If you knew about Longnan, why bother going to the south of the Yangtze River? Longnan, with the charm of Wudu, is a city with over 7,000 years of history. It is the only area in Gansu where the Yangtze River flows through its entirety. Located at the intersection of Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Gansu provinces, it is a multi-ethnic settlement with a rich and diverse diet. The terrain is varied, making it the hometown of Chinese prickly ash, Chinese medicinal herbs, and Chinese olive oil. 👉 How to Play Day 1 1️⃣ Jiezhou Morning Market/Spiral Road: The morning market here is great to visit, with many local residents and a strong local flavor. It turns into a night market in the evening, which is not very special, so it's recommended to go early in the morning. 2️⃣ Longnan Museum: Learn about the history and culture of Longnan. The library and Wanda Plaza are also nearby. 3️⃣ Bailong River Covered Bridge/Riverside Park: It is suggested to come here in the evening, enjoy the river breeze, and the lights on both sides are beautiful. Day 2 Rent a car/share a ride 🚗 or go to the bus station to take a bus to Wen County Tianchi. The journey takes about 2.5 hours. Tianchi is not big, and there is enough time for a round trip in one day. 👉 What to Eat 1️⃣ Jiaotuan: A Longnan specialty, the texture is a bit like sticky rice cake. It's not recommended to go to storefronts; the ones at the Jiezhou stalls are great. 2️⃣ Walnut Cake: Similar to naan, dry and fragrant, cheap and large portions. It can be kept for a week or so. 3️⃣ Cherries 🍒, peaches 🍑, and figs from the morning market are all very fresh and reasonably priced. 4️⃣ Longfangxia Sweet Embryo Milk Tea: Local milk tea, super large cup, tastes a bit like fermented rice wine. The taste is quite good. 5️⃣ Laifu Mutton Restaurant: A large bowl served with flatbread, the mutton is fresh without any gamey taste, and the soup is delicious. 6️⃣ Fengzheng Noodle Path: A very popular local star old shop. If you go late, there might be none left. The signature hand-beaten noodles are particularly chewy, super delicious, served in a large bowl with very generous toppings. Highly recommended. ⚠️ Important Notes ❗❗ 1️⃣ Near the Longnan 🚅 station exit, there are elevators on both sides that are not easy to find. If you have luggage, it is recommended to take the elevator 🛗, as there are many steps on the footpath. 2️⃣ The museum does not require a reservation; just swipe your ID card on-site. 3️⃣ Recently, Tianchi's policy allows for free admission with fuel charges and accommodation proof from Wudu District. 4️⃣ If you're returning from Tianchi on the same day, remember the last bus time or ask the driver for contact information when carpooling. 5️⃣ Longnan Wudu District is not big, and accommodations 🏨 near Dongjiang/High-Speed Train Station are very convenient.

⭐️ The southernmost city of Gansu—Longnan. It is often referred to as "Jiangnan on the Loess Plateau." From Guangyuan to Longnan, one crosses from Sichuan into Gansu, and the terrain undergoes a noticeable change. Due to its proximity to the Qinling Mountains, the area is not only graceful but also carries the grandeur and desolation of the northwest. ⭐️ The Jiezhou night market and morning market are very delicious, a dazzling treasure trove of food streets. At night, there are barbecues, clay pot dishes, milk egg fermented rice soup, fried pancakes, spicy hot pot... and in the morning, there are stirred mung bean jelly, cold skin noodles, roujiamo... There are so many delicious foods that one cannot finish them all, the prices are not expensive, the portions are generous, and there are few tourists, mostly locals eating. ⭐️ After visiting the night market, you can go to the riverside to see the night view. The Bailong River covered bridge is very photogenic at night, and there is also a riverside park where many people take walks. If you want to overlook the entire city, you can go to Wudu Nanshan Park. ⭐️ The "Longnan City Museum" seems to have just opened recently, open from Tuesday to Sunday 9:00-17:00 (entry stops at 16:30, closed on Mondays). You can enter with your ID card, there are few people, but it is very worthwhile to visit, especially the first exhibition hall where you can take your time. There are also several interactive mini-games, and the Longnan City Museum's cultural relics matching game is very fun.

Just after experiencing the drag of the Baiyin Museum, I originally had no hope for Longnan. After reading the introduction, I found that it was a new museum opened in June this year. I thought I would give it a chance. Anyway, I came here. I didn't expect to find it really great after watching it. There are history and stories, rich cultural relics and hard goods, clear and smooth exhibition layout, high-end hardware facilities, a kind of light source directly from the roof, and then through the top of the display cabinet. The material shines on the cultural relics, the effect is very good and more conducive to the protection of cultural relics, I saw it for the first time The tour route is very clear, there is a rubbing exhibition on the first floor, which is relatively small, and the key cultural relics of the museum are directly introduced through the exhibition board at the atrium, clearly telling what are the first-level cultural relics, what are the second-level, and what are the third-level, and attached pictures The main exhibition halls are all on the second floor, divided into two halls and seven units, from ancient times to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the video commentary is very in place Let's talk about the personal feeling that is more interesting First of all, we need to clarify the geographical location of Longnan, located at the junction of Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu, geographically south of the Qinling Mountains, and hydrologically belongs to the Yangtze River system. This is a thorough southern city and the only southern city in Gansu I arrived in Longnan in mid-December, when there was a large-scale cooling in the northern region, the lowest temperature in Lanzhou was already minus fifteen degrees, and here it was only minus two or three degrees The famous historical event of the Empty City Plan took place here☞The "West City" of Changdao, Xihe County, Longnan City. And Zhuge Liang's well-known six outings of Qishan, the history book records only two times, the saying of "six outings of Qishan" only appears in the novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" This land also appeared a very tenacious regime during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties☞Chouchi Country, at its peak, it occupied Hanzhong, Shaanxi and the border of Sichuan, and resisted more than 20 local regimes in the Central Plains for more than 380 years And in the Song Dynasty, the Longnan area was one of the main battlefields where the Song and Jin countries fought. The great victory of the Xianren Pass, where the war god Wu Jie became a god, took place here. Since then, not only did Jin Wuzhu "never dare to peep into the land of Shu" for the rest of his life, but also recovered most of the land in Shaanxi in one fell swoop, established the rule of the Southern Song Dynasty over the land of Shu, and also cut off the idea of the Jin people entering Sichuan from Shaanxi I told a lot of stories, as for the treasures of the town hall, they are the three pieces in Figures 1-5. Personally, I think that the big treasure sword of the willow leaf is the most handsome, with smooth and simple lines, finely carved at the handle of the sword, and very well preserved As for the others, wait for you to discover it yourself, it's a museum worth seeing, don't miss it if you pass by
