GAGE ONEAL

Wuwei has a strong appeal, making it a must-visit on my travel list as a key town along the Hexi Corridor

Compared to popular destinations, I prefer unique, less-known places. After reading the many poems about Liangzhou written by poets, this city on the Hexi Corridor has been added to my travel itinerary. Liangzhou🏯, now Wuwei, Gansu. Although it's less famous than Dunhuang, a single visit will leave you in awe of its profound cultural heritage and stunning scenery, making you regret not coming sooner‼️ Wuwei's summer mornings and evenings are only in the 20s (degrees Celsius), and it's cool in the shade during the day too🍃 Take a few days to organize your travel plans and save this guide❗ . 🚌How to get there 🚄Train: Wuwei has dozens of trains to and from Lanzhou every day ✈️Plane: Fly to Lanzhou and then go to Wuwei 🚗Self-driving: The highways are very convenient . 🚗Travel Guide 𝐃𝐚𝐲𝟏: Lanzhou➠Wuwei Museum➠Dayun Temple➠Tengger Desert Scenic Area 𝐃𝐚𝐲𝟐: Wuwei Confucian Temple➠Xixia Museum➠South City Gate➠Jiumo Luoshi Temple➠Haizang Temple➠Desert Sculpture Park 𝐃𝐚𝐲3: Leitai Han Tombs➠White Pagoda Temple➠Shenzhou Desert Wildlife Park➠Return trip . ✅✅✅Recommended Attractions 📌 Wuwei Museum The collection is as rich as that of the Gansu Provincial Museum.
