To get to Yeliguan, you can take a bus from Lanzhou South bus station, which will take you there in under three hours. From there you can easily walk around the little town or take a taxi to the forest park. To get to the forest park you first have to climb the mountain. It really is too long to climb, so I suggest you go by car or hire a taxi. Once on top of the mountain you can explore on foot on the wooden walkways. If you are looking for a place to stay or eat, you can go to Yeliguan town. It's a small town of only two main streets and a couple of side alleys, but you can find a couple of hotels and quite a few Chinese restaurants. There is also a tourist information center, where the staff is more than happy to help. #culturalattraction

Legend has it for a long time, let alone delusion. But the Danxia geological landscape, which appeared alone in a gray stone, is waiting for the interpretation of modern tourists and scholars.

Tibetan Buddhist culture is deeply rooted here - from golden temple roofs to fluttering prayer flags and devout believers - the religious atmosphere permeates everything. Gannan is truly a profound dialogue between soul and nature. 🚗 Transportation Guide ✈️ Most people choose to fly to Lanzhou Zhongchuan International Airport first, then transfer by plane or bus to Gannan. You can also fly directly to Xiahe Airport - though there are fewer flights, it's closer to some attractions. From there, take a taxi or airport shuttle to quickly reach the scenic areas. 🚌 If time allows and you want to enjoy the scenery along the way, take a long-distance bus from Lanzhou to Gannan. You'll see beautiful alpine meadows and forested valleys, though be prepared for a long journey. 🚕 Within Gannan, there are buses between counties but with limited schedules. Hiring a private car is more flexible and convenient, allowing you to stop at scenic spots whenever you want for photos. 🗺 Recommended Itinerary Day 1: Labrang Monastery - Sangke Grassland Morning: Visit Labrang Monastery, known as the "World Institute of Tibetan Studies." This massive monastery has endless prayer wheel corridors, devout pilgrims, and stunning architecture, murals, and butter sculptures. Noon: Try Gannan Tibetan dumplings with their thin skin and juicy lamb filling 😋. Afternoon: Head to Sangke Grassland, where April brings fresh green grass like a velvet carpet. Go horseback riding, feel the wind and freedom, and take endless photos 📷. Day 2: Langmu Temple - Namo Grand Canyon Morning: Visit Langmu Temple, which straddles Gansu and Sichuan provinces, separated by a small stream. The peaceful town features temple golden roofs gleaming in the sunlight. Noon: Enjoy yak hot pot in Langmu town - delicious and nourishing. Afternoon: Explore Namo Grand Canyon with its deep valleys, strange rocks, and mysterious Fairy Cave, like entering a paradise. Day 3: Zhagana - Return Daytime: Visit Zhagana, a stone city hidden in deep mountains, mystical in the clouds. Walk along the plank roads among steep peaks and Tibetan villages, breathing the fresh mountain air. Afternoon: Pack up and head home with wonderful memories. 🌟 5 Must-Visit Spots 📍 Labrang Monastery: One of the six major monasteries of the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism, rich in religious culture and architectural art. 📍 Sangke Grassland: Representative of Gannan's grasslands, rich in vegetation and ethnic customs. 📍 Langmu Temple: Blends Sichuan and Gansu styles, with a leisurely town and majestic temple. 📍 Namo Grand Canyon: Natural wonder combining canyons, forests, and caves. 📍 Zhagana: A mysterious "stone city" paradise with stunning scenery and unique folk customs. 📌 Practical Tips 🎫 Book tickets online in advance to avoid queues.

When the snow-capped mountains turn clouds into prayer flags, the wind is writing 10,000 love poems. The Mani stones are silent postmen, signing for heartbeats for all lost eyes. 🌌 You ride your horse through the folds of dusk. The light from the horseshoes awakens the hibernating stars under the meadow. The bonfire is hungover on the edge of the Tibetan village, and the butter tea floats with the warmth of a stranger's palm print. 🌠 The prayer wheel path of Labrang Monastery is a Möbius strip. On the 108th circle, someone chants a prayer as a password. The moment you turn around, the moonlight is cutting open the gilded face of the prayer wheel. 💧 The lake of Zoige is an inverted galaxy. We stand on either side of the mirror, practicing eye contact, until a migratory bird brings a grain of last year's snow, shattering all the carefully planned loneliness. ✨ At an altitude of 3,000m, the oxygen becomes thin, and the encounter begins to ferment. The yak carries the hormones of the entire prairie, brewing "chance" into a verb with a highland barley flavor. 🌾 Come on— Let the prayer flags deconstruct the code of the wind for us, Let the curve of Maqu become a steep metaphor for fate, Let every seed of Gesang flower ambush the possibility of a spring riot.
