If you don't want to be in crowded places during the National Day, come to Gannan! Few people, beautiful scenery, and lots of fun!

The footsteps of autumn have quietly arrived, and the autumn colors of Gannan will amaze you. The prairie and snow-capped mountains embrace each other, the colorful forests dot the canyons and slopes, and the golden wheat waves roll beside the Zha Ga Na village. During the National Day, if you want to avoid the crowd and choose a beautiful scenery, Gannan is undoubtedly the best choice. During this National Day holiday, there are fewer people in Gannan and the prices are more favorable. You can explore according to this carefully prepared 7-day tour itinerary. Starting from the free activities in Lanzhou, to the Liujiaxia Reservoir, the Road of Rock, Zha Ga Na, Xiao Du Ku, Flower Lake, the First Bay of the Yellow River, Tangke, Lianbao Yeze, Ge Mo Temple, Jiu Zhi, A Wan Cang Wetland, Langmu Temple, Sangke Prairie, and then to Xiahe, Labrang Monastery, Ganjia Secret Realm and Lanzhou. If you come here for the first time, just follow this route; if you are not familiar with the route or worry about traveling with your family, you can choose to join a group or customize a tour, and the driver can help take pictures, which is more cost-effective than playing by yourself! In terms of accommodation, the accommodation conditions in the Tibetan area of Gannan are generally not as good as those in first- and second-tier cities. If you are not satisfied with the local toothbrush, toothpaste, and towel, it is recommended to bring your own.
