Gannan tourist attractions-recommended tourist routes

Every year, many tourists go to go on road trip, especially the route of Gannan, and there are many tourists. If you want to visit road trip this summer, you can refer to the following scenic spots and routes and have fun.

At present, Tibetan areas in a broad sense in China include Tibet and Gannan, Gansu & Tianzhu, Yunnan Diqing, Sichuan Aba&etc. Qinghai Haibei-Ganzi; Hainan &; Yushu, Guoluo, Huangnan, Haixi, etc. There are many places with low altitude and charming scenery in the whole Tibetan area.

According to this standard, the place where I want to come to Amway today is Gannan.

Gannan refers to the "Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture" in the southwest of Gansu Province, which is adjacent to Qinghai and Sichuan.

The terrain here is mainly wide grasslands, with an average elevation of about 3000 meters. Strictly speaking, it is not a plateau landform, and most people will not be arrogant all the time.

Moreover, although Gannan is located in the northeast of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, it belongs to the core area of Amdo Tibetan area in culture, and its religious history is quite fascinating.

Gannan is not famous. Many people like to add a "little Tibet" in front of her when promoting her, but I believe that people who have been there will never think that this is just a "flat replacement" for Tibet.

Optimal travel time

It is too difficult for me to tell the exact best travel time in Gannan.

As a person who likes to join in the fun, especially in Gannan, a place with devout faith, I don't want to miss any festivals and fairs.

A more suitable place for tourists to attend is the Maolan Mufa Festival from the first night of the first month to the seventeenth day of the first month, which is also the biggest festival of Tibetan Buddhism in Gannan area in a year. You can sunbathe, exhibit treasures, debate scriptures, dance French dances, hold butter sculpture lanterns and turn incense. It is no exaggeration to say that the degree of excitement is empty.

The scale is not as big as that of the first month, but the "Ruza Dafa Conference" in July is also the highlight of summer. The lunar calendar begins on June 29th and ends on July15th. Religious debates and the square performance of "Milla Advocacy Society" should not be missed.

There is also the Xianglong Festival, which is a bit like Nadam in Mongolia, and the Shambhala Tourism and Art Festival, which is aimed at tourists. These two festivals are held irregularly during the lush grassland, and there are many activities, so you can pay attention to them in advance.

Apart from festivals, the most comfortable climate in southern Jiangxi is from June to August every year.

Gannan's landform is dominated by grasslands. Everything is green during this time, and the average temperature is 10-20℃, not to mention summer vacation, even it is quite cold in the morning and evening.

From September to June, the temperature turned cool and the grassland became autumn scenery. Although this time is not the peak season, I like the grassland scenery in autumn to be as colorful as oil painting.

Accommodation choice

There are several places where the accommodation on the small ring line in Gannan is relatively concentrated, namely Xiahe, langmusi, Diebu and Hezuo.

Gannan brand hotels are scarce, most of them are run by private bosses, and the OTA platform is not so popular, so many hotels can't book online. Apart from the places mentioned above, it will be more difficult to decide whether to stay in other places.

The average accommodation level in Gannan is not too high, but there are very top choices.

In 20 15, Tourism+Leisure selected "43 Most Beautiful Hotels in the World", and China was one of the three finalists.

The camp is located on the Sankoh grassland, not far from Labrang Temple. Only five months a year (May -65438+ 10). It will be closed before the arrival of winter, allowing the grassland to return to nature.

Notting feels a bit like a wild luxury hotel in Africa. This extreme wild environment and star hotel experience is still rare in China.

However, the wooden tent in Notting * * is only 1 1, which is highly recommended if it can be booked.

Itinerary If you have done the raiders of Northwest China or Xinjiang in Tibet before, you will find it much less difficult to travel through Gannan, which is very suitable for people who have no experience in Tibet but yearn for Tibetan cultural scenery.

Geographically, Gannan is sandwiched between Gansu, Qinghai and Sichuan provinces. Correspondingly, there are roughly three entry directions.

