Things to do in Longnan

I visited Guange Valley during the National Day holiday, and it wasn't too crowded. It's known as "Little Jiuzhaigou," but it's several levels below Jiuzhaigou. Guange Valley is more fun to visit than E'man Valley. E'man Valley is poorly designed; the shuttle bus doesn't go to the top, so you have to walk 10 kilometers one way, making it 20 kilometers round trip, which leaves most tourists disappointed.

A paradise on earth, the Jiangnan region of Gansu, Tianchi Lake is divided into east and west routes. Those who enjoy photography can choose the west route, which is gentle and offers many picturesque shots. The east route involves climbing hills and is more suitable for those with ample physical strength. Furthermore, the forests along the east route are rich in wild mushrooms; mushroom enthusiasts may choose the east route.

It's a sight well worth seeing. The stalactites and the lights inside are very beautiful. The stairs are a bit slippery, so please be careful when you go into the cave to avoid falling. I'll definitely come back again!

It's truly a delightful surprise, and perhaps because it's located in a county town, many people miss out on this attraction. A perfect scenic spot should be like this—a perfect blend of cultural elements and natural beauty. The current season is just right; the mountains are a vibrant mix of red, green, and yellow hues, and the overall physical exertion required is moderate, not particularly demanding. Just remember to enter from the west gate and exit from the east gate; this downhill route saves you energy.

An underrated hidden gem in Gansu, truly deserving the title of "Little Jiuzhaigou of Gansu." The Guanzhugou Canyon Waterfall Group is breathtaking, with the 100-meter-high Guange Waterfall shrouded in mist. Along the way, there are more than ten emerald-colored lakes with clear, layered waters. The alpine lake Zedangcuo in Emangou offers stunning reflections. With its extremely high forest coverage and an average summer temperature of 22℃, it's a natural oxygen bar, brimming with negative oxygen ions throughout. You won't be crammed in with crowds, and every snapshot will be a wallpaper-worthy masterpiece.

Highly recommended. There weren't many people during the National Day holiday, probably because of the epidemic. The scenery is beautiful and the lake is clear. The management is also more humane. Most of the merchants in the scenic area are nearby villagers, with simple folk customs and inexpensive things. Next time I'll consider staying in a farmhouse in the scenic area. The experience is better in spring.

Looking at the place where Du Fu lived, think about it and verify it. He was quite rich back then. After all, it was such a big house in the core area, right? Well, we still have to learn from him and work hard.

Be sure to choose a good day and go to see the sunrise early in the morning. If you are just going for fun, it is more appropriate to go in the afternoon. The top of the mountain is shrouded in clouds and mist, there are many bends, and the road is easier to walk. The cement road is not built to the end, and there is a large section of dirt road at the end. Drive carefully.

Bikou Ancient Town, Wen County, Longnan, Gansu: Located in the southeast of Wen County, Gansu, it is known as one of the four famous towns in Gansu, along with Ankou Town, Huating County, Gansu, Maying Town, Tongwei County, and Hongcheng Town, Yongdeng County. In ancient times, Bikou Town was a Ganchuan water and land wharf, where merchants gathered and trade flourished, ranking first among the four famous towns. Today, Bikou Town is simple and natural, with clear water and green mountains and a beautiful environment, like a painting. It is not Jiangnan, but better than Jiangnan.
