Gannan is a land full of spirituality, as beautiful as a poem or painting.

It was rated by National Geographic as a must-see secret place in your lifetime. The scenery is as good as Tibet, but without the high altitude sickness. This is a very niche place. Endless grasslands and rugged cliffs In the transition zone between the eastern edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the Loess Plateau There is a secret place known as "Little Tibet" Especially after October, when autumn is in full swing [Transportation] 🚄 Take a high-speed train or ✈️ fly to Lanzhou, then rent a car or drive yourself, and enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way. [4-day, 3-night itinerary] Day 1: Lanzhou - Labrang Monastery - Ganga Secret Place Day 2: Ganga Secret Place - Sangke Grassland - Langmu Monastery Day 3: Langmu Monastery - Zhagana Day 4: Zhagana - Rock Road - Lanzhou ✅ Ganga Secret Place The grasslands and houses under the white stone cliffs are a very special sight, especially in the early morning when the mountains are shrouded in mist, like a fairyland. Deep in the secret place is an ancient city that is a thousand years old, a mysterious place of Buddhist relics - Bajiao Ancient City, also known as the "Eternal City". ✅ Labrang Monastery The second largest Tibetan temple complex in China after the Potala Palace. It retains the best Tibetan Buddhist teaching system in the country and is known as the "World Tibetan Academy". ✅ Sangke Grassland A colorful grassland with both hilly terrain and pastoral scenery, a treasure of Gannan, where you can experience the original pastoral life and customs of Tibetan herdsmen. It is just by the national highway, 0.5 hours drive from Xiahe County, and turns golden in autumn. ✅ Zhagana A hidden fairyland recommended by National Geographic, a fairy village hidden in the mountains. At first glance, it is a typical mountain valley and peaks in the Tibetan mountain area. Follow the scenic boardwalk up to the One Line Sky, and be amazed by the continuous scenery, Nie Gandawa Glacier Geological Park, Shenwang Temple, Marisongduo, Zhagana Stone Forest... ✅ Rock Road It feels like you have entered the world of the Lord of the Rings, with steep mountains and beautiful scenery everywhere, but the road conditions are a bit poor.
