Linxia is one of the few Hui autonomous regions and cities in China, and Muslim restaurants are not built. In those years, all the delicious food I ate in Xi 'an was tasted in Linxia. To be exact, it is an original upgraded version. This small town in the Yellow River valley has an exotic style and rich local culture far beyond my expectation.
Linxia city has built a new ancient city called "Eight Pavilions and Thirteen Alleys", and those delicious foods are in these alleys. Imagine that the three lanes and seven lanes in Fuzhou are already very large, and the scale of the eight lanes and thirteen lanes should not be underestimated. Every street is a cultural feast, telling the past of the ancient river state. It was originally called the dry dock, and the Silk Road and the ancient tea-horse road passed through here, making it rich.
Because there is no train in Linxia, it is more convenient to choose self-driving for in-depth travel in Linxia.
There are Islamic customs in 13 places in all directions. Stay for two days properly and then go to Yongjing County. Yongjing County has Liujiaxia Reservoir, which is a rich yellow river style in the west. "Lingbing Lake" is another name for Liujiaxia. Take a speedboat, walk for an hour from Bingling Temple on Daba Road in Liujiaxia, and pass through the forest of Lingbing Stone with myriad weather. Lingbing Shilin is next to Bingling Temple. You can't visit it in one day. It is best to stay in Bingling Temple for one night and feel the sun, moon and stars in the Stone Forest. At the same time, there are many scenic spots in Bingling Temple. Because the artistic value and archaeological value of Bingling Temple are second only to Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, it attracts a large number of foreign tourists to visit here.
Yongjing County is very close to Lanzhou Zhongchuan Airport (without passing through the downtown area of Lanzhou), so it is very convenient to rent a car and return it. This route is suitable for five days.
