Top Things to Do in Lintan 2021

"Whenever I read Cangyang Gyatso's masterpiece "That Month, That Year, That Life", what always comes to my mind is a picture of the Snowy Buddha Kingdom, the Pure Land of Brahma, and people with faith crawling on the ground. The image of the long head approaching the Buddha. The height of the mountains, the blue sky, the beauty of clouds, the spirit of water, and the pure air are the secrets that I longed for in my heart and dreams. I got up and set foot in the distance, just to find the heaven and earth that I yearn for in the middle and long distances. The desolation and the throbbing of the heart, outside the world, the untouched scenes should not only appear in dreams. In fact, you don't need to be in Tibet or in western Sichuan, Gannan Zhuoni can present you a different Brahma Pure Land. At the beginning of the last century, this beautiful place was published by the American Austrian botanist and anthropologist Locke on what he had seen and heard during his two-year stay in the American magazine "National Geographic". Zhuoni surprised the world. In July, we re-take the Rock Road, while exploring the cultural and historical relics of Zhuoni, feel the most beautiful section of self-driving road in the world (we call it Rock Road), showing you a pure natural scenery and "The hometown of the king of Tibet" and "the hometown of Tao Yan" are the secret realm of Zhuoni. Snowland Buddha Kingdom, Brahma Pure Land, Gannan Zhuoni is a secret land with pure natural scenery and profound cultural background of "Hometown of Tibetan King" and "Hometown of Taoyan". The Zhuoni International Self-Driving Carnival in July and August every year is a worthwhile trip. The best way for Zhuoni to travel is by car. The scenery along the way is beautiful and everywhere, you can stop by the roadside at any time to watch, and there is no train in Gannan Prefecture. As Zhuoni is close to the northern part of Sichuan, it is recommended to visit it with other places in Gannan and Jiuzhaigou, Huanglong and Ruoergai in Aba Prefecture of Sichuan. The scenery here is relatively primitive and there are almost no tickets. The biggest expense is transportation. The main line is to play. Basically, the charter fee for 2-3 days is more than 1,000 yuan. Dayugou, Chanding Temple, and Zhagara are all highly recommended attractions."

"After the tour of Chanding Temple, we took a short trip to Zhuoniyang Chieftain Memorial Hall on the way back to Zhuoni County, Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture. Zhuoni Chieftain Memorial Hall is mainly to commemorate the former residence of the 19th generation Zhuoni Chieftain Yang Jiqing. It is now an important local patriotic education base and is open for free. The memorial hall stands quietly in a two-story wooden building in an alley about ten meters deep. Yang Jiqing is the 19th-generation chieftain who governed Zhuoni, and is known as the "king of Zhuoni". From the display and description of the whole memorial hall, it can be seen that Tusi Yang is a rare "modern figure" in Tibetan areas. The political situation and the events of Sino-Japanese relations are well known; he is also deeply dissatisfied with the Kuomintang officials' habit of fooling and oppressing Tibetans. The memorial hall is divided into five exhibition halls, each of which stores a large number of precious revolutionary cultural relics. It can be visited in half an hour, and it is only a five-minute drive from Zhuoni County or Chanding Temple to the memorial hall."

"The historic city of Taozhou, the most intact ruins of the ancient city, and the jade rabbit Linfan supernatural tortoise known as Taozhou’s Eight Scenic Spots go out to sea, tie horse posts and other pleasant scenery. The folk customs are simple, and the Tea Horse Road also passes through here. It is a famous historical and cultural town."

"In the past few years, I have heard that there is an additional tourist attraction called Bafang 13 Alleys in Linxia, and I have never had time to see it. This time I stopped by by sending friends. I came here in late autumn. There were very few tourists and very few shops opened. I guess that the peak tourist season in summer may be full of people. To be honest, the scenery here is actually quite good. Looking at the appearance of the streets before the renovation, the changes are indeed very big now. This kind of urban renovation should also be very successful."

"The East Mansion in Linxia was the former commander of the Forty Army of the Kuomintang and the mansion of Ma Buqing, the inspector of Qaidam Tun Reclamation. At that time, it was extremely luxurious, especially the ubiquitous brick carvings on the walls. It was one of the famous artist Cheng Yuan and his disciples. The patterns are unique and unique. Inadvertently left a brick sculpture art gallery for future generations, now it has become a city museum, it is still very interesting to see."

"One of the must see attractions to visit Labrang Temple is the Pagoda of Shigongtang, although not big, but it is true that many people visiting or worshipping must come to, if you come early, you will find the entrance of the Pagoda was full of people in the morning Here to worship. Maybe that's the power of faith."

"There are not many ancient buildings in Linxia, and only those places, the Butterfly House, are the beautiful memories of every Linxia Bafang people. Childhood play, hehe, play, can embody the Lingli and perfect ."

"#The site itself:Although less decorated than Mogao Grottoes, the Bingling caves are really worth the travel thanks to the nice walk through plenty of small caves at the bottom of the cliffs and it's >26m meters high Buddha niched right into it. #Get there:From Lanzhou you can catch a bus to LiuJiaXia from West Bus Station (兰运集团兰州汽车西站) preferably in the morning to have enough time. Ask the driver to stop once close to the Tourist Center (黄河水电博览馆) at LiuJiaXia. There you can take a boat to the site, speedboat takes 1 hour, normal boat 2-3 hours. Good to know: boats only leave once full and you have limited time on the site to visit before returning on the same boat (60-90 minutes).Alternatively you can hire a driver from LiuJiaXia to Bingling Si (60-90 minutes drive) for around 250-300 RMB and enjoy as much time you want."

"Lanzhou zhongshan bridge presents ideal view at night.The arial view from the chair lift is also beautiful.So, go to the other side of bridge and coming back by foot will be an ideal thing to visit the cultural places and mesmerising views."

"Hadapu, a small town in Gannan, was an important place during the Red Army period. He was a gas station on the Red Army’s Long March Road. The people here supported the material life of the Red Army at that time, and it was a blessed place for the Red Army to determine its direction. We came here from Lanzhou. . In order to experience the green high-speed rail at Lanzhou Station, the owner will take one station of high-speed rail from Minxian Station to Hadapu. It happens that this section of high-speed rail is discounted. For the same distance, the high-speed rail ticket is 5 yuan, and the ordinary train is 9 yuan. Haha!"
