The reason why I wrote this travel report is to introduce my travel route, the attractions I visited, and the related time and cost to Ctrip's viewers. For your reference, report back the strategies I refer to.
From the beginning of the year to October in 2020, I stayed at home for more than half a year. The planned trip to Yunnan in March and Xinjiang in September were all in vain. I was thinking about where to go at home for a long time. It seems that the epidemic situation in the northwest is relatively low, so let’s go to the northwest. Hurry up to plan the route until October 4th. The main target is Taibai Mountain, the main peak of Qinling Mountains, Kongtong Mountain, a famous Taoist mountain, Maijishan Grottoes, and Yongle Palace in Shanxi. Along the way around these scenic spots, go to some scenic spots that have not been visited. Another problem is that the time to go near Taibai Mountain is after October 20, in order to see the red leaves of Qinling Mountains. The original design is to go back when you arrive in Lanzhou. If the time is not enough, Wuwei and Zhangye will be added. I need to plan three items in advance: driving directions, scenic spots to visit, three hotels or inns for each accommodation (two are backups), and reference guides.
The design route starts from Beijing—Yanmen Pass—Ningwu Wannian Ice Cave (the door was not opened the year before last)—Genghis Khan Mausoleum—Sand Lake—Helan Mountain Rock Painting—Ningxia Museum—Ningxia Royal Tomb—Shuidonggou—Qingtong Gorge—Shapo Head - Tianti Mountain Grottoes - Leitai Han Tomb - Zhangye Great Buddha Temple - Zhangye Danxia - Horseshoe Temple - Gansu Museum - Bingling Temple Grottoes - Kongtong Mountain - Maiji Mountain Grottoes - Baoji Bronze Museum - Famen Temple - Taibai Mountain - End Nanshan—Lintong—Yongle Palace—Hanguguan—Sanmenxia—Xiaolangdi—Wangwushan—Baligou (passed by last year but did not go there)——Guoliang Village, etc. The actual itinerary may be adjusted appropriately.
On October 6, 2020, I left home at 6:20 on the remaining three days after the holiday expressway was free, and took the Jingshi Expressway and Lailai Expressway to Yanmenguan. It has been very smooth. When driving near Fanzhi, AutoNavi suggested that the road to Yanmen Pass was closed and a new route was chosen, and the time needed to be extended by more than 40 minutes. Later, I learned that the front mountain of Yanmen Pass was not allowed to go, and I needed to enter the scenic spot from the back mountain. The trip has increased by more than 40 kilometers. When driving to Houshan, the Yanmenguan exit of the expressway is closed. You must get off the expressway at the next exit, and then go back to Yanmenguan Houshan, and arrive at Yanmenguan at 12:30.
Yanmen Pass, located in Yanmen Mountain about 20 kilometers north of Daixian County, Xinzhou City, Shanxi Province, is an important pass on the Great Wall. It is famous for its "dangerous" and is known as "the first pass in China". The door is the first". Together with Ningwu Pass and Pian Pass, they are called "Three Outer Passes".
Yanmenguan Scenic Spot is located on Gouzhu Mountain Ridge in the north of Daizhou Ancient City. Controlling the Central Plains in the south and controlling the Moyuan in the north is a grand military defense project in ancient China. In ancient times, it was called Beiling and Xiyang, in the Warring States period, it was called the first of the Nine Fortresses, in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, it was called the Beiting Sanguan, and in the Ming Dynasty, it was called the Shanxi Inner Sanguan. Historically known as Gouzhusai, Xiguan, and Xixingguan, it is famous for its majestic Guanshan and the gateway of Beisai. It is a treasure of China's Great Wall culture and pass culture. Yanmenguan Scenic Area was rated as one of the top ten outstanding tourism brands in Shanxi in 2009.
Tickets for Yanmenguan Scenic Area are 90 yuan, and Jingjiao tickets are purchased for 10 yuan per person.
The Yanmenguan Scenic Area is not bad. On the left side of the gate is the sculpture of the female general of the Yang family, and on the right is the sculpture of the Yang family general. The scenic spot is bigger than I imagined, and some enemy buildings are relatively high. We chose to enter the inner city from the outer city.
Going up and down around a watchtower to the highest point, you can see everything outside the pair of Great Walls.
We toured for about 2.5 hours.
After visiting Yanmen Pass, you need to go around to the front mountain of Yanmen Pass and rush to Ningwu Tianchi.
Tickets for Tianchi Scenic Spot are 40 yuan, we pay 5 yuan for parking, and drive into the scenic spot. I saw 2 lakes, the biggest one is called Ma Yinghai
Ningwu Tianchi is located at the foot of Guancen Mountain, 20 kilometers southwest of Ningwu County, Shanxi Province, at an altitude of 1954 meters. There are 15 large and small natural lakes such as Shuanghai and Laofuhai, with a total area of about 4 square kilometers and an altitude of 1771-1849 meters. The water storage capacity is 8 million cubic meters, and the water depth is more than 20 meters. Aquatic animals such as grass carp, carp, crucian carp and silver carp live in the pond. Also known as "Fenyuan Tianchi"
The other is the slightly smaller Pipa Sea.
In fact, it is a stagnant lake, only relying on rainwater to replenish the stored water. It was still fun. It takes about an hour.
I drove to Dongzhai Town for accommodation. It was getting dark. According to Ctrip’s introduction, I first found the 2016 Holiday Inn. The room I wanted was full, so I changed to the Luyashan Meicheng Express Hotel across the road. The local weather is really cold and they have already turned on the heater, so it's nice that the room is very warm. The next morning there was a layer of frost on the car glass.
On October 7th, I heard from the proprietress of the hotel that the strange stone in the pot is on the side of the road. You need to pay attention to looking for it. Many people missed it and didn't see it. So we were extra careful driving at a very slow speed and asking all the way.
In fact, it is relatively easy to find, so we were delayed for some time. There is a paid parking lot across the road, and the toll collectors who arrived early have not yet come.
We came to Hanging Village according to Gaode's navigation. We thought it was an ordinary small village on a cliff, but we didn't expect it to be a pretty hanging village. The ticket is 55 yuan, and the parking fee is 5 yuan to drive into the scenic spot with a steep slope.
Located in the depths of Guancen Mountain in the northwest of Luya Mountain, Shanxi Province, among the dense and verdant forests, there are three ancient and magical hanging villages: Wanghuagou Village, Wuhuashan Village, and Caojialiang Village, all of which belong to Censhan Township, Ningwu County. The three villages are very close to each other and are built between the cliffs. From a distance, they look like castles in the air, like people in the sky. The houses in the village are built on cliffs with a height of 100 meters, and the streets are "plank roads" supported by standing trees and paved with logs. In this ancient village, stone paths and quaint dwellings can be seen everywhere. The villagers live a leisurely farming life, working at sunrise and resting at sunset. The village is old and quiet, but it is famous far and wide.
It takes about 1.5 hours to walk up and down from the parking lot and turn around the small village.
The parking toll collector on the suspended plank road said that it would take 2.5 hours to go up the mountain, so we decided not to go. The hanging coffin at the stone gate did not go either.
After more than ten minutes, we arrived at the Wannian Ice Cave.
Wannian Ice Cave is located in Chunjingwa Village, 50 kilometers west of Ningwu County, Xinzhou City, Shanxi Province, next to the special tourist line, with an altitude of 2300 meters. According to the on-site investigation of cave experts from the Institute of Geology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, this cave was formed in the Cenozoic Quaternary glacial period, about 3 million years ago, hence the name Wannian Ice Cave.
Tickets are 120 yuan. Spend 5 yuan to take the scenery and deliver the car to the entrance of the ice cave. The ice cave is not big,
Still very beautiful. In fact, it has similarities with stalactites, but it is a variety of ice formed by the water dripping into the cave from the mountain, and it is still very beautiful with different colored lights. The tour ends at about 11 o'clock.
