I saw some being persuaded to return last year) ▫️One in and one out system: enter from the east gate → exit from Black Gate, don’t go the wrong way! (Poke me for the roadmap) ▫️Pet-friendly: You can bring your furry friends, but they need to be on a leash (I have personally tested that herders do not mind) ▫️Note on transfer points: You must change to the scenic area bus (free!) for Flower Terrace/Falcon Terrace. The last bus is at 18:00 ▫️Canyon Linkage: You can purchase a canyon ticket (155 yuan) at the cable car station, or park your car at the cable car station parking lot 🚗🚗🚗Kalajun Scenic Area Self-driving tour route Entrance: Self-driving tour Dongmen Service Center Exit: Brak Tourist Service Center Route: Self-driving tour Dongmen Service Center - Wanna Service Center (need to transfer to the scenic sightseeing bus to the Flower Terrace and Falcon Terrace) - Almond Viewing Point - Shenmu Forest Viewing Point - Jiasagan Town Viewing Point - Shenying Tribe Viewing Point - Wusun Xiadu Service Area - Shiquan Service Area - Kalajun Cableway Station Service Area - Bulaq Tourist Service Center 💰【Ticket guide for non-self-driving vehicles, all in one place】💸 East and West Kalajun Prairie: 140/person, the vast grassland is waiting for you to conquer!
