Gansu-Qingdao Great Ring Road tourist destination; Tourism strategic route of Gansu-Qinghai great ring road

The Great Ring Road of Ganqing is the most popular route in road trip in recent years, and it is very popular with young domestic tourists. You can go to road trip or ride a bike, but driving is recommended, which consumes too much energy and time. Now you can enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way by train. This is a detailed tour guide map of Gan Qing Ring Road.

Some people say that in one's life, one must go to the Great Northwest Link, because the Great Link is equivalent to 10 trip. The most classic seven-day northwest ring spans about 2700 kilometers in Qinghai and Gansu provinces, covering about 20 scenic spots in the two provinces. All the seemingly out-of-place beauties, such as desert, Gobi, grottoes, Ya Dan, Danxia, mountains and rivers and lakes, converge on this line.

You may have to travel many times to see the whole scenery, and you can meet it here. The scenic spots in the northwest are scattered and far away, so in the case of inconvenient traffic in the scenic spots in the northwest, the most suitable way is to drive.

In May, the annual long-distance summer vacation was put on the agenda again. Where are you going this year? At a family gathering, I occasionally talk about this topic. I said my daughter wanted to visit Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes. A person is too tired to drive, so he can only travel with a group regretfully. I didn't expect to get a positive response from my brother's family, saying that it would be better for us to rent a seven-seater car in Xining. It's not too tired for two people to take turns driving, so they went on a trip.

Comfortable soft sleeper car

2 days 2 Xi- Xining

Arrive at Xi 'an An Station at noon the next day, take the subway 1 at Wudaokou Station to North Street, then transfer to Line 2 to Xi 'an An North Station, then take D2673 to Xi 'an An North Station in Xining, 19:40 to Xining Station, and pick up the car directly at CARInc. There was something wrong with renting a car, and the first car couldn't catch fire directly.

The second car has been photographed and is ready to pick up people. My wife said there seemed to be something wrong with the staff's shift, so I asked the master to hang up personally. The result is really hard to hang up. It's good to hang up three times out of ten. I dare not drive thousands of kilometers in such a car.

Fortunately, there is nothing wrong with the third car. Try to brake the throttle position again and again. All the places where the car was cleaned were photographed and stayed. In the later journey, the car was quite powerful and nothing happened.

Automobile Co., Ltd. Xining high-speed railway station Branch

As the fuel tank of the lift car has reached the warning line, go out to refuel immediately. It's almost ten o'clock. I had a quick meal in Lamian Noodles and stayed at Home Inn (No.26 Jianguo Street).

Looking at the night view of Xining from the guest room.

3 days in Ningqilian Town, Zall Mountain West (the total journey is about 290 kilometers)

To the west of Xining, take Datong exit and enter G227. When you cross Daban Mountain, you encounter falling rocks. Fortunately, I waited for the construction vehicle to clear the scene, and it took only ten minutes for normal traffic.

Dabanshan toll gate

Go on, pass the 3,700-meter Jingyang Lingguan, go to Ebao Town, the main traffic artery of the Silk Road, have lunch there, and walk all the way to Zhuo'er Mountain.

Ebao Ancient Town (Newly Built)

Passing arou temple

It takes about one o'clock in the afternoon to reach Mount Zall. Zhuo'er Mountain is facing Niuxinshan. The snow on the top of the mountain is clearly visible. The rape flowers at the foot of the mountain correspond to the yellow and green of the wheat field, so it is called "Qilian Mountain in the sky".

Mount Zall is 4328 meters above sea level. Maybe I'm not used to just going to the plateau, or maybe I walk a little fast. After coming down from Mount Zall, I was a little at a loss. After playing for about two hours, I drove to the homestay in Qilian Town. BB was booked on Airbnb's website more than a month in advance. On the sixth floor of BB, carrying large and small luggage increased the high response on the sixth floor. After a hasty meal in the evening, I went into my room to have a rest. After a short sleep at night, it is difficult to fall asleep again. I have a terrible headache and my eyes seem to be squeezed out of the frame. Stay up until dawn.

