Beijing-Gannan D9ii Ganja Secret Realm

Drive 35km from Xiahe to Ganja Secret Realm, 50 minutes Keep driving forward to reach Baishiya Canyon and Cave, 15km, 30 minutes After coming out of the cave, continue forward to reach the national highway, so there is no need to backtrack when visiting Ganja Secret Realm. There is a particularly steep slope on the way to Baishiya Canyon. If the car can't make it up, you will have to return the same way. I didn't need a ticket to enter Ganja Secret Realm, and the entrance to the Octagonal Ancient City Ruins is also free. Climbing up the viewing platform, you can see the outline of the Octagonal City faintly! The distant cliffs look like a stone forest (Baishiya is in that direction). The distant wheat fields are neatly arranged, quietly lying between the mountains, beside the ancient city! There are horse riding and coffee stalls by the city, but no resting places. Continuing deeper into Baishiya, one car couldn't make it up, not sure if it was due to altitude sickness or weight. There are scattered soldiers at Baishiya charging a parking fee of 10 yuan, parking is tight, and there are spots by the cliff where you can park in advance. Baishiya is also free, there is a stream flowing between the canyons, and many people are camping. Near the boardwalk, I found a large marmot, which is not afraid of people.
