Gansu, recently because of the epidemic reasons on the hot search, many people may be thinking, Gansu is not desolate, why travel to Gansu. It would be really wrong to think that way. Gansu, a place with history and glory. A province worth a road trip, from east to west, from south to north, the scenery changes the most. Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia are one family, so for Gansu, as a Shaanxi person, I still have a little understanding. And the real entry into Gansu is also after the work to step into this land, have a shallow understanding, leaving a little memory of the material.
Gansu is part of the so-called Hexi Corridor, a place through which the ancient Silk Road had to pass. And the Long Right Army, which Cui Hu is proud of in "The First Hour of Chang'an", refers to this area. This is the place where there are the most wars among soldiers and families, and it is also the place where the sacrifices and sacrifices for The Most Sacrifices and Sacrifices for China. The Chinese civilization, Fuxi's hometown is said to be in Gansu, and the "Dadiwan Cultural Site" found in Qin'an County, Gansu Province, is thought to be related to Fuxi in ancient times. The Zhou royal family, the first feudal state in history, everyone knows that his birthplace is Xiqi in Shaanxi, in fact, there are also parts of the area around Qingyang in gansu. And Zhao Zhao Lao Qin, he was developed in Shaanxi, in fact, he was born in Li County, Gansu, Li County, Dabaozi Mountain has an early Qin Cemetery. And Genghis Khan, who made the world tremble, a generation of natural pride, also fell on this piece of land in Gansu. In this land, there are constantly performing sorrows and clutches, waves and magnificence. How many people are thriving here, how many people are sprinkling blood and sweat here, how many people are burying their youth and lives here, and how many people are far away from here with endless sorrow. Here is a place with a story, you are willing to trace, you can bring three or four like-minded friends, understand history, understand poetry, know car repair, understand food, walk together in this place, there will be a different experience.
After three months in Guyuan, Ningxia, I came to Lanzhou because of work reasons. We were three people in a car, and each was in charge of an area. And the Gansu, Jiuquan, and Zhangye that I had in mind were snatched away by my colleagues. Gulanzhou is currently the westernmost city I have ever been to. And I am in charge of Tianshui, Qingyang and Longnan. From north to south, just like Shaanxi's northern Shaanxi, Guanzhong and southern Shaanxi, across different latitudes to experience different customs and customs.
Lanzhou ate authentic Lanzhou ramen, a small bowl, a small bowl to eat, the noodles are so complicated but the entrance is excellent. The Yellow River can be seen along the street, and the narrow geographical environment makes lanzhou's development also have many limitations. After eating, after shopping, I got my job and began to run to my area. The mountains of Qingyang are a bit like the mountains of Ningxia, but they can be slightly better and greener. And the most profound thing is that people in Qingyang feel that they are simple. From asking for directions to chatting, and mixing up meals, it is all talkative and sincere.
Qingyang stayed for a short time without too deep an impression, going to Tianshui. In Tianshui, there are a few places that cannot be said, Tianshui has a noodle restaurant, in the remote place of the bridge, but every time it is all kinds of cars parked on the side of the road. Crowds of people line up for hours just to grab a bite of noodles, and only for lunch, not for sale in the afternoon. Now that I think about it, it's a bit like Xiaomi's hunger marketing, but the effect is just as good. Tianshui also has a special feature called Tianshui Que, the first time I ate it was because I thought this name was too funny, and this was known as "the first food in Qinzhou". It was first produced in the Western Han Dynasty and was made from a local specialty, a starch called buckwheat. It is known for its fragrant, spicy, cottony and soft. A bit like a mixed dough in Shaanxi. The taste is still worth a try. The most famous scenic spots in Tianshui, Maijishan Scenic Area, Fuxi Temple, Nanguo Temple, Yuquan Temple, Gangu Elephant Mountain, Wushan Water Curtain Cave Scenic Area, Qin'an County Fengshan Scenic Area, Zhangjiachuan Huixiang Customs Garden Scenic Area are still worth visiting, Maijishan Grottoes and Mogao Grottoes, Yungang Grottoes, Longmen Grottoes and known as China's "four grottoes".
It is not an exaggeration to say that Longnan is the back garden of Gansu. She was more like a small family jasper hiding under the rough wings of Gansu. Constantly showing her unique charm. Longnan is located in the southeast of Gansu Province, the junction area of Qinba Mountain, Loess Plateau and Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, bordering Shaanxi in the east, Sichuan in the south, and choking the three provinces of Shaanxi and Gansu, known as "Qinlong Lock Key, Bashu Throat". Because of the beautiful landform and pleasant climate, it is known as "Longshang Jiangnan". Longnan district administers 9 counties, including Chengxian, Kangxian, Wenxian, Wudu, Tangchang, Xihe, Lixian, Huixian and Liangdang, each of which has the characteristics of each county. If you want to travel, you can open their county records or consult the locals to find an interesting side, the birthplace of relatives, Zhang Guolao's donkey-riding cave house, and so on are all in this area. In Longnan, no matter which county, this ordinary hotel, you can sleep with peace of mind, and when you get up, you feel refreshed, because the air is really too good. The only thing is the road, the mountains are steep, and you have to drive carefully, with cliffs on one side and turbulent rivers on the other.
Gansu in my eyes may be too narrow, only a very small part of Gansu, but it has made my heart full of attachment to this land. If you have the chance, if you have the opportunity, you will go again. Feel that different journey again.
