Xi' an scenic spot introduction
Xi 'an, known as Chang 'an in ancient times, has been the imperial capital since ancient times, and the precipitation and inheritance of the Chinese nation for thousands of years is still quietly continuing here.
Some people say that in any place in An, if you dig down, you may find a pile of Qin bricks and Han tiles. Although somewhat exaggerated, as an ancient capital, Xi 'an does have rich historical sites and cultural relics.
This city, which has experienced the rise and fall of 13 dynasties, is like a huge museum.
Whether it's the Terracotta Warriors in eight wonders of the world, the ancient city walls that have experienced vicissitudes, or the Wild Goose Pagoda that once contained Tianzhu scriptures.
The bricks and tiles left by the ancients all reveal the details of history.
Since ancient times, there have been many famous chefs serving dignitaries in Xi 'an, which have formed a unique northwest flavor through inheritance.
The most representative foods here are all kinds of snacks, such as meat buns, cold rice noodles, mutton buns and minced meat noodles, which make diners remember them vividly.
From morning till night, century-old brands and emerging snack bars are in an endless stream, and tourists and locals from all over the world feast their eyes here.
Tianshui
Tianshui, called "Qin Zhou" in ancient times, is located in the east of Gansu and east of Longshan, so Qingyang, Pingliang and Tianshui are also called Longdong.
Compared with Hexi and Gannan, Longdong is not a place full of tourists in Gansu, but it has become an important town on the Silk Road from xi 'an to Lanzhou.
Tianshui has many characteristics different from other places in Gansu. Not so northwest, with four distinct seasons, pleasant climate and rich products, it is known as "Little Jiangnan in Northwest China".
The terraces and mountains along the way look green, and the weather after autumn is much warmer than other places in Gansu.
Today, Tianshui is still a charming ancient city, and "wheat accumulation and misty rain" is the most famous scenery of this ancient city.
Go to the famous Maijishan Grottoes. If caught in the drizzle, the thin fog is caged in the mountains, and the peaks are looming, bringing infinite beauty.
In addition, the Dadiwan site preserves a large number of early Neolithic and Yangshao cultural treasures; Tianshui is the only Fuxi Temple with a statue of China Fuxi, with carved beams and painted buildings.
Lanzhou
As the capital of Gansu Province and the central city of northwest China, Lanzhou has a very important traffic position: it connects Dunhuang in the north, Gannan in the south, Xining in the west and Yinchuan in the east, which can be said to be the only place to travel to the west.
The Yellow River flows endlessly through Lanzhou from west to east, sandwiched between the north and south mountains, making it a long and narrow city extending from east to west.
As far as tourist attractions are concerned, the most prominent is the "Hundred Miles Yellow River Scenery Line" along the Yellow River: Zhongshan Bridge, Water Car Garden, Statue of the Yellow River Mother, and the night view of Baita Mountain at night, all of which can't be missed when you come to Lanzhou.
The Yellow River water that flows to the distance day and night makes Lanzhou a "temperamental" city.
The rolling turbid waves and the sound of the waves not only nurtured the soil and water in Lanzhou, but also created the bold and rough character of Lanzhou people. Because of the Yellow River, the city has become warmer and richer.
Lanzhou is a famous "hometown of melons and fruits". Lanzhou in autumn is the best place to travel, and the fruit harvest is enough to satisfy people's appetite.
In addition,10h1(20265438+0may13) Eid al-Fitr is quite distinctive, and many tourists will gather in Lanzhou, which is very lively.
Xining
Xining, called Huangzhong in ancient times, is an ancient plateau city with a history of more than 2 100 years.
Xining used to be the base of Zhao Chongguo, the general of the Western Han Dynasty, the main road of Qinghai Road on the Silk Road, the important town connecting the Central Plains and the western frontier, and the only pass of the "Tang-Fan Ancient Road" in history.
Today, Xining is the end of Lanzhou-Qinghai Railway, the starting point of Qinghai-Tibet Railway and Qinghai-Tibet Highway, and it is still a transportation hub leading to the hinterland of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
Xining is surrounded by mountains and has a pleasant climate, with no severe cold in winter and no heat in summer. It's breezy in summer and crisp in autumn. This is a natural summer resort.
For many travelers, Xining is a transportation hub leading to Ta 'er Temple, Qinghai Lake or Tibet on the Qinghai-Tibet Line. After gradually adapting to the west, go to Lhasa.
But there are still places worth staying in Xining, such as Ta 'er Temple, Dongguan Mosque, Beichan Temple and nanzenji.
Religious temples dot the city and its surrounding areas. If you look closely, you can see the collision of ethnic integration, or go to nanshan park to see the night view of Xining, or go to the museum to see the development of the city.
Zhangye
Zhangye is located in the northwest of Gansu Province, 547 kilometers away from Lanzhou. It was called Ganzhou in ancient times and is one of the four counties in Hexi Corridor.
Location: Jiuquan and Jiayuguan in the west and Wuwei in the east. Together with Wuwei, it is also known as "Golden Zhangye and Silver Wuwei", reaching Badain Jaran Desert in the north into Inner Mongolia and crossing Qilian Mountain in the south to Qinghai.
