Gansu Family Road Trip Day 2|Prehistoric Giants Singing Flower Songs

​​Fossil Hunter➕Flower Song Singer➕BBQ Master Kids unlock three identities in one day❗ This summer vacation was definitely worth it. . ⏰10:30 Travel back 30 million years!​​ 📍 Hezheng Ancient Animal Fossil Museum​​ (Photos 2-7) Who would have thought Gansu hides such a low-key yet treasure-filled museum? Not just kids, even adults are amazed by the "Top Ten World Records" here. The giant rhino skull​​ is taller than a 6-year-old child, and the shovel tusks of the shovel-tusked elephant look like slides. Turns out the elephant slide in the park is actually realistic! . ⏰12:30 Lunch above the clouds 📍 Hezheng Xingyu Cloud Scenic Area (Photos 1, 8-10) At over 2000 meters above sea level, sit in the mountaintop restaurant with 270° floor-to-ceiling windows. The view is unbeatable, clouds at your feet, appetite and mood both great. The roasted potatoes smell amazing; peel off the crispy skin and dip in spicy noodles or cumin. This is truly the taste of heaven😋. . ⏰15:00 Mountains and “Flower Songs” are the perfect match 📍 Songmingyan Scenic Area (Photos 11-12) On the sun-drenched hillside grass, intangible cultural heritage inheritors teach on-site! Learn the Flower folk songs line by line with the teacher. Singing in the Gansu accent brings the songs to life. . ⏰19:00 BBQ Night Feast 📍 Yeliguan Ama Zhoucuo Hotel (Photos 13-15) The hotel’s design and vacation vibe are top-notch; enjoy the cool summer evening breeze. Feast on soul-stirring BBQ and cured meat stewed with noodle slices. Watch the sunset and evening glow slowly disappear behind the mountains... . 🏁 Self-driving route Yongjing → Hezheng (1.5h) → Xingyu Cloud (30min, with a short mountain winding road) → Songmingyan Scenic Area (10min) → Yeliguan (1.5h)