It is estimated to arrive in 4.5 hours to the Mausoleum of Genghis Khan.
When we arrived at the Mausoleum of Daghis Khan according to the navigation, we saw that the renovation of the scenic spot was closed. I asked the police, and he said that the first half of the scenic spot was closed for renovation, but you can still visit the back. We drove along the way according to the police’s narrative and felt wrong. When we arrived at a place that looked like a scenic spot, there were only unattended parking toll poles. Dare to say where Genghis Khan is buried. We decided not to enter the hotel where we were looking for accommodation.
I found the Pujin International Hotel in Dongsheng District. She said that there was no room we wanted, and there was still one on Ctrip, but I couldn't place an order. I decided to find Jingmeng International Hotel again. After arriving at the hotel, he said that the room I booked was only for one breakfast, and an additional 20 yuan was required for two people. He said you are from Beijing? I said yes, you don't want to give a discount, and he said that the single breakfast will be upgraded to double breakfast for you. I am very happy.
On the morning of October 8, the waitress asked me to add another 20 yuan. It was inconvenient for me to argue with her, so I gave her 20 yuan.
After getting on the expressway from Ordos, I encountered a suspenseful incident. The gas stations in two consecutive service areas were closed, but AutoNavi did not prompt. My car has only half a tank of gas left, and I dare not drive any further. I will be in big trouble if I can’t refuel in the next service area! We just exited the highway at the nearest exit and went to Sini Town to refuel. The worker told me that there are five service areas where refueling is not possible. I was terrified when I heard it.
We arrived at Shahu Scenic Area at 12 o'clock.
Shahu eco-tourism area has become a unique tourist attraction in China with its unique organic combination of lake water, sand mountains, reeds, flying birds and swimming fish. Shahu Lake is located between Shizuishan City and Pingluo County, 26 kilometers away from Shizuishan City and 56 kilometers away from the capital Yinchuan. The National Highway and Baolan Railway pass by the lake, and the Beijing-Tibet Expressway goes directly to Shahu Lake. The total area of the scenic spot is 80.10 square kilometers, of which the water area is 45 square kilometers and the desert area is 22.52 square kilometers. Shahu takes the natural landscape as the main body, and the five sources of sand, water, reeds, birds and mountains are organically combined to form a unique and beautiful landscape. .
Tickets are 50 yuan, buy a boat ticket for 70 yuan per person. We took the regular route to take a big boat to the sand dune scenic spot. Along the way, there were seagulls following the cruise ship to eat snacks fed by tourists. I didn't have it when I came here 10 years ago, and there were many seagulls when I went swimming in Lake Galilee in Israel.
After we got off the boat, we walked up the dunes and then played all the way on the dunes to the place closest to the pier and walked down the dunes. I went to a ruined sand sculpture scenic spot with few tourists.
The scenic spot is changed to disembarkation and boarding are no longer at the same pier. It takes about 4 hours (including the waiting time for the boat).
After the tour, we negotiated to change the accommodation to a place close to the rock paintings of Helan Mountain (originally planned to stay in Shizuishan City), and chose to stay in the Studio Hotel in Zhenbeibao Film and Television City. Dinner at a restaurant near the hotel.
In the evening, I communicated with Liang Ting (male waiter) of Ordos Jingmeng International Hotel on WeChat. I told him about the situation in the morning, and he said yes, that’s the price. Maybe you got it wrong. Our room price does not include meals. . Next time you come I'll give you free. I blocked and deleted his WeChat account.
On October 9th, I complained to Ordos Jingmeng International Hotel on Ctrip, and Ctrip made a return call. Then I wrote a review for Studio Hotel on Ctrip, saying that everything else is good. The only downside is that you can't use credit cards.
After breakfast, go to Helan Mountain rock paintings, the ticket is 60 yuan.
Helan Mountain Rock Painting is a national key cultural relic protection unit, a national AAAA-level tourist attraction, and an art gallery for Chinese nomads.
In ancient times, Helan Mountain was the place where the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Turkic, Uighur, Tubo, Dangxiang and other northern minorities lived, lived and multiplied. In the hinterland of Helan Mountain, which is more than 200 kilometers long from north to south, there are more than 20 remains of rock paintings. Among them, the most representative ones are Helankou Rock Paintings.
After entering the scenic spot, there has been a little black dog following us all over the scenic spot. Rock paintings are masterpieces of the Qiang Rong, Yuezhi, Huns, Xianbei, Tiele, Turks, Dangxiang and other ethnic groups who have been active in the Helan Mountain area since ancient times. The time is roughly from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the Xixia Period. Because it is an ancient petroglyph, it is not the "painting" I imagined.
"Sun God"
But still worth a look. When I walked out of the scenic spot, I saw a Han Meilin Art Museum.
I went in and looked at a lot of works.
2.5 hours in shared time.
Not far from the rock painting scenic spot is the Helan Mountain National Forest Park.
Helan Mountain National Forest Park is located in the suburbs of Yinchuan City, the capital of Ningxia, and is the closest national forest park to the provincial capital city in China. Helan Mountain National Forest Park is located in the middle temperate arid climate zone. The vegetation in the order of altitude from top to bottom includes: plateau shrub meadow belt, mountain coniferous forest belt, mountain sparse forest grassland belt and mountain grassland belt. The highest altitude in the park is 3483 meters , with a total area of 9587 hectares.
The park ticket is 60 yuan, and the Jingjiao ticket is 40 yuan per person. You must take the Jingjiao bus. At the beginning, you enter a ravine with stone mountains on both sides. After driving for nearly 20 minutes, there are many trees on the mountain. The staff introduced that the scenic spot has two parts, the southern area and the northern area.
Generally, people go to the South District, and the North District can only walk for a short distance, and then they are not allowed to go any further.
This is looking at the North District from the South District. If you look carefully, there is a plank road on the top of the mountain.
We didn't take the cable car and hiked to Qingsongling for about 25 minutes.
Walking the cable bridge is 30 yuan per person, we did not climb the higher century tower,
It takes about an hour to walk down the mountain and walk in the canyon from the back. After waiting for 10 minutes at Mizoguchi, I got on the bus back to the gate of the scenic spot, and I arrived in 10 minutes.
It took 1 hour and 25 minutes to drive to the Tomb of the Western Xia Dynasty, and the ticket was 75 yuan. I didn't ask for a ticket.
Xixia Royal Mausoleum, also known as Xixia Emperor Mausoleum and Xixia Imperial Mausoleum, is the tomb of emperors and royal tombs of Xixia Dynasty. The Royal Mausoleum is located in the west of Yinchuan City, Ningxia, adjacent to Helan Mountain in the west and Yinchuan Plain in the east, with an altitude of 1130 meters to 1200 meters. It is one of the largest and most complete imperial cemeteries in China and the largest existing Xixia cultural relics.
The scenic spot covers an area of more than 58 square kilometers, and the core scenic spot is 20.9 square kilometers. There are 9 emperor tombs and more than 200 burial tombs of princes and relatives. The scale is magnificent and the layout is strict. Each imperial mausoleum is an independent building group in a vertical rectangle facing north and south, and its scale is comparable to that of the Ming Tombs. Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, it has absorbed the directors of the imperial tombs of the Tang and Song Dynasties, and has been influenced by Buddhist architecture to form a unique form of Chinese cemetery architecture, so it is called the Oriental Pyramid.
First spend half an hour looking at the Xixia Museum, and then walk through the tunnel to the Jingjiao bus stop,
See the mausoleum in the distance and don't know how to go? It's completely different from the way I came here 10 years ago. Ask the management if you can buy a ticket at the boarding station? He helped to find 2 websites but couldn't buy Jingjiao tickets, so he said he had to go back to the visitor center to buy tickets.
