Summer travel guide—Impression of Northwest China
You don’t know that in this late autumn, you can spend your time alone
The secret of a tree is not revealed to one person easily
Do you think that from spring to autumn, everything has been exposed?
joy, compassion, abjection, withering
These words sway in the midnight light, kind and friendly
They correspond to a sky with countless constellations
I have also been to the grasslands and deserts you have been to
I drank the poisonous wine you drank too
When you were wandering, I didn’t have a home of my own.
When the earth tolerates a person, its power makes people fearful
This wasteland may be even bigger if it's 800 miles away
But in a lonely temple, the practitioners still have evil intentions
You are still in good health and willing to walk from one wasteland to another
You chase the biggest sunset
I want all my sobs to be forced back into my heart and my destiny

The magic of Crescent Moon Spring in the northwest is a question that science cannot answer. All places are swallowed up by the desert. Only this clear spring that has not dried up for thousands of years has never been swallowed up by the desert. Even if a strong wind comes, the desert will naturally avoid this clear spring.
Since the year of its birth, Crescent Moon Spring has passed through countless dynasties and has never been buried or polluted by the desert. The water here is still crystal clear. The entire desert is so dry. Only the Crescent Moon Spring, which has not dried up for thousands of years, has been lying here forever. Just like the Fudo Ming King next to the Tathagata, he has faced endless changes in the outside world, but he has remained calm. move.
Summer light, blue sea, red skirt, watermelon ice, ice cream and milk tea, the universe.
Sun Moon Mountain as Qinghai One of the more famous attractions is not how colorful its scenery is, but the historical and cultural colors of the time. According to legend, during the Tang Dynasty, in order to maintain the friendship between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, Emperor Taizong of Tang had to give up his beloved daughter Wencheng.

Snow mountain and Wangxiang Pavilion and other scenery. There is a fee of 40 yuan to enter the Riyue Mountain Scenic Area. I personally do not recommend entering the scenic area. You can enjoy most of the scenery outside the scenic area.
The scenery of Riyue Mountain under the blue sky and white clouds is very good. You can enjoy this beautiful scenery without entering the paid scenic area. This feels pretty good, right?
From Riyue Mountain, you can also see the snow-capped mountains in the distance, which is very shocking!
There is a lovely you hidden in the summer, like the bubbling soda, the sunset at dusk and the cat who often lies on the windowsill to sleep in.