4 days Qilian Town-Zhangye Colorful Danxia Scenic Area (242km)-Jiayuguan City (about 220km)

I had a headache all night, so I had to get up and take an aspirin. Continue your journey, leave Qilian Town and go to Ebao. Early in the morning, I met herders who drove cattle and sheep out of their homes to natural pastures. Cattle and sheep flock across the road to eat grass from time to time. All we can do is wait for them to pass quietly. After all, this is their territory. We are passers-by. Don't honk your horn when you meet cattle and sheep, but wait for an opportunity to pass, or you will be easily frightened. The consequences will be very troublesome).

The car drove to the three-way intersection of Ebao Town visited yesterday. G227 to Zhangye, Gansu. Passed the 3685-meter Aobaolin Pass and entered Minle County, Gansu Province. I saw Minle County in a documentary that I can't remember. In my impression, the rape fields in this county are a bit famous. Sure enough, I saw a large piece of blooming rape flowers along the way and couldn't help but stop to take pictures.

Blossoming rape flowers

It's past noon after arriving at Zhangye Scenic Area, and after entering Gansu, Van Gogh has disappeared. I had a crazy meal in a Sichuan restaurant in the scenic spot yesterday to make up for the lack of food. I also regained my strength. Zhang Ye's colorful Danxia is famous for "Three Guns Surprise" and later became the location of many popular movies. Piled up into mountains, covered with colorful ribbons, just like the palette left by God on earth.

After playing in the scenic spot for about two hours, I originally planned to take off in a hot air balloon to shoot a panoramic view of Danxia landform. For safety reasons, I asked the staff to open it after five o'clock as appropriate. Forget it. Out of Danxia scenic spot, go straight to Jiayuguan. It was about six o'clock when we arrived at Jiayuguan Scenic Area. The ticket for Jiayuguan is 1 10 yuan. I learned from the forum and friends who have been there before that this scenic spot is a bit pitted. So we decided to drive around Jiayuguan on three sides, take pictures from all angles and punch in here. Then stay at Ibis Jiayuguan Hotel in the evening.

Because this is my first time in Gansu. I experienced Gansu cuisine in a restaurant opposite the hotel. The experience is good.

Delicious milk puree

5 days Jiayuguan Dunhuang (about 362 kilometers)

Get up in the morning and open the window to see the Qilian Mountain in the distance. Many peaks are wearing white hats. It is covered with perennial snow. Unfortunately, the hotel screen window can't be opened and can't be photographed. I had to shoot Jiayuguan Railway Station downstairs in the hotel. Jiayuguan Railway Station leaves Jiayuguan for Dunhuang. On both sides of the road is the vast Gobi, all the way to the west, listening to Xu Wei's "Freedom Like the Wind". My heart is full of pride. Feel how wide the world is, and how wide the heart is. "

Jiayuguan-Dunhuang

Arrive in Dunhuang at noon. After dinner, we went directly to the Mogao Grottoes Digital Exhibition Center. A month ago, we booked Class A tickets on the official website, Mogao Grottoes. 38 yuan/adult. Including digital movies, 8 holes and tour buses. When booking, you need to make an appointment to be present. You can't be admitted to the hospital after an appointment. Digital movies mainly introduce the past lives of Mogao Grottoes. After watching the movie, take a tour bus to visit the Mogao Grottoes. As the Mogao Grottoes are world-famous artistic treasures, there are many tourists. And for safety protection, only queue at the door and enter in batches. Every 15-20 people will be led by a tour guide who will explain a pair of headphones throughout.