I went back to the visitor center to file a complaint with the conductor. I said, you know that I am an old man and I am from another place, how could I not take a sightseeing bus. I came to the Xixia King's Mausoleum a few years ago and walked from the gate to the mausoleum. I thought it was still the same, so I didn't buy a Jingjiao ticket. You are the staff why didn't you remind us? Let me go back and forth between the visitor center and the Jingjiao bus twice for nearly ten miles to toss our elderly. I hope the scenic spot criticizes and educates the staff. The person at the consultation office took me to buy a Jingjiao ticket, and comforted me that the scenic spot will give you feedback on the processing results.
I walked back to the boarding station to continue the tour. The narrator said that tourists can visit other tombs by car,
After getting off the bus, visit Mausoleum No. 3.
This is the scenic spot moving the gate to a farther place, forcing tourists to buy Jingjiao tickets to increase income for the scenic spot. In the name of transforming the scenic spot, it is ready to apply for the world heritage!

During the tour, first take battery cars, yak carts, off-road vehicles, boats, camel carts, horse-drawn carriages and tractors, and the means of transportation are connected on foot. In fact, there are only two scenic spots worth seeing, one is the archaeological excavation site, and the other is the Tibetan soldier cave.
In Shuidonggou, we were "old", and it suddenly occurred to us that we were over 60 years old. In fact, we want to ride a camel when riding a yak cart, but the management staff said that we are not allowed to ride a camel if we are over 55 years old, we can only ride a yak cart. There are also requirements for off-road vehicles, but we didn't say our age and just took it. We left the scenic spot at 4 pm.
In addition, while riding a yak cart, I met a young man from Henan who worked in Shanghai. He came from Xinjiang and introduced that the Populus euphratica forest in southern Xinjiang has the best scenery around October 20. The Duku Highway was closed on October 6 this year. It seems that next year's itinerary to Xinjiang should be adjusted to go to northern Xinjiang first and then to southern Xinjiang. It snowed in Kanas before October 1st.

It's all making Shuidonggou noisy. I just want to ride a camel in the desert scenic spot. The staff didn't sell us a camel ride ticket and said we were over 60 years old. We talked to the administrator of the camel ticket office for a while, and after discussing with the camel driver, he agreed to let us ride, and arranged for the two of us to ride the front camel.
We thank them. After riding the camels, we went to the sand dunes to take pictures.
Take the Jingjiao bus to the Yellow River Scenic Area for about 8 kilometers. After getting off the bus, pass through the railway bridge hole.

There is a reclining Buddha in the main hall of the Great Buddha Temple. When I came last time, the tour guide said that some cultural relics were preserved in the body of the Great Buddha during the Cultural Revolution to avoid destruction. I don’t know if it is true or not.
There is also a Shanxi clubhouse in the temple, which is very exquisite.
I found the GreenTree Inn Hotel, the hardware conditions of the hotel are not bad. When I went out to find dinner, I walked to the snack street for 1.3 kilometers. Walking on the road, I remembered that I still need to live in Zhangye for a day tomorrow, so I booked another day's accommodation from Ctrip. Go to the snack street and have a bowl of gray bean soup first, then a bowl of fried beef, and finally go to a house to eat buckwheat roe.
On the morning of October 13th, I had breakfast at the restaurant next door. Depart for Binggou Danxia.
The total area of Binggou Danxia Scenic Area is 300 square kilometers, and the main tourist area is about 120 square kilometers. It is the most typical Danxia landform in the arid regions of China, and one of the most complete and unique Danxia landforms in China. It was rated as one of the "Seven Most Beautiful Danxia Landforms in China" and one of the "Top Ten Amazing Geographical Wonders in the World" by "China Geography" and "National Geographic".
It's almost 10 o'clock to Binggou. Tickets are 40 yuan, Jingjiao tickets are 20 yuan. We bought tickets for 2 ditches for 458 yuan [(199+20)*2+20 yuan] The first ditch is mainly for entertainment (the landscape is not as good as the second ditch)
First ride a camel, then drive a truck to the ditch, drive a go-kart to the previous fork road for 15 minutes and return at one point, then take a truck to another fork road, drive to the end, walk forward to a cross road and return for about 30 minutes .
In short, this ditch looks very vicissitudes and desolation.
Go back to the place where you ride the camel and wait for the bus at the scene, then take the bus to the second ditch. Her landform is dominated by sandstone landform relic landscape. Danxia cliffs, stone walls, stone pillars, peaks and hills are widely distributed in the scenic area. Steep, straight, continuous, majestic. It is the best-developed and largest geological and geomorphological relic of a window-shaped palace in China. It is also the geological naming place of "window lattice palace style Danxia". It is known as "China's first window lattice palace-style Danxia landform".
Go to Xiaoxitian scenic spot first.
Get off the bus and walk to the viewing platform, and return the same way.
Then drive to Daxitian scenic spot.
The camera ran out of battery at Daxitian scenic spot today.
The snow-capped Qilian Mountains in the distance are not very clear.
I had to take a picture with my phone.
Return to the parking lot before 14:30. Drive to Colorful Danxia.
Tickets for Colorful Danxia are 55 yuan, and 2 Jingjiao tickets are 40 yuan. Take the Jingjiao bus. The Jingjiao bus takes a single loop line and cannot go back. Go to the first viewing platform first.
There are a lot of people. The color bars of the mountain are not very bright, which may be due to the light.
The second viewing platform is No. 5 viewing platform, which has a good view, but compared with No. 4 viewing platform, it feels average.
From Observation Deck No. 5, you can see that there are people on Observation Deck No. 4. The view at the viewing platform No. 4 is really good.
The color of the mountain is bright and the stripes are clear, which is much more beautiful than the photos I saw taken by some tourists. Unfortunately, the camera ran out of battery, and the power cord was left in the hotel and could not be used to charge the camera. We originally wanted to wait for the sunset at Observation Deck No. 4, but what made us change our minds was that it was windy up the mountain, and the second was that there were too many people. I want to go back to Observation Deck No. 1 and wait for the sunset. Get off from Observation Deck No. 4 and take a bus to Observation Deck No. 2.
It's also very good. After taking pictures, I feel that everything is very good, so I don't need to go to the No. 1 viewing platform.
Colorful Danxia is indeed very beautiful, especially around Observation Deck No. 4, which is crowded with people. We went back to the hotel after we got off the viewing platform 2. It was getting dark when we arrived at the hotel. There were some restaurants on the street. I found one to eat something and went back to the hotel.
On the morning of October 14th, I went to the Pingshan Lake Grand Canyon and took Provincial Highway 237 to pay 17.10 yuan. To Pingshan Lake 8:30.
Zhangye Pingshan Lake Grand Canyon is about 60 kilometers away from Zhangye City. It is by far the closest compound tourist attraction in China to the city, integrating natural wonders, canyon exploration, geological scientific research, ethnic customs, and self-driving off-road. It is the Zhangye Landform Landscape Grand View Garden One of the most beautiful views in the world! It has been praised by "Chinese Geographic Magazine" and well-known Chinese and foreign geological experts and tourists as "comparable to Zhangjiajie", "comparable to the Grand Canyon of Colorado", and a new discovery of the Silk Road! The vicissitudes of wind and rain for hundreds of millions of years, the magic of nature. Here, the canyons are deep and the peaks and forests are peculiar. Nature has engraved the colorful mountains into incomparable and breathtaking landscape paintings with uncanny creativity.
