Gannan four-day travel guide

The beauty of Gansu is mostly majestic and vast, but some people still think there is a trace of desolation here. However, in the Gansu that the editor knows, there is no desolation. Even in autumn, the desolation here is more of a majestic and even colorful beauty.

Especially the beauty of Gannan is the most unforgettable. So, this autumn, when the National Day is approaching, you might as well plan your own trip to Gannan! The editor’s itinerary is the four-day itinerary of Gannan. Friends who need it can take a look! Itinerary Overview:

D2, Xiahe-Langmusi-Zhagana, stay in Diebu

D4. Tangke-Huahu-Cooperation-Lanzhou Transportation Plan

1. Take a bus from Lanzhou?

From Lanzhou to Gannan, there are several arrival stations such as Xiahe, Maqu and Luqu. There is only one bus from Lanzhou South Bus Station to Xiahe every day, and the fare is 70 yuan one way. It can only be sent to the bus station, but not to the grasslands and temples.

Stop the car when there are people walking up and down the road. It was already afternoon when we arrived at Xiahe. Moreover, the carriage smells like butter, which many women cannot accept.

2. How to rent a car from Lanzhou and drive yourself?

Based on the Volkswagen Lavida, the cheapest car rental model in China, the daily rent is 280 yuan/day, not counting the 50 yuan deductible service /day, plus a service fee of 35 yuan, the car cost for the four-day trip is 1,355 yuan, based on 4 people, 340 yuan per person.

1100 kilometers is calculated as 7 fuel per 100 kilometers, and the fuel fee is 500 yuan, 120 yuan per person. The fee for crossing the road and the bridge is about 200 yuan, and 50 yuan per person. The cost of renting a car and driving alone is 340120

50=510 yuan.

The most common hotel costs 200 yuan per room, and for four nights, the cost per person is 400 yuan. Not counting the tickets for various attractions, the cost per person is already more than 900.

3. How to get a chartered car from Lanzhou?

There is basically no difference between chartered car and private customization, and most of them require you to provide food and accommodation for the driver, and you have to worry about it yourself. For problems such as hotels, it is better to find professional private customization services!

4. How about joining a group tour from Lanzhou? - Most recommended

From Lanzhou to Gannan, this is the best way to go In terms of itineraries, there are two types. One is a private group tour, with a separate car and hotel reservation. The hotel standards are higher, and they are basically four-star or quasi-four-star hotels with higher local rankings.

The driver and tour leader travels to Gannan all year round. He understands the needs of customers very well and is familiar with the local conditions. The most important thing is that if you have a problem, you can just call the customer service and they will help you solve it.

The second type is group tour, which takes the same route as the small group tour, but the number of people is slightly larger. The main disadvantage of this kind of group tour is that there is a certain time limit, because we are a group. In order to ensure the continuation of one stop and to take care of everyone's basic needs, it is inevitable that everyone needs to abide by the time agreement. Introduction to attractions

1. Labrang Temple

Labrang Temple is an open temple. If you can’t stand the smell of butter, you can just wander around the temple. Tickets are required, and you need to buy a ticket to enter the sutra hall. After buying the tickets, you will be led by the lama to visit.

The lamas here are of very high standard and can provide explanations in foreign languages. Even mainstream international languages ??are not a problem for them! There are two major attractions in Labrang Monastery that you must visit. One is the film "A World Without Thieves" One of the shooting locations is the prayer corridor, and the other is the Buddha-showing platform next to the Daxia River.

You can overlook the entire temple when you climb up to the Buddha-showing platform. This is the best place to shoot a blockbuster movie, so don’t miss it! Our itinerary can choose to include meals or not. If meals are included, it will save time. Peace of mind. If you choose not to include meals, you can go to Xiahe County to dine. There are many restaurants.

2. Langmusi

I go to Langmusi alone for a few days every year. In addition to the beautiful scenery, what attracts me most is the bar here.

Along the way to Gannan, the bars in Langmusi are the most interesting! Every year, there are many tourists here, hanging out in various small bars with special features, chatting, and everyone sits at the same table.

We talk about the world here, drinking and chatting until very late. When I got out of the bar and looked up, I found that the starry sky here was so beautiful. The next day on the way to the Celestial Burial Pavilion, I might meet the friend I had chatted with at the bar last night. That kind of tacit understanding and chance encounter is also my favorite feeling.

Langmusi is a town, half in Sichuan and half in Gansu. There is also a temple in Sichuan and Gansu.

If you like natural landscapes, you can visit the Gerti Temple in Sichuan. Walk back along the mountain road to find the Fairy Cave and Zhongyin Cave, etc., and pass through the canyon into a stone forest meadow. The scenery is very beautiful.

In Gansu temples, you can climb to the entrance of the Sutra Hall and overlook the town of Langmusi and Hongshi Cliff. Climbing halfway up the hillside, you can see the open sky burial platform, which is also one of the reasons why Langmusi is famous.

3. Flower Lake

From July to August, the Gesang flowers bloom on the grassland. It is the most beautiful season here, and it is also the season for large-scale production. Sunshine, clouds and galsang flowers are all there, so let’s use your photography skills to the fullest. There are many small vendors selling souvenirs at the entrance of Huahu. If you are not ready to buy, it is best not to ask around and bargain.

Less than 20 kilometers from Erlang Mountain is Huahu, and further down is Ruoergai, which is the best pasture in western Sichuan. From time to time, yaks and sheep pass through in groups on both sides of the road. This is part of the reason why I don’t recommend self-driving. Every year, self-driving cars accidentally hit and kill herdsmen's animals, and they had to pay to solve the problem.

There is another secret that I have to tell you. There are too many speed cameras along the road. The most important thing is that the speed limit is different. As soon as you set the speed, the next speed measurement point is low again. When I go back, I will see, what a guy! They are all fines!

4. Tangke Eighteen Bends of the Yellow River

There are two things you need to pay attention to when visiting here, one is time, and the other is horseback riding. The main purpose of going to Shibawan is to take pictures of the sunset. You must arrive here at the right time, find a location in advance, set up a tripod, and just wait for the sunset to slowly set and capture the most beautiful moment.

When it comes to horse riding, the grooms here are quite honest. If you negotiate the price in advance, it won’t be a big problem. The main thing I remind you about is riding. Many people are inexperienced, and there are many cases where horses fall over backwards.

Please remember that when riding a horse up a mountain, the slope is steep. The upper body must be arched forward and backward when going down the mountain. Otherwise, it will be too tragic to fall and get injured after playing.

5. Zhagana

There are at least three hiking routes to choose from in Zhagana, and most people take the most conventional one. When you get to the foot of Shicheng, there will be many horsemen coming up to solicit business. They usually charge according to the distance, 100 RMB for going up the hillside, 150 RMB for going to Fairy Lake, and the fee is higher if you go further.

What I need to tell you is that the living conditions in Zhagana are very poor. It is beautiful during the day and many people want to stay there. In fact, there are not many entertainment programs at night. It is also recommended to go to Diebu County for dining. It is not very far away. The barbecue in the county is absolutely delicious!
