Where is Zhagana in Gansu?

Zhagana, located in Yiwa Township, more than 30 kilometers northwest of Diebu County, Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Gansu Province, means "stone box" in Tibetan.

Zhaga is a Tibetan village. These four villages are called Dali, Bade, Yeri and Dongwa. Each village is a small two-story building built with wooden boards, which is built on the mountain, with rows of prayer flags fluttering in the wind.

Xiufeng around the village is arched, and the peak pierces the blue sky like a knife, like a high, heavy and indestructible city wall, surrounding the four villages and one temple in Zhagana. Dongwa Village and Lasang Temple are located in the middle of Shicheng. In 2009, chinese national geography magazine published a list of "Looking for the Top Ten Unknown Peaks", and Zagana Mountain ranked fourth.

It is said that Zhaga is a magical place. No matter what the weather is, it can present the most beautiful appearance. Zhagana in the deep mountains of Gannan is shrouded in mist all the year round, and the village is quiet, just like a fairyland. Gannan is full of flowers, the fragrance is clear at a glance, the beauty is step by step, and it is picturesque everywhere! Gannan, known as "Little Tibet", is worth a visit.

geographical environment

There are three beautiful peaks around Zagana Village, which are lush and green, like a high, thick and indestructible wall, surrounding the four villages and one temple in Zagana City. On the hillside, Tibetan villages and Tibetan tatami wooden houses are stacked on top of each other, but they fly with the wind through banners. Dongwa Village and Lasang Temple are located in the center of Shicheng.

In the upper left corner of the city, there is also a north gate. When you leave the city, you enter the mountain. It is a steep narrow rocky road formed by the Rocky Mountain fault, which runs north and south, with a length of 100 meters and a width of only a few meters. On both sides of the stone gorge are vertical and straight rock walls, and a stream of water hangs down like thunder. This road is the only way for Taodie Ancient Road.

Due to the south of Shicheng, it is a "gate" for the confrontation between Shicheng and Shishan, and the four villages of Zhaga and Taodie Ancient Road must pass through this gate. Outside the city gate is a north-south ten-mile canyon, just like the promenade outside the city. At the southern end of the promenade, there are two symmetrical stone walls, which are 100 meters high, just like two giant "gate piers", forming the majestic "front door" of Shicheng, which is called "the gate of hell".