Pingshan Lake is similar to Binggou, and there are also in-depth tours that charge more. Regular tour tickets are 100 yuan, Jingjiao tickets are 30 yuan per person. I didn't have much hope for Pingshan Lake,
The scenery seen on several viewing platforms is very ordinary. After walking down the Grand Canyon, the cliffs on both sides are getting higher and higher.
The scenery is getting better and better. I met a photographer in Beijing who introduced us to use the HDR function of the mobile phone and said that the mobile phone must be held steady, because it needs to take 3 photos to take the average value, so the photo taking time is a little longer and the hand must be steady.
Tried it and it seems a little better. Walking to the end of the canyon, there are two sections of rotating iron ladders and straight iron ladders to climb back to the top of the canyon.
Walked in the canyon for 2 hours. Sit back to the gate by car.
Drive to Horseshoe Temple for 2 hours.
14:30 arrived at the Horseshoe Temple. The ticket is 74 yuan, and the parking fee is 10 yuan. Cars can drive into the scenic spot.
Horseshoe Temple is located in Horseshoe Tibetan Township, Sunan Yugu Autonomous County, Gansu Province, 65 kilometers north of Zhangye City. It is a tourist area integrating grotto art, Qilian Mountain scenery and Tibetan customs. The grottoes are composed of Shengguo Temple, Puguang Temple, Thousand Buddha Cave, Jinta Temple, Upper, Middle and Lower Guanyin Caves. There are more than 70 caves and niches in total. They were first built in Beiliang. The Horseshoe Temple got its name because of the footprints of horseshoes left by the legendary celestial horses drinking water here. The legendary horseshoe imprint is now preserved in the Horseshoe Hall of Puguang Temple and has become the treasure of the town temple. There are actually two temples open in the scenic area.
What is distinctive is that there is an upward hole in the Thousand Buddha Hall from the hall.
There are no stairs but rather small nests buckled in the walls for climbing. I used my hands and feet to climb to the upper hall, but my wife didn't dare to climb up.
The small temple-like building in the middle of the cliff in the above picture is the window of a Buddhist temple, which is to climb to that temple through the hole cut in the cliff. Go out from the temple and drive about 5 kilometers, then walk for 20 minutes, bypass a small hill and arrive at the Horseshoe Temple.
After entering a small door in "33 days", climb the stairs in the rock,
Now there is a window, now into the rock,
It's very interesting, but the Buddha statues are new like the ones before.
From the Horseshoe Temple, go straight to Minle County. 1 hour to go. Stay at Holiday Inn Kyushu.
Had breakfast near the hotel on the morning of October 15th.
Depart from Minle Kyushu Holiday Hotel, pass National Highway 227, County Highway 211, Township Highway 345, and Jinfeng Castle Toll Station to Lianhuo Expressway. It takes 1 hour and 36 minutes, about 79 kilometers. Arrive at Gansu Museum at 2:00 pm.
Gansu Provincial Museum is located at No. 3 Xijin West Road, Qilihe District, Lanzhou City, Gansu Province. It is a national first-class museum. The history of the museum can be traced back to the Gansu Provincial Science Education Museum established by the Sino-British Boxer Indemnity Board in 1939.
There is no parking lot in the museum, so we had to park in a small market 500 meters ahead. The visit takes 2 hours.
See the original bronze Pegasus (horse stepping on a flying swallow) from the Leitai Han Tomb, and 13 Buddha statues from the Tiantishan Grottoes. All in all, the museum collection is not bad.
Three Dog New Cover Painted Pottery Square Ding (1800--1500BC)
Silkworm pattern double tank (2000BC)
Bronze gilt tiger-biting sheep-shaped vessel base (770--476BC)
Painted Trojan Horse (Han Dynasty)

Yellow River Elephant
After the visit, I found the Yimeiju Hotel booked by Ctrip.
Walk to the 4th Station near the hotel and take bus No. 108 to visit Zhongshan Bridge.
Lanzhou Zhongshan Iron Bridge is located at the foot of Baita Mountain in Lanzhou City, across the Yellow River. The project was undertaken by a German businessman. It was officially started in April 1908 and opened to traffic in August 1909. It cost more than 306,000 taels of silver. It is the first road bridge on the Yellow River. The total length is 243m and the width is 8.36m. The old name "Zhenyuan Bridge" was changed to "Zhongshan Bridge" in memory of Dr. Sun Yat-sen.
After visiting the Zhongshan Bridge, I walked back 2 stops and stopped at Zhouda Fried Noodles Jinchengguan store to eat beef and sour soup bird noodles and noodles.
On the morning of October 16th, I had breakfast on the street and went to the Bingling Temple Grottoes. The road was easy to walk. It seemed that the 208 county road was newly built and the road signs were not fully painted. There were very few cars and no speed limit. It is the winding mountain road with many consecutive turns. Arrive at Bingling Temple, which is the upper reaches of Liujiaxia Reservoir, before 10 am. The scenery is beautiful, with Danxia landform and reservoir scenery.
The Bingling Temple Grottoes are located on the cliff on the west side of Dasigou in Jishi Mountain, about 40 kilometers southwest of Yongjing County, Linxia Hui Autonomous Prefecture, Gansu Province, China. They were excavated in Dasigou on the North Bank of the Yellow River in the early years of the Western Jin Dynasty (about the 3rd century AD). On the cliff, it was officially established in the first year of Jianhong in the Western Qin Dynasty (420), with four floors. It was first called Tangshu Grottoes, which means "ghost cave" in the Qiang language. It was called Longxing Temple in Tang Dynasty, Lingyan Temple in Song Dynasty, and Bingling Temple after Yongle in Ming Dynasty. The simplification of "Bingling" means "thousand Buddhas" and "one hundred thousand Maitreya Buddha Islands". There are 183 caves and niches, a total of 694 stone statues, 82 clay sculptures, and about 900 square meters of murals, distributed on the cliff face about 200 meters long and 60 meters high on the west bank of Dasigou. The main body of the grotto is the Tang Dynasty "Natural Giant Buddha" (Cave 169) located on the high cliff and many small and medium-sized caves in the middle of the cliff. On June 22, 2014, at the 38th UNESCO World Heritage Committee meeting held in Doha, Qatar, the Bingling Temple Grottoes were listed as the "Silk Road: Chang'an-Tianshan Mountains" jointly applied by China, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. A site in the “Road Network of Corridors” was successfully listed on the World Heritage List.
Tickets are 50 yuan. We also bought 132 and 169 special cave tickets, two tickets for 90 yuan and two tickets for 300 yuan, and the total ticket for special caves was 780 yuan.
Go up to Laojun Cave first, and then there are some small Buddhist niches. Many niches have screen doors, and the screen doors can't be seen clearly inside.
Cave 3 (Prosperous Tang Dynasty)
Many caves are not allowed to be seen, explaining that the plank road is dangerous. The roadside niches and caves are separated by railings and screen doors. Individual niches also have colors that can be photographed.
Let's first see that Cave 132 is from the Northern Wei Dynasty, most of which are mud tires, and some are damaged. What's interesting is that the mouths of the Buddha statues are all black. The tour guide said that the people who worshiped Buddha wiped them with tsampa.
From Cave 132, climb the stairs to Cave 169 and Cave 172. The situation of the Buddhist Caves is described in more detail on the Internet than I am.
What I want to say is that climbing cave 169 requires several turns of stairs, which are said to be more than 60 meters high. When buying tickets, I was asked if I have a fear of heights. The Buddhist altar is actually a large open cave high above. It is estimated that there were murals on the surface of the original cave, but there are very few extant ones, and the statues are also seriously damaged. It is said that the surface of murals and sculptures is now protected, and some facilities are placed to prevent birds from staying.
On the murals in Cave 169, there is an ink calligraphy inscription of "the first year of Jianhong in the Western Qin Dynasty (420)", which is the earliest inscription in the grottoes in the country.
