Tulu is an ancient Mongolian language meaning big, good or good orchard. Tulugou Forest Park, affected by the mountain climate, abundant rainfall, peaks and valleys in the ditch, Tucina show. It is a long-lasting green, also known as the green gully, and is also known as the fabulous green valley.

The so-called Sichuanese, "Said the text" interpretation: Sichuan, running through the water. Sichuan refers to the four rivers of Jialing River, Minjiang River, Minjiang River and Minjiang River, instead of having four Pingchuan in accordance with the current meaning. In the folk custom of the northwest, the flat zone that impacted the river is also called Sichuan. For example, we often hear that people in the wide area of the alluvial fan are described as big Sichuan, which is also widely used in Chinese. For example, in the Northern Dynasty Yuefu's "Mu Lechuan": Yulechuan, under the Yinshan, the sky is like a dragonfly. is called "Qingwang", the name is very artistic and sentimental. It is difficult to test why the ancestors named this area called Qingwang, but it is literally understood. When you are in a clear weather, you can enjoy the vastness of Qingwangchuan. The story of Qin Wangchuan As for Qin Wangchuan, there is another sentiment. In the 13th year of the Sui Dynasty, in 617 AD, the heroes of the world started together. The most famous one is Tang Guogong who took the troops in Jinyang and then won the world. Li Yuan. On the ground in the city of Lanzhou, there is also a grass-headed emperor at this time. It is Xueju, a school in Jincheng. This is a Shanxiese who migrated to Lanzhou with his father. Xue Xiaoyu started his business in Lanzhou in April 617. He claimed to be the king of Xiqin, and he was pro-invigorating. He established a political power and intended to compete in the world. In July 617, Xue Ju called the emperor, and his wife, Yu, was the queen, and his son Xue Renzhen was the prince. The mother was the empress and the emperor was moved to Qinshui. Therefore, Lanzhou has been recorded as a capital of the capital for three months in history.

Lanzhou Shuping Danxia Scenic Spot is the largest Danxia landform in the same type of landform discovered in China, with a total area of 600 square kilometers. It is distributed in Yongdeng County, Xigu District and Anning District of Lanzhou City. Located in Shuping Town and Kushui Town of Yongdeng County, it is the closest Danxia landform group in the provincial capital city. Lanzhou Shuping Danxia Scenic Area has a planned area of 400 square kilometers. Within the scenic area, the area is magnificent, the fluctuations are varied, and the geological wonders are dense. Due to the difference in sunshine, the sunny slope and the shady slope form different landscapes. The main color of the sunny slope is orange-red, and the main color of the shady slope is dark green. There are more than 30 natural dams in the scenic area, so Lanzhou Shuping Danxia is also known as Shuiyun Danxia. The scenic area has perfect ecological system, and the unit landscape has unique shapes. The color hills, the cliffs, the cliffs, the cliffs, the peaks and the hills, the Danxia pictographs, the landscape types are diverse, and the degree of differentiation is higher. Lanzhou Shuping Danxia main geological relics are Danxia and Hongshan Bay landforms (colored hills), accompanied by river landforms, modeling landforms, differential weathering, balance (acoustic stone), miniature landforms, reduction spots, waves Geological structure phenomena such as marks and caves are abundant. In terms of area, this is the largest Danxia landform in the same landform that has been discovered in China. There are many large Danxia cliffs in the Dahongshan-Dahuaishan area, with a length of 1.3 kilometers, which is rare in China. In addition, Lanzhou Shuping Danxia is naturally intact, and there is basically no human activity except the marginal areas, and most of them remain in their original state.

