If you want to start a dreamy winter journey, don’t miss this guide~ -- 🌟Route Overview: D1: Lanzhou (Private transfer from airport/station✈️, free activities upon arrival in the city, hunt for authentic Northwest cuisine🍜) Arrive in Lanzhou, experience Northwest charm, and freely explore the city’s delicious food. D2: Labrang Monastery — Sangke Grassland Explore the sacred site of Tibetan Buddhism, gallop across the vast grasslands, and feel the Tibetan cultural vibe🌿.

D6: Lanzhou (End of trip, cherish travel memories, look forward to the next reunion👋) Return to Lanzhou, conclude a wonderful journey, and head home full of memories. -- Notes: ✈️ For airport transport, it’s recommended to choose Lanzhou Zhongchuan Airport, then transfer by bus/private car to Gannan for convenience🚌; respect local beliefs in Tibetan areas, do not touch Buddha statues with your hands or turn prayer wheels clockwise inside temples🙏; the plateau has large temperature differences between day and night, prepare a windbreaker + warm layers to ensure both great photos and good health🧥; yak jerky, butter tea, and Tibetan bread are must-tries! But those with sensitive stomachs should drink less butter tea to avoid altitude sickness🍵; Tibetan people are warm and hospitable, smile before taking photos to double the joy📸! -- 🎉 The beautiful scenery of Gannan and the thoughtful private tours will definitely make your trip worthwhile. Pack your bags and set off now!🚀
