8-Day Trip to Gannan | Cost Breakdown
Last month, my friend and I spent 8 days in Gansu's Gannan, living neither extravagantly nor frugally, with an average cost of about 3000 yuan per person.
Accommodation was roughly 600 yuan, transportation about 900 yuan, entrance fees around 200 yuan, meals approximately 700 yuan, and the remaining expenses were for miscellaneous items, all of which are per person costs (our trip was from June 7th to 15th).
I. The main transportation was by plane, with the outbound flight from Urumqi in Xinjiang to Lanzhou, and the return flight from Chengdu to Guangzhou. The round-trip including tax and fuel was 230 yuan, purchased as part of China Southern Airlines' 'Travel Around China' package (4+1 group price of 3399 yuan, flew 11 times, visited Xinjiang, Gansu, Sichuan, Shanxi, Fujian, Hainan, Henan, and Liaoning).
1. Other transportation was mainly by bus and chartered car, with bus segments being: Lanzhou to Xiahe 80.5 yuan, Zoige to Chengdu 172 yuan, Xiahe to Hezuo 22 yuan, Hezuo to Diebu 72 yuan.
2. Chartered car segments were: Xiahe to Bajiaocheng 260 yuan, Diebu to Zhagana 150 yuan, Zhagana to Langmusi 150 yuan, Langmusi to Zoige 150 yuan, Zoige to the Yellow River's First Bend 400 yuan (got ripped off).
II. Accommodation averaged about 600 yuan per person, mostly staying in standard rooms (we were two girls), between 100-250 yuan. Mid-June is not yet the peak tourist season for Gannan and Western Sichuan (July and August are), so accommodation prices were not very expensive.
For example, we stayed at the Yanggongkuo Hotel in Xiahe for 146 yuan a night, at the Dawa Shengjie Homestay in Zhagana for 137 yuan a night, at the Linjiang Holiday Hotel in Langmusi for 171 yuan a night, at the 8090 Hotel in Zoige for 112 yuan a night, and at the Mingshanju Hotel in Chengdu, which was slightly more expensive, 238 yuan a night.
III. The average cost of meals was about 700 yuan per person. We had a Tibetan meal in Xiahe, ate Tibetan fragrant pork in Zhagana for 90 yuan per jin, lamb soup for 100 yuan per jin, had two meals of yak meat hotpot in Langmusi, each costing 150 yuan and 162 yuan (group purchase package), and in Chengdu, since we stayed near Shuangliu Airport, we group purchased a Lin Hao Old Mother Rabbit Head package for 145 yuan. Overall, we did not deliberately save on food during the trip.
IV. Other expenses were mainly taxi fares and the purchase of local specialties.
This trip to Gannan and Western Sichuan was 8 days, but excluding the travel days, we actually only had 6 days. The cost feels similar to the off-season prices for traveling in Xinjiang (before going to Gansu, we spent 15 days in Yili and Turpan in Xinjiang, excluding the travel days, it was 13 days, with a total average cost of about 5000 yuan per person). Now, during the summer peak season, accommodation prices in Gannan have probably increased several times.
风景很棒,虽然我们去的时候是阴天,但还是被风景给这震撼了,还是推荐 7、8 月份来吧,五一过去草确实不是很绿,但是只有五一有时间😢
赶着凌晨12点前进入上山,门票买过之后凭票进入,还要在开车有较长一段距离,路况晚上视野较差,需要开车小心,但是即使深夜,也依旧灯火通明。
扎尕那景区是自然景区,进入景区大门后感觉很好,风光旖旎,里面有许多民宿,有不同价位可选择,在民宿里就能够看到外面的景色,值得推荐
这次五一的甘南之旅很是难忘,最美的景色大部分在路上,所以有一个靠谱的司机太重要了。感谢这次的司机李师傅,车技高,待人真诚热情,服务贴心周到。是一次很好的旅行体验。
摄影爱好者的天堂,随手拍就是大片,我刚回来
个人感觉很好,景虽然是四月份,草还没绿,但是景色一样很美。遇到当地村民纯朴善良,进入景区入住的旅行者之家,房间位置很好,就是老板娘不讲诚信,入住之前说好的给开地暖,可能是看我们住一宿半夜就把暖气给关掉了。早餐也极难吃,多亏我们去外面打包了拉面。但是没有影响到扎尕那的美。唯一不足就是景区提示牌太少,有点懵
1、扎尕那不愧为人间净土,从每一个不同的地方观察,都能得到不一样的美的体验,让人沉醉。2、晚上住民宿,房东特别热情,房间有电热褥、空调,住了一晚,很温暖很舒适。
