Unlock Gansu's Lesser-Known Secret! The Healing Highland Scenery of Tianzhu Mayaxue Mountain 🏔️ This place has few people and beautiful scenery! Just 1.5 hours from Wuwei, you can reach this seriously underrated treasure spot, where snow-capped mountains, flower seas, and streams come together in one divine scene~ 📍 Mayaxue Mountain Address: 35 km west of Tianzhu Tibetan Autonomous County, Wuwei City (navigate to "Zhuaxi Xiulong Township") ⏰ Opening Hours: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM 💡 Free admission! Free parking! 💫 Must-Do Experiences 1⃣️ Streams formed by melting snow with horses drinking water—scenes that look just like the movie "Heidi and Grandpa" (we met two super gentle horses grazing by the stream) 2️⃣ Purple wildflowers cover the hillsides from June to August; wearing a light-colored dress is perfect for stunning photos 3️⃣ The 3,680-meter-high viewing platform offers a 360° panoramic view of the Qilian Mountains 4️⃣ The ultra-healing road through Zhuaxi Xiulong Grassland, straight to the snow mountain, is perfect for epic road shots 📌 Practical Tips 👉 Arrive before 9 AM; the snow mountains in the morning mist are especially magical 👉 Bring a light down jacket! Highland weather is unpredictable 👉 For self-driving, an SUV is recommended; the last 5 km is a gravel road 👉 Bring your own snacks; there are no restaurants inside the scenic area (but the yak meat buns at the Tibetan restaurant in town are amazing!) Hiking enthusiasts must challenge the Tianchi route, a 4-hour round trip where you can see the spectacular reflection of the snow mountain in the crystal-clear lake!
