“Recommend 10 travel destinations that I think are unpopular and interesting. After graduation, I did not go to work immediately. I chose to take a gap year Visited more than 100 cities in China - 2023 travel is open I guess most of the tourist attractions have too many tourists and commercialization. This article shares 9 niche travel destinations that healed me I hope you can go see it too. - ❶ Baisha Ancient Town Located in Lijiang, Yunnan; enjoy the sun, play with the cats, sit and drink coffee every day, and look up to see the snow-capped mountains. The temperature will be more comfortable from December to February, and there is real snow on Yulong Snow Mountain. . ❷Litang Located in Ganzi, Sichuan; the city in the sky at an altitude of 4,000 meters is not only a city, but also the undeveloped Genyen South Line nearby. It is surrounded by snow-capped mountains and lakes in spring and summer, and small wild flowers bloom all over the grassland. . ❸Zhagana Located in Gannan, Gansu; a hidden paradise, I think it is a bit like the Zhangjia Ancient Building in Banai; snow-capped mountains, holy lakes, blue sky, wilderness, quiet villages, cabins, yaks and sheep in the sea of ​​flowers, and smoke from cooking in the valley in the evening . ❹Rain collapse Located in Diqing, Yunnan; the stunning scenery is only visible on foot. The Cordyceps Line and the Shenhu Line walk under the Meili Snow Mountain and among the primeval forests, with squirrels, birds, glacier canyons, etc. . ❺ Leng Gacuo Located in Ganzi, Sichuan; Snow-capped White Horse, Starry River and Ever-bright ~ I have been to so many snow-capped mountains, but the King of Sichuan Mountains, Gongga, is so beautiful that it makes me "thrilled" . ❻Mount Everest Located in Shigatse, Tibet; it is said that anyone who sees the Golden Mountain in the Rising Sun will be lucky for the whole year!

## Gannan Travel Guide! 【Preface】 When the hustle and bustle of the city becomes the backdrop of daily life, there's always a pure land quietly waiting above 3,000 meters. Gannan, known as "Little Tibet" by travelers, weaves a dream of a distant land with its rolling grasslands, sacred monasteries, and simple smiles. This guide will take you into the nine-colored Gannan to experience the most authentic side of this land. 【Best Travel Season】 🌈 June-August: The most beautiful season for the grasslands, with green carpets stretching to the horizon, Gesang flowers blooming freely, and a cool summer with an average temperature of 18°C. 🍂 September-October: Autumn colors paint the mountains and forests, and Tibetan villages in the morning mist are as tranquil as oil paintings. This is the golden season for photography. ❄️ November-April: Fewer crowds and unique scenery. The holy scene of Labrang Monastery covered in snow is perfect for an in-depth cultural experience (be mindful of the cold weather). 【Top 5 Must-Do Experiences】 1️⃣ Spinning Prayer Wheels at Labrang Monastery Follow the red-robed lamas and spin the prayer wheels along the 3,800-meter prayer wheel corridor of the world's Tibetan Buddhist academy. Sunlight filters through the white pagodas, casting dappled shadows on the prayer flags, and the air is filled with the aroma of butter tea. 2️⃣ Hiking in Zhagana In the morning light of the "Stone City," hike along the Rock Trail through four Tibetan villages, pass by herders driving yak herds, and watch the sunset paint the rugged rocks gold at Fairy Beach. 3️⃣ Sky Burial at Langmusi Stand in silent reverence at the sky burial platform at an altitude of 3,600 meters, watch vultures circling, and experience the most primal return of life (please respect local customs, no photography or loud noises). 4️⃣ Horseback Riding on Sangke Grassland The grassland in July is like an overturned palette. Rent a Hequ horse and gallop through the sea of flowers. Stay in a black tent at night and listen to the herders sing the epic "King Gesar" around a bonfire. 5️⃣ Birdwatching at Gahai Lake During the migratory bird season, black-necked cranes and bar-headed geese dance in the wetlands, and the lake reflects the Ani Nyon Qing Mountains. The sound of camera shutters won't disturb the dreams of the water plants. 