must see tips

1. There are often so-called local tour guides outside the dam scenic spot to solicit tourists to take a boat to visit nearby scenic spots. They are not official staff of the scenic spot, and they will take tourists to another pier to take a boat, which will delay the time for sightseeing. Please don't believe it.

2. The climate in Gansu is dry and dusty, and the sun is strong on sunny days. When traveling, you can prepare sunglasses, masks, sunscreen and other equipment, and pay attention to carrying drinking water.

3. In order to protect cultural relics, it is not allowed to take pictures in the caves of Bingling Temple. Before the tour, you can find a tour guide to lead the explanation and help you understand the connotation of the grottoes. The tour guide can be hired at the gate of the temple.

4. If you want to continue to travel after playing, you can also take a bus from Yongjing to Linxia, and go to Linxia and Gannan to play.

It may be that I have lived in Shenzhen for many years, and I am not used to traveling in the north. Many of the designs of the scenic spots have no sense of service at all. At the far gate, the speedboat only allows 1 hour to play, and it takes 10 minutes to walk to the entrance of Bingling Temple. How can you visit hundreds of grottoes in the remaining 40 minutes? ? Not to mention buying some snacks or handicrafts at the door, which boat to take when you come here, and which boat you must take when you go back. It seems that it is for the convenience of management. The canteen where the speedboat is parked bought 3 bottles of drinks. The old lady said 3 yuan, The middle-aged man said it was 5 yuan. When paying the bill, the lady who collected the money said 6 yuan. It's a very good scenic spot. If you can work hard on the service, you can increase your income. There are five people in our group. Except for buying tickets and 3 bottles of drinks, there is no other phone bills, because there is no time for you to spend...

The Three Gorges of the Yellow River is just next to the Liujiaxia Reservoir, and the scenery along the way is very beautiful. Although the mountain is not as high as that of the Yangtze River, and the river is relatively yellow, it can still be called the top of the Yangtze River, and it is very worth visiting.
