Gannan tourist attractions-recommended tourist routes

Many tourists go to go on road trip every year, especially the Gannan route, and there are many tourists. If you want to go to go on road trip this summer, you can refer to the following scenic spots and routes and have a good time.

Travel tips

At present, Tibetan areas in a broad sense in China include Tibet, Tianzhu in Gannan, Gansu, Diqing in Yunnan, Aba Ganzi in Sichuan, Haibei in Qinghai, Golog in Yushu, Hainan, and Haixi in Huangnan. The whole Tibetan area is low in altitude, and there are many places with charming scenery.

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 rebel all the way.

Moreover, although Gannan is already on the northeast edge of the 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 put "Little Tibet" in front when promoting her, but I believe that people who have been there will never think that this place is just a "flat substitute" 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 like me, especially in Gannan, a place with devout faith, I don't want to miss festivals and fairs.

One that is more suitable for tourists is the "Mao Mu Fa Hui" from the night of the first day of the first month to the seventeenth day of the first month every year. It is also the biggest festival of Tibetan Buddhism in Gannan. It is no exaggeration to say, basking in Buddha, taking photos of treasures, debating classics, dancing French dance, holding butter sculpture lantern festival and changing incense.

The scale is smaller than that in June 5438+ 10, but the "Ruzha Dafa Meeting" in July is also the highlight of summer. The lunar calendar begins on June 29th and ends on July 15. Religious debates and the square performance of "Milla advocates a society ruled by law" should not be missed.

There is also Shambhala Festival, which is a bit like Nadam Festival in Mongolia, and it is also a Shambhala Tourism Art Festival for tourists. These two festivals are held irregularly on lush grasslands, and there are many activities, so you can pay attention to them in advance.

Apart from festivals, the most comfortable time in Gannan is from June to August every year.

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

/kloc-from September to June in 0/0, the temperature turned cold and the grassland became autumn scenery. Although this time is not the peak season, I prefer the grassland scenery in autumn. The rich feeling is like an oil painting.

Accommodation choice

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

Gannan lacks brand hotels, most of which are operated by private owners, and the OTA platform is not so popular, so many hotels cannot book online. It will be difficult for you to decide whether to stay in other places besides those mentioned above.

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

20 15 "The 43 Most Beautiful Hotels in the World" was selected from 0755 to 79000. Notting Camp is one of the three major hotels in China.

The camp is on the Sankoh grassland, not far from Labrang Temple. It only operates for five months a year (May -65438+ 10). Withdraw before winter and the grassland will return to nature.

This is a bit like the African luxury hotel in Notting. The experience of staying in a star-rated hotel in an extremely wild environment is rare in China.

However, there are only 1 1 in Notting's wooden houses and tents. If you can book it, it is highly recommended.

scheduling

If you have done the raiders of Northwest China or Tibet and Xinjiang before, you will find that the difficulty coefficient of crossing Gannan is much smaller, 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, and accordingly, there are three major 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

The most common way is to fly to Lanzhou first, and then rent/charter a car. However, if you want to save effort, Xiahe also has an airport, and Chengdu, Guangxi, Yinchuan, Lhasa, Tianjin and other cities have direct flights.

Gannan small ring road can be completed in about 3-4 days, which is very friendly for office workers with less holidays and more troubles.

Take Lanzhou as an example:

Day 1: langmusi of Labrang Temple in Lanzhou.

The next day: Gahai Zagana, langmusi

Day 3: Zagana, Lanzhou

With the same geographical advantage, Gannan Small Ring Road has more room for adjustment.

If your vacation time is long enough, you can seamlessly connect the West 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.

Highlights along the way

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

The "cocoon Amdo" in Gannan 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 of Nine Colors Gannan also means this.

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

Green grassland forest, blue Anqing, blue sky lake;

Purple Tibetan Bodhi, Black Yak, Bai Xueshan, Baiyun. Gannan really has a beautiful capital.

What is there to play in the small ring road in southern Jiangxi? Let's start with Xiahe and say it counterclockwise.

Route: Xiahe Langmusmaqu Zoigedieu cooperation.

J. Law

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

There are 12 1 Tibetan Buddhist temples in Gannan, among which the most famous, highest and most worth seeing Labrang Temple is located in Xiahe.

Labrang Temple also appeared in the movie Travel+Leisure.

