The severely underestimated treasure city on the Hexi Corridor

✨ As one of the four counties of Hexi, Wuwei does not seem to be as well-known as Zhangye and Dunhuang. But it's the place where you come without expectations and leave reluctantly. There are many highlights in Wuwei. If you can calm down and explore and experience them one by one, what will be left for you will be surprises and expectations again. 👌Must-visit attractions: 📍Leitai Han Tomb As the place where the symbol of Chinese tourism - "Horse Stepping on Flying Swallow" was unearthed, its influence cannot be underestimated. From the inscribed bronzes and the bronze chariot and horse parade, the scroll of Eastern Han history unfolds one by one, vividly reappearing~ 📍Jiumoluo Temple A thousand-year-old temple, with lingering Sanskrit sounds, its name comes from a Western Region monk, and this monk is the world-renowned Jiumoluo. He was the first person in the history of Chinese Buddhism to systematically and deeply spread Buddhist scriptures in Chinese, opening a new era in the history of translation. Here you can see the grand architecture of Buddhism. 📍Wuwei Xixia Museum Although the Xixia Dynasty did not exist for a long time in Chinese history, it left countless precious artworks and many advanced production methods. The Xixia script created by Yuanhao and Yeli Renrong brought infinite glory to this history and this nation. 📍Confucius Temple The location of the Confucius Temple is next to the Xixia Museum. Wuwei Confucius Temple maintains the "three-legged" overall pattern of temple and school integration, Wenchang Palace and Confucius Temple are different but harmonious, playing the dual functions of worshiping Confucius and imparting Confucian culture, and it is a key cultural relics protection unit. 📍South City Gate Square This is where you can see the "Liangzhou" city gate. The evening wind does bring a chill, and if you're waiting to take night photos, be sure to put on a jacket. The towering city gate, the urgent sound of the frontier horse hooves, and the history of the wind and clouds seem to reappear one by one. 📍Desert Park This desert park is more than 20 kilometers away from the city, but it is also worth exploring. Walk into the trail (you can also ride a sightseeing car), go deep all the way, the desert theme park is in it, there are streets, inns, shops full of Western Region style, it's great for taking photos and checking in. 👌Accommodation recommendation: I highly recommend the Civil Aviation Travel Tianma Pearl Hotel, it's not far to take a taxi to various attractions, and the hotel surroundings are very quiet, you can take a taxi at the door, the internal environment facilities and services are great. The breakfast restaurant is bright and spacious, with a variety of meals, and the overall layout of the room is simple and clear, very user-friendly, I will choose it again next time I go to Wuwei. 👌Food recommendation: In addition to the hotel's meals, the halal restaurants on the street near the Confucius Temple are really good, one of which I ate at for a whole day, with a rich variety of meals, a full range of noodles, rice is also available, beef and mutton are generous in portion, but I don't remember the name. 🍃 The trip to Wuwei is not over yet, I originally didn't have any expectations to stay in the Hexi Corridor for two days, but I didn't expect it to be the two days with the most memories of the whole trip. Not only did I meet the enthusiastic taxi sister who left me her phone number, the lame uncle who waited for me to take a ride outside the Desert Park, the handsome art student who came from Beijing to play and visited the Han Tomb together, and the Ma Haochen (this is the pronunciation but I don't know if the name is written like this) kid who was reluctant to let me go in the halal restaurant and called me auntie~ Full of memories, leaving a warm tone for this city. Dear Wuwei, see you next time.
