Gansu Travel | Taking the high-speed train to Wuwei, the 'Flying Horse Treading on a Swallow' started its journey to the world from here

Wuwei is a must-visit for the Leitai Han Tombs, the birthplace of the 'Flying Horse Treading on a Swallow'. hi, I am Guo Sulan The Lan-Zhang high-speed train section to Wuwei is set to open in June, and it takes less than an hour to get there by high-speed train, which is incredibly convenient. It's possible to travel from Lanzhou to Wuwei and back in one day, and this is an opportunity not to be missed. Leitai is located in the Liangzhou District of Wuwei, Gansu. It is an earthen platform that is 8.5 meters high, 108 meters long from north to south, and 60 meters wide from east to west. On top of Leitai is the 'Leitai Temple', which was originally built during the Ming Dynasty. Below it is the 'Leitai Han Tombs' from the late Eastern Han Dynasty, where more than 200 precious cultural relics were unearthed, including 99 exquisitely cast bronze chariot and horse figurines. The most outstanding artifact is a bronze galloping horse, later named 'Flying Horse Treading on a Swallow' by Guo Moruo, who accompanied foreign leaders to visit the Gansu Provincial Museum. The bronze galloping horse 'Flying Horse Treading on a Swallow' has been designated as the 'Symbol of China Tourism' by the National Tourism Administration, and it is a source of pride for the people of Wuwei and Gansu. Additionally, you can also visit the Han and Tang Dynasties' Heavenly Horse City, watch the musical drama 'Heavenly Horse's Journey' based on the figure Huo Qubing, and be sure to try the Wuwei pot cuisine.
