ZeusghostKnowing Biandukou also has to talk about the documentary "Hexi Corridor" seen during the epidemic at home. So this summer's Ganqing Ring Road itinerary, I came to punch in. On the afternoon of July 16, 2023, after visiting the Leitai Han Tomb Scenic Area, follow Gaode navigation, drive more than 220 kilometers, more than 3 hours, pass G30, S315, Huochengzhen, and arrive at Biandukou. From the Fengcheng toll station, Lianhuo Expressway, the basic roads are provincial roads, county roads, and township roads. Although some roads are in poor road conditions, and I am a car, it is also a deep experience of the northwest countryside scenery, passing by a village when I also encounter sheep "blocking the road", it is quite novel. It was nearly 18:00 when I arrived at the flat mouth, but fortunately, it was dark in the northwest, and there was still time. I went to see rapeseed flowers. The children sat on grass and rode horses. The temperature here is very low, in mid-July summer, the first thing after getting off the bus is to turn out the autumn clothes from the trunk to wear, summer clothes can not stand the "cool" here. Before coming, I booked a homestay called Minle County Biandukou International Self-Driving Camp on Trip.com. In the scenic area, it is very convenient to stay after playing. Staying at this homestay, you can contact the boss for 0 yuan to buy tickets. The scenery of Biandukou is mainly to see rapeseed flowers. It is not rare for our tourists from the east. The rapeseed flowers in Huangshan and Wuyuan are also beautiful. The rapeseed flowers in Biandukou are planted on the hillside, and chatted with the villagers who put horses. The plant here is a low rapeseed. Looking around, the near is golden rapeseed, the flowers are filled; in the distance is green and green, the wind is a wave of green waves; in the distance is the bright outline, dark green Qilian Mountain. Yes, Qilian Mountain is green here, not the dry and bald earth color on both sides of Lianhuo Expressway, which is also one of the beauty of the flat mouth. The scenery of flat mouth is suitable for a long view, grand, magnificent, blue sky and white clouds, distant mountains, green and golden, which makes people feel comfortable. Speaking of accommodation, the price of the homestay we stayed in was not high, the facilities were average, the wooden house standard room was 198 yuan/night, there was no air conditioning, and the floor heating would be turned on at night, otherwise it would be cold to sleep. The temperature here at night was similar to the end of November in Jianghuai. Our room does not include breakfast, but the boss sent breakfast, very simple, porridge and Hanamaki. Personally, tourists from the eastern region come to the west to play, and can not compare food and accommodation with the eastern region. After all, the environment here is relatively bad. What you come to the west is the rough atmosphere and even the desolate scenery, and experience life in different climates and geographical environments. If you still pursue the conditions and exquisite cuisine of star hotels, there is less fun. The first time I ate fried eggs with sand onion was here. The taste was very unique. This dish was very common in the northwest. We only stayed at the flat mouth for one night, and went to the Qilian Prairie the next day. Because the scenery here is to see rape blossoms, and then with a humanistic feeling, we will make up for the history of countless officials, businessmen and travelers who have passed through this place to enter and exit the Western Region and the sense of time and space intersection this evening. This mountain, this water, has long been integrated with history; today, everyone who comes here is also interpreting new history for future generations!
