    "It is the off-season, but there are many people. Fortunately, the weather is very good this time, blue sky and white clouds, lakes and mountains, and step by step is the scene. When the high-speed rail opens Jiuzhaigou Station to see the autumn scenery, I believe Jiuzhaigou will be more charming."

It is one of the greatest tourist attractions in Xining.

    "Huanglong is really a ghost of nature. The only regret is that we are here during the dry water period. If the dry water period is recommended, we must do a sightseeing car. Go directly to the end to see the colorful pool. After watching, we will do a sightseeing car directly. You don’t need to walk 7.8 kilometers. If the water season comes, you must walk down the mountain. Watch the scenery along the way."

    "The regret of the last time finally made up for it. The Gansu Provincial Museum was really shocking. I finally saw the horse stepping on the swallow in the primary school textbook. There are also various dinosaur fossils, which are really huge, and there are various exquisite cultural relics, such as copper cattle, copper camels, Trojan horses, etc., which are very recommended!"