Impressions of Lanzhou 1. Lanzhou doesn't have ramen, only beef noodles. The beef noodles have small pieces of beef and radish, and you can add beef slices. The radish in the northwest is amazing, it doesn't taste like radish at all. 2. There is no subway from Lanzhou Airport to the city, but there is a high-speed train from the airport to Lanzhou West Railway Station. It takes only 5 minutes to walk from Zhongchuan Airport to the intercity high-speed train ticket gate, so you don't need to rush. "Afghanistan by day, Manhattan by night" I heard that Lanzhou's night view is beautiful, so you must go to Lanshan Park to see it. Guide You can take the subway, bus, or public electric bike to the carpool point at Andingmen. The specific location is to walk from Andingmen Bus Station to Baiyin Road. After passing the overpass, there is a carpool to Lanshan Park in the northwest corner. The fare to Ertaige and Santaige is CNY 10 per person. Recently, the sunset in Lanzhou is around 8:30 pm, so you can go up the mountain at 7 or 8 pm. There are many carpools going down the mountain at night, and there are even cars in the middle of the night. Tips 1. If you want to take photos, I recommend Ertaige, which is at an intersection. Santaige requires a telephoto lens of more than 200 mm, and I heard that there are two big lights that interfere with the shooting effect. Ertaige requires a fill light for portraits. 2. The photos were taken at Ertaige with a 70-200 mm lens. There are two viewing platforms by the roadside, and there are snacks sold in the middle of the viewing platforms. There is a staircase in the middle that you can go down. The stairs lead to the downhill route. You can take photos on the downhill road or on the viewing platform, and both have good effects. 3. Try flying a drone on the downhill route of Ertaige. You have to pull it to a distance of 3,000 meters to the city, and it is easy to lose signal, so you need to drive carefully. The downhill road is also very narrow, so you need to be careful when taking off and landing. 4. I heard that there are two other good places to take photos below Ertaige, the Lanshan Park Archway and the Glass Plank Road. These two places are a little far from Ertaige. If you have enough time and want to climb the mountain slowly, you can explore them. 5. Ertaige and Santaige are far apart, and there are carpools going up from Ertaige. I didn't go up. Bring mosquito repellent, there are many mosquitoes.

Encounter the poetic landscape of Lanzhou's Danxia landform After being trapped in the concrete jungle for too long, I longed for the wonders of nature. When I stepped into Lanzhou's Danxia landform, time seemed to stand still, leaving only shock and awe in my heart. In December, I avoided the crowds and embarked on this quiet journey. After arriving at Zhongchuan Airport, I took the city rail to Lanzhou West Railway Station. The journey was smooth, and the scenery along the way made me look forward to the upcoming beauty. For this trip, I chose an 8-person afternoon tour on Trip.com. The price was affordable, including tickets, city transfers, and shuttle bus fees. I also purchased additional insurance for peace of mind. The driver picked us up on time at 1:30 pm and headed to the scenic area. When I entered the scenic area and got on the shuttle bus, my heart became more and more excited as the bus moved forward. When I stood on the top of the mountain and overlooked the entire landform, the spectacular scenery hit my heart. The undulating mountains were outlined by nature's brushstrokes, with unique contours. Under the gentle sunlight, the light and shadow intertwined, creating a strong sense of layering. When the clouds and mist surrounded the mountains, it was like stepping into a fairyland. The mist gently wrapped around the distant mountains, and I finally understood the beauty of the name "Danxia landform." Everything in front of me was like a slowly unfolding ink painting, with every fold and color stained with the traces of time. When visiting, keeping warm is essential. Hats, gloves, thermal pants, and thick down jackets are necessary to resist the cold of winter and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Lanzhou's Danxia landform is not only a visual feast but also a spiritual baptism. Here, I felt the grandeur and delicacy of nature and found the long-lost peace deep in my heart. If you also long for a trip away from the hustle and bustle, come here and encounter the unique poetry and magnificence of the Danxia landform.

