An introduction to Lanzhou's attractions An introduction to Lanzhou's attractions Lanzhou is located in the geometric center of China's geographical territory and is known as the "Heart of the Land Capital". It is the capital of Gansu Province, also known as Jincheng, and is the second largest city in northwest China.
The following is an introduction to Lanzhou’s attractions that I compiled. Welcome to read.
1. Introduction to the scenic spots of Lanzhou Wuquan Mountain. The geographical location of Lanzhou Wuquan Mountain. The park’s scenic spots are mainly five famous springs and ancient Buddhist buildings. Going straight up from the mountain gate along the middle passage, there are Butterfly Pavilion, King Kong Hall, Main Hall, Wanyuan Pavilion, Wenchang Palace, Di
Ancient temples such as the Tibetan Temple and the Thousand Buddha Pavilion are arranged on top of the mountain, stacked on top of each other and connected by stone steps, pavilions and corridors.
The two wings of the middle peak are East and West Longkou. Five springs are arranged in an arc along the line from East Longkou to Wenchang Palace and West Longkou, hanging on the mountainside.
The springs are connected by stone-stepped trestles and four corridors of pavilions.
The origin of the name of Wuquan Mountain in Lanzhou: During the Western Han Dynasty, General Huo Qubing led ten thousand cavalrymen to conquer the Xiongnu in the Hexi Corridor on the orders of Emperor Wu.
His troops passed through Lanzhou and camped at the foot of Gaolan Mountain.
After a long journey, the entire army was exhausted, and there was no water source nearby to cook.
The lieutenant hurriedly asked for instructions and asked the hussar general to make up his mind.
Huo Qubing remained calm, picked up his riding whip and poked it five times on the hillside. Suddenly, five streams of clear springs gurgled out from the hillside along the whip marks. The water tasted sweet. It not only supplied the water for the generals of the three armies, but also continued to flow to this day.
An important source of drinking water for people throughout the ages.
It is said that this is the origin of the name Wuquan Mountain.
In fact, in 121 BC, when Huo Qubing, a 20-year-old cavalry general, was on an expedition against the Xiongnu, he set out from today's Lintao, Gansu Province, crossed Yanzhi Mountain, and fought fiercely with the Xiongnu army at the foot of Gaolan Mountain, which is today's Gaotai County in Zhangye Prefecture.
Heli Mountain in the north and Nanshan Mountain in Lanzhou were called Gaolan Mountain around the time of the Northern Dynasties, and have nothing to do with Huo Qubing.
But later people always regarded Gaolan Mountain in Lanzhou as the Gaolan Mountain where Huo Qubing went on an expedition. After the Ming Dynasty, there was a legend that Huo Qubing poked the five springs with his whip.
New Wuquan Mountain Wuquan Mountain was established as a park in 1955. The original pavilions and pavilions have been renovated. After greening and construction, the park has winding paths and has become an important tourist attraction.
Every year on the eighth day of the fourth lunar month, a temple fair is held on the mountain. In addition to Buddha bathing and ritual activities, there are also flower exhibitions and various folk cultural activities.
A lighting exhibition is also held during the Spring Festival every year.
Wuquan Mountain has now become the first choice for leisure travel for Lanzhou people and an ideal destination worth visiting for tourists coming to Lanzhou.
Tour Guide: At the top of Wuquan Mountain is a group of ancient buildings.
Straight up from the mountain gate along the middle passage, there are Butterfly Pavilion, King Kong Hall, Mahavira Hall, Wanyuan Pavilion, Wenchang Palace, Dizang Temple, Qianfo Pavilion and other ancient temples arranged along the mountain. They are stacked on top of each other and connected by stone steps, pavilions and corridors.
The two wings of the middle peak are East and West Longkou, and the five springs are arranged in an arc along the line from East Longkou to Wenchang Palace and West Longkou, hanging on the mountainside.
The springs are connected by stone-stepped trestles and four corridors of pavilions.
Wuquan Mountain can be visited in three ways: west, middle and east. All three roads have pavilions, long stacks, rainbow bridges, clear springs and waterfalls, but the layouts are different, forming their own system, and each has its own unique features.
If you go from the west road, the first scenic spot is the "Green and Quiet New Garden". There is a plum blossom cave in the garden. In the cave, there are several clear pools, several feet of corridors, a Lingbo Pavilion, an octagonal pavilion, and an underground entertainment ground.
The reflection of the red pillars with flying eaves in the pool contrasts with the green mountains, and the scenery is beautiful and charming.
Along the west corridor, there is a small pavilion shaped like a rising crescent moon, named "Half Moon Pavilion". After passing through the Half Moon Pavilion, you will reach Qiqiao. "Huiquan", one of the five springs, is right next to Qiqiao.
The spring is round in shape, surrounded by green trees and fragrant grass. The spring water is crystal clear and sweet. It is suitable for making tea and has the benefit of irrigation. It is very affordable, so it is named "Hui Spring".
