The Hexi Corridor from Lanzhou to the west is a world-class road trip route comparable to Highway No.1 on the west coast of the United States. Historically, Zhang Qian, Xuanzang, Kelpolo and others have all passed through here. From BC 12 1, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty established four Hexi counties: Jiuquan, Wuwei, Zhangye and Dunhuang.
From Lanzhou to the west, "Take road trip Camp (Yongdeng), the Happy Farm of Lanzhou Yueguo Group" can stop and have a rest. For Tianzhu Tibetan Autonomous County, you can stop and have a rest at road trip Camp of Datong River Ecological Park in Yongdeng, Lanzhou.
Along the main line to Wuwei, the Leitai Han Tomb in Liangzhou Ancient City is also the place where China's tourist symbol "Horse Stepping and Flying Swallows" was unearthed; Tiantishan Grottoes is the originator of China Grottoes; Baita Temple witnessed the place where Tibet was incorporated into Chinese territory.
Continue to the west to Jinchang, which was once covered with rubble. Now, 100 mu of purple and gold flower sea has dressed it up as a garden city. Li Gan, the ancient city of Yongchang, is famous for placing scattered Roman soldiers in the Western Han Dynasty.
From Jinchang to Zhangye Road, there are "beihai wetland road trip Campsite in Yongchang County", "Self-driving Camp in Zhangye National Desert Sports Park" and "RV Camp in Heihe Wetland Park in Zhangye, Gao Tai" for parking and rest.
Continue to the west to Zhangye, and you can see many relics of the Great Wall of the Han Dynasty along the way. "Don't look at the snow in Qilian Mountain and mistake Zhangye for Jiangnan" is the most appropriate description of Zhangye, an oasis. There are also the largest military horse farm in Asia-Shandan Military Horse Farm, the Great Buddha Temple in Xixia and the Wanshou Tower in Sui Dynasty.
Come to Zhangye to see the landform. On the way to Jiuquan, the colorful Danxia in Linze is the most gorgeous, and the Danxia in the ice ditch is the most peculiar. Stop at the "Travel Camp on the Road Supported by Zhang Ye Danxia" and watch the colorful Danxia with the most beautiful colors in the sunset.
As the snow-capped mountains in Qilian Mountain continue westward, the next oasis is Jiuquan. The site of Suoyangcheng is like an old book, which integrates the ancient city site and the ancient tomb.
Close to the west of Jiuquan City is Jiayuguan City, and Jiayuguan, which is the best in the world, is still brilliant.
Pass through a large Gobi, turn to G30 1 1 in Guazhou, and March to Dunhuang. Dunhuang was once the crossroads of world communication on the Silk Road; Mogao grottoes are Dunhuang's business cards facing the world; Crescent spring, a wonder of the desert, has been nestled in the arms of Mingsha Mountain for thousands of years; Yumenguan and Yangguan used to be the gateway of China to the western regions in ancient times, and the ghost town of Ya Dan is the epitome of world-famous buildings.
From Dunhuang to Qinghai-Tibet, you can experience different folk customs through Aksai Kazak Autonomous County and Subei Mongolian Autonomous County in Gansu.
