Gansu has its own Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. You'll regret it if you don't come.

🏔An exploration into the unknown—Zhangye's Mount Bars. Stepping onto this sacred land is like walking through the clouds and finding yourself in a fairyland. 🌞 Unveiling Under the Sun 🌤 As the sun rises and the mist gradually dissipates, the true face of Mount Bars slowly reveals itself. It's a world of pure, untouched beauty, with towering peaks piercing the sky. Every corner is a masterpiece of nature, a breathtaking sight. Tickets: Tickets: CNY 128/person; sightseeing bus: CNY 70/person Adult ticket: CNY 198/person Child ticket: CNY 70/person (children aged 3–6) Half-price ticket: CNY 135/person (half-price tickets are available for minors aged 6–18, seniors aged 60 and above, and full-time undergraduate students and below. No discounts are available for transportation within the scenic area.) Free admission: Free admission is available for people with disability certificates, active military personnel IDs, journalists with press cards issued by the State Administration of Radio, Film, and Television, and children under 1.2m in height. No discounts are available for transportation within the scenic area. Tips: As Mount Bars is located at a high altitude, in principle, seniors aged 70 and above are not permitted to visit. Visitors with high blood pressure, heart disease, asthma, or other cardiopulmonary or cerebrovascular diseases are also not permitted. Before heading to Mount Bars, you need to be fully prepared. First, you need to understand the local weather conditions and road conditions to choose the best time to travel. Due to the high altitude and harsh climate of Mount Bars, it is recommended to visit during the summer. The scenic area opens at 8:30 am and closes at 4:30 pm. It may close earlier depending on the daily visitor capacity or weather conditions on the mountain, so please arrive before noon. The viewing area is located at an altitude of over 4,000m, while the visitor center is at 2,600m. After transferring to the scenic area's shuttle bus, you'll have a 20 km ride, ascending from 2,600m to 4,000m, which takes 40–50 mins. Clothing: Winter and spring: Down jackets, windbreakers, warm gloves, sunglasses, snow gaiters, hiking boots, and cotton hats (be sure to dress warmly). Summer: Sun-protective clothing, single-layer windbreakers and pants, sunglasses, hats, and hiking boots. Accommodation: If you stay in Zhangye, it's a 2 hr drive. We stayed in Yugur County, which is a 1 hr drive. There's a villa-style homestay at the foot of the snow mountain, a few hundred meters from the visitor center, which looks nice. You can consider staying there if you plan to visit multiple times or want convenience. It's around CNY 600–700 per night during the off-season. Please be sure to pay attention to safety!⚠️