The 27-meter-high seated Buddha in Niche 171 is a clay sculpture with a stone body, with some cracks on the surface, and the artistic level is average.
On the opposite bank is the Temple of the Reclining Buddha.
In addition, there is an inscription by Zhao Puchu in Laojun Cave, and an inscription by Shu Tong in Bingling Temple Grotto.
We finished the visit at 12:50.
In order to go to Dingxi City earlier and take the expressway, it turned out that the original road returned to the South Ring Road of Lanzhou City and then took the Lanzhou South Expressway. I took a break halfway and added 30 liters of oil. When I arrived in Dingxi City before 6 o'clock, the first Chunjiang Hotel I looked for was in the railway station square. I didn't see it for the first time, but I saw it when I turned around and came back, but I didn't know how to get in, so I gave up on it and looked for Tuwo Holiday Hotel. The water is not hot, the air conditioner is not hot, the Internet is not good, and there is no TV. Hi! Let's make a living for one night!
The next target is Kongtong Mountain, which is located in Pingliang City, Gansu Province, and is the fortress of the Silk Road west of Guanzhong. It has been known as "the first mountain of Taoism in China" since ancient times. It is connected to Liupan Mountain in the west, Qinchuan in the east, Guanshan in the south, Xiaoguan in the north, surrounded by Jinghe River and Yanzhi River in the north and north, and meets in front of Wangjia Mountain. The altitude is between 1456 and 2123.5 meters, and the vertical height is 667.5 meters, the main peak is 2123 meters above sea level, the forest coverage rate is over 95%, and the total area is 83.6 square kilometers. Legend has it that Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, revered as the ancestor of the humanities, once visited Kongtong Mountain in person to ask the wise man Guang Chengzi for advice on the way of governing the country and the art of health preservation; Emperor Qin and Han Wu also came here admiringly; There are many praises in the writings of the same literati. Kongtong Wushu is known as one of the five major schools of Wushu in China. Since 1994, Kongtong Mountain has won the title of National Key Scenic Spot, the first batch of 5A-level tourist attractions in the country, a national geological park, a national nature reserve, "Top Ten Influential Brands in China's Tourism Industry", "China's Tourism Culture Demonstration Site" ", "Top Ten Taoist Cultural Tourism Resorts in China" and "Top Ten Most Beautiful Religious Mountains in China" and other laurels.
Depart from the hotel at 7:15 on October 17, arrive at Kongtong Ancient Town before 10:00 and stop outside the ancient town to find the Wuwei Palace Hotel to confirm that the accommodation order is valid. The ticket is 110 yuan, and the one-way ticket for Jingjiao is 32 yuan per person, and you can take the Jingjiao bus to Zhongtai.
There was a stage set up in the middle stage and there was a performance, but we didn't watch it.
First visit Dongtai,
Tower Courtyard, through the Chaotian Gate at 11:30,
The ladder is quite steep
Arrive at the Imperial City at 12:30, arrive at the Xiangshan Scenic Area at 13:30, pass by during this process
Leisheng Peak is under maintenance and visitors are not allowed to visit. In Xiangshan, I visited Xiangshan Temple and Hunyuan Building. Go down the mountain and pass the ladder to go to the West Terrace to climb the Sheshen Cliff.
The Sheshen Cliff on the west platform is a very steep staircase. There are no steps to the Sheshen Cliff. There are iron chains on both sides of the road, which is very difficult to walk. It is said that you can reach the imperial city if you go up. During the period, there seemed to be some local tourists who came up and down with their children to climb this section of the road, so we returned to Zhongtai the same way. After resting for a while, I bought a Jingjiao ticket and went down the mountain. Go down to the gate of the scenic spot at about 4 o'clock. We deliberately procrastinated for some time because we live in the ancient town and it doesn't make sense to go down the mountain too early.
Looking up at Hunyuan Tower
Overlooking Zhongtai
Back to the ancient town to the hotel to get the room card, we went to the snack street to have dinner, pick up the luggage and go back to the hotel.
On the morning of October 18, we left at 7:30 after breakfast. In a place in Ningxia on the way, a 50-year-old man riding an electric tricycle didn’t look at the road. When I was turning on the road, I had already honked the horn and braked. Cover, open the fuel tank all the way. We got out of the car and scolded him a few times, but we couldn't understand what he said. In the end, we saw that there would be no results, so we drove away thinking we were unlucky. If you think about it afterwards, you will be afraid. It is best to stop the car before encountering such a situation in the future.
Arrive at Maiji Mountain Scenic Area at 12 o'clock. This is the last grotto we went to among the four major grottoes in China. Maiji Mountain Grottoes (Maiji Mountain Grottoes): World Cultural Heritage, National AAAAA Tourist Scenic Spot, National Key Scenic Spot, National Forest Park,
National Geological Park, a national key cultural relic protection unit, and one of the four major grottoes in China. Maiji Mountain is located in Maiji District, Tianshui City, Gansu Province. It is an isolated peak in Xiaolong Mountain, with a height of 142 meters. It is named because the shape of the mountain resembles a stack of wheat. The Maijishan Grottoes were built in 384-417. There are 221 caves, 10,632 clay sculptures and stone carvings, and more than 1,300 square meters of murals. They are world-famous for their exquisite clay sculpture art and are known as the Oriental Sculpture Art Exhibition Hall.

With profound tourism value, it is a dazzling art pearl and the most potential tourist attraction on the golden tourism line of the Silk Road. The Maijishan Grottoes retain a large number of physical materials in religion, art, architecture, etc., which reflect the characteristics of statues in various ages for more than a thousand years, reflect the development and evolution of Chinese clay sculpture art, enrich the history of ancient Chinese culture, and serve as a guide for future generations. The study of Chinese Buddhist culture provides a wealth of information and historical facts.
Tickets are 90 yuan, and sightseeing tickets are 15 yuan per person for a round trip. This time I did not buy a ticket for the special cave.
Cave 009
Cave 004
Cave 005
These caves are open and not blocked by iron screens and iron railings, so they are still very beautiful. I took pictures through the screened window
Cave 163
Buddha statues in Cave 132.
The whole trip took nearly 2 hours, plus half an hour before and after. The details of the scenic spot are very clear on the Internet. In short, the grottoes are worth visiting.
I drove to Dong'an Express Hotel in Tianshui, and found Dong'an Hotel after turning around twice near the hotel. I drove into the parking lot, and the waiter at the hotel lobby said that I was looking for Dong'an Express Hotel, which was next door. I hurried to the next door. After checking in at the Anton Express Hotel, I ran back to the parking lot of the Dongan Hotel and drove to the parking lot of the Anton Express Hotel. The hotel is close to the train station, which is more lively. We went shopping on the street and had dinner.
October 19
In the morning, I had breakfast at the restaurant opposite the hotel and drove to Fuxi Temple. There was no place to park when I arrived at Fuxi Temple. I walked around Fuxi Temple from the east to the south to the west to find a parking space. Tickets are 20 yuan.
Tianshui Fuxi Temple is currently the largest and best-preserved Ming Dynasty architectural complex commemorating Fuxi, one of the ancient "Three Emperors" (Fuxi, Shennong, Xuanyuan). In 1963, the People's Government announced it as a key cultural relic protection unit in Gansu Province. The site of Fuxi Temple is located on Fuxi Road, Xiguan, Qincheng District, Tianshui City. The ancient buildings of Guatai Mountain were completely destroyed;
However, the main buildings, statues and other cultural relics of the Fuxi Temple in Tianshui City are basically well preserved due to a series of protective measures taken by the cultural department of Tianshui City in a timely manner. Many domestic experts and scholars believe that paying attention to the protection of this group of buildings has a very important material value for studying the ancient history of our country, exploring the architectural art of the Ming Dynasty, and investigating the local folk customs of Tianshui. According to historical records, the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty highly praised the "Three Emperors".