There is a direct bus from the city to the scenic area, but there is only one bus per day during the off-season, and you need to call the driver in advance to reserve a seat. I don't recommend taking it. I recommend taking a carpool. Tickets: 80 (including sightseeing bus in the scenic area) Operating hours: 8:30–18:00 Recommended route: Take the sightseeing bus to Silk Road Ancient Road → Danding Lansheng (highest point) → 3.5 km boardwalk → Shayin Camel Bell (lowest point) → Take the sightseeing bus to Jiuse Danqing → Take the sightseeing bus to the hot air balloon platform → Walk to Silk Road Ancient Road → Take the bus out of the scenic area Silk Road Ancient Road: You can take the bus directly from the visitor center. There are yaks, camels, alpacas, and other animals here. You can feed or ride them for an additional fee. There is a section of completely suspended iron stairs, and the Ruyi Bridge itself is also suspended. I was afraid of heights when I climbed it. There was no one else, and I climbed the mountain with my hands and feet against the stairs. It was the scariest moment of the whole trip. Tips: There is food and water in the scenic area. If you bring your own, bring enough water and food, because you will need to walk for a long time and it will be physically demanding. Be sure to wear sunscreen. If the weather is good, you will be exposed to the sun the whole time, which is not much better than the desert. For your own safety, it is best to walk along the corridor by the road.

During the trip to Lanzhou, Ink Danxia Scenic Area is a 4A scenic spot, but many 5A scenic spots may not have such scenery. It was a hurried day trip, but I still gained a lot from seeing this colorful beauty. It's about an hour's drive from the city. When you arrive at the scenic spot, you transfer to a scenic sightseeing bus and ride the bus according to the route. Each stop is the same as the bus, which is convenient, and the scenery is not so tiring. Many friends say that the scenery in Zhangye is better than here. I hope I can drive to Zhangye next time I have a chance!

By Lin Yuanju August 18th, today is the last day of our Gannan self-driving tour. We will return to Lanzhou, and visit Liujiakou Reservoir and Shuimo Danxia Scenic Area on the way. After driving for about an hour, we arrived at the Liujiakou Observation Deck. Standing on the observation deck, we can enjoy the beautiful scenery around us. The Yellow River is wide and calm, and the mountains on the opposite bank are continuous and colorful. The water below the mountains is yellowish-red and blends with the mountains. The water surface is emerald green, and the slopes of the Danxia landform are covered with dark green vegetation. The artificial dam fence, pavilions and bridges show the harmonious beauty of human and nature. Liujiakou Reservoir is the first million-kilowatt hydropower project designed, constructed and built by China during the First Five-Year Plan. It was started in 1958 and completed in 1974, marking a milestone in China's hydropower industry. It has multiple functions including power generation, flood control, irrigation, aquaculture, navigation and tourism. The reservoir is located in a plateau canyon, and the cliffs on both sides are typical Danxia landforms, known as the "Pearl of the Plateau". The Liujiakou Hydropower Plant is responsible for commissioning and managing the hydropower station, supplying electricity to Shaanxi, Gansu and Qinghai provinces. Two or three minutes after leaving the Liujiakou Dam, we arrived at the Huanghe Museum and a corner of the Bingshan Scenic Area. The museum was closed for unknown reasons, so we took a quick look around the park. We also learned about the Bingshan Scenic Area. Bingshan is a national 5A-level tourist attraction, famous for its Bingshan Temple and grottoes. It is a national key cultural relics protection unit. The Bingshan Temple Grottoes were first built in the first year of Jianhong in the Western Qin Dynasty (420 AD), and have a history of over 1600 years. The most typical are stone sculptures, relief pagodas and esoteric murals, which are known as the three major grottoes of Gansu along with Mogao Grottoes and Maijishan Grottoes. Our trip will focus on visiting Mogao Grottoes, so Bingshan Temple is not included in the plan. At around 1:00 pm, we entered Yongdeng County, Lanzhou City, and visited Shuimo Danxia. We returned to the city and visited the Yellow River Tower and Lanzhou Old Street. This concludes our Gannan self-driving tour. Although the time is short, we have gained a lot. The unique plateau scenery, vast grassland pastures, strange Tibetan customs, strong religious atmosphere and delicious food have left a deep impression on us. The days of brothers and sisters living together have allowed us to fully experience the beauty and preciousness of family affection. The rugged roads and the thrilling experience of altitude sickness have now become endless memories... Lanzhou Shuimo Danxia Tourist Area