Xia Neng, together with Lhasa in Tibet and Dege in Sichuan, became the "three ancient cultural centers in Tibetan areas" and was also attributed to Labrang Temple.

Laleng Temple is one of the six major temples of Gelug Sect of Tibetan Buddhism, and it is also the most intact Tibetan Buddhist temple in the world.

Buleng Temple has set up six colleges with different majors, and it takes great efforts to pass the exam, which is as difficult as our college entrance examination.

Even without faith, Labrang Temple is well worth visiting.

The building in the temple is magnificent, with countless precious Buddha statues, sculptures, murals, utensils and scriptures.

There is also the longest warp-changing corridor in the world, surrounded by three temples, 1700 warp-changing barrel. It takes about 1.5 hours to complete all the prayers.

Leave the Labrang Temple and drive down. The surrounding scenery began to change. About half an hour's drive, Sankoh Grassland is there.

In summer, Sankoh grassland is a place where you can embrace the wind. The aforementioned Xianglang Festival is also an important festival of Sangke.

The scenery of Hulunbeier grassland is an endless prairie, and the low-lying place in the middle of Moraceae is a prairie 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

Not a temple in langmusi, but a small town.

There is a stream less than two meters wide in the center 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 Musechi Temple in Dacanglang, Gansu across the river belong to langmusi in a broad sense.

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

Lamas in langmusi are more like my neighbors than solemn temples. They go shopping and buy snacks. The mystery of religion disappeared in langmusi.

Langmusi is the kind of town that can make you feel calm. It is primitive and crude, but it is a town after all, which is very suitable as a supply station leading to the ring road. There will be more hotel and accommodation options.

Maqu

I think the first half of Gannan Small Ring can be said to be the essence of religion and humanity. After entering Maqu, the natural scenery began to attract attention.

The most important scenery in Maqu is the Awancang Wetland. From 0755 to 79000, she was rated as "the most beautiful grassland wetland in China", but she was the first.

Gongqu, Selqu, Daojiqu and the Yellow River meet here, because the terrain is relatively flat, forming a lot of water systems. There are wetlands and lakes, snow-capped mountains and the Yellow River set each other off, and the whole scenery is very fragrant.

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

The Yellow River flows from Golog, Qinghai into Maqu, Gannan, bypassing 5 bends 180, and then flows into Qinghai, which is the first bend of the Yellow River.

Even on the observation deck, I still can't bear to overlook the panorama. It is better to take aerial photos with small planes.

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

Diebu

Zhagana, which means "stone box" in Tibetan, is also the climax of Gannan Small Ring Road.

American explorer Locke spoke highly of this place: "I have never seen such a beautiful scenery in my life." If the author of world without thieves saw the beauty of overlapping parts, he would put the birthplace of Adam and Eve here. "

She consists of four small Tibetan villages hidden in the mountains. From low to high, it is Dongwa Village (the largest), Yeri Village (terraced fields and flowers), Dari Village (the most beautiful sunrise) and Tiba Village (the highest altitude).

It is still a little difficult to get in and out of Zhaga, which leads to the original ecological scenery and lifestyle here.

In addition, Zhaga's environment surrounded by snow-capped mountains and canyons is as beautiful as a secret place 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 each route is beautiful.

The lifestyle of the aborigines in the village is also very traditional, with sunrise and sunset. Every day, there is a ceremony to simmer mulberry and turn the tower.

Although there is accommodation in Zhagana, the conditions are average, and there will be more choices in Diebu County. But the starry sky at night and the golden mountain in the morning are really beautiful.

cooperate

The final cooperation is the capital of Gannan Prefecture, and the most important scenic spot is the Phantom Eight Buddha Pavilion. There are only two Phantom Eight Pagodas in the whole Tibetan area, and this is the only high-level temple dedicated to Tibetan Buddhist masters.

The exterior of the pavilion is all cyan quartzite, without a wood; The inside of the Buddha pavilion is made of wood, and no stones can be seen. There is a saying that there is no wood outside and no stone inside.

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

After the cooperation, you can drive back to Lanzhou with all your strength. It takes 3 hours to drive, and the whole journey is high-speed.

Chinese national geography, an American travel magazine, commented that Gannan is an outdoor paradise that "makes life feel free". I'm impressed.

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.

If you are nervous during the holiday or want to see different scenery, you can consider her on your next trip.
