佐佐的漫游日记Xining's Family Treasure! A Day of Fun at Xinhualian Tongmeng Park Bringing my kids to Xining's Xinhualian Tongmeng Park completely blew away my expectations of Northwest theme parks! As a comprehensive park offering one-stop family fun, it's truly worth adding to your Xining travel bucket list. The most stunning attraction was Xining Ocean World. As the world's highest aquarium, you can see lively penguins, spectacular dolphin shows, and the unique Qinghai Lake naked carp display on the plateau. The children's eyes lit up the entire time, and the underwater performances were truly captivating. A ride on the 108-meter "Eye of Qinghai" Ferris wheel in the land park is a must-do. When it lights up in the evening, you'll get a panoramic view of the park, creating stunning photos. The thrilling tornado pendulum and the immersive "Arabian Nights" dark ride offer fun for both adults and children. If you're traveling with young children, Tongmeng Kingdom is an absolute paradise. With nearly 8,000 square meters of indoor space and safe, fun facilities, children can enjoy a long day of fun. The fully heated Tongmeng Water World is sun- and cold-resistant, and the wave pool and lazy river are fantastic, perfect for parent-child interaction. The Silk Road Town within the park is unique, featuring miniature replicas of buildings from 18 countries. While taking photos and checking in, you can also educate your children about their culture. If you're hungry, head to the Ethnic Food Street, where you can sample specialties from 56 ethnic groups all in one place, allowing you to experience the flavors of each region without having to travel too far. The only caveat is that the plateau's ultraviolet rays are strong, so remember to wear sunscreen. The temperature difference between morning and evening can be significant, so bring a light jacket. The fireworks show is only held from Tuesdays to Saturdays, so plan your time well in advance. Overall, whether you're traveling with children or friends, this place has something for everyone. It's a fulfilling and enjoyable day out, and I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Xining!

M47***17When I went in late November, there was still some snow left in the scenic area. The last attraction at the very back was the most fun. It was the off-season, so there were very few people, making for a great experience. However, there's a stretch of about 1-2 kilometers that you have to walk, or you'll need to rent a car. You need a driver's license to rent a car, and the speed is very, very slow. And to return from the last point, you can only take the bus one stop at a time; you can't go all the way back to the main entrance. Be sure to keep your belongings safe when taking the scenic area bus.

wjmwendyOn a summer night, the lights of the Yellow River Tower illuminate the entire ancient-style architectural complex, while the open-air performance "The Grandeur of Lanzhou" weaves together sound and light to create an epic tale of Yellow River civilization. In the gentle evening breeze, the glazed tiles reflect shimmering light, and crowds gather in the square. Holographic projections on the stage unfold Silk Road camel caravans and surging waves against the backdrop of the night. Especially when the "Ancient Charm of Lanzhou" chapter lights up, the silhouettes of Zhongshan Bridge and waterwheels appear vividly before your eyes, and the sound of the Yellow River resonates with the drum music. For under 100 yuan, you can immerse yourself in this audiovisual feast spanning millennia—a cultural landmark of Northwest China's summer nights well worth a special trip.

M09***37It was the first time I took the elderly to Lanzhou. I felt the convenience of the service. The volunteers provided wheelchairs. I saw the golden python shedding its skin, the strange jellyfish 🪼 and the mysterious underwater world. It was a very good tour experience!

猫小妖333The number of visitors was absolutely enormous; you were basically just being pushed around by the crowd. I saw the Flying Horse of Gansu and the Little Girl with the Curtain-like Hairpin. There weren't many exhibits inside; pottery made up a large portion. Overall, it was alright. I hired a guided tour, so at least I didn't just wander around aimlessly.
