Introduction to Lanzhou's attractions
Introduction to Lanzhou's attractions
Lanzhou is located in the geometric center of China's geographical territory. It is said to be the "heart of the land capital" and is the center of Gansu Province. The provincial capital, also known as Jincheng, 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 the five famous springs and ancient Buddhist buildings. Straight up the middle passage, there are ancient temples such as Butterfly Pavilion, King Kong Hall, Main Hall, Wanyuan Pavilion, Wenchang Palace, Dizang Temple, Thousand Buddha 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. 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 Wuquan Mountain in Lanzhou
During the Western Han Dynasty, Huo Qubing, the general of the Hussars, led ten thousand cavalry to conquer the Xiongnu in the Hexi Corridor on the order 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 deputy general 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 winding paths in the park are peaceful. It has now 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 place 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 and rainbow bridges, clear springs and waterfalls, but
the layouts are different and self-contained. Each system 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 meters of corridors, a Lingbo Pavilion and an octagonal pavilion. An underground entertainment venue. 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".
After leaving Huiquan, walking up the bluestone steps, you will arrive at the prestigious "Mani Temple". The ancient locust trees here are rich, and the temple is quiet. A row of hanging towers crosses the temple gate, with Kanxia Tower in the east and Yanyue Tower in the west. Downstairs and in front are Yiyi Path, Zhezi Gate, Chongyuan, Diedie Garden, and Ququ Pavilion. Small and exquisite, with twists and turns. After leaving Mani Temple and continuing to the higher ground, I saw a clear waterfall on one side of the wall cascading down into a clear pool below the wall. This is Xilongkou. It is very close to the Manna Spring. "Nanlu Spring" is the highest spring among the five springs. It is located to the west of Wenchang Palace. It is covered by a solitary pavilion and has a slender source. It does not dry up after long periods of rain or drought. Drinking it is like nectar. According to legend, this spring is named after the meaning of "when the world is at peace, nectar will fall from the sky".
After leaving the Manlu Spring, you will arrive at Wenchang Palace. There is a flower wall on the east side of the palace. On the lintel of the small vase-shaped door, there are three light gray official characters - Jueyuequan - written in large letters. This spring is very different from other springs. It is said to be a spring, but in fact it is more like a well. The spring water gathers in a deep hole like a well, about 1.6 meters deep from the ground. Every moonlit night, the moon's shadow casts directly into the heart of the spring, like a moon in a disk, hence the elegant name "Moon". This is also the confluence of three routes up the mountain from the west, middle and east. Adjacent to Wenchang Palace is Kuangguan Tower. Climb up the stairs and have a panoramic view of Lanzhou city. There is an ancient cave about 10 meters deep downstairs. There is a pool of spring water at the bottom of the cave. The bottom of the water is covered with flowers, rocks and rubble. This is the "Mozi Spring" among the five springs. There are often believers and good women who get into the cave and grope in the spring water with their hands. If they touch the stones, they will get a boy, and if they touch the tiles, they will get a girl. Liu Er_ once wrote a couplet at the door of the cave, mocking this superstitious behavior as "confusion". I foolishly took the Buddha's feet and asked for them to be my parents; I took the stones away and said they were my children and grandchildren."
Going out of the Kuangguan Pavilion and climbing up to the top of the mountain, you arrived at the Thousand Buddha Pavilion. . It is built on top of the waterfall in Donglongkou. It is majestic and has an astonishingly dangerous terrain. It is the tallest building in Wuquan Mountain. Looking down from the railing, I can see the east corridor soaring down, across the heavy rocks, around the clear stream, surrounded by pavilions and pavilions, surrounding half of the garden, like the Great Wall guarding the forest and spring. Step out of Qianfo Pavilion and walk slowly down the east corridor to reach Ziwu Terrace and Bagua Terrace. It borders Donglongkou on the top and Mengquan on the bottom. Looking up, you can see the waterfall cascading down from Donglongkou, and looking down, you can enjoy the "Mengquan", the crown of the five springs. "Meng" is the name of the hexagram, one of the sixty-four hexagrams. The ridge is above the gen and the ridge is below. The ridge is water and gen is the mountain. The word "Meng" is used to summarize the appearance of the east valley, which means there is danger under the mountain. Li Wen of the Ming Dynasty once wrote a poem praising Mengquan: "The Master invited me to cook new tea, and the water flows from the fifth spring in the mountain."