Zhang Ye became famous because of Danxia landform, and Danxia became famous because of Zhang Yimou's movie Three Guns Surprise. Zhang Ye's Danxia is the first in the country in terms of color, and appreciation after rain is particularly romantic.
Besides Danxia, another must-see attraction in Zhangye is the Horseshoe Temple at the foot of Qilian Mountain. Horseshoe Temple has open forest meadows and beautiful natural scenery, and 90% Yugur people who can sing and dance live here.
As the saying goes, "if you don't look at the snow in Qilian Mountain, you mistakenly think that Zhangye is south of the Yangtze River." When you come to Zhangye, you will find that the rough northwest also has a feminine side.
Jiayuguan
This is the traffic artery of the ancient Silk Road. Zhang Qian once took a camel caravan full of silk and slowly headed west.
This is the western starting point of the Great Wall in Wan Li in the Ming Dynasty. Jiayuguan in ancient times, the vast Gobi, bid farewell to the homeland of the Central Plains and entered a wild land.
Today, Jiayuguan, an immigrant city developed by JISCO, has gathered people from Northeast China, Sichuan, Henan, Gansu and other places, bringing infinite vitality to this new city.
Jiayuguan rarely becomes an important trip point for traveling around Qinghai in Gansu, but mostly only serves as a stopover point between Dunhuang and Zhangye.
There are not many scenic spots in Jiayuguan, and the main scenic spots are all developed from Jiayuguan Chengguan culture. The first pier of the Great Wall is in the north of Jiayuguan, and the cantilever Great Wall and Guancheng are in the west.
The majestic and gentle Nanhu Wetland Park, the July 1st Glacier, the mysterious mural of Wei and Jin tombs and the large single wine cellar of Zixuan Wine Manor are all worth seeing.
Dunhuang
When it comes to Dunhuang, many people will think of the yellow sand all over the sky, the "flying" and ancient Buddha in the Mogao Grottoes, the rich western customs and the desolate Gobi.
Although the light of Dunhuang has gradually disappeared in history, the glory here is still visible.
"Dunhuang" means "grand", and this word is enough to show the glorious past here. Dunhuang, located at the westernmost end of Hexi Corridor, is a famous town on the ancient Silk Road.
History is the only way for the Central Plains to reach the Western Regions and even Europe. It is the meeting place of four ancient civilizations: China, Indian, Greek and Islamic. It is a big stage for all ethnic groups in the Western Regions, full of exotic customs and ancient legends.
The dusty Mogao Grottoes in history are called "art galleries in the desert" and "spiritual oasis of art and belief", which is the biggest reason why most travelers visit Dunhuang.
Mogao Grottoes is the largest and richest Buddhist art place in the world. Because it contains profound history, splendid culture, high artistic achievements and devout faith, it is known as a place that must come once in a lifetime.
In addition, there are the oasis crescent spring surrounded by Mingsha Mountain, the desolate desert Gobi in the west, the silent Buddha in the Thousand-Buddha Cave in the west and the strange "ghost town" in Ya Dan. ......
Yumenguan and Yangguan in poetry and songs, melons and fruits and wine in Dunhuang city, and golden Populus euphratica forest in autumn.
These all describe the postures in Dunhuang legends. This desert, once full of amorous feelings, is still radiant today.
Qomul
If you take the train from Xi to Urumqi, you will leave Jiayuguan, pass Liuyuan South Station and come to Hami.
Hami, located in the east of Xinjiang, is the gateway to the inland of Xinjiang, an oasis in the desert, with sweet cantaloupes and grapes.
When you come to Hami, don't miss the grassland scenery such as the ghost town of Wubao and the great white stone, and the screams of people in Mingsha Mountain.
You can also visit Wang Hui Tomb, Gaisi Tomb, Wubao Ancient Tombs, Tianshan Temple, Qin Cheng Rock Paintings, Miaoergou, Xinjiang West Road Army Memorial Park, Martyrs Cemetery, etc.
The ancient tomb of King Hami in the south of the city and the peculiar Ya Dan landform here add a mystery to Hami.
Urumqi
Urumqi is located at the northern foot of the Middle Tianshan Mountains and the southern edge of Junggar Basin, and is the capital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.
Urumqi is surrounded by mountains on three sides, with a flat and open plain in the north, Bogda Mountain and Dongshan Mountain in the east, Xishan Mountain and Tiangeer Mountain in the west and south respectively.
Just like every book has a preface, Urumqi is the preface of the whole Xinjiang-although it is not the most exciting part, no matter where your destination is, you should start from this "preface".
Xinjiang International Grand Bazaar is the largest Grand Bazaar in China at present. The dazzling array of goods makes people see things in a blur, and the Xinjiang songs and dances in the square make people stop.
Tianchi Lake in Tianshan Mountain is a half-moon lake on the north side of Bogda Peak in Tianshan Mountain. It is also the place where the story "Seven Swords Down the Tianshan Mountains" written by the legendary Queen Mother Yaochi and Liang Yusheng took place.
The glittering and translucent Jade Lake reflects Bogda Peak, surrounded by mountains, and covered with tall and green spruce and tassel pine.
You can stroll along the lake to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Tianchi, you can go boating in the lake and shuttle between the mountains, or you can take a cableway to the top of Maya to get a panoramic view of Tianchi.
