👋👋👋 When the "Galloping Horse Treading on a Flying Swallow" doll tilts its head and goes viral, when the Dunhuang Flying Apsaras turn into celestial fairy dolls... These "living" cultural relics have long refused to be mere antiques in display cases! Starting today, slurp Lanzhou beef noodles like a time tunnel, and use cultural and creative add-ons to blow up this 2,000-year-old Silk Road! 💖 Journey begins 🏯 First stop Lanzhou: Catch the first ray of sunlight by the Yellow River, and start your Gansu trip with the Bronze Galloping Horse~ ▸ Wait for a gilded sunset at Zhongshan Bridge, feel the century-long dialogue between the century-old iron bridge and the Yellow River. ▸ Drift down the Yellow River on a sheepskin raft, unlocking ancient water transportation. ▸ Must-see treasures at Gansu Provincial Museum: Bronze Galloping Horse (Galloping Horse Treading on a Flying Swallow), Silk Road exhibition hall, ancient elephant fossils from the Yellow River, and more. ▸ Climb to the top of Baita Mountain Park for a panoramic view of Lanzhou, with the Yuan Dynasty White Pagoda and Yellow River Iron Bridge in the same frame. 🏯 Next stop Tianshui: Capture your own cyberpunk masterpiece amid the smile of the Little Maitreya and the aroma of spicy hotpot~ ▸ Maijishan Grottoes: Explore the "Oriental Sculpture Gallery," shoot the grotto clusters in the mist, with red cliff walls and the Buddha’s serene bowed gaze creating a zen moment. ▸ Fuxi Temple: Pay respects at the origin of Chinese civilization, witness the stunning audiovisual experience of Fuxi culture inheritance, and feel the double impact of history and spicy flavor. 🏯 Next stop Zhangye: ▸ Danxia National Geological Park: The world’s only composite area of Danxia landform and colorful hills, take a sightseeing bus through the "God’s palette" at sunset, with red, yellow, blue, and purple flowing like an oil painting. ▸ Pingshan Lake Grand Canyon: The "Earth’s crack" comparable to the Colorado, hike or ride camels through vertical cliffs over a thousand meters high, and occasionally encounter wild ibex in the canyon crevices. ▸ Matisi Grottoes: Climb the 33 cliff grottoes, touch the legendary "Heavenly Horse Hoofprint" in the Buddhist caves from 1,300 years ago. 🏯 Next stop Dunhuang: ▸ Mogao Caves: Visit the "Pearl of Oriental Art," immerse yourself in millennia-old murals and polychrome sculptures in 492 caves, with the nine-story Buddha in Cave 96 being breathtaking. ▸ Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Spring: Ride camels across sand dunes, shoot silhouettes of desert camel caravans amid the "singing sand ridges." ▸ Yardang Geological Park: Take an off-road vehicle deep into the "Devil City," check in at the Yardang formations shaped like ridges from the "Western Sea Fleet," and catch the Gobi sunset with fiery clouds. ▸ Dunhuang Museum: Stamp collectors’ perk: free stamps featuring the Nine-Color Deer, Flying Apsaras, and other Dunhuang themes. @Community Benefits @Trip.com Community Creation Center Lanzhou·Gansu
