is good.

Of course, if you don't punch in the scenic spots among online celebrities, then "Binggou Danxia" and Pingshan Lake Grand Canyon can also let you see the scenery of Danxia and Canyon. Although there are no colorful colors here, you can see more colorful Danxia shapes.

Generally speaking, two scenic spots are just enough for a day's trip. You can choose to go to Pingshan Lake Grand Canyon first, then visit colorful Danxia, and you can stay until sunset at ten o'clock, and you can also watch a Danxia sunset by the way.

The next day: Go and see the ancient grottoes in China.

The next day, you can go out early to have a look at the Horseshoe Temple Grottoes, which are the oldest grottoes in China. After all, it is an important grotto relic of Liangzhou model.

Although there are few statues and murals preserved in the horseshoe temple, the caves that used to be built by many craftsmen are well preserved, so it is worthwhile to walk around these caves with your feet.

In fact, Horseshoe Temple is located in Yugur area in Sunan, so what you can't miss when you come to Horseshoe Temple is to experience Yugur culture, and you can also wear their local costumes to take pictures as a souvenir. It is also a very good experience.

The third day: punch in the well-preserved historical sites in the city and appreciate the charm of Zhangye ancient town.

If you plan to stay in Zhangye for one more day, you can go to the old city of Zhangye and look for historical sites listed as national cultural protection units here.

Go to the crossroads to see the Drum Tower, which was built in the Ming Dynasty. This is the largest drum tower in Hexi Corridor and the best preserved drum tower. Walking around the Drum Tower, you will feel that time seems to have returned to Zhangye at that time, and businessmen from south to north gather here, which looks very lively.

You can also walk from the Drum Tower to the Great Buddha Temple, the most important scenic spot in Zhangye City. The Great Buddha Temple is an important relic of the Xixia period and a temple built by the royal family in previous dynasties. Here, we can see the remains of the ancient Silk Road, the most distinctive of which is the largest existing Xixia Buddhist temple in China-the Great Buddha Hall, the largest indoor wooden-tire clay sculpture reclining Buddha and the most complete first edition of Yongle Beizang.

After visiting the Buddha Temple, you can go to the wooden pagoda not far away. As a national key cultural protection unit, it was founded in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and was renovated in Yongle in Ming Dynasty and Kangxi in Qing Dynasty. Now it has become the oldest temple in Zhangye, but it seems to be less popular than the Big Buddha Temple. But it will still be full of surprises to see the wooden tower and some preserved stone tablets.