Looking from the east corridor to the west, there is a tower under the tall and steep Qingyun Ladder. The four-corner bell pavilion stands majestically on the mountainside. Hanging in the pavilion is a Taihe bell about 3 meters high, 2 meters wide and weighing 10,000 kilograms. It was cast in the second year of Jin Taihe (AD 1202) and was supervised by a pickaxe to be inspected. This bell has a majestic shape, a loud sound, and the inscriptions are clearly legible. Originally hung in the Bell and Drum Tower of Puzhao Temple (the former site of Lanyuan), it is one of the earliest epigraphic cultural relics in Lanzhou. After liberation, it was moved to Wuquan Mountain and is now a provincial-level key protected cultural relic.
Go down from the Bell Pavilion, pass through the Wanyuan Pavilion and the Daxiong Hall, and arrive at the "King Kong Hall" (the middle hall of Chongqing Temple in the Ming Dynasty). The main hall has a gabled roof, brackets and cornices, carved beams and painted pillars, with exquisite structure and solemn momentum. The original four King Kong statues in the hall have all disappeared. Only a bronze lotus base with a bronze Buddha and an iron chip cast in the third year of Hongwu (AD 1370) by Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty still exists. The Buddha statue is 5.3 meters high, 2.7 meters wide, and weighs more than 20,000 kilograms. It stands on a lotus iron seat. It has a plump face, a slight smile, and clear folds. It holds a begging bowl with its left hand and raises its right hand lightly, as if waving to Chinese and foreign tourists.
Historical legends
Wuquan Mountain is located in the south of Lanzhou City and at the northern foot of Gaolan Mountain. There are pavilions on top of each other, arranged along the mountain, with streams like ribbons and green trees, giving it a quiet mountain scenery. Wuquan Mountain is named after the five springs on the mountain. It is said that during the reign of Emperor Wu, Huo Qubing was sent to conquer the Xiongnu in the west. He once stationed his troops in this mountain. The soldiers were tired and thirsty, and Huo Qubing "took his whip and came out of the spring". These five-eyed springs still exist today. One is the nectar spring, which is located to the west of Wenchang Palace. It is covered by a solitary pavilion and has a clear spring trickling in. It does not dry up after a long rain or a severe drought. Drinking it is like nectar. The second is the Jueyue Spring, located to the east of Wenchang Palace. The spring is about a foot wide and about five feet deep. It is shaped like a well. On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the moon rises from Dongshan Mountain. The moon is the earliest here. The shadow of the moon casts into the center of the spring, like a moon disk. middle. The third one is in the Mozi Cave downstairs. In the past, good men and women used their hands to explore the spring water and said that those who touched the stones would conceive a boy, and those who touched the tiles would conceive a girl. Liu Erxin, a scholar in the late Qing Dynasty, once wrote a couplet at the entrance of the cave, mocking this superstitious behavior as "confused, taking the Buddha's feet and asking for them as parents; plainly taking the stones and saying they are children and grandchildren." The fourth is Mengquan. Exit from Donglongkou. The cliff here is soaring in the sky, and there is a waterfall cascading down, like a hanging exercise or a yarn, falling into the rocks, splashing countless pearls, flowing to the grass slopes, and forming a bright mirror. "Meng" is the name of the hexagram, which means there is danger at the foot of Donggu Mountain. The fifth is Huiquan. It is located at the bottom of the valley at the south end of Qiqiao under Xilongkou. The spring is round in shape, with pure water and clear sand. It has a sweet taste and is suitable for cooking. It is also beneficial for irrigation and benefits the people, so it is named .
Wuquan Mountain is a famous scenic spot in Lanzhou City. Temples were built here during the Tang and Song Dynasties, but were later destroyed by war. There are currently more than 10,000 square meters of buildings, among which Chongqing Temple, Mani Temple, Reclining Buddha Hall, Dizang Temple, etc. are mostly built in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Most of the ancient buildings are concentrated in Zhongfeng. When you enter the mountain gate and go straight up the middle passage, you will see stacked palaces and scattered pavilions, which is very spectacular. On both sides of the middle peak are the east and west dragon's mouths. In the deep valley, there are clear springs and green trees, covered with trees and surrounded by corridors, pavilions and pavilions. Using water from mountain springs, Donglongkou built a new lotus pond with rippling blue waves and a nine-curved bridge over the meandering pond. Next to the pond stand two dragons playing with pearls on the glazed wall. There are more than 240 levels and a 97-meter long corridor spiraling up, connecting Donglongkou and Zhongfeng. Xilongkou is located on the mountain, and a "Xiao Penglai" with tall pavilions and green springs has been built, as well as a "New Cuishan Garden" with clear water, pavilions and green trees. The zoo on the west side of Xilongkou has a deer garden, a bear pond, a liger house, a monkey mountain, a poultry garden, a panda house, etc. The "Bronze Jie Yin Buddha" and "Taihe Iron Bell" in Wuquan Mountain are the "treasures of the mountain" in the park and are now national-level protected cultural relics.
