A small Yellow River city that is underestimated, it's such a pity to miss it!||

||A small Yellow River city that is underestimated, it's such a pity to miss it!💖|| Just 1.5 hours' drive from Lanzhou, there hides a small city with a beautiful environment—Gansu Yongjing🏯 It embraces the magnificent scenery of a thousand-mile lake formed by the Yellow River and the Liujiaxia Reservoir, and also boasts rich cultural landscapes such as grottoes and ancient temples. Just one encounter, and you will be deeply shocked, lamenting that it's a pity you didn't discover it sooner!‼️ The climate in Yongjing is extremely pleasant🍃. During the peak of summer, the temperature is only over 20 degrees in the morning and evening, and even during the day, you can feel the cool breeze on your face in the shade🍀 After meticulously organizing the travel guide for several days, it is recommended to bookmark it quickly❗ 🚌How to get there 🚗Plane: First fly to Lanzhou, then take a bus or rent a car to Yongjing 🚗Self-driving: Departing from Lanzhou, it only takes 1.5 hours, with the whole journey on asphalt roads, ensuring a smooth trip 🚗Travel guide 𝐃𝐚𝐲𝟏: Lanzhou - Liujiaxia Reservoir - Dinosaur National Geopark - Jingwei Dividing Scenic Spot - Yellow River Flower Embankment 𝐃𝐚𝐲𝟐: Yongjing - Yellow River Gorges - Bingling Temple Grottoes - Luojiadong Temple - Start the return journey ✅✅✅Travel recommendations 📌 Bingling Temple Grottoes As a World Cultural Heritage site and one of China's five major grottoes, it preserves stone carvings and murals from the Northern Wei, Northern Zhou, Sui, Tang, Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties on its sheer cliffs, which are majestic and breathtaking. The Maitreya Buddha statue, which is over 20 meters tall, and the mysterious special caves are particularly shocking. It is highly recommended to visit special caves No. 169 and No. 172, which are grand in scale and rich in content, with numerous exquisite statues and murals that are dazzling. This is also the earliest dated grotto in China (Note: Photography is prohibited inside the special caves‼️) Ticket price: 50 yuan (Special caves No. 169 and No. 172 cost 300 yuan) 📌 Liujiaxia Reservoir The Yellow River is intercepted here by a dam as tall as a 50-story building, creating a spectacular high gorge and flat lake. The lake water is blue and clear, calm and serene, and is known as Gansu's 'Erhai Lake'. Taking a boat trip here, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery. Ticket price: Free 📌 Dinosaur National Geopark A museum themed around dinosaurs, with many dinosaur skeletons and footprints on display. Ticket price: Free 📌 Yellow River Boundary Line The muddy grey-yellow Tao River and the clear blue Yellow River meet at the edge of Yongjing city, forming a unique spectacle of distinct separation. It is here that the Yellow River truly becomes the 'Yellow' River. Ticket price: 3 yuan 📌 Yellow River Flower Embankment Located in the county's flower sea park, in July and August, the verbena blooms like waves, just like the lavender fields of Provence.
