Reminder: The section from Baoji to Tianshui has many slopes and sharp turns, and there are many large and over-long trucks, so you must drive carefully and observe carefully when overtaking.

On the way from Tianshui to Minxian, there are very few mountains, basically hilly landforms, and the large areas of terraced fields along the route are very spectacular. When I saw the prayer flags fluttering in the wind on the roadside, I realized that Tibetan houses were slowly appearing. Although this section of the road is a provincial road, it has just been repaired and is very smooth. Although the road is not very wide, there are very few vehicles.

To the west of the temple, there are tall and straight stone peaks, and there are dense pine forests at the foot of the mountain. Stay in Langmusi at night. The accommodation here is cheaper, 20 yuan per bed.

Reminder: The road from Hehe to Langmusi is mainly grassland. It is really like "cars are driving on the road and people are swimming in the middle of the painting". You can often see herds of cattle and sheep in the distance. In the evening, I admired the moon at Langmusi. The sight was very good and I could see the stars very clearly. It felt like you could reach out and pick the stars in the sky.

The white clouds are reflected on the lake, which is very beautiful. After leaving Huahu, you can drive for more than an hour to enjoy the charming scenery of the first bend of the Jiuqu Yellow River.

As the saying goes: "The Yellow River has nine bends and eighteen bays in the world." This "nine bends" was the name given to the section of the Yellow River above Guide in Qinghai during the Tang Dynasty. The first bay of the Nine-Meander Yellow River is located in Tangke Township, Zoige County. It is located in the hinterland of the grassland. The meandering river divides countless river islands and small islands. It is praised by Chinese and foreign scientists as "the solemn phantom in the universe."

In the evening, return to Langmusi via the original route.

Reminder: Be sure to bring an umbrella and wear clothes when visiting Huahu. The climate here is changeable.

The hillside behind Suogezang Temple is the best place to view the first bend of the Yellow River. The first bay of the Jiuqu Yellow River has its own unique beauty. The most beautiful scenery is at dusk, when the setting sun turns red and sets towards the mountainside, and the entire valley is shrouded in golden color. The banks of the Yellow River are green with green grass and wild flowers everywhere. Lying in the grass and among the flowers will give you the feeling of returning to nature and relax your body and mind like never before.
