Matters needing attention in purchasing tickets
If you want to watch it again the next day, please explain it to the conductor when you buy the ticket. She will post a ticket for you the next day, or you will have to buy a ticket again the next day. Remember. The conductor won't take the initiative to remind me. I just didn't know the information, so I went in to watch the sunrise the next day and bought another ticket.
Opening hours: 7:00- 18:00 in summer and 7:30- 17:00 in winter.
Related travel notes:
On the morning of the 6th, the head nurse of a department found by the eldest cousin in Lanhua Hospital gave her sister an anti-cancer injection once a month. When we came, the medicine was brought in a portable incubator with ice cubes, and my sister took the box back when she left.
The head nurse said that she had never taken this medicine. Yes! This imported advanced anticancer drug is rarely used in general places because it is too expensive (nearly 10,000 yuan each).
After coming out of the hospital, we went to my uncle's house together. My second uncle specially went to the vegetable market to buy pork tenderloin, and prepared to let my cousin (from my second aunt's house) cook the famous dishes in Northeast China-pot-wrapped meat and meat skimming festival. My cousin cooks first-class, and her work is also first-class among our sisters. No matter who you go to, you go to the kitchen as soon as you enter the door. The food is very standard.
My second uncle knew that my cousin was leaving tomorrow and bought a box of Lanzhou specialty fresh lilies for her to take back. The eldest cousin's daughter came from Shanghai this time and brought a Shanghai cake to each of us. My uncle also gave each of our four sisters a big red envelope. We didn't want it, but my uncle and daughters didn't say anything. A trip to Lanzhou is like eating and drinking for free and taking things home.
My uncle is always hospitable. When we were young, my uncle came to visit relatives in Kazakhstan, and every family brought gifts. Take the children out to play and buy delicious food. Mothers are generous to their children, and my uncle is even more generous. I remember the first time I ate mutton kebabs, which my uncle bought for us when he took us around Central Street.
People who are willing to give and care about others will always get the support and love of others (including family members). Selfish, calculating and stingy people (even relatives) are not welcome no matter how rich they are.
Because my cousin is leaving tomorrow, my second uncle cried and cried very sadly. We said, don't go yet, travel to Zhangye and other places for a week and come back tomorrow. I can imagine how my second uncle cried when we all left! We may meet again, or it may be the last time. Who can say for sure?
When people are old, most people will miss their relatives very much, not to mention my second uncle, a very familiar person. He and my dad have completely different views on life. My dad can't be described as "disowning six parents", which is too demeaning.
Since childhood, my father has had conflicts with his brothers and sisters on the issue of support. Now that he is old, he has a problem with children. I feel that others have a bad life all my life! Never reflect on your own problems. This time we came to Lanzhou to celebrate my uncle's birthday and didn't dare to tell him.
During this period, my father called me several times and asked me to find him an apartment quickly. My brother-in-law took care of him at home and called my brother-in-law names. Sister Z had a rest on Sunday, and she specially sent her brother-in-law to see it all day.
When my sister left, I said to her, if not, you can find an apartment for dad! Sister said, you are not at home, I went to find an apartment, and dad should say I kicked him out. I said, but it is! Dad also said that I was sent to Zhaodong. Then wait for me. You will have a hard time these days.
Arrive at Lanzhou West Railway Station on the morning of the 7th, and take the 10: 58 train from Lanzhou West to Zhangye West (fare 149.5 yuan). Prepare to visit Zhangye Geopark-Colorful Danxia. My cousin left Lanzhou by plane in the afternoon.
I have never heard the name Zhangye in Gansu before, but this time I heard my sister say that Zhangye's terrain is similar to that of Yellowstone Geopark in the United States, and it is one of the top ten fairyland on earth with the most colorful colors in the world. Gansu Province also has the saying that "Zhang Jinye defended Yin Wu". Look how ignorant I am. I didn't know that before. So we chose Zhangye as the first stop of this northwest trip.
It arrived in Zhangye West at about 14: 30, and it really deserved its reputation. The overall appearance of Zhangye is clean, tidy and atmospheric. Streets criss-cross, fast and slow lanes are distinct, wide and straight, and there are not many vehicles and pedestrians. Well-preserved ancient buildings can be seen everywhere, especially at the crossroads in the city center. There is an ancient city building built on behalf of the Sui Dynasty, with the intersection of east, west, north and south as the center. It is an important town on the ancient Silk Road, but it has a long history!
In the afternoon, we went to the Qingming Ancient Pedestrian Street to eat sour soup jiaozi, because my husband said it was time for beginning of winter to eat jiaozi today. Then we go back to rest and go out to visit the night market at seven o'clock in the evening.
