Things to do in Jinchang

It's a very good attraction. My children like it very much. It's quite far from the city. However, the scenery on the road is a bit like Mars because it's a very desolate road. I read the reviews at the beginning, but in the end I think it's not bad, mainly because my children like it.

The ancient city of Liqian in Yongchang County was a truly amazing experience. The overall architectural style is reminiscent of ancient Rome, and the original inhabitants have distinct physical characteristics that are different from those of other Chinese people. It was a very worthwhile experience!

Jinchuan National Mine Park is located on the north slope of Longshou Mountain Range in the southwest of Jinchuan District, Jinchang City, Gansu Province. It has China's largest man-made tiankeng - the old open-pit mine and Asia's longest main ramp and other attractions.

This is designed by Zhang Li from the School of Architecture of Tsinghua University. In the field of architecture, Zhang Li is undoubtedly one of the authorities. The Jinchang Cultural Center in 2007 is an architectural work that Zhang Li truly presided over and was satisfied with. The southwest interface of the cultural center is decomposed into more than 20 solid walls facing west and glass facing south. The plane is uneven and the facade is not vertical. This design method makes the building produce light and shadows that contrast between reality and illusion, like a forest rising resolutely on the Gobi Desert. Entering the building is like looking for a space to hide in hide-and-seek. "For me personally, the Jinchang Cultural Center project completed my beginner stage. I was 37 years old at the time, but it was the first time that the actual building was very close to my imagination." So, don't you come and see it in person?

It is free but not open to the public. You can climb the mountain opposite to see the view.

The Rainbow Mountains, like a palette of colors on earth, are a breathtaking masterpiece of nature, with their interwoven layers shimmering with light and color. The changing hues under the light of dawn and dusk reveal a gentle beauty amidst the grandeur. This trip was truly worthwhile and I'd love to come back again.
