On September 30th, the first day, I tasted snacks, visited commercial streets and felt the culture of western cities in Xining. Xining is an ancient city. Since ancient times, it has been an important town where many ethnic groups meet and live together. You can visit the local mosque or go to the Shuijing Lane market in the northwest handicraft distribution center. Northwest snacks are world-famous, especially the Muslim flavor here. The price of snacks will make players feel happy.
The next day 1 June1Xining-Ta 'er Temple-Qinghai Lake-Xining
After breakfast, start the first day of travel. You pass 100 kilometers of grassland avenue, with the famous Jinyintan grassland, beautiful legendary Sun Moon Mountain and Daotang River. Entering October is the most colorful season in Qinghai Lake. At this time, Qinghai Lake has entered late autumn. Although there is no green here, the grassland next to it will show golden glory. Every year, the International Cycling Challenge around Qinghai Lake is held here, about 300 kilometers around the lake. Sometimes, devout Tibetans will come here to worship around the lake. It is said that it takes months to throw yourself into the ground and circle the lake.
Go to Ta 'er Temple in the afternoon. Ta 'er Temple is located more than 30 kilometers in Xining. It is a famous Tibetan Buddhist temple in China and the birthplace of Zong Kaba, the founder of Yellow Sect. The three wonders in the temple will amaze everyone. This temple is very large in scale. If there is a Buddha's fate, your team members can go to the living Buddha's bedroom, pay homage to the living Buddha and accept the initiation ceremony. There is a folk street outside the temple, which is mostly filled with local Tibetan handicrafts and some religious supplies. The local yogurt is delicious and worth tasting. Today, the highest altitude is around 3300 in Qinghai Lake, so don't worry about altitude sickness. Go back to Xining in the evening to continue the feast of your snacks corruption.
On the third day, 65438+10.2, Xining-Regong-Wutun Temple-Rongwo Temple-Tongren
Say goodbye to this ancient city in the morning and drive south. You are going to Regong, which is the most culturally attractive Tibetan area in this trip, and is called the Golden Valley. Arrived at Huangnan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in Qinghai Province at noon, which is known as the hometown of Regong art and has enjoyed a high reputation in Tibetan areas for hundreds of years. Artists here are good at making "Thangka, pile embroidery and Buddha statues", and local children have been sent to monasteries to learn Buddhist scriptures and Thangka paintings since childhood. A Thangka painter usually has to study for about ten years to finish a beautiful Thangka independently, while a beautiful Thangka sometimes takes one to two years to draw. Thangka is a national cultural treasure in snowy areas, and is listed as the intangible cultural protection heritage of China. You will lead the team into Wutun Village and visit the magical Thangka painting process in the home of Thangka painter.
In the afternoon, enter Rongwo Temple, the largest temple in Regong area. This temple has a history of nearly 700 years. The building of this temple is a combination of China and Tibet. The ancient lecture hall and neat chanting in the temple will make people feel back in time. Choosing a small Mani stone to take home will bless peace. Stay in Tongren County on the same day.
Day 4 65438+1October 3 Regong-Labuleng Temple-Xiahe
Today you will leave Qinghai and enter Gansu. This is Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, which belongs to the intersection of Qinghai, Gansu and Sichuan provinces. There are vast grasslands in Sang Ke and Labrang Temple, the largest temple of the Gelug Sect.
Entering Xiahe Town at noon, it is named after the Daxia River that flows by. First, enter the location of world without thieves-Labuleng Temple. Labrang Temple has the longest prayer corridor in the world, where devout Tibetans can be seen everywhere. After entering the temple, you will find that it is somewhat different from the temples in Qinghai. Many people come here with wishes and Buddha's fate. If you are destined, you will see a living Buddha in the hall. Every barn in the temple is worth savoring, and you will sigh that the Labrang Temple is so big.