I found that the shops on both sides of the main street in Zhangye are basically shops selling all kinds of clothes and mobile phones. Is it true that Zhangye people pay special attention to clothes and their mobile phones are frequently updated? However, the streets of large, medium and small hotels cannot be seen. It is estimated that the hotel opening on the street will affect the sanitation and cleanliness of the city.
We walked a long way before we found a snack street in Beijing Street. The street is short and there are not many people, but the snacks are really delicious. My sister and I each have a bowl of grey bean porridge and a bowl of waterlogged algae porridge, which is delicious and sweet. There is no such porridge in Northeast China.
My husband bought three kinds of snacks whose names I don't even know. It's enough for both of us, but there is still some left. People are old, their eyes are big and their stomachs are small! I just want to taste all kinds of food, but I have no appetite.
Modern people, in particular, have limited opportunities to lose weight, shape and taste delicious food. On this trip to the northwest, I completely gave up diet control and ate and drank to my heart's content. However, it is found that people in their fifties have really limited stomachs. I want to eat when I look at it, and I'm full when I eat it, and I'll hold on if I eat it again (it's still early to taste the food).
At 8 o'clock in the morning on the 8th, we went out to a noodle restaurant on South Street. We wanted to eat local fish noodles, but we said it would be available at noon. So I ate ordinary noodles, and the soup seemed sticky. It's not delicious. It's very different from Lanzhou beef noodles.
After dinner, we went to the nearby Big Buddha Temple, and the tickets for the Big Buddha Temple were in 40 yuan. There lies a super-large sleeping Buddha, followed by Shanxi Guild Hall, and the pavilion on the balcony is quaint and vicissitudes (not repainted). There are many Tibetan scriptures in the temple. I know nothing about these things either. Listen and explain, and then I'll come out.
The second stop is Zhangye Wetland Park, which occupies the largest area on the edge of the city. Not much smaller than the Liqun New District in our hometown. It turns out that Liqun area is the oldest wetland near Songhua River. Later, after the government developed the new residential area of Liqun and built five or six small parks, a large number of residential buildings were built. We Harbin people can't bear to build a large-scale wetland park in the city.
At the third stop, we went to colorful Danxia in Zhangye. 12 o'clock, we came out of the wetland park and took a taxi to Zhangye bus station. 1The shuttle bus from 0 yuan pulled directly to the gate of Danxia Scenic Area. Each member of the delegation will get tickets for 72 yuan (Window 75 yuan) and sightseeing, with one * * * four observation decks, three open and one closed.
We get off at each observation deck by bus, then climb up breathlessly, stroll around it for a long time, and then continue to take the bus to the next observation deck. After climbing three river observation platforms in a row, my legs became weak and I barely walked the whole distance. The fourth observation deck is the highest and most dangerous because it has been closed for three years for fear of accidents. Don't say it's closed, even if it's open, I can't climb up.
Watch the young people climb the mountain in three steps and two steps. In a blink of an eye, they can climb to the top of the mountain and take pictures of every scenic spot on the mountain. I held my breath, insisted on climbing, briefly browsed the main places, and I was too tired to walk too far.
So it is more suitable for young people to travel uphill. It's really hard to get up and down when you're old. It's still the same sentence "travel early". After retirement, there are limited places to go. You can't climb the steep mountain, but peers can't guarantee that everyone has physical strength! You can only take a bus, you can't walk, and you can't stop.
Colorful Danxia scenery is colorful, vast and magnificent, shocking and intoxicating. My language is poor, I can't write the scenery, and there are no more words to describe it. In a word, Zhang Ye's colorful Danxia is well worth visiting, especially for young people and photographers.
This trip to the northwest is relatively tight, and I basically don't have much time to write, so I just write by ear, so everyone can only make do!
I found that if I write travel notes while traveling, the best way is to travel alone. Because time depends entirely on your own situation and is not disturbed by other people's trips. As long as there are more than two people, they must take care of each other and don't have enough time to do what they want.
In summer vacation, I travel alone and have a rest for a day and a half. You can write articles synchronously as an important part of your trip. If you don't finish it at night, don't go out all morning, and go out after you finish it. Many people can't do it! Everything must be coordinated.
Having said that, going out with relatives is really happy, not lonely, not lonely; Some people take pictures, others are guides (my sister has a strong sense of direction); There are also those who run before and after (husbands), and we can play with them without thinking about it. It is estimated that most people like this kind of travel.
But I found that there are disadvantages behind this happiness, that is, I can turn people who can handle everything by themselves (such as me) into puppets and mentally retarded. Everyone has the idea of dependence and how comfortable it is to rely on others. When there is no one to rely on, your potential will be fully tapped.
If you want to experience your abilities, you must travel alone or lead your children (the elderly) to travel. Because only such people are the ones who depend on you. Always go out with people who are better than you, you will become weaker and weaker, and your dependence on ideas will become more and more serious. Slowly, frogs will be boiled in warm water.
