    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.

    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.

    Although many flowers have faded in September, it does not diminish the beauty of Huahu Lake at all. The sky, the lake surface, wild ducks, and many other unidentified aquatic animals complement each other beautifully.
