Shocking! This thousand-year-old ancient city in Gansu actually hides these secrets!

Wrong! The essence of Gansu✨ is actually hidden in this seriously underrated ancient city! If it weren't for the call of a bowl of spicy hot pot skewers🌶️, I almost missed this "living" Silk Road ancient city. While everyone is crazily lining up for beef noodles in Lanzhou and crowding to see the Mogao Caves in Dunhuang, Tianshui, the birthplace of Chinese civilization🚩, quietly lies in the embrace of time, lazily breathing... The hometown of Fuxi, an important Silk Road town This is the dragon-rising land of the cultural ancestor Fuxi🐉! The quietly flowing Wei River has witnessed 8,000 years of Chinese civilization🌟. Strolling through Tianshui Old Street, the rustic residential courtyards and tall apricot trees are like a living fossil version of the "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" painting~ Must-visit spots in Tianshui 📍Fuxi Temple Ticket: 40 RMB 🕒8:30-17:30 A Ming Dynasty architectural complex over 600 years old, a sacred place to worship the cultural ancestor! 📍Maijishan Grottoes Ticket: 90 RMB (including guide) 🕒8:30-17:30 200 years older than the Mogao Caves! A stunning Buddhist kingdom on the cliff, with 221 existing caves and exquisite sculptures~ 📍Yuquan Temple Ticket: 20 RMB 🕒8:00-18:00 An ancient Taoist temple stretching over a thousand years, home to a 500-year-old ancient ginkgo tree that’s breathtakingly beautiful in autumn! 🍜 Tianshui Cuisine ✔️ Spicy hot pot skewers (must be from street stalls!) ✔️ Bianshi noodles (thin skin, generous filling, super authentic) ✔️ Niangpi (sour and spicy, always delicious) I’m really falling for this slow-paced ancient city😭 Few people, beautiful scenery, low prices—this is what touching history should feel like!
