Date 2018/11.5～11.6
day1
At 6.50 in the morning, there is a direct flight from Guangzhou to Lanzhou Zhongchuan Airport.
Arrive at Lanzhou Zhongchuan at about 10.30
When I got off the handgun, I saw gray snow flying all over the sky. Southerners all had the same reaction when they saw the snow. Haha, besides being excited, they were still excited.
When I got off the plane, I went to the place where I rented a che with my friends. Did you rent a Buick SUV Encore?
(ps: The person who rented the car is very nice, and they will pick you up from the airport to the store)
When you get the car, you must eat the famous Lanzhou ramen haha
Let me tell you, really pay attention to driving in snow, because it is super easy to slip
After eating, we will start our northwest itinerary
The second stop is Zhangye (Desert Park in Wuwei)
It took about 3 hours to drive, all the way from a snow mountain to a barren mountain full of sand
We lived in the small town of Wuwei on the first night. There were four of us in the same group. It felt good to live in a four-person room. It costs 130 yuan a night, which may be the off-season.
Weilong Hotel, I think it can give 80 points. There is heating and hot water.
day2
Sleep until noon, because you need to sleep enough to continue driving
It takes about 4-5 hours from Wuwei to Jiayuguan
These are the scenery on the road from Wuwei to Jiayuguan
It was already evening when we arrived at Jiayuguan. The lights in Jiayuguan at night are really good and very atmospheric. Since the owner was in a hurry to find a house, I didn’t take any pictures.
In the evening, I found a four-person room.
Hotel: Thank Inn Hotel, 150 yuan (personal evaluation is not good, the power went out in the middle of the night and then there was no heating, and basically woke up from the cold, and all lived in rooms that have been converted from ballrooms, which are very big, but very simple)
I stayed in the room to find food. I asked the front desk of the house. There is a night market in Jiayuguan, and the whole street is full of food.
Datang Food Street has a lot of food and parking spaces. We gave water to the front desk of the hotel.
We went to a halal place to eat mutton. The taste there was very good. We also wandered around. When we saw a lot of people, we went in because a certain group didn’t find a suitable one, but the taste was really good. There was euphratica stewed cake. There are grilled lamb chops, grilled lamb, and grilled fish. Anyway, a bunch of food is cheap. Four people ate for 266 yuan. Anyway, I think it’s worth it
day3
When you come to Jiayuguan, you must go to Jiayuguan City Tower. Jiayuguan is known as the first pass in the world and it is also very awesome.
Jiayuguan ticket is 50 yuan per person, three attractions are connected together, Jiayuguan City Gate, the Great Wall of Hanging Wall, and one we did not go
No more bb, let’s take a picture
This Jiayuguan is the great achievement of the ancients, and it was accumulated by the ancients with blood and sweat.
Then after visiting Jiayuguan, go to the Hangbi Great Wall. This is connected with the ticket for Jiayuguan, which is equal to free tickets, but because of the off-season, I didn’t see anyone.
We just walked a small part of this. Because we were in a hurry, we slipped away after a short walk. It was very steep and steep. Be careful when walking. Watch our friends walk halfway and rest for 10 minutes before leaving. I am old and old. yes, haha
After walking the Great Wall, it’s time to eat and drink enough to get ready to go on the road. I went to Jiayuguan City to eat a noodle. It’s pretty good. It’s about 15 yuan a noodle. It’s okay.
Eat and drink enough and hit the road
Another long drive, from Jiayuguan to Dunhuang, five hours of driving time
Repost the beautiful scenery on the road
Because the journey to Dunhuang is going west, there is no car along the way, and it takes almost 30 minutes to see a car passing by. Of course, the owner is also driving at a speed of 140-160, haha
It was evening when we arrived in Dunhuang. I found a hotel. (Dunhuang Silk Road Show Boutique Hotel) This hotel must be very good. It’s really 68 yuan for a double room. The space inside is about 40-50 square meters. It’s big and comfortable, but it’s in the northwest It's really hard at night, it's hard to work, I have to wake up to drink water at night, I have to wake up twice a night
We just found a place to eat a beef yellow noodles (so-so), donkey meat noodles (also so-so,
After eating, I went to Dunhuang Night Market to have a look. Uh, I don’t want to comment, so I just exercised after dinner.
We reserved the tickets for Mogao Grottoes one day in advance, but the host couldn’t find it after searching for a long time, and the official account on WeChat was also suspended, and we were forced to buy the Meituan in the form of a tour group.
Personal suggestion, in fact, you can go to Dunhuang and find a way to buy it. There is no need to prepare in advance, or in peak seasons, you need to prepare in advance.
day4
Start sightseeing in Dunhuang
Early in the morning, I went to eat donkey meat noodles with my friends, one for each person, because it was too dry and cold, so I had to eat food with soup
Then we went to the travel agency to report, and then went to the entrance of the scenic spot to wait for the people from the travel agency to go in together.
When I came to the Mogao Grottoes, I first watched two big movies, one is an ordinary movie video, and the other is a very awesome 360-degree viewing video gallery.
