    The Ashigong Colorful Peaks within the park boast a diverse and vibrant landscape. Over millions of years, wind erosion has sculpted the red rocks into various unique shapes, including castles and animals, as well as rare geological relics such as the seven-colored soil. The scenic area features seven viewing platforms, each offering a different view. Among them, the "Kunlun Sacred Mountain" view from viewing platform number 7 presents a breathtaking scene, with the red peaks reflected in the Yellow River, resembling a beautiful oil painting.

    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's beautiful, refreshing, and amazing. A mountain pass you'll return to again, a place you'll never forget, a place destined to empty yourself and then recharge. A hike up Laji Mountain is a surefire way to escape the hustle and bustle of the mountains. You won't be fooled, and you'll be surrounded by breathtaking scenery and grandeur.

    Kumbum Monastery is famous for two main reasons. First, its location is close to Xining, the capital of Qinghai Province, only 28 kilometers away, making it easily accessible to travelers with excellent service. Second, it is the birthplace of Tsongkhapa, the founder of the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism, for whom a large silver stupa was built. Later, a monastery was built around the stupa, which was then directly named Kumbum Monastery. It's a vast complex, built against the mountainside, very majestic. Walking among it, experiencing Tibetan Buddhism, and watching the Tibetan people prostrating themselves in devout worship, you'll feel somewhat mesmerized. 😂

    The Dongguan Grand Mosque in Xining City is a rare and solemn building. The nine gold-plated regular script characters "Xining Budongguan Grand Mosque" are inscribed on the middle door lintel, and the inside and outside of the other door lintels are inscribed with gold-plated Arabic classic quotations. The "Hundred-Character Praise" inscribed by Zhu Yuanzhang, the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty, for mosques across the country is preserved in the temple and is embedded in the wall of the middle door, which is worth seeing.

    A worthwhile museum offers a window into Qinghai's history and culture. To explore Qinghai and the plateau, start at the Qinghai Provincial Museum. The museum displays artifacts from across the province, including brocades, silks, gold, silver, and bronze artifacts unearthed from the Reshui Tombs in Dulan, painted pottery from the Liuwan Tombs, 4,000-year-old Lajia noodle containers and noodles, the first bronze mirror and tile end from the Guinan grasslands, Panxiu from the Rainbow Homeland, row lanterns from the ancient city of Danger, and Qutan artifacts from the imperial monasteries. The exquisite craftsmanship is breathtaking and unforgettable.