The "Bronze Jieyin Buddha" was originally placed in Jieyin Temple in Dongguan, Lanzhou, but is now moved to the King Kong Hall in Wuquan Mountain. This is a bronze Buddha cast in the Hongwu Year of the Ming Dynasty (AD 1370). It is one foot six feet tall and eight feet in circumference. It weighs about 10,000 kilograms. The shape is beautiful, the folds of the clothes are clear, the facial expression is honest and rich, the expression is calm and solemn, the face is smiling, the left hand is begging for alms, and the right hand is stretched out, showing a look of compassion for heaven and earth, and the guidance of all living beings. This is an extremely precious cultural relic.

This iron bell was cast in the second year of Taihe (AD 1202) of Zhang Zong in the Jin Dynasty. It is nine feet high, six feet in diameter and weighs 10,000 kilograms. The shape is majestic and solemn, and the sound is rich and resonant.

2. Statue of the Yellow River Mother
The mother (symbolizing the Yellow River) has flowing hair, a kind expression, a long and well-proportioned body, graceful curves, a slight smile, her head raised and her right arm slightly bent, lying on her back on the waves. Above it, nestled on the right side is a naked baby boy (symbolizing the Chinese people), looking slightly to the left, raising his head and smiling innocently, looking naughty and cute, symbolizing the mother of the Yellow River who loves and protects the Chinese people. The sculpture has a concise composition and profound meaning. The lower base of the sculpture is engraved with water ripples and fish patterns, which are derived from the original patterns of ancient Gansu painted pottery.
At the same time, water ripples and fish patterns also reflect the keen observation of natural phenomena by the ancestors of the Yellow River Basin, illustrating the inherent strength of the Chinese people. In front of the sculpture is a monument "Dedicated to the Cradle of the Chinese Nation - Mother of the Yellow River" erected by the National Youth Earth Science Summer Camp in August 1984.
Selection of materials for the sculpture of the Yellow River Mother Statue When it comes to granite, many friends will ask, why not use white marble or other materials with better texture for sculpture, but use ordinary granite? Then we might as well take a look at what color the Yellow River water is? Let’s take a look at what color our skin is? Now everyone understands! Granite was chosen because it can better express the color of the Yellow River and the skin color of us descendants of the Yellow River. At the same time, the rough texture of granite seems to tell the vicissitudes and great changes that the Chinese nation has experienced for thousands of years.

Lanzhou Baita Mountain Park is located on the north bank of the Yellow River in Lanzhou City. It is named after a Yuan Dynasty white pagoda on the top of the mountain. Baita Mountain is a majestic and undulating mountain that stretches over the outskirts of the city and has the potential to embrace the Golden City. Climbing to the top of the White Pagoda, you can overlook the city of Lanzhou. The White Pagoda and the iron bridge over the Yellow River form a majestic picture and become one of the symbols of Lanzhou City.
In ancient times, it formed a natural barrier with the Yellow River and was a strategic military location. The White Pagoda was originally built to commemorate a Tibetan Sakya lama who went to Mongolia to meet Genghis Khan and died of illness in Lanzhou. The existing white pagoda was rebuilt by Liu Yongcheng, the eunuch of Gansu Province, during the Jingtai period of the Ming Dynasty (1450-1456). In the 54th year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty (1715), Governor Chuoqi repaired the old and added new ones, expanded the temple site, and named it Ci'en Temple. The white pagoda has seven levels and eight sides, about 17 meters high. It has a garden foundation below and a green roof. Buddha statues are carved on each side, and iron horse bells are tied to the eaves and corners. The outside of the tower is painted with white paste, as if it were built of white jade. The mountain is 1,700 meters high. It was established as a park in 1958, with a total construction area of ??more than 8,000 square meters. It is divided into three building groups, built against the mountain, with red eaves and red pillars. The buildings are connected by pavilions, pavilions and corridors, extending in all directions. There were originally elephant skin drums, bronze bells, and redbud trees on the mountain, which were called the "Three Treasures of the Mountain" in ancient times. Now the redbud trees have died. Baita Mountain has been greened for many years, with tall trees and dense forests and winding paths. The unique "Yellow River Stone Pavilion" and the reception room of the Yugu people in the park are rare elsewhere and have unique style. At the foot of the mountain is the Zhongshan Bridge, which connects the two together and becomes a must-visit place in Lanzhou.