Mogao Grottoes: The Mogao Grottoes, known as the Louvre in the East, also known as the Thousand Buddha Cave, have artistic treasures that have been handed down for thousands of years. Those finely carved Buddha statues, those carefully sketched and painstakingly painted murals are precious gifts left to us and the world by craftsmen of all ages. The Mogao Grottoes is a classic that can't be missed during the trip to the northwest. The Buddha statue in the cave is very beautiful. The cassock sits on the lotus platform and naturally hangs on the lotus platform. The folds of the cassock covered on the lotus table are clearly visible. In the caisson, dancing skirts, fluttering ribbons. As if traveling through time and space at any time, the murals in the cave are all painted with pigments made of precious stones and metals. After thousands of years, it is still colorful. Because of the protection of cultural relics, photographs are not allowed in the cave. After visiting the grottoes, the trip to the Mogao Grottoes is over. (Brush Weibo on the high-speed rail. Seeing the rainstorm in Dunhuang area, one day's rainfall is the sum of the whole year. The current washed away the road leading to the Mogao Grottoes, and all the tourists who booked the tickets were refunded. I can't help feeling glad. When we traveled in the northwest, the weather has been fine these days. It's not too late to pick up the car at the Digital Exhibition Center. It is about 10 km to Mingsha Mountain Scenic Area. Admission 1 10, half price for children. Without any tour fee, pay 130/ person to play in the scenic spot, including sand skiing and camel riding. One-way electric vehicles in scenic spots.

Drive to Dunhuang IU Hotel at 8: 00. After going through the formalities and having a simple dinner, I went to Dunhuang night market and bought some gifts.

Dunhuang logo bouncing pipa statue.

On the sixth day, Dunhuang-Yumenguan (100km)- Ya Dan ghost town (about 70km)- Aksai (180 km).

From Dunhuang to Yumen, all the way is Gobi, and there are few vehicles. Look at the empty road. We also parked the car on the side of the road and took some road photos.

The Yellow River is getting farther and farther away, because it flows in the middle of the Yellow River, and Yumenguan is located on an isolated mountain. Why use the elegy of willow to complain about the delay of spring, old Yumenguan, not a spring breeze is blowing! In the enlightenment education, everyone in China must recite Tang poems. Finally, seeing is believing. I saw the only remaining small town in Yumen, walked into the city, looked at the yellow rammed earth wall, and felt the sadness and loneliness of the soldiers guarding the border. There are 40 people in Yumen Scenic Area, so you don't need to buy scenic traffic to drive. )

It takes more than an hour to reach Ya Dan Ghost Town Scenic Area, Ghost Town: The ghost town of Ya Dan in Dunhuang is a part of ancient Lop Nur, with a huge scale. On the endless Gobi, the rugged Ya Dan landform is dotted with strange and spectacular landscapes. Whenever night falls, the sharp strong wind blows through the Gobi, making a terrible roar, which is creepy. Therefore, the "ghost town" is named.

Cross the Gobi desert highway and arrive at Aksai oil town at 6 pm. Oil has been mined. The town looks quiet. The traffic is not too heavy. After settling down in the hotel, we immediately went to Zhuanjing Town, Boluo. Aksai Oil Town: An oil town in Aksai Kazak Autonomous County. Local people collect tickets outside, 20 people. This is the location of the movie "Nine-story Demon Tower". This is an abandoned city, which was restored in the 1980s. Many scenes in the film are still intact. Flying minibuses, gas stations and schools are all good places to pose.

Strange picture, a helicopter stopped at the door of a small hotel to refuel for maintenance.

7 days Aksai-Youxiang service area (about 270km)- Dachaidan (50k m)- Delingha.

Today, I'm going to cross Dang Jinshan Mountain at an altitude of more than 3,700 meters and enter Qinghai again, so I got up early in the morning to wash and tidy up. After filling up at 7:30, I started my journey, leaving Aksai to be Jinshan. There is a 42-kilometer uphill journey, and it is obvious that the 2.0T Datong accelerator will step on the end. The car ran out of energy, so I drove 20 yards ahead.

There is a 10-meter-high sidewalk platform directly opposite the driveway. I wonder what this is for. When I saw a sign written in front of the platform, I suddenly realized. Uncontrolled vehicle navigation. I am afraid of going down the mountain for 42 kilometers in a row. Some vehicles have failed to brake, so let them rush to the high platform to brake. Think of dozens of tons of long trailers. If they fail, it would be terrible to run away.