Starting from Xining or Lanzhou (recently), the starting point is Xiahe; Entering from Chengdu (farthest) or western Sichuan, the first stop is langmusi. No matter where the starting point is, we will eventually take the Gannan small ring road.

The most common way is to rent/charter a car after flying to Lanzhou. But if you want to work harder, Xiahe also has an airport, and Chengdu, Xi, Yinchuan, Lhasa, Tianjin and other cities have direct flights.

Gannan small ring road can walk the whole journey in about 3-4 days, which is very friendly for office workers who have less things and more things during the holidays.

Take Lanzhou as an example:

Day 1: Lanzhou → Labrang Temple → langmusi.

The next day: langmusi → Gahai → Zhagana.

Day 3: Zhagana → Lanzhou

Similarly, taking advantage of the geographical location, the small ring road in Gannan has more room for adjustment.

If your holiday time is long enough, you can seamlessly connect the western Sichuan Ring Road in the southwest with the Great Northwest Ring Road in the north after completing the Gannan Small Ring Road. The line can be long or short, which is very flexible.

Moreover, the overall road conditions in Gannan are better than those in Tibet, and it is also very suitable for newcomers to go to road trip.

In terms of area, Gannan is only 1/2 in Aba Prefecture and 1/4 in Ganzi Prefecture next door, but Gannan is really wonderful!

Mayu Ando, where Gannan is located, is the most important pastoral area in Tibet. At the same time, Gannan, represented by Labrang Temple, is also the core area of Amdo ethnic religious culture, which has a wide and far-reaching external influence.

The official propaganda "Nine Colors Gannan" also means this.

Red Temple Monks, Orange Coral Beads, Yellow Tower Economy;

Green grassland forest, blue Aninian green, blue sky lake;

Purple Tibetan Bodhi Black Yak Bai Xueshan Baiyun? Gannan does have beautiful capital as easy as blowing off dust.

What can you play on the small ring line in Gannan, starting from Xiahe, counterclockwise.

Route: Xiahe → langmusi → Maqu → Zoige → Diebu → Cooperation.

J. Law

Xiahe is the first stop for many people to travel to Gannan.

There are 12 1 Tibetan Buddhist temples in Gannan. The most famous, highest-ranking and most worth seeing Labrang Temple is in Xiahe.

The Labrang Temple also appeared in the movie world without thieves.

Xiahe, together with Lhasa in Tibet and Dege in Sichuan, has become the "three centers of ancient culture in Tibetan areas" and is also attributed to Labrang Temple.

Labrang Monastery is one of the six major monasteries of Gelug Sect of Tibetan Buddhism, and it is also the most intact Tibetan Buddhist monastery in the world.

There are six colleges with different majors in Labrang Temple, and it takes hard work to pass the exam, which is as difficult as our college entrance examination.

Even without faith, Labrang Temple is well worth visiting.

The buildings in the temple are magnificent, with countless precious Buddha statues, sculptures, murals, utensils and Tibetan scriptures.

There is also the longest corridor around the temple in the world, and the *** 1700+ warp-turning bucket, all of which need about1.5h.

Leaving Labrang Temple and driving down, the surrounding scenery began to change. About half an hour's drive, Sankoh grassland arrived.

Mulberry grassland in summer is a place where we can embrace the wind, and the aforementioned Xianglong Festival is also an important festival for mulberries.

The scenery of Hulunbeier grassland is endless prairie, and the low-lying place in the middle of Moraceae is grassland, surrounded by mountains.

There are yurts on the grassland, but the accommodation conditions are average, so it is not recommended to live in Moraceae.

Langmusi

Langmusi is not a temple, but a small town.

There is a stream less than two meters wide in the middle of the town, but the locals call it "Bailong River". The north of Bailong River belongs to Luqu, Gansu, and the south belongs to Zoige, Sichuan.

Geerdi Temple in Sichuan and Wusaichi Temple in Dacanglang, Gansu across the river belong to langmusi in a broad sense.