Attraction introduction
The White Pagoda Temple is on the top of the mountain. According to legend, it was built to commemorate the famous Tibetan lama who died in Lanzhou in the Yuan Dynasty because he went to Mongolia to meet Genghis Khan. According to records, when Genghis Khan, the Taizu of the Yuan Dynasty, unified the territory of the Yuan Empire, he wrote to the Dharma King of the Sakya Sect of Tibetan Lamaism. The King of France sent a famous lama to meet Genghis Khan. Unfortunately, the lama died of illness while passing through Lanzhou, so the Yuan Dynasty ordered a pagoda to be built in memory. The white pagoda built in the Yuan Dynasty no longer exists. The existing pagoda was rebuilt on the old site by Liu Yongcheng, the eunuch of Gansu during the Jingtai period of the Ming Dynasty (1450-1456). In the fifty-fourth year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty (1715), Governor Chuoqi repaired the old and added new ones, expanded the temple site, and changed its name to Ci'en Temple, but the people still called it Baita Temple. The White Pagoda has seven levels on eight sides and is 17 meters high. There are Buddha statues on each side of each level. There is a bronze horse on the corner eaves, which sounds crisp and pleasant when the breeze blows. The top is crowned with a green roof and the bottom is built with a round foundation. Qin Weiyue, a native of the Qing Dynasty, wrote in a poem: "The North Shanghuan is surrounded by towering mountains, and the shadow of the pagoda is majestic on the upper slope. The ground is scattered with gold and is famous for its treasures, and a pillar holding up the sky overlooks the Yellow River." It depicts the majestic appearance of the White Pagoda.
After exiting the Baita Temple gate, go west and turn right, where you will find Shuilian Guanyin Cave. On the northwest platform of the cave, there are Guandi Temple, Zhuchun Pavilion, Orchid Terrace, and a pavilion called "Peony Pavilion" at the top of the mountain. Slightly lower in the southwest of Baita Temple, there is a protruding peak, known as Fengling Mountain. During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, the Sanguan Hall and Guanyin Cave were built on it. During the Jiaqing period, additional buildings such as Yaowang Hall, Caishen Hall and three Lingguan Buildings were built. There is the Temple of the Three Religions and Taoism in the southeast of the temple, and the Hall of the Three Emperors in the east of the temple. There is a stone arch bridge in front of the temple, and the stone arch serves as the door, allowing for communication. After passing the archway and going down, you will find the Luohan Hall. There are more than 10 hanging towers in front of the hall for visitors to overlook and rest. On another peak to the southeast of the Sanjiao Temple is the Sanxing Hall. The entrance to the hall is the "Fenglin Xiangnuo" archway, and on the back is the "Xiuying Santai", which roughly refers to the Fenglin Ancient Pass in the east and the Gaolan Mountain Santai in the south. The meaning of pavilion. Follow the winding path southward to Sitai Hall, which is also the most important road up the mountain. The original Wenchang Palace on the east side of the mountain, with Kuixing Pavilion in the middle, was the place where scholars in the old days prayed for admission. Now it has been changed into the Baihua Tea House, where tourists can eat and rest.
Going straight down the mountain from the south of Baita Temple, people in the past divided the mountain into ten levels, and each level had a small palace, collectively called the "Ten Kings Hall". To the south of the Ten Kings Hall is the Four Sacred Palaces. There is an arch bridge to the south of the palace. To the south of the bridge is the Jade Emperor Pavilion, and to the south of the pavilion is the Patriarch's Hall. During the reconstruction, most of the Ten King's Halls have been demolished, but only one remains on the top of the cliff. Among the ancient buildings on the top of the mountain are the Yingxuke Pavilion, and the Dongfeng Pavilion and Xiyu Pavilion on the tops of the east, west and north mountains. When you climb up to the various palaces and pavilions, you can lean on the railing and overlook the sunrise, and look across the Yellow River to see the various scenes.
Baita Mountain has tall trees and dense forests, and winding paths lead to secluded areas. Standing on the mountain, you can have a panoramic view of the city's landscape and the nine-winding mother river. It has become a must-visit place in Lanzhou because of its Yuan Dynasty White Pagoda. Every year from early June to mid-September is the best time to escape the summer heat and relax. On Saturdays and Sundays, it is a place where people gather.
