The true situation of the Northwest Grand Loop Line from January to March! Qinghai Gansu Tourism

In winter, I will tell you about the road conditions and what car to choose when traveling along the Qinghai-Gansu Grand Loop. 1. Snow is not common, and most of the days are sunny; 2. The overall road conditions are good, and snow on the road is not common. Under normal circumstances, a two-wheel drive family SUV or commercial vehicle can be used; 3. Self-driving friends should pay attention to the snowy conditions before departure, and it is best to prepare a snow chain; 4. In winter, the sun rises late here, so please try to arrange your trip more flexibly and leave enough time on the road; 5. In winter, the opening conditions of scenic spots, road conditions, restaurants along the way, etc. are different from those in the peak season, so it is more worry-free to charter a car or a small group; Come to Qinghai and Gansu during off-season. The current situation: 1. You can take photos, ride camels and visit Mogao Grottoes at will. You don’t need to wait in line. You can spend all your time there for sightseeing. 2. Some scenic spots do not require tickets, while others are half-price, which is quite cheap (the Chaka Salt Lake and Yadan Mingsha Mountain are both free of charge); 3. The hotel costs over 100 yuan a night, which is a bit too much of a surprise; 4. It’s a bit cold, but not too cold. I can accept it, to be honest. Temperature and clothing guidelines: 1. The temperature in Qinghai is low in the morning and evening, and it snows from time to time, so a thick winter coat is a must; 2. Warm and stylish hats, sunglasses, and scarves are available; 3. In short, just wear thick winter clothes throughout the trip and you will be fine~ Qinghai-Gansu 7-Day Loop: D1Xining_Riyue Mountain_Qinghai Lake_Chaka Town D2 Chaka Salt Lake_Emerald Lake_Dachaidan D3U type 315 national highway_Shuishang Yadan_Nanbaxian_Dachaidan D4 Heidu Mountain_Oil Town_Silk Road Heritage City_Dunhuang D5 Mogao Grottoes_ Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Moon Lake D6 Guazhou Son of the Earth_Jiayuguan__Colorful Danxia D7 Biandukou_227 National Highway_Qilian Snow Mountain_Xining Qinghai-Gansu 6-day compact loop: D1 Xining_Qinghai Lake_Chaka Salt Lake_Delingha D2 Internet celebrity 315 National Highway_Water Yadan_Qinghai Nanbaxian Yadan_Dachaidan D3 Qinghai Highway 66_Oil Town_Yangguan_Dunhuang D4 Mogao Grottoes_Mingsha Mountain Crescent Moon Lake D5 Dunhuang_Jiayuguan Great Wall__Colorful Danxia D6 Biandukou_Qilian Grassland_Viewing Snow Mountain from a Distance_Xining Regarding the cost, taking the six-day loop as an example, if you hire a car: the fare is about 1.2k per person; the hotel room is only more than 100 yuan per night; the ticket is about 300 yuan (many tickets are free), and the meal per person is about 100 yuan per day. About 60-80; overall: about 1700 per person, including tickets That is more than 2,000 (excluding lunch and dinner), which is a very reasonable price. Friends must avoid comparison and don’t be ripped off. This price is enough. Interested friends can click the link below the video to consult customer service