The Fuxi Temple is not big, and there are several cypress trees that are 600 to 1000 years old. I finished shopping in half an hour.
I followed National Highway 316 to Feng County via Hui County, but the navigation insisted on taking the Lianhuo Expressway, which made us turn around twice. We had no choice but to ask the traffic police at the entrance of the expressway. He pointed out how to get on National Highway 316 and left around 10 o’clock. on the right track.
On National Highway 316, the traffic jam started before 11 o'clock, and the AutoNavi navigation didn't find it. The workers were repairing the road, and the traffic jam lasted for an hour. We went to Lingguan Gorge to take photos of red leaves along the road. about 2 hours. Pieces of red leaves along the road are really beautiful.
I went to the Shancheng Hotel (B&B) first and there was no room, so I washed the car on the side of the road in Fengxian County for 25 yuan. Then find Lingjiang Hotel, the surrounding environment is a little far from the center of the county and there are fewer service facilities.
On the morning of October 20th, I had breakfast outside the hotel. I walked out of Fengxian County and took Provincial Highway 212. The red leaves along the way were really beautiful, so I stopped to take pictures. Crossing the source of the Jialing River and taking 18 bends, it is not as evil as it is uploaded on the Internet, but there are a little more bends, and it is not so dangerous.
Dasanguan is the only fortress in Guanzhong leading to the southwest. Since ancient times, it has been the throat of Bashu and Hanzhong entering and exiting Guanzhong, and its strategic position is very important. There have been more than 70 battles for clearance in history. Due to its important strategic position, Dashan Pass has been one of the four major gates in Guanzhong (Hangu Pass in the east, Wuguan Pass in the south, Dashan Pass in the west, and Xiao Pass in the north) since ancient times. The trend of opening is known as one of the top ten famous passes in China.
When we arrived at Dasanguan, the ticket was 50 yuan. A group of little girls took pictures at the gate and did not enter the scenic spot, and neither did we.
The internal road leading to the Mausoleum of Emperor Yan passed through the neighborhoods of several residents. Many residents' cars were parked on the side of the road.
Yandi Mausoleum is located in Shennong Town, Weibin District, Baoji City, on Changyang Mountain in Shennong Township, and is the main place for descendants of Yan and Huang to seek their roots and worship their ancestors. Emperor Yan was born on the bank of Jiangshui (in today's Baoji City) from about 6,000 to 5,500 years ago. With the development of history, his descendants migrated southeast along the Weishui River to Hubei, Hunan, Shanxi and other places. In a broad sense, Emperor Yan is a clan A tribe, in which several lineages exist. Therefore, there are five hometowns of Yan Emperor (the hometown of Yan Emperor) in the whole country. Baoji in Shaanxi, Suizhou in Hubei, Yanling County and Huitong County in Hunan, and Gaoping County in Shanxi are regarded as the hometown of Emperor Yan. Among them, the first and second emperors of Yan lived in Baoji, Shaanxi. According to the first generation, Emperor Yan only existed in Baoji. Baoji is the hometown of Emperor Yan and one of the birthplaces of the Chinese nation. Tickets are 20 yuan.
There are not many people visiting the scenic spot. There is a large square in front of it, and the main hall is very high. In the hall, some clan members of the surname spent money to build the ancestral hall of their surname, which is relatively empty.
Going around to the back of the main hall, there are extremely high steps, and on both sides are statues of emperors and celebrities from the Han Dynasty and before.
The visit takes about 1.5 hours.
The Bronze Ware Museum is in Shigu Park, you can drive up there, and the parking fee is not expensive at 5 yuan.

It is said that the bronzes of the Baoji Bronze Museum are famous for their inscriptions, but the bronzes seen in the museum did not pay attention to the inscriptions introducing it. We walked around for an hour and a half.
After visiting the Bronze Ware Museum, drive to Famen Temple. It takes more than an hour to arrive at Famen Temple at 2:30. Tickets are 100 yuan.
Famen Temple, also known as "True Body Pagoda", is located in Baoji City, the hometown of Emperor Yan and the hometown of bronzes, and is a national key cultural relics protection unit.

Gilt bronze pagoda (an enshrined fourth Buddha bone relic), etc. Visited the tall buildings of the New Famen Temple. 2 hours shared time.
Drive directly to the Taibai Mountain Visitor Center to learn about the details of the tour. The staff said that you can't go to Baxiantai because it's snowing on the mountain. It was disappointing that one of the original plans was a 13-hour round-trip to Baxiantai. Many people said that it was impossible to go to Baxiantai due to snow on the mountain. The original plan was to take the scenery transfer car to Xiaban Temple and take the cable car to Shangban Temple to climb to Tianyuan. As a result, the small cable car was out of service and it was impossible to take the small cable car. You can only buy round-trip tickets for the big cable car. I met two Beijingers who said it was very cold on the mountain. Introduce us to the place to stay, and the conditions of the homestay are generally 100 yuan. Wash the car at their house after dinner.
Decided not to climb to the summit tomorrow, but to go down to the bottom of the mountain before 3 pm and walk towards Zhongnan Mountain.

Turned around at Tianyuan (3511 meters above sea level).
There is a stone tablet on the boundary between north and south of China in Tianyuan. She marks the watershed of climate, geography and water system between north and south in China. Therefore, there is a saying that one foot is on the north and south, and one water flows two domains (Yangtze River and Yellow River).
11:10 Start walking to Xiaowengong Temple,
The snow and ice on the road made it difficult to walk, although we walked there in 20 minutes
Xiaowengong Temple (3200 meters above sea level). It may be that I was walking in a hurry, I felt a little dizzy, it should be a slight high reaction. I didn’t feel this way when I went to Hailuogou at 4,000 meters, Yading (Five Color Sea) at 4,600 meters, and the base camp at 5,200 meters. At Xindu Bridge (3460 meters), the feeling of high altitude is that the legs and feet are weak.
Qinling Overlook
I saw more than a dozen people walking towards the Dawengong Temple. We walked back from the Xiaowengong Temple, and left regrets in Taibai Mountain. It was around 14:30 when we returned to the hotel to pick up the car.
Drive to the ancient Guanyin Temple in Chang'an District, Xi'an.
Xi'an Zhongnanshan Ancient Guanyin Temple was first built in the Tang Dynasty (628 A.D.) and has a history of about 1400 years. It is one of the thousand-year-old temples in Zhongnanshan. There are really many people who come to Guanyin Temple, most of them are young people. Tourists mainly look at the thousand-year-old ginkgo trees,
According to legend, it was planted by Tang Taizong Li Shimin himself.
The temple is not big but quite elegant. We were there for about 40 minutes.
Stay at Guangyun Hotel in Chang'an District. Dinner on the street.
Had breakfast on the street on the morning of 22 October.
Drive for one hour to Cuihua Mountain,
According to legend, Qin Wang Yingzheng used to hunt and relax here; Emperor Wudi of Han once set up a temple here to worship the god Taiyi; Tang Wang Li Shimin spent summer here. The scenic spot didn't open until nine o'clock.
The ticket is 65 yuan, and the car can be driven to the parking lot on the mountain for 25 yuan. Let's first visit the Tianchi Landslide Science Entertainment Area,
There are collapsed stone seas, ice caves and wind tunnels.
Attractions such as Tianchi,
After hesitating again and again, I still haven't climbed Taiyi Peak, and the time has been nearly 3 hours. Driving to Yifangyun Ecological Leisure Resort, basically no one has a car. It is said that it takes 3 hours to walk back and forth into the ditch, but I decided not to go again.
