Private Day Tour to Bingling Temple Caves from Lanzhou

At 8:00 am, you will be picked up from your centrally located Lanzhou hotel and driven approximately two hours to Linxia. From there, you'll board a speed boat to cross the Liujiaxia Reservoir on the Yellow River, offering a scenic ride to the remarkable Bingling Temple Grottoes. These ancient grottoes, dating back to the 3rd century, feature an impressive collection of Buddhist statues and vibrant frescoes carved into the cliffs. Nestled beside the stunning Stone Forest of the Yellow River, the site is a unique blend of spiritual heritage and dramatic natural landscape. You will spend around two hours exploring the area before taking the speed boat back.

If time permits, you may also visit a well-known garden in Linxia, celebrated for its exceptional brick carvings. These intricate works depict flowers, birds, and traditional Chinese architecture, showcasing the region’s detailed craftsmanship and artistic culture. After the garden visit, you’ll return by private car to Lanzhou, where your enriching day tour concludes.
