Baitashan Park - China Travel

introduce

Baitashan Park is located on the north bank of the Yellow River near the central district of Lanzhou City. The entrance is connected to the Zhongshan Bridge. It is an important scenic spot in Lanzhou City. Baita Mountain is dominated by the ancient White Pagoda on the top of the mountain, and there are many palace-style buildings in the mountains. Many trees are planted around the buildings. It is very good for mountaineering, exercise and photography. What's more, when you climb Baita Mountain, you can see the spectacular panorama of Lanzhou City, with a very wide field of vision. The best time to visit Baita Mountain is summer. The altitude of the top of the mountain is about 1,700 meters, but it is only about 200 meters higher than the city of Lanzhou at the bottom of the mountain. The mountain is not high, and it is not difficult to climb up. There are some courtyards of ancient buildings, temples, etc. on the road, as well as beautiful trees and lawns, etc., which can be seen one by one. Arrive at the top of the mountain to watch the White Pagoda, take a panoramic view of Lanzhou, and then go to the Lanzhou Forest of Steles behind the mountain, then go down the mountain and return. The general play time is about 2-3 hours. In addition, if the physical strength is insufficient, you can also take the Yellow River cableway on the other side of the Yellow River. The cableway passes through the Yellow River and reaches the mountainside of Baita Mountain. There are roughly three levels of ancient buildings on the climbing road of Baita Mountain, including huge archways, city towers and temple attics. Between these buildings, there are many trees, creating a tree-lined environment that is rare in the northwest, and it feels very comfortable when climbing. There are some lawns in the courtyard of the building, and wild flowers bloom every spring and summer, which is very beautiful. In addition, there will be people selling handicrafts such as gourd carvings and Yellow River stone carvings on the mountain road. They usually cost tens of dollars each, so you can buy them if you are interested. At the top of the mountain is a white pagoda with seven floors and a height of 17 meters. This pagoda was built by Kublai Khan in memory of Saban, a Tibetan Buddhist teacher who died here, and was rebuilt in the Ming Dynasty. One of the symbols is also the origin of the name of Baita Mountain. There are also cultural relics from the Ming and Qing Dynasties such as elephant skin drums and bronze bells on the top of the mountain. They are also the legendary treasures of Zhenshan. You can read the stories behind these cultural relics according to the introduction. More importantly, when you look back at the top of the mountain, you can see the panoramic view of Lanzhou city. A Yellow River passes through the city at the foot, and there are row upon row of buildings on both sides of the river bank, which is very spectacular. If you come here in the evening or after dark, the buildings and street lights are lit up, which is more suitable for shooting the beautiful night view of the city. On the northwest side behind the mountain, there is a forest of steles in Lanzhou, which is a similar circular ancient courtyard. On the inner side of the courtyard wall, there are reproductions of calligraphy and stone carvings of many famous calligraphers from ancient times to modern times. The historical Xining King Stele, "Huian Xibiao" and "Chunhua Pavilion Tie" have been copied or carved here. , in addition, there are calligraphy steles with special characters such as oracle bone inscriptions, Tibetan, Xixia script, and Basiba script, which are worth visiting. Tourists usually visit Baitashan Park, Lanzhou Waterwheel Expo Park, Zhongshan Bridge, etc. when they visit Lanzhou. If they have enough time, they will also add Gansu Provincial Museum. It is suggested that when arranging the itinerary, climb Baita Mountain in the afternoon, go down the mountain in the evening just to see the night scenery on both sides of the Yellow River, and then go to the Zhengning Road Night Market not far away to taste delicious snacks, which is very pleasant.

放飞自我去游玩

We enter the park from the Yellow River iron bridge, the road is wide, and the buildings are connected by pavilions and corridors. It was the National Day holiday, and there were many tourists. At this time, everyone thought that the fight against the epidemic had been won, and no one wore masks along the way. Halfway up the mountain, I met a small temple called Fayu Temple. Although the temple is small, the incense is still very prosperous. Continue up the mountain on the right hand side, and encounter Wenchang Palace and Sanxing Palace. This is not the main road to the top. There are few tourists, and the buildings feel a little old, but for some reason, the gates are locked. Going forward, there is the most core Baita Temple. The Baita Temple in the temple is located at the highest point of the temple. The existing White Pagoda was built in 1450. The White Pagoda is ivory-colored and 17 meters high, which is relatively large among the white pagodas. There are a lot of tourists here, and there are many shops and restaurants.

The White Pagoda built by Kublai Khan in commemoration of the Tibetan Buddhist teacher Saban is a landmark of Lanzhou. When you climb up the Baita Mountain, you have a very wide view. You can wait for the Baita Mountain from the Zhongshan Bridge across the Yellow River. It is not high and you can climb to the top in 30 minutes. You can visit the White Tower, and you can also see the city. The weather is good and the scenery is unlimited. It is recommended to come to Lanzhou to play...

Baitashan Park has tall trees and dense forests, with winding paths leading to seclusion. Standing on the hill, you can have a panoramic view of the whole city and the mother river with nine twists and turns. And because of the White Pagoda of the Yuan Dynasty, it has become a must-see place for Lanzhou tourism. Every year from early June to mid-September is the best time for summer vacation and leisure. On Saturdays and Sundays, it is a good place for people to gather and play.