Cuihua Mountain is actually very big. In addition to the collapsed Shihai scenic spot, you can walk upstream through Tianchi District to Ganqiuchi District and enter Yuxiangou Adventure Road to cross to Yifangyu Scenic Area. This is a loop, of course, it will take a long time to walk Yes, it's a hiking route, we didn't go this way.
It takes about an hour to drive from Cuihua Mountain to Huaqing Pool in Lintong. Parking is easy.
Tickets for Huaqing Pool are 120 yuan.
After entering the gate, we first visited the site of the "Xi'an Incident".
Then walk to Zhuojiang Pavilion (now known as Bingjian Pavilion)
We came down from the Jiangzhai Pavilion and continued to visit Huaqing Pool with the crowd.
It took 2 hours to visit 5 dry hot spring pools (Begonia Soup, Lianhua Soup, Xingchen Soup, Shangshi Soup, and Prince Soup),
It's full of tourist groups.
Live in Pai Baiyun Hotel in Lintong. Had dinner nearby.
On October 23, it took 2.5 hours from Lintong to Yonglegong Expressway.
Tickets for Yongle Palace are 50 yuan,
In Yongle Palace, listen to the murals of the three main halls.
The best murals are in the Wuji Hall or Sanqing Hall, which are murals from the Yuan Dynasty.
The second hall is the Chunyang Hall dedicated to Lu Zu and introducing Lu Zu's life.
The third hall is Chongyang Hall, which introduces the situation of Lu Dongbin's disciple Wang Chongyang and his seven disciples. Chongyang Hall is the simplest in architectural structure among the three halls. The murals in Yongle Palace are well preserved.
In fact, the parking fee of Yongle Palace is free. You don’t need to enter the parking lot when you drive, just park in front of the gate.
It takes nearly 1 hour to drive from Yongle Palace to Hangu Pass, the ticket is 70 yuan, and the parking fee is 10 yuan.
Hangu Pass is the thoroughfare throat from ancient times to Chang'an in the west and Luoyang in the east, and the intersection of Henan culture and Qin and Jin cultures; The birthplace of stories and legends. In the long history, here is famous at home and abroad for celebrities (Lao Tzu), famous books ("Tao Te Ching"), and famous passes (Hangu Pass).
There are three Hangu Passes in history: Qinguan is located in Wangduo Village, 15 kilometers north of Lingbao City, Henan Province, about 75 kilometers away from Sanmenxia City; Hanguan moved east to Luoyang Xin'an County, 150 kilometers west of Qinguan. The other site is called Weiguan, which is 5 kilometers north of Qinguan, but it was submerged during the construction of the Sanmenxia flood dam and ceased to exist.
Hangu Pass is an important pass in ancient my country and one of the important military passages in ancient times. Because it is located in a dangerous place, it is located on the plateau in the west, Juejian in the east, Qinling Mountains in the south, and the Yellow River in the north. It is named "Hangu Pass" because it is located in the canyon, as deep and dangerous as a letter.
Hangu Pass is the holy land of the sacred valley where the great thinker and philosopher Lao Tzu wrote the Taoist school's 5,000-word masterpiece "Tao Te Ching" in ancient my country, and the birthplace of Taoist culture;
There are very few tourists in Hanguguan Scenic Area, most of them are introducing content related to Lao Tzu.
There is a tall statue of Lao Tzu. Tao Te Ching is engraved everywhere. Finally came to the tower of Hangu Pass. After that, we walked back to the gate of the scenic spot for 1 hour. . It was 2:30 in the afternoon.
After hesitation, I decided to go to Sanmenxia again and again.
The Sanmenxia Reservoir was built with the help of former Soviet experts. Less than a year after the reservoir was built, a large amount of sediment was deposited in the Weihe River Basin, the river bed was raised, large tracts of fertile land were submerged, and the land was rapidly salinized. The danger was approaching that of the ancient capital Xi'an. Forced to have no choice but to lower the water level, dismantle the 150,000-kilowatt generator set, and refit a 50,000-kilowatt small unit. Simultaneously, an astonishing amount of manpower, material and financial resources are expended to get through the drainage holes to discharge the silt.
To the Sanmenxia Dam Scenic Area, the ticket is 30 yuan, the parking fee is 5 yuan, and the car can drive to the dam.
Walking to the dam and seeing the opening of the gate to release the water, although it is not as good as Xiaolangdi, it is quite spectacular.
There is a dividing line between Henan and Shanxi on the dam, which is called crossing the two provinces with one foot. You can also take the elevator down from the dam to the bottom of the dam,
Watch the dam release water in parallel.
Return to the Meitian Hotel in Sanmenxia City, there are only double bed rooms, stay here.
On October 24, I drove for 2.5 hours to Xiaolangdi. The lanes of passenger cars and trucks on the expressway were separated by guardrails. It seemed that the original two-way expressway was changed to a one-way road (widened). Gaode told us to take the truck road in advance. At that time, he was a little hesitant to think that it was not safe to take the truck lane, so he still took the passenger car lane. The result was a tragedy. Go forward, and then Gaode Navigation revises the driving route. The high-speed fee seems to be 49 yuan. Go to the bridge opposite Xiaolangdi Dam,
Xiaolangdi didn't open the gates to release water and sand, so there was nothing to see and decided not to go to the scenic spot.
Go to Wangwu Mountain.
Wangwu Mountain Scenic Area is a national AAAA-level scenic spot with a total area of 265 square kilometers. Wangwushan is centered on the main peak of the Temple of Heaven (it is said to be the place where the Yellow Emperor of the Xuanyuan family prayed to heaven, named "Tiantan") as the center. Here, a mountain protrudes, surrounded by peaks, and surrounded by hills and hills. It has a unique "royal demeanor". . Wangwu Mountain Scenic Area is located in Jiyuan City in the northwest of Henan Province. It is adjacent to Taihang in the east, Zhongtiao in the west, Taiyue in the north, and the Yellow River in the south. The Holy Land of Quanzhen Sect. It is also the hometown of Yugong, the story of Yugong digging mountains is well-known because of the records in "Liezi" and Mao Zedong's quotation in "Yugong Moves Mountains".
When we arrived at Wangwushan, the police closed several intersections and turned around to the parking lot. Only then did I know that Wangwu Mountain held a walking meeting.
Tickets are 50 yuan. The ticket seller in the scenic spot told us that there is no sightseeing bus now, and the sightseeing bus tickets will not be sold until 12:00. We went to the Balcony Palace and saw
The seven-leaf bodhi tree has a circumference of nearly 3 meters and a height of 14 meters. It is said that it was left in the Tang Dynasty.
Thousands of years old trees and
Daluo Sanjing Hall (the largest existing Ming Dynasty wooden structure palace building in Henan Province),
The most eye-catching feature of Yuhuang Pavilion (the largest existing Ming Dynasty pavilion-style building in Henan Province) is the triple-eave pavilion-style building. Dozens of pairs of stone-carved pillars on the main building make this religious holy place a palace of stone carving art; the pillars are engraved with rolling cloud dragons, birds facing the wind, magpies making plum blossoms, and Su Wu shepherding sheep; Chiyou's Yellow Emperor and others.
After entering the gate of the scenic spot, take a sightseeing bus for about 7-8 minutes to arrive at a stop. Walking forward, you can see a ginkgo tree that is thousands of years old. Unfortunately, the ginkgo tree has not yet turned yellow.
This is the oldest ginkgo tree (also known as ginkgo tree, Gongsun tree) in Wangwu Mountain. It is located about 200 meters above the parking lot in Wangwu Mountain Scenic Area, on the left side of Shangshan Road. This ginkgo tree has a height of 45.7 meters and a chest circumference of 9.4 meters. It can only be embraced by eight people. It is locally known as "seven floors and eight crutches". It covers an area of more than mu and is one of the five largest ginkgo trees in China. It has a history of more than 2,000 years. It is the largest existing ginkgo tree in my country and a magical tree of immortality.
