    You must visit the Fuxi Temple, the first of the Three Huangs. In fact, I like the fireworks in the streets and alleys of Tianshui the most. After visiting Fuxi City, I walked straight out and found a big market with all kinds of fruits and food. I bought a big bag, thanks to the hotel front desk who told me.

    First, park your car at the entrance to the attraction. There's a spacious parking lot, which is very convenient. Then, take the shuttle bus up the mountain. After circling for about 30 minutes, you'll reach the summit. There's a small museum with stunning views. Then, you'll start a fascinating walk, weaving and weaving, sometimes up slopes, sometimes into caves. It's quite interesting. After an hour or two of this, you'll reach another parking spot, take the shuttle bus back to the attraction ticket office, and then pick up your car and go home. The entire journey takes at least six hours. I personally think it's worth it. The entrance fee is a bit expensive.

    Maijishan Grottoes are quite unique. The grottoes are carved into the cliff face of a solitary mountain peak, with each cave resembling a bird's nest. Visitors can only climb up and down via elevated walkways, which is quite thrilling, though a bit scary for those with a fear of heights 😂. Most of the Buddha statues here are made of clay, unlike those in other grottoes. The sculptures are very lifelike, which is also related to the clay sculpture technique, as it is easier to carve and refine them this way.

    It was breathtaking; the architecture was magnificent. The original Famen Temple didn't have many treasures left, and the underground palace was under renovation; the treasures are all in the museum. I didn't pay attention to the opening hours of the Buddha's relics, and I didn't see them when I went, which was a bit of a disappointment.

    I went to Taibai Mountain on October 25th. It had snowed the day before, so I was lucky enough to see both the snow scenery and the sea of ​​clouds. The mountain, known as Tianyuan Difang, is 3511 meters above sea level. My elderly relative experienced slight altitude sickness, but there were oxygen and food vendors nearby, which was very convenient. I recommend taking the large cable car up and the small cable car down; this mountain seems to care for everyone who has the chance to visit.

    The scenic area is definitely worth visiting. The facilities are quite comprehensive, including a joint tomb of Emperor Gaozong and Empress Wu Zetian, as well as tombs for two princes and a princess. While you can descend into the tomb passages of the princes' and princess's tombs, there's basically nothing inside; it's mostly just the surrounding environment. Completing the main mausoleum's roof would be quite challenging, mainly due to the steep slope. One drawback is that all visitors must purchase shuttle bus tickets at the visitor center to reach the aforementioned attractions; it's mandatory. You can't drive yourself; you must park in the visitor center's parking lot, which is somewhat inconvenient.

    Guange Valley is divided into two scenic areas: Guanzhu Valley and E'man Valley. Leigu Mountain is located within Guanzhu Valley. The ticket is valid for two days. On the first day, we visited Guanzhu Valley and took the cable car up Leigu Mountain. On the second day, we visited E'man Valley. Overall, it was a good experience. However, the two scenic areas are 17 kilometers apart, and there is no direct bus. You can only drive or take a taxi.

    It's not a big place, but the environment is very nice. The adult pandas are at the top, and the big star, Qi Zai, usually comes out to eat in the morning. There are also underage pandas below, and they are all so cute.

    Xinghan Scenic Area was truly breathtaking! The Han-style palace complex was magnificent and exquisitely detailed, making me feel as if I had traveled back to the powerful Han Dynasty. The indoor exhibits were splendid, and the large-scale performance "Legend of the Heavenly Han" was incredibly captivating; I couldn't take my eyes off it for a second!

    What impressed me most about Qingmuchuan was its cultural history, its hospitality and thoughtfulness. When I stayed at the Qu Family Courtyard, I found that the ancient charm was interspersed with modern accommodations. The people in the town were enthusiastic but not snobbish, and they worked hard to live instead of just making money from tourists. My wife and children missed breakfast, and the little sister from the Qu Family Courtyard thoughtfully brought them food from the kitchen, which was very comforting. I will come again next time.
