    "The scenery of Jiuzhaigou is really good. This time I came back from the northwest and found that I passed by Weinan and just went to Jiuzhaigou once. The water in Jiuzhaigou did not disappoint, but it may be for the purpose of protecting the ecology? There will be less interesting activities, and the whole process is basically a car, hiking, taking pictures."
    Jiuzhaigou
    >100km from Linxia
    Highlights: Jiuzhaigou is located in Sichuan's Aba Prefecture. The place got its name because nine villages are located in this valley. Like a world from the fairy tales, Jiuzhaigou is renowned for its water landscapes. There is a saying that after visiting Jiuzhaigou, you will not see any better water landscapes elsewhere. In some areas of Jiuzhaigou, the elevation is relatively high. Some tourists may experience altitude sickness. When visiting, please do not engage in vigorous exercise.

    Highlights: Kumbum Monastery (also called Ta'er Temple) is a Tibetan gompa with more than 400 years of history. Located in Xining's Huangzhong County, it belongs to the Gelug (or Yellow) School of Tibetan Buddhism. Kumbum Monastery has a number of ancient buildings including the main hall, Scripture Hall, Buddha Pagoda, and academy. At the center of the monastery complex, visitors will find the Dajinwa (Great Golden Tile) Temple. According to legend, this temple was erected on the site where Je Tsongkhapa, founder of the Gelug School, was born. A visit to Kumbum is not complete without taking the time to see and appreciate the butter sculptures, the murals, and the elaborate embroidery. The entire temple complex is full of magnificent buildings and rich treasures. However, the true charm of the complex lies in its holy atmosphere. It is one of the greatest tourist attractions in Xining.

    "Today, I took the sheepskin dumplings, and the 76th ship worker was warm and meticulous. I also sang two faith tours for us. Shapotou tourist attractions are worthy of being a five-star tourist attraction. The entire scenic spot has many amusement projects, reasonable layout, clean and hygienic, and all the service staff are warm and courteous. The experience is very good!"
