"Living on County Street, heading north through Ming and Qing Street, which is about 100 meters away, and walks to the end. It is Ganquan Park, a free and convenient park, and there is a children’s playground inside, but there is no children’s fun, the park is less lively, and the carousel Turning the empty circle lonely, there are not many citizens. I saw a group of people playing rope skipping on the way. I really wanted to jump over and jump together. The small cruise ship in the lake was also quietly leaning on the shore. Everything was comfortable and relaxing. , I found a seat in the small pavilion by the lake, and listened to someone playing the flute next to me. I was not very skilled, not smooth, not very melodious, not pleasing to the ear, but the familiar tunes kept me, and they were all familiar Tuning, playing the accompaniment in the phone, and my mother humming along with it. It's nice to listen to.

"As the center of the city, the Zhangye Bell and Drum Tower is very spectacular around it. The height of the tower is very high. With the Drum Tower above, No. 4 is no worse than the Drum Tower in Xi'an. Moreover, inscriptions were written on each of the four cards, which seemed very domineering. Zhangye is a city that one eye loves. It has history and nature, as is this Drum Tower. Although it seems that there is no way to go up now, it is enough to look around."

"The Wenshu Mountain Grottoes, the ancient grottoes at the foot of the Suzhu chain, the main peak of Qilian Mountain, are said to be where Manjushri Bodhisattva manifested his holy. The cave temple nunnery was built on the mountain. For thousands of years, almost all religions of China, including Tibetan Buddhism, Chinese Buddhism, and Taoism, have intersected and merged here. The Buddhist art and early murals in the grottoes are comparable to the Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes. There is a saying among the folks that "look at Manjusri first, then Dunhuang". The Wenshu Mountain Grottoes were first excavated in the Northern Dynasties and are the remains of early Chinese Buddhism. They are located within the scope of Liangzhou model grottoes. In particular, the murals in the Thousand Buddha Caves and Wanfo Caves have the layout characteristics of the early Hexi cave murals. To make up for the shortcomings of Mogao Grottoes, some are the continuation and development of Dunhuang art. The "Liangzhou Model" proposed by Professor Su Bai believes that the Liangzhou Model can be divided into two stages: the early stage can refer to the remains of Tianti Mountain, the Wuliang Stone Pagoda unearthed in Jiuquan and other places and the first stage niche statue of Bingling; You can refer to the Golden Pagoda Temple in Sunan, the Thousand-Buddha Caves in the Piedmont of Wenshu Mountain in Jiuquan, and the second stage niche of Bingling. Among the relatively complete murals in existence, the huge "Milean Sutra Sutra" painted by Xixia on the right wall (east wall) of the Ten Thousand Buddha Caves in the Piedmont of Wenshu Mountain can be said to be a gem among the grottoes, and experts and scholars also come to Wenshu Mountain. One of the must-see treasures. It is under the control of Zhangye, but it is very close to Jiayuguan. I took a train from Dunhuang to Jiayuguan South Station and then took a taxi. Tickets are 120, so expensive. Mogao Grottoes is only 190 now."

"Zhangye Central Plaza is located to the east of Muta Temple on County Government Street in Ganzhou District and to the south of Qingnian West Street. It is an urban leisure square with a large area. The night is lively and there are many types of leisure activities."

"Zhang Yong is everywhere ancient temple, but many have been destroyed, Muta Temple is the only remaining of Zhang Yong Buddhist pagoda, originally one of the five rows of pagoda, the original name of Wanshou Temple. The temple and pagoda was originally built in the Northern Zhou or may be earlier, after the dynasties of the Sui, Tang, Ming and Qing Dynasty to restore the present appearance. The whole tower is not a nail a rudder, all by the difference bucket hole, beam column connection, crisscross, pull each other."
