    Gansu's 5A-level scenic spot is overlooked by everyone. Gannan is too famous, and few people pay attention to Linxia's Bingling Temple Scenic Area. This time, I rushed back to Linxia directly from Huahu due to a cold to adjust my body. I didn't expect that I had the most fun in Linxia for three days. There were not many people, the scenery was beautiful, and there was humanistic history and culture. Bingling Temple gave me too many surprises.

    It was the first time I took the elderly to Lanzhou. I felt the convenience of the service. The volunteers provided wheelchairs. I saw the golden python shedding its skin, the strange jellyfish 🪼 and the mysterious underwater world. It was a very good tour experience!

    The number of visitors was absolutely enormous; you were basically just being pushed around by the crowd. I saw the Flying Horse of Gansu and the Little Girl with the Curtain-like Hairpin. There weren't many exhibits inside; pottery made up a large portion. Overall, it was alright. I hired a guided tour, so at least I didn't just wander around aimlessly.

    Zhongshan Bridge, a must-see attraction in Lanzhou, is incredibly popular. Arriving around 8 p.m., the bridge was already illuminated, its lights constantly changing colors, a breathtaking spectacle. People walked across the bridge, some leaving beautiful silhouettes behind, while others quietly admired the scenery. Nighttime boat tours are also available near the bridge, and everyone's face was filled with smiles, eager to capture this moment forever.

    The night cruise on the Yellow River was fantastic! The Zhongshan Bridge was beautifully lit, and the evening breeze was soothing. The 40-minute cruise was just right, and I recommend choosing the second deck for the fantastic views. Booking tickets on Ctrip was convenient, and the pier was easy to find. The boat crossing Zhongshan Bridge was incredibly photogenic, and the night view of Baita Mountain was magnificent. It's definitely worth the trip! The Yellow River at night takes on a whole new charm, with the lights on both sides ablaze. Enjoying the scenery while feeling the river breeze was a great value. I'll definitely come again. Sitting on the first floor wasn't cold, and the night view was very pleasant. I was able to capture photos of both Zhongshan Bridge and the Yellow River Mother Statue. I was very satisfied! The night cruise exceeded my expectations! The bridge and mountains were beautifully illuminated by the lights. There were also guides on board, and photos were free. If you'd like, take them for 30 yuan each.

    Baitashan Park is free. At night, I look across the Yellow River. The lights are very beautiful. The pavilion on the other side looks particularly beautiful on the mountain, which is more beautiful than during the day. The temperature at night is higher than the bottom of the day and you need to wear more coats.
