An underestimated niche treasure route in Gansu.

🎉The niche travel to the northwest is here! 7 days in Tianshui + Lintan + Pingliang, with few people and beautiful scenery, just listen to the advice~ 🏞️The Maijishan Grottoes, one of the four largest grottoes in China, the clear water and blue sky of Guan'e Valley, and Kongtong Mountain, the highest Taoist mountain in the world, every frame is the king of likes in the circle of friends! 🍜Tianshui Malatang, one bowl will make you come alive! 🔸Xizhaosong: The scenic area is a typical karst landform canyon scenery. You can walk along the plank road throughout the whole journey. There is no climbing difficulty. You will occasionally pass by mountains, rivers, waterfalls, pavilions, bridges, corridors, and pavilions. The overall beauty is beautiful and it is a natural oxygen bar. 🔸Wanxiang Cave: As soon as you enter the Wanxiang Cave, you feel like you have stepped into a mysterious underground palace. The strange rocks in the cave are jagged, and stalactites, stalagmites, and stone pillars have different shapes. Some are like fairies descending to earth, some are like giant dragons taking off, and some are like Arhats meditating. It is really amazing! 🌟👀Under the light, these stones exude a charming brilliance, colorful and dreamlike. 🔸Guanyegou: The scenic area covers an area of ​​66 square kilometers and consists of Guanzhu Valley, Leigu Snow Mountain, and Emanggou. The top of the mountain is covered with snow all year round, and there are three large waterfalls flowing down 5,000 feet in the canyon, as well as several small waterfalls, and several Wuhuatan waters at the bottom of the valley that are 1,000 feet deep. 🔸Maijishan Grottoes: This is one of the four major grottoes. Compared with the other three (Yungang, Mogao, and Longmen), it is the least famous, but it is the most special‼ ️Because these are stone carvings and murals carved on a cliff of more than 140 meters, "whose wheat stacks are a hundred fathoms high, and flying stacks are floating in the sky" can't be more suitable. I sincerely admire the ancient craftsmanship📖 🔸Fuxi Temple: In ancient times, there were three emperors, namely the Emperor Fuxi, the Emperor Shennong, and the Emperor Xuanyuan. Fuxi was the head of the three emperors. Tianshui, Gansu Province, is the birthplace of Fuxi, the founder of humanities, and one of the important birthplaces of ancient Chinese civilization. Therefore, when you come to Tianshui, you must visit this "No. 1 Temple in China". 🔸Kongtong Mountain: It is the birthplace of Kongtong martial arts and one of the birthplaces of Taoist culture. Kongtong martial arts, together with Shaolin, Wudang, Emei and Kunlun, are known as the five famous martial arts schools in my country. "Kongtong martial arts are powerful in the western border!" The Kongtong martial arts described by Jin Yong are unpredictable, mysterious and strange. During the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Sanfeng once lived in seclusion in Cangsong Ridge of Kongtong Mountain, where he realized the true meaning of the Tao and became a highly virtuous man. Zuo Zongtang and Tan Sitong in the Qing Dynasty also visited Kongtong. They lamented its beauty and left poems that have been passed down to this day. Recommended itinerary: D1: Arrive at "Jincheng" Lanzhou D2: Lanzhou—Chefucheng County—Xishasong—Zhucheng County D3: Chengxian—Wanxiang Cave—Zhudangchang D4: Dangchang - Guan'egou - live in Tianshui D5: Tianshui – Maijishan Grottoes – Fuxi Temple – Tianshui Ancient City – Live in Tianshui D6: Tianshui—Kongtong Mountain—Living in Pingliang D7: Pingliang-Lanzhou