Along the way, when there is a section of road under Jinshan,

Arrive at Youxiang Public Security Checkpoint at noon 1 1:30. Everyone in the car has to get off for safety inspection. Photographing is not allowed here. After getting on the bus again, I entered the fish card service area, which was contracted by Tibetans. Only Tibetan food is served. A 59 yuan, feel a bit expensive, and asked for instant noodles. The overall feeling is not very friendly.

We only ate our own snacks. Actually, you can walk 50 kilometers here without eating. It takes a short time to get to Chaidan Town, the resident of Dachaidan Management Committee. There are all hotels and supermarkets here.

We had dinner before and went directly to Yuhu Lake in Dachaidan Lake. It is 5 kilometers from the town to the lake, and the road conditions are extremely poor. Only the tortoise runs fast. At least by the lake, the beautiful scenery makes us feel that it is worthwhile to drive this unprecedented rotten road.

There is no development and no cost here. By the lake, a small group of villagers came by car to play. Leave Emerald Lake at two o'clock in the afternoon, continue to take G30 1 1 Liu Ge Expressway, transfer to Dexiao Expressway and go to Delingha. Halfway, rest in the Taitou Tara service area. Aliens were found near the slanting Tara, and there is an alien site at present. This is not in our itinerary. We only punch in at the service area. Continue to drive eastward until you reach Delhi.

Tutala service area

Delingha, founded in 1988, is the seat of the state capital of Haixi Mongolian and Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, with an altitude of about 3,000 meters and an urban population of about 50,000. The air in town is very fresh. The streets are planned neatly and cleanly. Feel comfortable and livable. Haizi, a poet from Delhi, passed by several times. And wrote the famous poem "Sister, I am in Delingha tonight", which is the only place where many Wen Qing entered Qinghai. There is a Haizi Memorial Hall near Xinyuan Road in Hanting where we live, introducing Haizi's life and his poems.

8 days Delingha-Chaka Salt Lake (200 km)-Tianjun County-gangcha county

After leaving Delhi, take the Chad Expressway to s20 13- Chaka Salt Lake and have a good time. 20 13 turns to G3 15, climbs Guanjiao Mountain at an altitude of 3,847 meters, enters Tianjun County, enters the pastoral area again, and sees a large area of grassland and cattle and sheep. Zero distance from cattle and sheep, cross Tianjun County into gangcha county, Haibei Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, meet Qinghai Lake, walk along the lake for 20 or 30 kilometers, and enter the plateau Haicheng gangcha county.

Tea Salt Lake: It was rated as "one of the 55 places that people must visit in their life" by National Tourism Geography magazine, and it has the reputation of "the land of the sky". As a mirror that can reflect the sky, it is a holy place to visit Qinghai for taking photos and punching cards. Tea Salt Lake is a famous natural crystalline salt lake in Qaidam Basin, and it is the "mirror of the sky" of China. Its salt output can be used by people all over the country for about 75 years. There are many salt sculptures in the scenic area to watch, and you can also take a small train to visit the depths of the salt lake. Visitors can walk barefoot to the lake, watch and photograph their reflections. If they are lucky, they can see the mirage formed on these rivers during the day. (Chaka Salt Lake train one-way 50 yuan/person. You can take a one-way train to the core area, go down to the lake to shoot, walk about one kilometer back to Salt Sculpture Square, and take the electric sightseeing bus to the exit. 5 yuan/bit)

Tianjun County re-entered the pastoral area of Lu Yu by sheep.

Qinghai Lake (a big lake as blue as the sea, boundless)

Qinghai Lake: Every season, Qinghai Lake has its own different beauty. In a year, the scenery in July and August is the best, because at this time, there are a lot of golden rape flowers in full bloom by the lake, and the yellow sea of flowers sets off the blue lagoon and connects with Tianshui. The scenery is beautiful. It was a little cloudy when we arrived. The wind is strong).

