Xi' an drives nine colors of Gannan, all the way to magical dreams.

It is the dream of many people to open nine colors in Gannan. As one of the most beautiful go on road trip routes in China, it attracts countless Go road trip fans every year. In summer, as the peak season of Gannan's self-driving tour, many people are eager to have a go on road trip. Nan Ge once drove from Xi 'an to Gannan twice. He was very impressed with this self-driving route and hoped to share it with you. My self-driving trip to Gannan in Xi 'an is Xi 'an-Linxia-Lapleng Temple-Sangke Grassland-Gahai Lake-langmusi-Zoige Grassland-Huanglong-Jiuzhaigou-Qingmuchuan -Xi 'an, which takes about 7 days.

1. Linxia and Gannan in Gansu are the most easily overlooked cities for self-driving.

We started from Xi 'an, passed Baoji, Tianshui and Weiyuan and went straight to Linxia, Gansu. It was very late when I arrived in Linxia, but the unique Islamic customs and grand mosque here were really impressive. Because everyone is in a hurry to go to Gannan grassland, Labrang Temple and other famous scenic spots, they often ignore it and just spend the night and have a meal. In fact, Linxia has a long history and is the main road of the Silk Road. The remains of Majiayao culture here attract worldwide attention. Famous scenic spots include Nanguan Mosque, Liujiaxia Reservoir, Bingling Temple Grottoes, Oriental Forbidden City, Lianhua Mountain and Erlang Mountain. Delicious food includes hand-grabbed mutton, dumpling skin, Hezhou steamed stuffed bun, fried chicken gizzard and so on. If time permits, I suggest going to Linxia to have a look and taste the local food.

2. Lapleng Temple, one of the six monasteries of the Gelug Sect of Tibetan Buddhism, is a "world institution of Tibetan studies".

Labuleng Temple is located in Xiahe County, Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Gansu Province. It is one of the six monasteries of Gelug Sect of Tibetan Buddhism, and is praised by the world as "the world Tibetan learning institution". I have been to all the famous Tibetan Buddhism in the five Tibetan areas, and I have the impression that Labuleng Temple is really large and there are many monks. Besides numerous Buddhist buildings and monks, Labrang Temple has the best Tibetan Buddhism teaching system in China. When you come here, you can enjoy Tibetan Buddhist architecture, feel devout believers, take a turn in the economy, relax, and have the opportunity to attend classes or debate scriptures by students from Buddhist colleges. If you are interested, you can also try Tibetan food in Xiahe County next to Labrang Temple.

3. Wandering in the Moraceae grassland, always pay attention to the cattle and sheep crossing the road, and the Red Army's arrival in the Damei wetland grassland in northern Shaanxi, Zoige.

Many people will be very excited when they first enter the Sangke grassland, facing the vast grassland, cattle and sheep, blue sky and white clouds everywhere, but in a few days, walking hundreds of kilometers between the Sangke grassland and the Zoige grassland may cause aesthetic fatigue. Mulberry grassland, located in Xiahe, Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Gansu Province, belongs to meadow grassland, with an average elevation of more than 3000 meters and a grassland area of 70 square kilometers. The vast grassland is an extremely precious natural tourist attraction. Zoige Grassland, known as "the oasis of northwest Sichuan Plateau", is one of the three major wetlands in China, with a total area of about 53,000 square kilometers. It was the place where the Red Army crossed the grassland on the Long March. Many scenes you saw in movies and TV plays actually happened here, and there are many memorial buildings along the way.

In these two places, you can enjoy the blue sky and white clouds different from other places, watch eagles soar in the sky, watch cattle and sheep roam the grassland, and whip their horses to gallop the grassland. It should be noted that there are many self-driving vehicles in Gannan in summer or holidays. When driving on the road, you should always pay attention to the cattle and sheep crossing the road and the vehicles coming from the opposite side. When you need to stop to take pictures, you must pull over, pull over, and then pull over. If you want to ride a horse, stay here and eat, you must negotiate the price in advance. I only spent 20 yuan on horseback riding, but many people say that I was "slaughtered" here. Maybe it was their bad luck.

