Zhangye started from Shanghai, and the main places he wanted to visit were Danxia, Crescent Moon Spring in Mingsha Mountain and Qinghai Lake. How to arrange on the road?

Hello, I wonder what your mode of travel is?

You can go to Lanzhou, Gansu by plane or train (of course, you can also go directly to Xining), and then I suggest you go to Qinghai Lake in Xining, Qinghai, because this journey is much closer than going directly to Zhangye. If you go from Zhangye to Xining, you are actually turning back.

After visiting Qinghai Lake, you can take a bus from Xining Station to Zhangye and cross Qilian Mountain, which takes about seven hours by car.

In Zhangye, you can consider whether to visit nearby. Personally, I think the scenic spot recommended by Zhangye is Danxia (it takes about an hour by car at Zhangye West Station, but there are only four buses every day, so the time will be inconvenient. It is true that Danxia is the most beautiful in the sunset, but it may be too late to return to the city at night, so you can consider staying at Shandan Military Racecourse (the first racecourse in Asia).

Then you can take a bus from Zhangye Railway Station to Dunhuang and then go back to Shanghai.

I can only give you a general planning suggestion. It depends on your arrangement of train time connection.

You can keep asking questions. I hope I can help you.
