I thought Guilin was beautiful enough until I came to Longyangxia...

📍Location: Longyangxia Town, Qinghai Province ⛰️Located in Longyangxia Town, Gonghe County, Qinghai Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, it is situated between Yangqu Hydropower Station and Laxiwa Hydropower Station in the upper reaches of the Yellow River. It is approximately 1️⃣4️⃣1️⃣ km long and covers an area of 8️⃣6️⃣0️⃣ square kilometers. 🚗Transportation: It's a 2️⃣-hour drive 🚗 from Xining. You can also come from Kanbula along the upper reaches of the Yellow River. Recommended nearby scenic spots: Longyangxia Grand Canyon Scenic Area, Longyangxia Earth Forest Geological Park, Longyangxia Dongda Mountain Scenic Area, Longyangxia Cruise Exploration Area, Longyangxia Cliff Viewing Area, Longyangxia Characteristic Town, Longyangxia Dangjia Temple Scenic Area🎈 Ticket🎫: CNY30 [Core Scenic Area]👇 1️⃣Longyang🐑Lake: The lake water💦 is azure blue, and the reflection on the shore is very beautiful on a sunny day. There are large cruise ships that take tourists around the lake. There are stone carvings of dragon heads and sheep heads on the pier, which should be the symbol of Longyangxia. 2️⃣Longyang🐑Grand Canyon: This is the first canyon in the Yellow River canyon area. The canyon mouth is only 3️⃣0️⃣ meters wide, and the granite on both sides is almost 2️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ meters high, which is very steep. As early as the last century, the Longyangxia Hydropower Station, known as the "First Dam of the Yellow River," was built. An 8️⃣-kilometer wooden boardwalk has been built, and tourists can further explore the Grand Canyon. The water at the bottom of the valley is green. 3️⃣Dongda⛰️Mountain Scenic Area: Located above the Grand Canyon, it is the best place to enjoy the Grand Canyon. There is a 1️⃣0️⃣0️⃣-mu self-driving campground with cafes and necessary service facilities. Nearby recreational activities also include watching plateau mini rabbits🐰, peacocks🦚, and popular science activities to learn about desert plants such as red willow and poplar! 💙The best time to visit Qinghai is from April to October. You must go to Longyangxia in this lifetime to see the healing blue color. It is truly a treasure secret of the Qinghai-Gansu loop line!