4. langmusi, a small Swiss city in the East, is a must-see town on Gannan Road.

There is a small town on the self-driving road in Gannan, which is a must-see place for self-drivers. It is called Little Switzerland in the East and has the only celestial burial platform that can be visited in Tibetan areas. This place is langmusi. Langmusi Town is located in the birthplace of Bailong River at the head of Taohe River, bordering Gansu and Sichuan provinces. There are two large-scale temples in the town, which are under the jurisdiction of Sichuan and Gansu provinces, both of which are called langmusi. The two temples have their own characteristics, but most of them are aimed at langmusi in Gansu. After all, there is only one celestial burial platform to visit.

Since it is called Little Switzerland in the East, it shows that the scenery here is extremely beautiful, and it is indeed true. As for whether to look at the celestial burial or not, it depends on personal circumstances. When I went, I just wandered around the town and went to the mountains to see the scenery. What impressed me most on the mountain was the flowers of Stellera chamaejasme. Is the name familiar? Yes, there is a TV series called Stellera chamaejasme. I thought it was strange at the time. I didn't know there really was a flower called Daphne chamaejasme. Dozens of vultures gathered on the mountain, and the scene was spectacular. It was only 100 meters away from me. Fortunately, the local girls told me that they wouldn't take the initiative to attack people, otherwise I would be scared away.

Because langmusi is too small, there are many tourists here, so you must book a room in advance when you go to langmusi, or you will probably have no house when you arrive. Even in summer, the outdoor temperature here is very low. Be sure to pay attention when you go, and you'd better prepare more thick clothes, even the quilt on the car.

Five, colorful Huanglong, magic Jiuzhai

Huanglong and Jiuzhaigou are too famous to be introduced here. I have been to these two places twice, especially more than ten years ago. Although accommodation and other facilities are poor, there are few tourists and beautiful scenery. The biggest feeling of this trip is that there are too many people, especially Jiuzhaigou. It may take a lot of time to queue up to buy tickets and queue up to enter the scenic spot by car. According to the experience of two trips, it is suggested that holidays and weekends must be staggered. To visit Huanglong, you can choose to take a cable car up the mountain, then walk down the mountain and enjoy the beautiful scenery all the way. From Huanglong to Jiuzhaigou, you can visit Chuanzhu Temple and Songpan Ancient City. When you arrive in Jiuzhaigou, if there are many tourists, try not to stop at the mouth of the ditch and drive a few kilometers ahead. Maybe the accommodation price is less than half of Mizoguchi. Either let the hotel buy tickets for you, or send a strong man to buy tickets in advance in the morning. Take a tour bus all the way to Jiuzhaigou, and then visit a scenic spot according to your physical strength. Visitors to Huanglong and Jiuzhaigou for the first time, colorful Huanglong and magical Jiuzhai will definitely make your eyes shine.

Six, follow the novels and TV series to visit the ancient town of Qingmuchuan, and the three provinces have a smell, and the three provinces have a crow.

I have been to the ancient town of Qingmuchuan twice, the first time because of the novel Qingmuchuan, and the second time because of Sun's "A Generation of Heroes". This time, I brought my family with me, feeling more prosperous and more tourists, but I still miss the first time more than ten years ago.

The Weijia, Huilongchang Old Street, foreign houses, boathouses and other places here are all worth visiting, especially after watching TV dramas. And I like to go to two places every time I come. One is Fu Jen Middle School, the pride of Wei's life, and the other is to climb to the back hill to overlook the whole Qingmuchuan panorama. The walnut crisp and plum wine here are good. If you eat, the hot rice skin and grilled fish here are also very good. You can also go to the fengqing street by the river to have tea and wine tasting and take a walk by the river.

Of course, you can also drive to Huahu Lake, Gahai Lake, Jiuqu, the first bay of the Yellow River, Chuanzhu Temple, Songpan Ancient City and other places. If you have time, this route is suitable for 7- 10 days. You can relax, drive slowly, enjoy the beautiful scenery quietly all the way, savor the local food and wine, and feel the charm of nine-color Gannan, colorful Huanglong and magical Jiuzhai.
