Just a few snaps from Zhangye and Lanzhou to finish off a fantastic holiday. * * * #china #gansu #zhangye #lanzhou #nightlife #river #foodstreet #bridge #snack #snacks #lights #view #views

Second day in Zhangye was spent at 马蹄寺. Funnily enough, when we got there, and saw the first of a string of temples, we thought that we had already seen the temple, but was pleasantly surprised to realise that we were being foolish once the actual main attraction was reached. Obviously we climbed to the top, which is/was a huge achievement for someone (me) who struggles to use glass lifts from a fear of heights! * * * #china #zhangye #matisi #holiday #coupletravel #asia #travel #tourist #travelphotography #naturephotography #temple #temples #picturesque #buddhism #buddha #gansu #westernchina #mountains #mountain #choosemountains #vacation

Even though it was our ‘plan b’ to Yunnan, Gansu has shown that it deserves a plan A+ position in any travel plan. What an amazing place, and even more so after the visit to the Danxia Geological Park to see the Rainbow Mountains. * * * #asia #china #mountains #picturesque #coupletravel #rainbow🌈 #rainbowmountain #dancianationalpark #danciageologicalpark #colour #amazing #travel #travelphotography #naturephotography #breathtaking #breathtakingviews #gansu #onceinalifetime

Once in Gansu, without wasting any time, it was a coach trip to Liujiaxia, for a speedboat ride to Bingling temple and back, and then another coach to Xiahe, via Linxia. What awaited was a couple of days at Labrang Monastery, where Buddhist monks have studied for many years. We even got a tour from a monk. What an experience! * * * #buddhism #buddhist #monk #coupletravel #holiday #religion #buddha #grotto #binglingsi #lambrangmonastery #monastery #gansu #china #china🇨🇳 #naturephotography #vacation #liujiaxia #xiahe #linxia