Moreover, the Mogao Grottoes are relatively strict, controlling the flow of people every day, so it is so difficult to book tickets
After watching the video, I went into the sacred Mogao Grottoes. There is the largest indoor Buddha in China, and many carved Buddha statues in indoor caves, but many of them have been stolen by the Eight-Power Allied Forces, and I have seen many ancient carvings and paintings. , and the world-famous Buddhist scripture cave
Mogao Grottoes have tour guides that require scenic spots to enter those caves, because they are afraid that you will destroy them, and each cave needs to limit the number of caves per day, because they are afraid of oxidation and damage the paint of the Buddha statues.
After visiting the Mogao Grottoes, it is time to rush to the next trip, Mingsha Mountain Crescent Spring
There are sand dunes and sand flats everywhere along the way.
This is the first time I saw the scenery of snow peaks on the sand. The dunes here are really high, and my friend is in the rhythm of needing to rest for ten minutes before continuing to move.
There are fixed escalator ladders on the sand dunes, otherwise you can’t climb up at all, because it’s difficult to walk one step back and half a step, and the host and the friends didn’t buy shoe covers. Personally, I think it’s a big brother with financial means. It's better to buy it, it really feels unlucky
After climbing up, the temperature above is much colder than below, and the cross wind is also strong.
I heard from the locals in the desert here that during the peak season in summer, the temperature is 50 degrees during the day, and it is impossible to walk during the normal day.
After the tour, my friends and I solved the problem of lunch at the gate of the scenic spot.
I ate barbecue, fat red branch barbecue, um, it’s not cheap, but the taste is okay,
After eating, I have to catch up with the schedule again, rushing to Delingha
On the journey from the desert to the snow-covered road again
The scenery along the way is really beautiful
On the way to the mountain road, my friends saw an open space, and they immediately said they wanted to go down to play in the snow, haha
There are many cattle, horses, rabbits and other animals on this section of the road, and there are corpses on the road, so you must pay attention to wild animals when driving in the Northwest.
There is a section of the road down the mountain here because the highway is still being repaired and the whole road is bad, and there is a lot of dust, so you can only drive at a speed of 30-40. Friends who take this section of the road pay attention
Passing the road under the clear sky, I got out of the car to eat instant noodles and take pictures of the stars
Haha? Still able to shoot,
Since these road sections are full of trucks at night and there are no street lights, the friends decided to shorten the journey and went to Dachaidan
I stayed in a very ordinary hotel, and the power was cut off at night, it was very dry, and I got up several times a night to drink water,
But I also ate a great dish here in Dachaidan, mutton nest, 80 yuan a nest, great value
Not too spicy, crispy and delicious,
day6
I left early in the morning after an early shift. Since I saw a snow mountain hot spring on the way, my friends couldn’t bear the loneliness and wanted to try it, haha
At eight o'clock in the morning, I drove up to Xueshan Xianxueshan Hot Spring,
Take a look at the beauty of Dachaidan Snow Mountain in the morning
Perhaps because it is the off-season, the Xueshan Hot Spring merchants actually say that they are only open at 11-12 o'clock, what a pity, what a pity?
We are people who have to catch up with the schedule, where can we wait?
So I slipped away
Go to the next destination, the crooked star ruins
Here again, due to the off-season, the scenic spot is blocked by heavy snow, but we can also satisfy us at the entrance of the scenic spot, because it is so beautiful
After seeing such a beautiful scenery, I will go to the next Chaka Salt Lake
This scenic spot is also closed, but we sneaked in, haha, free of charge
After watching the Chaka Salt Lake, it was too late, so I found a room near the Salt Lake, 130 a night is cheap, but the environment is really bad, the passing point of the provincial road,
Let’s talk about food, don’t eat rice at high altitudes, because the boiling point is low, the rice will be hard when presented, and you can’t eat it
After eating only vegetables, I went back to the hotel to eat instant noodles.
day6
On the sixth day, it was really hard. I walked back to Zhongchuan for more than 700 kilometers.
Passing through Qinghai Lake can only be seen from a distance, because the scenic spot has been found to be closed, so I won’t go there.
I went to downtown Xining to have lunch, and went to a Tibetan specialty restaurant,
Since it was past two o'clock when we went there, there was no one in the restaurant,
The host is a group purchase, a certain group (Linggesar themed cultural Tibetan meal 198 yuan)
This restaurant is also good, the quantity is sufficient, the taste is good,
After lunch, my friends went to buy some souvenirs and went home to do business, because, as everyone knows, you can’t go home empty-handed.
After buying a bunch of souvenirs, I went back to the city and went to Zhongchuan.
I still have to eat a Lanzhou ramen before leaving, haha, yes
And we all pack a catty of marinated beef for each person. I think this is called a souvenir, haha
Summarize,
Toll fee 750 yuan
Fuel costs around 1700
Rent a car for 6 days, 1200 yuan
Food, housing, miscellaneous 7 miscellaneous 8 about 4500 yuan
The plane is close to 4000
About 3050 yuan per person for four people
Personally, I think it is very cheap, but the schedule is relatively fast. If it takes 10 days, you can play more comprehensively.
