Culture Activities

Located in the upper reaches of the Yellow Riv-

er, northwest China, Gansu is one of the cradles

of Chinese cultures. With a long history and

brilliant cultures, Gansu is abundantly en-

dowed with cultural relics and natural scenery.

Vast and graceful natural scenery like endless

desert and pure glacial landscape presents an

impressive and breath-taking picture before

your eyes. Take for example the world-

famous Mogao Caves. It is the largest and most

well-preserved Buddhist art palace and also a

post along the ancient Silk Road; the

grand Jiayuguan Pass, an important outpost in

ancient China, is the western end of the Great

Wall.

Lanzhou, a well-known ancient city in China, is the capital of Gansu. It is

the second largest city in northwest China, and also the political, eco-

nomic and cultural center of the province.

The Yellow River, the Chinese Mother River, runs through the city, ensur-

ing rich crops of many juicy and fragrant fruits. Covering an area of

1631.6 square kilometers (629.96 square miles), it was once a key point

on the ancient Silk Road. Today, it is a hub of the Silk Road Tourism Ring.

Culture Activities

Dunhuang

Echoing-Sand Mountain (Mingsha Shan)

The mountain is five kilometers away from the city of

Dunhuang. Seen from afar, the mountain is just like a golden

dragon winding its way over the horizon. As you approach

you become aware that the sand has many colors ranging

from red to yellow, green, black and white. On days when a

strong wind blows, the fast shifting sand roars; but when the

wind is little more than a light breeze, the sand produces

gentle, dulcet sounds akin to music. It is the same when you

are sliding down the mountainside. At first, the sand under

your feet just whispers; but the further you slide, the louder

the sound until it reaches a crescendo like thunder or a drum

beat. Some say that the sand is singing, while to others it is

like an echo and this is how the mountain gets its name.

The Crescent Lake

The Crescent Lake is also known as the Crescent Spring or Yueya Spring.

It is located north of the Echoing-Sand Mountain and about six kilometers

south of Dunhuang City. It can be considered a natural wonder of the Go-

bi Desert. Just as its name implies, the lake appears like a crescent moon

and with its crystal clear water, resembles a turquoise or pearl inlaid in

the vast desert. Some say it reminds them of the eye of a beautiful woman,

lucid, beautiful and amorous. Others say it looks like the mysterious, gen-

tle and seductive lips of a pretty woman, or a slice of a lush, sweet and

crystal cantaloupe.

Mogao Caves

Located 25 kilometers southeast of Dunhuang, Mogao Caves is regarded

as the premier Buddhist spot in China, perhaps in the whole world. The

artistic features of the treasured Buddhist murals represent perfectly the

artistic style of the Northern Wei (386-543), Sui (581-618) and Tang (618-

907) dynasties through the combination of the architecture, statues and

murals in the caves. Presently, there are about ten caves and two exhibi-

tion centers open to the public, occasionally more during public holi-

days.

Danxia Landform Geopark (Rainbow Mountains )

Extending along the northern slope of Qilian Mountain in west China,

Zhangye Danxia National Geological Park in Gansu is the best repre-

sentative of China's colorful Danxia landform and the largest Danxia land-

scape in an arid area, with a wide variety of landforms. Undulating fiery-

red ridges together with amazing multicolored mountain folds transform

the park into an immense sea of fire with rolling waves, earning it the rep-

utation of China's Rainbow Mountains and also one of the 'Top 10 Geo-

graphical Wonders of the World' selected by the National Geographic.

Culture Activities

Jiayuguan Great Wall

Jiayuguan is a pass standing at the western end of the Ming Dynasty

Great Wall. Different from the well-known sections built with stones or

bricks, Jiayuguan Great Wall was built with rammed earth, making yel-

low its dominant hue and helping the pass blend harmoniously with the

surrounding desert. The city where the pass is located is named after the

pass, also called Jiayuguan, sitting in China’s northwest Gansu Province.

Chaka Salt Lake

Chaka Salt Lake (Caka Salt Lake) is in the western part of the Chaka Basin,

298 kilometers from Xining, capital of Qinghai. This natural crystallized

saline lake is regarded as the eastern gateway to Qaidam Basin, which

reserves the largest salt mine in the world. Lying at an altitude of 3,059

meters , the lake is oval shape and covers an area of 105 square kilome-

ters , ten times larger than theWest Lake of Hangzhou. However, it is the

smallest among the several salt lakes in Qaidam area, but different from

others for its coexistence of both solid and liquid salt. The snow-white

lake bed and the crystal blue water against the azure sky win it the repu-

tation of ‘Mirror of the Sky’. Travel to such a beautiful world of salt em-

bedded in the snowy mountains and verdant meadows, tourists would in-

evitably feel like they are in a fairyland.

Culture Activities

Qinghai Lake

From ancient times to the present, whenever people mention Qing-

hai Lake they think of 'green lake', 'blue sea' or 'fairyland', because of

the marvelous natural beauty reflected on it. As to the area, it is the

largest inland and salt water lake in China. It is no exaggeration to

say that Qinghai Lake is a miracle that is endowed by a deity. Out-

side, he circles the lake with four continuous mountains and extends

broad grassland at the foot of them. Inside, like a master baker, he

decorated the water with many little islands. All these natural attrac-

tions come together perfectly to form a Xanadu on earth to win many

tourists' favor.
