[Northwest Self-Driving Series -2] From the Amigunghong Ranch, all the way through the Sanke grassland, we arrived at the Ganga grassland on the north bank of the Daxia River. Surrounded by mountains, Ganga grassland is the ideal plateau natural pasture. I prefer this ecological camp in Ganga Grassland to the Nordan camp in the Sanke Grassland, which was donated to the poverty alleviation project in Ganga Township, Xiahe County, by CNOOC Investment Construction. [Rainbow] Highlights recommend the camping base located in the center of the grassland, overlooking Baishiya, adjacent to the ancient city of Octagon. In the morning, the morning mist between the valleys is small, and the sunset on the white cliff in the evening is shining. It is probably the beautiful scenery that will smile in the dream. [Pyrse] The price of accommodation is different according to the room type, 1800-5000/room/night, including breakfast and evening meals. [Pushpin] Play Tips: This is suitable for vacation, enjoy slowly, avoid running around the so-called attractions. 1/ Open the window in the morning, enjoy the breeze across the grassland, read a book on the terrace, taste tea, and start a leisurely day; 2/Taste the Tibetan specialties that integrate Western-style practices in the restaurant window; 3/Drive around the Ganga grassland, there are scenery everywhere, you don't necessarily have to go to the attractions to check in; 4/Watch the sunset of the sunset, the red and white stone cliffs and sunsets are beautiful. #Hidden Hotel #Wild Luxury Hotel Award #Small Discovery Society #These hotel views are awesome
