Traveling the world slowly | 3 small cities in Gansu, 3 secret places that can only be reached by car

|Three secret places in three small cities in Gansu that can only be reached by car. Travel the world slowly | 3 secret places in 3 small cities in Gansu that can only be reached by self-driving 👍Most recommended: 🌟Highlights: Many small cities in the motherland have extreme scenery hidden in the mountains that people have never seen. In this collection, Cai Cai Juan Er selects three small cities in Gansu that left a deep impression on us, including terraced fields, canyons, and alpine meadow scenery. Let us travel together and explore the beauty of these small cities. 0Dongxiang Village Terraces: ★★★★★ If you pass by the Dongxiang Village at sunset, you will definitely be impressed by the beautiful light and shadow of the terraces. The Dongxiang people are one of the ethnic minorities, and are widely distributed in Linxia Prefecture. They have lived in the mountains for generations, cultivating fields in the mountains, and their hard work has created this beautiful scenery. Now that the roads are open, some villagers have moved out of the mountains, and some fields have been converted back to forests, the unique scenery here is gradually disappearing. 📍Detailed address: Address: Dongling Township, Dongxiang Autonomous County, Linxia Prefecture②Sumugou Canyon, Lintao CountyNon-visible: ★★★★ This canyon is very special, composed of two landforms, karst and Danxia. It is located in Sumugou Village, Hongqi Township, Lintao County, and is said to be 27.5 kilometers long. We viewed the canyon from a distance near Hongqi Township and from close behind Manping Village, and both felt that the scale of the canyon was beyond our imagination. The sign for the Sumugou Grand Canyon can be seen on the highway, but as we continued along the road, we found that the interior of the canyon was still a dirt road and had not been built. It is not recommended to travel by car or two-wheel drive. 📍Detailed address: Address: Sumugou Village, Hongqi Township, Lintao County Navigation: Set "Hongqi Township" & "Manpinggou" Road conditions: The road conditions along Hongqi Township or to Manping Village are generally good and can be driven by cars. It is not recommended that friends enter undeveloped areas to explore the canyon. ❸Zhangxian Watershed Unpopularity: ★★★ This is the boundary between Zhangxian and Weiyuan counties, and it should also be the watershed between Taohe River and Weihe River. Because an observation deck was built at the high point of G212, this place is quite well-known. However, you cannot see the vast scenery from the viewing platform. There is a small path leading to the higher hillside behind it. Start from the observation deck and walk uphill for about 200 meters to reach the best viewing point: the endless green peaks, alpine pastures, winding national roads and meandering rivers are all in full view. Address: G212 at the junction of Zhangxian and Weiyuan counties in Dingxi City 📍Detailed address: Navigation: Set up "Watershed Observation Deck" Road conditions: G212 is a brand new asphalt road with good road conditions.
