    "Xining from the city center square, take bus 302 Zhangjiazhuang, walk 500 meters, because it is a weekend, bought 158 three-story package, usually 138. My girlfriend and I only played in the water park and hot spring hall. The swimming pool did not go. I went at noon and stayed for an afternoon. How to say it, it was good. Everyone can redeem three towels for free. The extra charges are charged. It is best for family and couples to bring snacks and food and drink. Tired, you can sit down to eat and drink, the buffet inside is 69, the price is not high. The attitude of the service staff is also good. The adult project has rafting, surfing and adult combination slides. In general, the water park is more suitable for children. If you have hot springs, you don’t have to worry about the problem of many people. There are dozens of hot spring pools, divided into indoor and outdoor, there are Chinese medicine baths, Tibetan medicine baths, Milk bath, etc., the hot spring is really comfortable, there is a spa pool, the overall is very good, there are not many people, it is more convenient to go. There is definitely enough to buy a three-story package. There is no need to worry about there is no place to rest. The lobby sales staff will let you buy a bath and pedicure package. It is said that there are many people who have no place to rest. If you don't need it, you don't have to worry about the problem of resting places. There are many lounge chairs inside! ! !"

    "It belongs to Inner Mongolia, with grassland and sandy land, and a bonfire party at night. The scenic spot needs to take a shuttle bus. There are sheep and camels in the grassland, not far from Zhongwei. After going to Shapotou, you can go around, about an hour."

    Highlights: The Tonghu Grassland lies in the hinterlands of the Tengri Desert. The grasslands, deserts, and lakes together form an area of natural beauty. Fresh air, clusters of cattle and sheep and white yurts come together to create a fascinating view. The blue sky, white clouds, grassland, cattle, and sheep, and the enthusiastic grassland herders, create a feeling of peaceful isolation. During the day, you can ride a horse through the vast grassland, wander around on a camel, or find a good place to sit down, drink tea, and admire the natural beauty. In the evening, you can meet visitors from all around at a bonfire party, where you can eat meat, drink wine and mellow milk tea, and listen to the melodious horse-head fiddle. A stimulating, satisfying, and happy experience!

    "Knowing Biandukou also has to talk about the documentary "Hexi Corridor" seen during the epidemic at home. So this summer's Ganqing Ring Road itinerary, I came to punch in. On the afternoon of July 16, 2023, after visiting the Leitai Han Tomb Scenic Area, follow Gaode navigation, drive more than 220 kilometers, more than 3 hours, pass G30, S315, Huochengzhen, and arrive at Biandukou. From the Fengcheng toll station, Lianhuo Expressway, the basic roads are provincial roads, county roads, and township roads. Although some roads are in poor road conditions, and I am a car, it is also a deep experience of the northwest countryside scenery, passing by a village when I also encounter sheep "blocking the road", it is quite novel. It was nearly 18:00 when I arrived at the flat mouth, but fortunately, it was dark in the northwest, and there was still time. I went to see rapeseed flowers. The children sat on grass and rode horses. The temperature here is very low, in mid-July summer, the first thing after getting off the bus is to turn out the autumn clothes from the trunk to wear, summer clothes can not stand the "cool" here. Before coming, I booked a homestay called Minle County Biandukou International Self-Driving Camp on Trip.com. In the scenic area, it is very convenient to stay after playing. Staying at this homestay, you can contact the boss for 0 yuan to buy tickets. The scenery of Biandukou is mainly to see rapeseed flowers. It is not rare for our tourists from the east. The rapeseed flowers in Huangshan and Wuyuan are also beautiful. The rapeseed flowers in Biandukou are planted on the hillside, and chatted with the villagers who put horses. The plant here is a low rapeseed. Looking around, the near is golden rapeseed, the flowers are filled; in the distance is green and green, the wind is a wave of green waves; in the distance is the bright outline, dark green Qilian Mountain. Yes, Qilian Mountain is green here, not the dry and bald earth color on both sides of Lianhuo Expressway, which is also one of the beauty of the flat mouth. The scenery of flat mouth is suitable for a long view, grand, magnificent, blue sky and white clouds, distant mountains, green and golden, which makes people feel comfortable. Speaking of accommodation, the price of the homestay we stayed in was not high, the facilities were average, the wooden house standard room was 198 yuan/night, there was no air conditioning, and the floor heating would be turned on at night, otherwise it would be cold to sleep. The temperature here at night was similar to the end of November in Jianghuai. Our room does not include breakfast, but the boss sent breakfast, very simple, porridge and Hanamaki. Personally, tourists from the eastern region come to the west to play, and can not compare food and accommodation with the eastern region. After all, the environment here is relatively bad. What you come to the west is the rough atmosphere and even the desolate scenery, and experience life in different climates and geographical environments. If you still pursue the conditions and exquisite cuisine of star hotels, there is less fun. The first time I ate fried eggs with sand onion was here. The taste was very unique. This dish was very common in the northwest. We only stayed at the flat mouth for one night, and went to the Qilian Prairie the next day. Because the scenery here is to see rape blossoms, and then with a humanistic feeling, we will make up for the history of countless officials, businessmen and travelers who have passed through this place to enter and exit the Western Region and the sense of time and space intersection this evening. This mountain, this water, has long been integrated with history; today, everyone who comes here is also interpreting new history for future generations!"

    "The first time I climbed the mountain, I encountered the first snow in Xinglong Mountain. After winter, the broad-leaved plants on the mountain basically fell. Only the leaves of the pine trees are turquoise, and the snow scene will not be monotonous. It snowed, the wooden steps on the mountain were not smooth because of the paint and snow, and the mountain needed to grab the chain guardrail next to the steps. The experience was very poor! ! ! The only slot"

    Highlights: Xinglongshan Nature Reserve is a popular mountain with long history. It is a place where locals from Lanzhou can climb and exercise and enjoy summer games. The Xinglongshan Nature Reserve is rich in trees, with many blue pines, mountains and rivers. It is a rare and beautiful place compared to the arid northwestern land. When Chiang Kai-shek and Song Meiling visited Lanzhou in the period of the Warlord Era, they lived here and built the Chiang Kai-shek official residence.

    "The environment is still OK, you have to take a car up the mountain (not tired to sit), a person 20 seems to be, the comment is the later comment, I don’t remember the inside is quite big, it is recommended to go up the mountain by car down the mountain, you can see the animals, you must remember to bring your own food, you can buy it inside, you can buy it, But I still suggest you bring it yourself, you know everything"
