🌄Gannan, a spiritual hometown that will last for thousands of years (with treasure route attached)

#Mainland Travel This summer, let the secret land of Gannan become your poetry and distant place! 📍Located in the northwest corner of China, Gannan is like a lost pearl, inlaid on the edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in southwestern Gansu. Isolated among the towering mountains, it is a pure land that travelers yearn for and an Eden for self-drivers and hikers. 📸Gannan Treasures: 🌟Ganga Secret Land: That touch of green is like a magic medicine for the soul, all worries disappear when you look at it. The Bajiao City, Baishiya and Baishiya Temple each have their own merits, together they paint a dreamlike picture. 🌟Labrang Monastery: One of the six holy sites of the Gelugpa sect of Tibetan Buddhism, it is renowned as the "World Institute of Tibetan Studies". You need to dress modestly when entering the temple. You may rent a Tibetan robe to blend into the solemnity and peace of this holy place. 🌟Sangke Grassland: Only a 20-minute drive from Labrang Monastery, above 4,000 meters above sea level, the grassland is boundless and the sky is like a canopy, showing the majesty of heaven and earth. 🌟Locke's Road: Tracing back to the early 20th century, Joseph Locke's exploration footprints, from the small town of Zaguluo over the mountains to Zhagana, this road has become a pilgrimage site for self-driving enthusiasts. 🌟Zhagana: Pure and beautiful, primitive and quiet. The four villages of Dongwa, Yeri, Dari and Daiba are located on the mountainside, with wooden plank roads and viewing platforms scattered around, allowing for unobstructed views. 🌲A 4-day trip to Gannan, Tibet: D1: Start from Lanzhou, go to Zhagana via Locke Road, and start the dream prologue D2: From Zhagana to Langmusi, immerse in tranquility and peace D3: Transfer from Langmusi to Gahai Lake, then visit Sangke Grassland, and stay overnight in Xiahe D4: Visit Labrang Monastery in Xiahe, explore the secrets of Gangga, and return to Lanzhou 💬Warm Tips: The climate in the Gannan Plateau is changeable, with significant temperature differences between day and night, which can reach more than ten degrees in summer. Therefore, it is necessary to pack warm clothes such as windbreakers and fleece jackets in your luggage to make the most of this trip to the plateau.
