A One-Day Treasure Snow Mountain Tour in Lanzhou｜Maya Snow Mountain - Wushaoling

Still wondering where to go this weekend? Choose Tianzhu for a same-day round trip. 1️⃣ Maya Snow Mountain 📍 Navigation location: Tanyao Gou Village (This is a village with few residential households. Drive to the end of the village’s paved road to reach the destination and park nearby❗️Note: Do not navigate directly to Maya Snow Mountain, as the mountain is closed and entry is strictly prohibited. Wrong navigation will result in a wasted trip.) Viewing time: The entire round trip on foot takes about 2 hours. It is recommended to arrive by noon at the latest, as the sunlight provides better lighting for photos. This is the end point, almost at the foot of the snow mountain. Because the ice surface is slightly melting, you cannot go further. ——— 2️⃣ Wushaoling Viewing Platform 📍 Navigation location: Wushaoling (The road condition is very good. There is a parking lot here, and you can reach it by taking the first uphill turn on the left❗️Do not drive past it; the second turn is the entrance to the meteorological bureau.) . Tour duration: The entire round trip up and down the stairs takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes❗️There are two sections with steep stairs, nearly 70 degrees, which require slow climbing. If you feel tired, stop and rest to avoid shortness of breath. This is basically the end point. There is an important sign here marking the convergence of the Loess Plateau, Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and Inner Mongolia Plateau. The viewing platform has a 25×100 telescope that clearly shows the Qilian Snow Mountain opposite. We brought a child over 3 years old, and it was completely possible to reach the viewing platform. The temperature is quite low now, so it is recommended to dress warmly, preferably in bright-colored clothes, and bring scarves and gloves. Babies with sensitive skin must wear masks. Friendly reminder🔔 Set off early in the morning. If visiting these two places one way, it is recommended to go to Wushaoling first, then take a short rest in the car, eat some brought food, and drink some hot water (be sure to bring a thermos), then go to Tanyao Gou Village at the foot of the snow mountain.
