136***91The entrance fee plus the sightseeing bus cost 68 yuan, and parking was 3 yuan. It took most of the day to fully explore the area, but I didn't visit Xiangguo Temple or Taohuayu. I felt the Xumishan Giant Buddha was even more impressive than the Yungang Grottoes and Luoyang Grottoes. The climb to the Xumishan Zisun Palace was steep, requiring a near-vertical climb using iron chains.

NicoleFirst, park your car at the entrance to the attraction. There's a spacious parking lot, which is very convenient. Then, take the shuttle bus up the mountain. After circling for about 30 minutes, you'll reach the summit. There's a small museum with stunning views. Then, you'll start a fascinating walk, weaving and weaving, sometimes up slopes, sometimes into caves. It's quite interesting. After an hour or two of this, you'll reach another parking spot, take the shuttle bus back to the attraction ticket office, and then pick up your car and go home. The entire journey takes at least six hours. I personally think it's worth it. The entrance fee is a bit expensive.

M23***53Enter from the Fuxi Temple and exit the Tianshui Museum. It's about a twelve-minute walk to the Yuquan Scenic Area. Buying tickets online is very convenient. The hike up the mountain isn't tiring, and the entire tour takes about an hour.

行走在民间的艺术家5 stars! A thousand-year-old city hidden in Northwest China, the night view and food are absolutely amazing! A must-visit treasure in Tianshui! The free admission to the ancient city is such a generous offer; I was instantly hooked after exploring it. The ancient residences from the Ming and Qing dynasties are incredibly well-preserved, with exquisite wood and brick carvings that are breathtaking. The courtyard layout of the north and south houses is particularly stunning; stepping inside feels like stepping back in time. Wearing Hanfu for photos is incredibly photogenic, and in the morning when it's less crowded, you can take pictures effortlessly. The vibrant atmosphere of the ancient city is truly captivating! The streets and alleys are filled with Tianshui's signature snacks: spicy and chewy "guagua," refreshing and tangy "jiangshui noodles," and springy "laolao" (a type of noodle). You can't go wrong with any of the small shops; sit down and slurp down a bowl after a long walk—pure bliss! There are also shops selling intangible cultural heritage handicrafts and creative cultural products; you can discover many surprises at a leisurely pace. It's not overly commercialized, allowing for a truly relaxing stroll. And the night view deserves special mention! As dusk settles, red lanterns illuminate the cobblestone streets, creating a vibrant atmosphere in the ancient buildings. Occasionally, you might even catch a street band performance or a Qinqiang opera, adding to the lively yet charming ambiance. The guesthouse we stayed at in the ancient town was incredibly stylish with its retro decor. The owner was warm and attentive, even sharing hidden tourist routes. It was within walking distance of the Fuxi Temple and Yuquan Temple, making it super convenient. The facilities were excellent, and the staff were very attentive. Overall, a fantastic experience! Whether you want to immerse yourself in history and culture or simply enjoy the food and photos, Tianshui Ancient Town is definitely worth a visit. I'll definitely bring my friends back next time! Would you like me to compile a detailed list of "food and photo spots" in the ancient town, highlighting specific shops and the best photo locations?

Anonymous userYou must visit the Fuxi Temple, the first of the Three Huangs. In fact, I like the fireworks in the streets and alleys of Tianshui the most. After visiting Fuxi City, I walked straight out and found a big market with all kinds of fruits and food. I bought a big bag, thanks to the hotel front desk who told me.

Each pool has a comfortable temperature, and the facilities are impeccably clean. It's a great place to bring kids specifically for this experience.

彩虹小妖精The night cruise on the Yellow River was fantastic! The Zhongshan Bridge was beautifully lit, and the evening breeze was soothing. The 40-minute cruise was just right, and I recommend choosing the second deck for the fantastic views. Booking tickets on Ctrip was convenient, and the pier was easy to find. The boat crossing Zhongshan Bridge was incredibly photogenic, and the night view of Baita Mountain was magnificent. It's definitely worth the trip! The Yellow River at night takes on a whole new charm, with the lights on both sides ablaze. Enjoying the scenery while feeling the river breeze was a great value. I'll definitely come again. Sitting on the first floor wasn't cold, and the night view was very pleasant. I was able to capture photos of both Zhongshan Bridge and the Yellow River Mother Statue. I was very satisfied! The night cruise exceeded my expectations! The bridge and mountains were beautifully illuminated by the lights. There were also guides on board, and photos were free. If you'd like, take them for 30 yuan each.

实在不可爱Zhongshan Bridge, a must-see attraction in Lanzhou, is incredibly popular. Arriving around 8 p.m., the bridge was already illuminated, its lights constantly changing colors, a breathtaking spectacle. People walked across the bridge, some leaving beautiful silhouettes behind, while others quietly admired the scenery. Nighttime boat tours are also available near the bridge, and everyone's face was filled with smiles, eager to capture this moment forever.

周华平Baitashan Park is free. At night, I look across the Yellow River. The lights are very beautiful. The pavilion on the other side looks particularly beautiful on the mountain, which is more beautiful than during the day. The temperature at night is higher than the bottom of the day and you need to wear more coats.

lingliziThe Yellow River Mother is an iconic sculpture of Lanzhou City, located in the middle of Binhe Road on the south bank of the Yellow River, created by famous sculptor He Yu in 1986. The sculpture is 6 meters long,2.2 meters wide,2.6 meters high, weighing more than 40 tons, using granite carving, showing a kind mother lying on the waves, holding a baby boy, symbolizing the Yellow River to feed the Chinese children. The base is decorated with water ripples and fish patterns of Gansu colored pottery, which has a deep meaning. The sculpture has won the National Urban Sculpture Excellence Award, and is now a cultural relics protection unit in Gansu Province, which is open free of charge throughout the day.
