Silk Route Day 5: Highlight of Lanzhou: Bingling Grottoe
The bus station is very near the Love Youth hostel within a walking distance. It is a local bus to a town called Liujiaxia which we alight before we reach the town. The distance is around 1.5 hours. We drop off at the roadside entrance to the attraction and it is advisable to let the bus driver know that you need to go Bingling and inform when reach.
All tourist need to take a boat (12pax) to Bingling. The journey around 45 minutes where we reach Bingling at 11:45am and the boat will depart back to the entrance at 1pm and we just had an hour to visit the grottoes. Since we don’t have much time and we purchase the minimum ticket RMB50 to see the basic Big Buddha only. The boat depart and we reach back the entrance at around 1:45pm, then we continue with the lunch at a cafĂ© near the entrance for Lanzhou beef La mien.
