小花地丁:“The scenery of Zhagana is so stunning. For 80 yuan, you can visit several scenic spots at the same time. However, there are too many people coming here, and there is a bit of garbage littering. We still need to increase the cleaning efforts and promote the garbage to be taken down the mountain.”
大眼世界:“Where is the best place to go in summer? I recommend a place to you, which is Zhagana, located in the liver and gallbladder. The summer here is very cool, and if it rains, there will be clouds and fog. However, you need to pay attention to one thing when traveling to Zhagana, that is, many children and the elderly will have high altitude reactions when they come here.”
jnwalkman36:“On the occasion of the 47th anniversary of the death of the great man Mao Zedong, we came to the Red Army Long March Memorial Site at Lazikou to remember the revolutionary martyrs and inherit the red spirit. The victory of the Lazikou battle continued the Red Army's 25,000-mile Long March and was an important gateway to the victory of the Red Army's Long March and even the Chinese revolution.”
想走遍中国的窝:“Navigate to the "Dari Observation Deck" and take a 20-minute winding mountain road from Dongwa Village to the best viewing point, where you can overlook the entire Zhagana area, as well as see the morning mist and smoke, which is very beautiful.”
滇国剑客:“This kind of scenery is called Fairy Lake. Because it is located in the northwest region, it has its own characteristics. Coupled with the natural effect, it makes many tourists have many associations after seeing it.”
U35***87:“Dongwa Village is located above the tourist center of Zhagana Scenic Area. You can walk or drive into the village from the tourist center. The village is convenient for food and accommodation. The village is where Tibetans live. The village is surrounded by mountains, and you can easily visit various scenic spots in Zhagana.”

myang:“The Zhagana Stone Gate Observation Deck is the best place to unlock the secrets of the "Stone City". Standing here, you can see the true face of the mountains - the rock walls on both sides are like knives and axes, and a pass is cut between the sky and the earth. The snow-capped peaks of Guanggaishan Mountain are lined up in the distance with white crowns.
Before the morning mist dissipates, clouds flow in from the stone gate, and wooden buildings and barley fields become floating islands; at noon, the sun shines directly, the rock walls are bronze, and the prayer flags roll out red, yellow and green waves in the wind.
The most moving is dusk, when the setting sun dyes the stone gate golden red, the shadows of the mountains are stretched out, and the Tibetans drive yaks through the pass, their figures flickering in the light and shadow, like silhouettes from ancient times. At this glance, you will understand what "God's Garden of Eden" is.”
ipis2323:“This is the most representative light hiking route in Zhagana!!!
There is no sign at the entrance of the scenic spot. Go down at the top of a big bend and there is a parking lot next to it.
Don't listen to the unprofessional explanations of some online guides. This gully is a through loop. Once you enter, you can choose between the left and right directions. There is nothing to worry about. You can go either way. There are no forks in the road. Just walk boldly along the mountain road.
It takes a total of 5.5 kilometers to walk around. The cumulative elevation increase is about 400 meters. The highest point is 3,350 meters above sea level. The scenery is very spectacular. The altitude back pressure is not great. It is much easier than the Yubeng Shen Waterfall Line.
If you can't walk the whole way, it is recommended to go to the left. There is a plank road with a normal slope. You can turn back after walking 2 kilometers at the canyon waterfall. If you continue to move forward, please pay attention to the pair of mountains on the right side of Figure 2. The highest point of the wooden plank road is at the foot of the left peak.
If you go to the right, you will start to climb the mountain, which is slightly steep. The difficulty is about the same as the last kilometer of the Yubeng Waterfall Line. If you want to see the magnificent stone mountain, you can choose to go to the right. Note that there is a small cement platform with a wooden railing before reaching the top. Just step over it and you can walk.”

展眉解颐:“The people are very friendly and enthusiastic. They will help guests plan their trips. Yesterday, someone's car fell into a ditch and no one helped. It was the store here that helped. The butter tea is very fragrant, the milk fermented glutinous rice cake, green onion egg and Tibetan cake are delicious, the mutton is a bit hard, and the tofu soup is average”
非你不渴:“The main reason for coming to Halal Food is that I want to eat mutton, but one of my colleagues doesn't eat mutton. I really didn't do enough homework, so I bought him a loaf of bread. You need to know more when you treat someone to a meal.”

如果你也爱旅游:“"The secret paradise of Gannan hides the superb yak beef hotpot‼️"
In Diebu Zhagana, surrounded by snow-capped mountains, I found this magical restaurant! Remu clear soup yak beef hotpot can be called the ceiling of the Tibetan food world (serious face)
📍Diebu Zhagana Remu Boutique Inn·Remu Clear Soup Yak Beef Hotpot Restaurant
The location is hidden in the Zhagana scenic area, with large floor-to-ceiling windows facing the snow-capped mountains🏔️
The main feature is freshly cut yak beef hotpot, and the meat is as soft as clouds!
The secret dipping sauce uses more than a dozen plateau spices🌿
The upstairs is a homestay. It's amazing to lie down and watch the stars after eating⏰11:00-21:00
Three reasons for beef lovers:
1️⃣The freshly slaughtered yaks arrive at the store in the early morning, and the meat slices are beautifully rouge red
2️⃣The soup base is boiled with yak bones for 8 hours, so fresh that it can be used as a drink
3️⃣The side dishes are very Tibetan! Tsampa meatballs + Tibetan fragrant pork are a perfect match
The four of us ordered a 388 yuan set meal
The yak meat piled up into a small mountain and could not be eaten at all...
The plateau potatoes absorbed the broth and were more fragrant than the meat!
The Tibetan lady boss will teach you how to make the hotpot the most tender
Remember to order her homemade barley wine🍶
Watching the sunrise over the Golden Mountain while being slightly tipsy is so healing😭
Tips: Sit by the window in the afternoon when the light is good
You can take photos of the snow mountain hotpot while eating📸

水漫三楼:“Diebu County, Gannan Prefecture, outside the Zhagana Scenic Village, a popular restaurant on the roadside at the foot of the mountain, the travel agency enthusiastically recommended it. As usual, the store is full of flags and messages left by various travelers such as outdoor clubs and self-driving groups who have visited. The yak beef is like a clear soup hot pot. The yak beef is very tender, and the side dishes are rich and fresh. The other stir-fried and cold dishes are also good, with a slightly salty taste. The flatbread is an amazing option.”
