Address: Yongjing county, Linxia Hui autonomous prefecture, Gansu province
Nestled in the Yellow River Valley of Yongjing county, Linxia Hui autonomous prefecture, Gansu province, the Liujiaxia Tourist Resort covers an area of 11.56 square kilometers. Situated at an average altitude of 1,500 meters, it enjoys a temperate climate with four distinct seasons, and is especially noted for its cool summers, earning it the nickname "Back Garden of Lanzhou" (Liujiaxia is only 75 kilometers away from Lanzhou, capital of Gansu province). Therefore, it is favorable for year-round tourism, particularly for summer retreats and health demands. Its travel season lasts up to eight months.
The Liujiaxia Tourist Resort boasts high-quality vacation resources such as the Danxia landforms along the Yellow River, featuring "blue Yellow River and Danxia cliffs" (Because the Yellow River remains clear in the Liujiaxia section, as it has not yet entered the Loess Plateau, which turns the water yellow.), the Liujiiaxia Dinosaur National Geopark, which holds six world records, the Taiji Island Wetland, known as the "Oasis beyond the Great Wall", the romantic Yellow River flower embankment with over 30 species of flowers, and the serene and tranquil Zaoshe countryside.
Situated at the intersection of the "Silk Road" and "Yellow River Civilization", the resort area is rich in diverse cultures. Its deep cultural heritage is represented by the folk culture of Hua'er songs and Nuo dance, paleontological culture exemplified by dinosaur footprints, and craftsmanship showcased by nationally recognized intangible cultural heritages such as Wang's iron forging techniques and ancient building restoration skills.
The Liujiaxia Tourist Resort, centered around the theme of the "Yellow River", has developed three core product systems: "Yellow River Health and Wellness Vacation", "Yellow River Geographic Exploration", and "Yellow River Folk Culture Experience". It has evolved into a comprehensive tourism and vacation destination, integrating functions such as accommodation and dining, leisure and entertainment, health and wellness activities, cultural experiences, family and educational trips, and meetings and team-building activities.
