Silk Road Tibetan Treasures, Hometown of Heavenly Horses — A Three-Day Leisure Tour in Wuwei

The wind of the Hexi Corridor has blown through two thousand years of Wuwei's history. Here, you can find the vitality of the "Galloping Horse Treading on a Flying Swallow" and the vastness of desert oases. In three days, unlock a dual feast of culture and nature. Three-Day Travel Plan • Day 1: Cultural Origins Tour. In the morning, check in at the Leitai Han Culture Museum, have a remote dialogue with the "Galloping Horse Treading on a Flying Swallow" bronze statue, and admire the exquisite craftsmanship of the Han Dynasty bronze chariot and horse figurines; in the afternoon, visit the Wuwei Confucian Temple, known as the "Crown of Longyou Academies," and feel the millennium-old cultural heritage among ancient cypresses and pines. • Day 2: Fusion of Nature and Ancient Sites. In the morning, head to the Tianti Mountain Grottoes, the "Ancestor of Stone Caves," to see murals of flying apsaras harmonizing with the reservoir scenery; in the afternoon, enter the Desert Park to encounter the oasis wonder formed by saxaul forests and artificial lakes on the edge of the Tengger Desert. • Day 3: Experience Local Customs. Travel to Tianzhu Tibetan Autonomous County, stroll through the Shimen Valley Grassland, and gaze at the perennial snow on the Mayashan Snow Mountain. If visiting in winter, enjoy Tibetan-style skiing fun at the Wushaoling International Ski Resort. Must-Try Food Recommendations • Shami Copper Pot Lamb: Selected local lamb slow-cooked with Shami rice, tender meat, and flavorful broth that warms the stomach. The classic dish is served at Jin Hua Business Dining on Chongwen Street. • Liangzhou Specialty Barbecue: The barbecue at Fumantang Brothers Grill on Tianma Road is crispy outside and tender inside, sprinkled with local spices, unlocking the authentic northwest street food flavor in every bite. • Tibetan-Style Roasted Lamb Leg: The roasted lamb leg at Jufuyuan Farmhouse Restaurant in Tianzhu carries Tibetan flavors, with crispy skin and juicy interior, paired perfectly with butter tea for an authentic experience. • Thousand-Layer Gourd: A signature vegetarian dish at Sanheyuan Restaurant, finely crafted with a delicate knife technique, sweet and refreshing, perfect for cleansing the palate. From the Han tomb bronze galloping horse to snowy grasslands, from grotto murals to bustling street life, every corner of Wuwei holds surprises. Come here and let Silk Road culture and northwest flavors fill your travel memories.
