What travelers say:
The scenery is great. Although it was cloudy when we went, it was still shocked by the scenery. It is recommended to come in July and August. The grass is really not very green in the past on May 1st, but only May 1st has time. 😢

Zhagana Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Zagana, also known as Zagala, is located in Diebu County, Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture. The ancient wooden Tibetan houses in the village are built along the mountains, and the local people work quietly and simply among the hillsides and rivers, forming a wonderful pastoral scenery. Whether sightseeing, photography, or visiting the traditional life of the simple Tibetan people, it is a wonderful place not to be missed. Zhagana is located in the valley of Yiwa Township, Diebu County. It takes about 1 hour by car from Diebu County and about 2 hours from Langmusi. Zagana is suitable for visiting in July and August. At this time, the grassland is green and the scenery is beautiful. Generally, most tourists come from Langmusi when they take the Gannan and Sichuan routes. The regular time to visit is to arrive in the afternoon and take a leisurely stroll through the village to enjoy the view. Stay in a Tibetan homestay for one night, and leave after shooting the morning clouds and sunrise the next morning. In addition, there is a two-day trekking route in the back mountain of Zhagana, which can be rented in the village or on foot. Zhagana Village is further divided into four small villages. From bottom to top, they are Dongwa Village, Yeri Village, Dari Village and Daiba Village. The distance between Dongwa Village and Daiba Village is about 5 kilometers. The road connects four villages. You can walk or drive to visit and take pictures one by one. It takes about 1 hour to walk from the bottom to the top. Entering by car from the entrance of the village, the first thing to arrive is Dongwa Village at the foot of the mountain. There is a big stone called Dashimen. The hillside next to Dashimen is a suitable place for taking pictures. Here, you can take pictures of the beautiful scenery of the village built along the mountains. The back of the village is wrapped by cliffs, and at the top of the village is a Tibetan Buddhist monastery. The scenery is fantastic and beautiful. Dongwa Village has a large population and is also a good place to stay. You can set up accommodation in the farmhouse here, and then walk or drive to the higher villages. It takes about 1 hour to walk to the higher places. Going up the mountain along the road is Yeri Village. There is an open barley field next to Yeri Village. You can often see scenes of Tibetan people busy in the fields, and the scene is peaceful and simple. In addition, there is a house in Yeri Village where the famous traveler Joseph Locke once lived for more than a year, but now it can only be visited outside. Continue to move forward, and after passing through Dari Village, there is a viewing platform with a wide field of view, which is suitable for taking pictures of the whole village. You can see the whole village and the fantastic rock wall behind it. All the houses are built with old wooden roofs and earthen walls. Wonderful place. After shooting the panorama, you can retreat back to Dongwa Village for accommodation. Due to the relatively remote terrain, Daiba Village has less scenery to see, so you can skip it. In addition to taking a lap in the afternoon, Zagana has a lot of content to look forward to. Every morning, there are clouds and mists lingering between the rock walls on the mountain, and the starry sky when the lights are dead at night is also beautiful and splendid, which is a good opportunity to take pictures. If you have enough time, you can also take 1-2 hours to climb the back mountain of Dongwa Village to see the temple on the top of the mountain. The houses passing by are all ancient buildings, and the wooden wedge-riveted structure is even more ancient and peculiar. If you are lucky, you can meet the kind-hearted local people, and you will be invited to your home to taste traditional food such as tsampa butter tea and experience the simplicity and enthusiasm of the local people. In addition, there is a two-day hiking route behind the village, which can lead to untouched lakes and stone forests, with pristine and beautiful scenery. However, this route is only suitable for outdoor enthusiasts and requires a night of camping. When walking this route, you can rent a horse in the village and ask a groom to lead the way. Generally, a horse costs about 150 yuan a day.

Frequently Asked Questions About Zhagana
Zhagana Photos: Trip Moments
8-Day Trip to Gannan | Cost BreakdownLast 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.HarperLncstr

Zha Ga NaIn Tibetan, it means 'stone box'. The terrain is both like a large-scale giant palace and a naturally built rock wall. If you want to see the beautiful Zha Ga Na, you have to go early to the viewing platform at the high point of Zha Ga Na, wait for the sunrise, and you can see the full view of Zha Ga Na and the village with curling smoke. Zha Ga Na has a steep mountain, surrounded by clouds and mist, like a fairyland. Inside the Tibetan village, various production activities such as nomadic, farming, hunting, and logging are reasonably matched and complement each other, becoming a scene of harmonious coexistence between man and nature. After going down the mountain, walk along the plank road, climb up to the Fairy Beach, if you have the strength and time, spend another 40 yuan to take a scenic ride to places like 'Tiger's Mouth' and 'One Line Sky', remind you that, 'Fairy Lake' is an independent route, it takes an hour to walk one way!HALLIE HAYES

Depart from Chengdu to Gannan~ The beautiful scenery is on the way🗓Itinerary: On the first day of the holiday, depart from Chengdu, the first stop is planned to be Zhagana. Plan to take the Wenma Expressway and then pass through Hongyuan, Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, and Zoige, Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture. Although I have taken this route many times, the scenery along the way has never disappointed. Set off early in the morning, and get on the Duwen Expressway in an hour. After passing Yingxiu, it rained heavily all the way, and the sky was still very gloomy when I arrived in Hongyuan County. Who knew that after having lunch in Hongyuan County at twelve o'clock, the sky suddenly cleared up. The sky after the heavy rain is especially beautiful. The mood is also as open as this vast grassland. 🌟Recommended classic scenic spots along the way: Hongyuan—Zoige Prairie First Bend of the Yellow River Hongyuan Moon Bay Emei Pond Flower Sea Scenic Area (I went there in June a few years ago, the flowers were in full bloom, there may not be many flowers this season)Mr. Floy Thiel DDS

The scenery is great. Although it was cloudy when we went, it was still shocked by the scenery. It is recommended to come in July and August. The grass is really not very green in the past on May 1st, but only May 1st has time. 😢
I rushed to enter the mountain before 12 am. After buying the ticket, I entered with the ticket. I had to drive for a long distance. The road conditions were poor at night and I needed to drive carefully, but even late at night, it was still brightly lit.
Zhagana Scenic Area is a natural scenic area. After entering the gate of the scenic area, it feels very good. The scenery is beautiful. There are many homestays inside. There are different prices to choose from. You can see the outside scenery in the homestay. It is recommended
This trip to Gannan on May 1st is very unforgettable. Most of the most beautiful scenery is on the road, so it is too important to have a reliable driver. Thanks to the driver Li, who is high in car skills, sincere and enthusiastic, and thoughtful service. It is a good travel experience.
A photography lover's paradise, just shoot a blockbuster, I just came back
Personally feel very good, although the scenery is April, the grass is not green, but the scenery is as beautiful. Encountered the simple and kind local villagers, the traveler's home where the scenic spot was entered, the room location was very good, that is, the proprietress did not speak integrity, and said that the floor heating was turned off before the check-in. It may be that we turned off the heating in the middle of the night. Breakfast is also very unpalatable, thanks to our outside to pack ramen. But it did not affect the beauty of Zhagana. The only downside is that there are too few warning signs in the scenic spot, a bit awkward
1. Zhagana is worthy of being a pure land on the earth. From every different place to observe, you can get a different beautiful experience, which makes people intoxicated. 2. Staying at the B&B at night, the landlord was very enthusiastic, the room had electric heating and air conditioning, and stayed for one night, very warm and comfortable.