Really! Lanzhou loves me, it worries about me being hot and makes me beautiful. The weather in Lanzhou has been gloomy these past two days, making it super comfortable to visit a museum or something. It was drizzling when I went out in the afternoon, but it cleared up briefly when I arrived at the scenic spot, and the sun even came out for me to take pictures 🥺🙏🏻 Thank you! 🔜 Enter the scenic area from the visitor center, take the bus directly to the Silk Road Ancient Path, and then take the sightseeing bus to the following attractions. When I went that day, the Dan Ding Lansheng and the plank road were closed due to the rain 🌧️, leaving a slight regret. ✨✨✨ But! The beauty of the Nine-Color Danqing made up for it! It really looks like a palette overturned by God 🎨, with colors changing with the undulating mountains ⛰️. The dominant color on the sunny slope from west to east is orange-red, while the main color on the shady slope from east to west is dark green, complementing each other, and it feels almost within reach.

This week I finally checked in to Lanzhou Ink Danxia Scenic Spot. I had experienced the shock of Zhangye’s colorful Danxia before, so I actually didn’t have high expectations for Ink Danxia. After coming here, I realized that I was still wrong. 🏞️Although they both belong to the Danxia landform, the landforms and landscapes are still very different. The scenery is also very beautiful. The green weeds decorating the Danxia sky really look like an ink-and-wash painting of mountains and rivers. "Lanzhou Ink Danxia Tourist Scenic Spot" The main reason why I haven't been here before is because the transportation is not that convenient. During the summer vacation, the Danxia Tourist Bus was added, which is indeed a lot more convenient. Tourist bus☛ You can make a reservation one day in advance through the "Lanzhou Urban and Rural Bus" mini program. There are three departure stations, Lanzhou Passenger Transport Center 🚌, Journey to the West Sculpture 🗿, and Customs Metro 🚇B Exit. You can choose the one closest to you according to your location. The fare is divided into 20, There are three levels: 18 and 12. Departure time from Passenger Transport Center ⏰09:00 (approximately 10:30 to the scenic spot) Ink Danxia return time ⏰15:00 (boarding starts at 14:30) If there are no seats available in the mini program, you can contact ☎️ above to reserve a seat, get on the bus and then buy a ticket, either one way or round trip. Taxi 🚗☛ It is also very convenient to take a taxi to the scenic spot, which is about 70. It is suitable to take a taxi when there are many people. It is best to avoid the peak period of entering the park around 10:30. There are many taxi rides coming back from the scenic area and the prices are quite reasonable. It feels more convenient than the tourist line. Scenic spot tour☛ To get to the scenic spot, first take the scenic shuttle bus to the gate of the scenic spot. There are geological exhibition halls, campsites🏕️, and nomadic tribes🐄 at the gate. There is a sightseeing bus ride about one or two hundred meters ahead. Although there are many people in line, the waiting speed is still very fast. . The speed of the car is relatively fast, the turns are sharp, and the wind is strong, so be sure to wear a hat🧢. The first stop of the sightseeing bus is Danding Range Rover ⛰️. You can go all the way up the plank road. If you have inconvenient legs, you don’t have to worry about the elevator 🛗. This scenic spot seems not suitable for people with poor legs and feet to visit. In fact, I think it is very convenient overall. . If you have the energy, you can hike to 🐪Shayun Tuoling. If you don’t have the opportunity, you can take a sightseeing bus back. 🔙, rent a shared sightseeing bus 🛺 and go to the hot air balloon platform to take the sightseeing bus to Shayun Tuoling. There are amusement facilities for children to play on the hot air balloon platform, as well as food and drink, and you can also go to Danxia Dance Horse Dance to watch a performance. 📌Tips: Sightseeing bus🚗: 20💰 round trip (very necessary) Shared tour bus🛺: 38💰 one way (about 1.5km) Dance Horse🐴Danxia Performance: 128💰Half price for the first 300 people every day Helicopter✈️Tour: 800💰 Tourist bus🚌: buy tickets + round trip bus 75💰