Out of the temple, I came to the old street of Xiahe Town. There are many shops, all kinds of silverware, bronzes, Nepalese shawls and so on. All kinds of Tibetan handicrafts and ornaments will dazzle you. The first floor of the old street is generally a shop, and the second floor is basically a restaurant. Today's dinner, you will choose a Tibetan restaurant to taste pure Tibetan food, where Tibetan steamed buns, butter tea, highland barley and yogurt are essential contents.
In the evening, you gather in the old street. Although the night is coming, your wonderful activities have just begun. Take a bus into Sanke Grassland, where there is a Tibetan resort. The grassland at night is beautiful, and your trip is wonderful. That night, you lit a bonfire on the grassland. Handsome Tibetan boys and beautiful Tibetan girls offer you white Hada and auspicious wishes with the most original songs, accompanied by a sweet mandolin and tasting sweet highland barley wine. This is an activity of Tibetan people to celebrate the harvest, which is called Pot Village. These local Tibetan men and women perform pot dance for you. Please join the team and enjoy the dance by the campfire.
On the fifth day, 65438+1October 4th, Xiahe-langmusi.
Say goodbye to Xiahe in the morning and go to "Little Swiss in the East"-langmusi. There is only a river between here and Sichuan. Bailong River flows slowly through the town. Langmu town is small, but it will bring you many surprises. Many years ago, many foreigners lived here and built churches. At that time, they brought western food here. When you enter the town, you will find that the signs of many restaurants here are apple pie, salad and steak. There are still many mixed-race descendants living here. When foreigners return to China, they write many articles about it, so there are more foreign tourists here than China people every year.
In the afternoon, I entered langmusi, a temple built on the mountain. Many buildings are very old. The most famous one here is the celestial burial platform at the top of the temple. It is about 3700 meters above sea level and is still in use today. When the celestial burial is held, outsiders are not allowed to visit. Generally, celestial burial begins in the early morning, so you can still enter the vicinity of celestial burial platform in the afternoon.
When night comes, the whole town will be full of excitement. A bar full of petty bourgeoisie makes you feel like you are in Houhai, Beijing. Backpackers can be seen everywhere on both sides of the side street. North and south don't know each other, just because of fate, you raise your glass.
On the sixth day, 65438+10.5, langmusi-Gahai-Phantom Eight Buddha Pavilion-Lanzhou.
In the morning, you wake up in the smog in langmusi and drive north. On the way, you will pass through a magical wetland. On the Gahai grassland at an altitude of 3,400 meters in Luqu, Gannan Prefecture, there is an undeveloped primitive lake that sleeps quietly in the grassland. Known by local shepherds as the "Plateau God Lake". Gahai grassland and Gahai township are named after this, and the lake is surrounded by excellent natural pastures. Rivers criss-cross, rich in vegetation, and there are all kinds of precious migratory birds, flocks of yaks and Tibetan mastiffs taking care of their homes by the lake. You stopped the car and took a group photo. Passing through Hezuo City, there is a nine-story Buddha Hall built in memory of Master Millary Ba. You must take off your shoes before you can visit it. It is the only famous Gaojiao Temple in Tibetan areas dedicated to the masters of various schools of Tibetan Buddhism.
Before entering Lanzhou, you have to go through a place called Linxia, which is called "Mecca" in China. Entering Linxia, you can see dozens of mosques. It seems that in Islamic countries, most women here are covered with black headscarves.
In the evening, you come to Lanzhou, a city near the Yellow River, which is the largest city in the northwest of China and the place where ancient civilizations meet. Of course, we will choose Lanzhou specialty snacks and absolutely authentic Lanzhou beef Lamian Noodles for dinner. You checked into Lanzhou Hotel that night.
Day 7 65438+1October 6 Lanzhou-Return to China by plane or train.
On this day, your happy journey will come to an end and the team members will return to their hometown. If you have time, you can choose to visit the Yellow River Bridge and Bingling Temple Grottoes in Lanzhou. Lanzhou also has many specialties, so it is recommended to go to a large supermarket to buy them.