Jiutian Gangchatar Temple in Huangzhong, Xining

From gangcha county, drive along G3 15, pass Haibei Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, haiyan county, Huangyuan County and Xining, and arrive at Ta 'er Temple in Huangzhong County. Ta 'er Temple: One of the six monasteries of Tibetan Buddhism and Yellow Sect in China, the birthplace of the founder of Tibetan Buddhism and Yellow Sect. Ta 'er Temple, also known as Ta 'er Temple, was built in the tenth year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (1377). Named after the Great Silver Pagoda built in memory of Zong Kaba, the founder of Buddhism, in Dajinwa Temple.

Return to Xining around 5 pm. Starting point-ending point. Turned a big circle. When I arrived in Xining, I put the children in the hotel, filled up the gas, and then immediately returned the car to the car company. Because there was no gas in the tank when we picked up the car, we filled it up and returned it. Shenzhou had a record before, and refunded us 450 yuan for fuel. More formal. We immediately praised this store on the APP. Back to the hotel, I cleaned up and went to the online celebrity restaurant Yiranxuan Qinghai Special Restaurant. After arriving, I didn't taste Qinghai cuisine. I had a good time this time. I ordered some special dishes in the shop.

Because it is an online celebrity restaurant, it means a lot of people. Many people drag their suitcases to eat (I guess they have to get off the transport). While we were waiting for our seats, I wandered into the opposite alley. The unexpected discovery passed through the alley. It is the majestic Dongguan Grand Mosque that I wanted to see before. This is the advantage of eating.

Day 10 Xining -Xi 'anbei-Nanjingnan

The trip is over. The perfect big ring.

Qinghai-Dalian Loop Tourism Necessary Project:

Documents: ID card, student ID card, etc. (It's better for children to get an ID card to facilitate travel)

Moisturizing: lip balm, hand cream and hydrating spray.

Sun protection: sunscreen, sun protection clothes, hats, sunglasses, shawls.

Cash: Alipay and WeChat are basically popular in northwest China, so it is best to prepare some spare ones in small towns.

Clothing: the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, and the temperature is low in summer. In addition to seasonal clothing, it is best to prepare a coat and ultra-thin down jacket for July travel. Because of the beautiful scenery, there are many natural photos. You can bring colorful clothes.

Sandals: Can be used in salt lakes and deserts.

Drugs: basically, there will be no great adverse effects. Eat a little cold medicine, band-aid, aspirin, too much meat in the northwest diet, and the corresponding sanitary conditions are even worse. Therefore, it is very important to prevent diarrhea, and the corresponding drugs are necessary.

Electronic equipment: camera phone, charger. The charging treasure also has a more important cigarette lighter charger with multiple USB ports (the car rental company doesn't provide this, and the charging treasure can't bear to listen to songs for a long time).

Map: It's best to get off the line before going out and update to the latest before going out, because some mountainous areas and desert Gobi areas have no signal because they have to pass through no man's land.

Write it at the end.

Things to do in advance when traveling:

1. If you don't drive all the way, rent a car locally. Take CARInc as an example, you have to make an appointment two months in advance. Not only can you rent a car in advance, but the package price is reasonable. If the rent is temporary, there may be no car rental or the price will rise three or four times.

During July and August and the National Day, the accommodation along the way was extremely tight. You need to book a hotel in advance according to the destination of the day you plan your daily itinerary. If the itinerary cannot reach the scheduled place on the same day, it is best to delete individual itineraries according to the situation.

3. Tickets for the Mogao Grottoes also need to be booked in official website one month in advance. When you buy tickets temporarily, you can only see a limited number of temporary open caves.

Other matters needing attention.

1. Don't wear short skirts and shorts when entering Buddhist holy places, such as Ta 'er Temple. It is recommended to wear trousers directly, and some skirts with bare ankles are not allowed.

2. There are Hui, Tibetan, Mongolian and other ethnic minority areas along the way. Please respect other national cultures.

3. When entering the pastoral area, cattle and sheep should borrow the road, and don't honk their horns. Wait slowly, just wait for the opportunity.
