On the Tourism from Lanzhou to Gannan on May 1st.

There are seven counties and one city in Gannan, depending on how long you plan to play. If you go on the third day of May Day, don't go too far. Just turn a corner at Xiahe and Yeliguan. It's no problem to take the bus, but be sure to watch the weather forecast a few days in advance. Take your clothes. Because there is a big temperature difference there. Sun protection is indispensable, so is cold protection. There is still a strong ghee smell in the street over there, and everyone is not used to it.

To go to Xiahe, you can take a bus at South Station earlier. When you arrive, you can go directly to Labrang Temple, and then stroll around the street, because there is nothing to see in the grassland at this time. You can also inquire about Dazong Lake, surround the lake in the afternoon and live in Xiahe at night. I went to Yeliguan by bus the next day, and I can go back to Lanzhou in the afternoon.

It seems that there is no direct bus to Jiuzhai in Gannan at present.