The whole of langmusi is a perfect combination of temples and houses, with golden roofs and white pagodas, and devout believers everywhere.

Lamas in langmusi are more like my neighbors than solemn temples. They went shopping to buy snacks, and the mystery of religion disappeared in langmusi.

Langmusi is the kind of town where you can feel calm. It's primitive and simple, but it's a town after all, so it's very suitable as a supply station on the ring road, and there will be more choices of hotels and accommodation.

Maqu

I think the first half of the small ring road in Gannan can be said to be the essence of religion and humanity. After entering Maqu, the natural scenery began to stand out.

The most important scenery in Maqu is the Awancang Wetland. Chinese national geography named it "the most beautiful grassland wetland in China", but she was the first.

There are three rivers, Gongqu, Selqu and Daojiqu, where the Yellow River meets. Because the terrain is relatively flat, many water systems have been formed. Wetlands and lakes coexist, snow-capped mountains and the Yellow River set each other off, and the whole scenery is very Shambhala.

Maqu means "Yellow River" in Tibetan. In Maqu, there is a favorite song among the "Nine Songs and Eighteen Bends" of the Yellow River.

The Yellow River flows from Golog, Qinghai into Maqu, Gannan, bypassing five bends 180, and then flows into Qinghai. This is the first bend of the Yellow River.

Even on the observation deck, overlooking the panoramic view is still a little reluctant. It is best to take an aerial photograph by small plane.

Zoige, one of the three major wetlands in China, is found not only in ruoergai county, Sichuan, but also in Qinghai, Sichuan and Gansu provinces. A small piece of Gansu, just in Maqu.

Diebu

Zhaga 'na, which means "stone box" in Tibetan, is also the climax of the small ring line in Gannan.

American explorer Locke spoke highly of this: "I have never seen such a beautiful scenery in my life." If the author of Genesis saw the beauty of the overlapping parts, he would put the birthplace of Adam and Eve here. "

She consists of four small Tibetan villages hidden in a pile of high mountains, which are Dongwa Village (the largest), Yeri Village (terraced flower sea), Dari Village (the most beautiful sunrise) and Bade Village (the highest altitude).

The way in and out of Zhagana is still a bit difficult, which leads to the original ecological scenery and lifestyle here.

In addition, the environment surrounded by Zhaga Snow Mountain Canyon is as beautiful as the secret realm where people and gods live together.

For outdoor lovers, Zhaga is a must-see paradise.

There are 17 canyons, peaks, canyons, rivers, virgin forests and Quaternary glacial landforms, and every route is absolutely beautiful.

The way of life of the indigenous people in the village is also very traditional. At sunrise and sunset, there is a ceremony to turn mulberry into stupa every day.

Although there is accommodation in Zhaga, the conditions are average, and there will be more choices in Diebu County. But the starry sky at night and the sunny Jinshan in the morning are also really beautiful.

cooperate

The ending cooperation is the capital of Gannan Prefecture, and the main attraction is the Phantom Eight Buddha Pavilion. There are two Milezhbafo Pagodas in the whole Tibetan area, and this is the only high-level famous temple dedicated to Tibetan Buddhist masters.

The exterior of the pavilion is all cyan quartzite, without a wood; The interior of the Buddha Pavilion is all-wood structure, and there are no stones. There is a saying that there is no wood outside and no stone inside.

Pavo Pavilion in Mirage has 9 floors, each of which represents a different era and theme. Remember to walk clockwise when you visit. Although you can't take pictures, just record the exquisite murals and decorations in the museum with your eyes.

After the cooperation, you can drive back to Lanzhou in one breath, 3 hours by car and take the expressway.

Discover, an American travel magazine, rated Gannan as an outdoor paradise that "makes life feel free", which I deeply agree with.

Although there are no towering snow-capped mountains and Haizi in Tibet, the scenery is slightly inferior, but Gannan has hidden villages, pure beliefs and irreplaceable atmosphere of Gannan itself.

Holidays are tense, high school is serious, or I want to see different scenery. You may wish to consider her on your next trip.
