, due to its special terrain and location, it is rich in tourism resources, including mountains, grasslands, wetlands, snow-capped mountains, deserts, Gobi, etc. It can be said to be a complete collection of natural landscapes. In addition to the Grand Buddha Temple, there are many places to visit. We recommend them one by one below.

Shandan
Damaying Ranch in the Qilian Mountains, 55 kilometers south of the county, is currently the oldest horse farm in the world, the largest in Asia, and the second largest horse farm in the world.
Shandan
The military horse racing field is flat, with luxuriant water and grass. The grass is green in summer and golden in winter. It is an ideal place for horses to breed and grow. Horses were raised here as early as more than 3,000 years ago. Since the Western Han Dynasty, based on the local Mongolian horses, various fine horses from the Western Regions have been introduced here.
Shandan
The horse is famous all over the world.
4: Pingshan Lake Grand Canyon
Pingshan Lake Grand Canyon is only 56 kilometers away from the city. It is the largest canyon in China.
Zhangye
The landform landscape is one of the most beautiful landscapes in the Grand View Garden. In the canyon, the mountains are leaning against the walls, the peaks are towering according to the terrain, and the stone forests are intertwined, like a mirage or a fairy mountain. Stepping into the maze-like canyon, surrounded by criss-crossing ravines and forested peaks, it is like the ingenious work of the world’s architects. It is dizzying for people to see: rows of buildings, majestic palaces, towers of people, birds and animals, all of which are lifelike. It is so big and highly ornamental that it is rare in the world. The scenic spot integrates the Grand Canyon, stone forest wonders, Gobi Snow Mountains, virgin forests, self-driving cross-country, sports climbing, and ethnic customs. It integrates scientific and aesthetic values and has become a new highlight in science popularization, ecology, and adventure tourism.
5: Hometown of the National Museum - Yanzhi Mountain
In the fifth year of the Sui Dynasty (609) in Yanzhi Mountain, when Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty went westward, he climbed this mountain to summon envoys from 27 countries in the Western Regions, which was known as the “Exposition of All Nations” in history. The scenic area is covered by lush and dense primeval forests. On the mountains, there are forests, seas of pines, and endless blue waves; at the foot of the mountains, there are ravines and clear springs; in the valleys, wild animals such as deer, deer, badgers, sheep, etc. appear; there are many strange rocks on both sides of the canyon. There are also Zhongshan Temple and Jade Emperor Hall dotting the peaks of the mountains and forests. The natural scenery of the scenic spot is beautiful and charming, making it a rare place for summer escape, leisure vacation, and sightseeing.
There are many places with the most beautiful scenery, so I won’t list them all here. In short, the most beautiful scenery is on the road. I am willing to travel north and south with like-minded friends, and it will be both bitter and joyful, and more rewarding. What I gained was not just a few favorite photos, but more importantly, a precious friendship. I think this is fate.
