Lanzhou ramen with dog peeing
Continue south from Qinghai Lake and stay in Xining at night.
From Gaode Navigation, I learned that the most characteristic food in Xining is the special food in Yiranxuan Qinghai, so I took a taxi to go!
Sure enough, Gaode did not fail me! Gaode navigation to find food, is the biggest gain of this self-driving tour! Yiran Xuan Qinghai special cuisine, the environment is not said, the service is not said, the food is naturally not said, order three Qinghai delicacies: secret yak bones, hand-grabbed lamb chops, dog pouring urine, the taste is authentic, especially the dog peepers, it is a sweet pancake, but this name is a bit magical!
I stayed in Xining to see the Taal Temple. Taal Monastery, the name of the big very, Tibetan Buddhist holy land, 5A scenic spot, named after the great silver pagoda built in honor of the founder of the Yellow Sect Tsongkhapa, butter flowers, murals, and embroidery for the three best of Thar Monastery! If you are not familiar with Tsongkhapa, the Panchen Lama and the Dalai Lama should always hear that their master is Tsongkhapa!
However, my wrong decision made me not have much of an impression of the Taal Monastery! The reason is that I found a tour guide - a beautiful tour guide!
I have always been against traveling with groups, and I am also opposed to traveling to find tour guides! The reason has been explained in my article "I fight guerrillas in Zhangjiajie", and now that I think about it, it still makes sense: the tour guides are all well-designed routes, although they are the essence, but they are all in the rush, and you can't allow you to walk slowly to appreciate, just follow the tour guide, catch up and catch up, follow the trend, after the tour, but basically forget the light! But a thought of the difference, actually found a tour guide in the Taal Temple, because I think to visit the ancient temple, there is no tour guide, see some gods and Buddha statues are unknown, in short, is to find another tour guide! Tour guides are routines, tempting you to shop before, the attitude is humble, all kinds of bedding, all kinds of infiltration, plus in the temple, but also try to render the mysterious atmosphere, on the grounds of respect for religious beliefs, so that you must not think randomly, must not talk randomly, all kinds of inexplicable rules; but after the temptation to shop, it is faster than turning the book, before and after the congratulations, the face is really annoying, alas, say more are tears!
After touring the Taal Temple, drive to MaijiShan and take the last stop of this Grand Ring Road: Maiji Grottoes!
From Xining to Tianshui, passing through Lanzhou in the middle, my son liked Lanzhou ramen the most, so I decided to fulfill my son's careful wish and make a stop in Lanzhou to let my son taste the most authentic Lanzhou ramen.
Or Gaode navigation, navigate to the highest rated Lanzhou ramen shop - Jinqiang Lanzhou ramen (political and legal shop), the store is not large, the windows are clear, a bowl of ramen per person, in addition to beef to be more, I did not eat any difference in taste. Above, let you taste it.