Continue to walk forward for 10 minutes, passing the intersection where you hike up the mountain.
Go forward and come to another bus point to line up for a few minutes and then get to the cable car station. It takes about 20 minutes by cable car to reach the upper station of the cable car.
Hike up to Tiantan Mountain (more than 1,700 meters above sea level).
14:22 we started down the mountain along the way there is no landscape. After walking for about 1.5 hours, we came to the bus point of Ginkgo Tree, and arrived at the parking lot by car. Set Jiyuan Ginza Business Hotel on Ctrip. Arrived at the hotel at 6 o'clock.
Breakfast on October 25th is provided by the hotel for free, and the buffet is okay.
2.5 hours from Ginza Business Hotel to Baligou Tourist Service Center.
Tickets are 80 yuan. Jingjiao ticket is 40 yuan per person, valid for two days. The tourist service center is eight feet away from the gate of the scenic spot to collect tourists' Jingjiao tickets. Every day before 8:00 in the morning and after 5:00 in the evening, tourists can drive to the gate of the scenic spot by taking the scenic transportation line.
We took the Jingjiao bus to the gate of Baligou at 11 o'clock and started to walk.
Take a break for lunch.
Arrive at the Tianhe Waterfall scenic spot at 1:00 p.m. and walk around the Shuilian Cave.
Going back to the ladder, the fee is 20 yuan per person.
The sky ladder is to install an iron ladder on the rock wall that goes straight up and down. It is said to be 168 meters long. We met a person from Sichuan Bazhong who worked in real estate in Zhengzhou on the ladder. Chat all the way. When he reached the Hongshi River, Li Jiqing stumbled and stepped into the water. She straightens her wet shoes. We ask Sichuan people to go first. We walked to Yixiantian scenic spot and started to descend the mountain.
The road is built on irregular rocks, it is very difficult to walk, it is not as good as a ladder. When walking back, I saw the battery car in the scenic spot for 10 yuan per person. We felt that we should have arrived at the gate of the scenic spot not too far away and decided to go out. It turned out that this was a wrong decision. I walked a long way for more than an hour before returning to the gate of the scenic spot. I took the scenic bus and returned to the visitor center at about 5:30.
Navigating to Hongdou Mountain Villa, I found that I needed to go back to the gate of Baligou Scenic Area. When I was about to arrive, I saw an inn 168 Express Farmhouse by the roadside, so I decided not to go any further and live in their house. In fact, this is also one of the alternative accommodation.
On October 26, I had breakfast at 168 Express Farm, and drove to Tianjie Mountain before 8:00. Tickets are 60 yuan.
Tianji Mountain is located in the hinterland of Taihang Mountain. It is located at the junction of Shanxi Province and Henan Province, 35 kilometers away from Pingshun County and 18 kilometers away from Linzhou City, Henan Province. With a total area of 1419.1 hectares and an altitude of 1886 meters, the scenic spot is known as the "Spine of the Sky". Tianji Mountain is known as "Sai Jiangnan", with intact vegetation, clear spring water, and beautiful legends... a collection of the essence of Taihang landscape, integrating strangeness, danger, beauty, beauty and seclusion, and a pleasant climate. , An ideal place for adventure sketching.
The forest coverage rate of Tianji Mountain Natural Scenic Area is over 90%. The mountain peak is dangerous and unique, soaring into the sky, straight into the sky. The mountain is distributed in three levels of cliffs. In the scenic area, the water flows continuously in all seasons, and various waterfalls and springs are scattered throughout the valleys. The peaks and ridges are emerald, the vegetation is various, and the cliffs, canyons, and clear pools are even more breathtaking.
After swiping the ID card at the gate of the scenic spot, take the Jingjiao bus (the ticket is valid for 2 days) to the Tianjie Mountain Scenic Area through the Huilongguabi Highway.
Some tourists go back to the Huilong Hangbi Highway for sightseeing. We have already walked through several Hangbi Highway, so we are no longer surprised by it.
8:50 to start around Laoyeding. The weather is bad, foggy and hazy,
Go forward and walk to the viewing platform, which is a rectangular rock protruding from the vertical cliff.
Below you can see Shimen Reservoir, along the road and a small part of the Baligou scenic area.
You can see the 168 Express Farmhouse where we stayed. Going forward, the cliff plank road is quite long.
Going out of the plank road and turning around the mountain bag is the glass plank road. There are people on duty for free and you need to wear shoe covers
, Looking at the suspended height under the glass, I still feel a little nervous. In the end, there is a courage testing platform, which is actually a viewing platform welded with iron plates and iron railings, which is not scary at all. We had something to eat on the way and returned to the boarding point of the Jingjiao bus. It was nearly 12 o'clock and we walked for 3 hours. Take the car back to the gate of the scenic spot and pick up the car. Discuss that the next step is not to go to Jiulian Mountain and Guoliang Village. But I couldn't return to Beijing for half a day, and I needed accommodation in the middle, so I decided to go to the East Taihang Mountains in Handan for a while before returning to Beijing.
I drove for more than 2 hours on the ordinary road, got on the expressway in Linzhou, took a nap in the Qugou service area, and went to the Sinopec gas station to ask them to normalize the balance in the card (the 1,000 yuan recharged when I went out was in the reserve fund cannot be used normally). Continue to move forward and enter the Beijing-Hong Kong-Macau G4 Expressway. The Henan traffic police will drive all the vehicles into the service area for selective inspection. We were allowed to pass without checking, and after a short walk into Hebei, there was another inspection, this time our ID card and my driver's license were checked. Get out of Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao Expressway and transfer to Qinglan Expressway. It was around 5:30 to arrive at the White Swan Hotel in Wu'an City, and there were two free dinners and two breakfasts for check-in. This is the first time I have had a free dinner after going out so many times. The buffet dinner has four cold dishes and a few vegetarian hot dishes. After dinner, I walked around the street and moved the car to the parking lot behind the hotel.
On the morning of October 27, after breakfast at the hotel, drive to the East Taihang Scenic Area.
The ticket for the scenic spot is 65 yuan, and the discounted ticket is 150 yuan for the ticket plus the cable car ticket and 4 elevator tickets.
In order to save money, the scenic spot lied that the cable car maintenance made us wait for more than 10 minutes. It took a group of people to drive the cable car.
After we got on Nantianmen, the cable car stopped again.
Let's go to the glass path first,
The famous glass cracking device is turned off, I think it is because fewer people visit to turn off the device to save power.
overlooking
The scenic spot is still quite spectacular. It has always been that the physical exertion of going up and down the plank road is not too great.
But walking down ten kilometers in a circle for 6 hours is still very tiring. At the beginning, there were some tourists around us, but we walked one-third of the way and it was only the two of us, and we were not disturbed when taking pictures. A tall artificial waterfall and artificial lake have been built in the scenic spot.
At this time, there was light rain in the sky, and we continued to visit.
Only tourists came after we visited the North Peak Scenic Area.
We didn't eat until around 2pm and we only took the elevator 3 times. We walked to the upper station of the cable car at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. This scenic spot tour basically takes the plank road, this time the plank road is enough! ! Still worth a visit though.
After leaving the scenic spot, we decided to go home. Navigation said nearly 6 hours. At 6:00 p.m., we rest and have dinner in the Shijiazhuang service area. The buffet is 38 yuan per person. There are many kinds of hot dishes and fruits. When refueling, the worker said that the oil was being drained and it would take half an hour. We didn't wait, and went to Gaocheng North to refuel. It's almost 9:30 when I get home. This Northwest tour is all over here.