【Specialty Food List】 🔥 Must-try Trio: Fern-root rice (ginseng fruit mixed with butter rice), yak jerky, and tsampa with butter tea. 🍜 Heartwarming Delicacies: Tibetan steamed buns (juicy beef filling), highland barley wine (beware of the after-effects), and yak yogurt with sugar. 🍴 Recommended Restaurants: "Zongba Yongmu" Tibetan Restaurant in Hezuo City, apple pie at "Lisa Restaurant" in Langmusi. 【Accommodation Guide】 🏆 Quality Choice: Norden Camp (world-class luxury tent camp, reservations required six months in advance). 📿 Cultural Experience: Labrang Tibetan Homestay (converted from a prayer hall, the owner can tell stories about the monastery). 💰 Budget-friendly: Zhagana Tibetan Guesthouse (warm heated brick beds, open the window to a panoramic view of the stone mountains). 【Transportation Guide】 🚗 Recommended Self-drive: Rent a car in Lanzhou → Linxia → Hezuo → Diebu loop (about 600km in total). 🚌 Public Transportation: Direct buses from Lanzhou South Bus Station to Hezuo/Langmusi (3 buses daily). ⚠️ Note: Some county roads are prone to landslides during the rainy season, check road conditions in advance; chartered cars are about 500 yuan/day. 【Travel Tips】 • Altitude Sickness: Avoid washing your hair or showering on the first day, carry oral glucose solution. • Local Customs: Circumambulate clockwise, don't touch children's heads, don't wear short skirts in monasteries. • Clothing Guide: Large temperature difference between day and night, layer your clothing (windbreaker + fleece + sun hat). • Photography Reminder: Ask for permission before taking photos in monasteries, photography is strictly prohibited at sky burials. 【3-Day Classic Itinerary】 D1: Lanzhou → Labrang Monastery (4h) → Sangke Grassland (stay in a tent). D2: Gahai Lake → Langmusi Town (explore the source of the Bailong River) (stay in a Tibetan inn). D3: Zhagana sunrise → Diebu → Return. When prayer flags chant scriptures in the wind at the mountain pass, and when Mani stones stand silent in the twilight, you will understand why some say: "Gannan is a miniature version of Tibet, but a magnifying glass for faith." There's no superficiality of internet-famous check-in spots here, only the thousand-year cycle of prayer wheels turning, waiting for you to measure with your footsteps and resonate with your heartbeat.

Hey everyone 👋! I'm that travel enthusiast who loves wandering around the world 😎. I just got back from Gannan, and this April journey was like a beautiful dream I never wanted to wake up from. Let me share this detailed travel guide with you. 📍 Gannan, located on the northeastern edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in southwestern Gansu, is like a pure land forgotten by the world. Here you'll find vast endless grasslands, lush with greenery that seems to heal all fatigue. Sacred snow-capped mountains glisten in the sunlight, exuding mystery and majesty. Deep lakes mirror the blue sky and white clouds, creating dreamlike scenes. 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. Some areas of Labrang Monastery are free. 👗 April is still cold in Gannan. Bring down jackets, hiking clothes, thermal pants, and non-slip waterproof hiking boots. Don't forget sunglasses and sunscreen - UV rays are strong at high altitude. 📸 For stargazing photos, find a place without light pollution like hotel rooftops and bring a tripod. For mountain sunrise shots, check timing and secure spots early. 🍜 Local Food Recommendations 🥘 Gannan Tibetan Dumplings: Mainly lamb filling, handmade with thin skin and juicy filling. 🍜 Yak Hot Pot: Made with premium yak bones and meat, rich broth with local wild vegetables. 🥣 Butter Tea: Traditional Tibetan drink, salty and rich, warms the body and helps with altitude sickness. 🐟 Tibetan Grilled Fish: Uniquely spiced, tender with crispy skin. 🥔 Tuo Tuo Meat: Large chunks of cooked pork with dipping sauce. 🏨 Accommodation 📍 Near Labrang Monastery: Xiahe Labrang Civil Aviation Hotel, great location, spacious rooms. 📍 Langmu Temple Town: Langmu Temple Hotel, central location with town views. 📍 Zhagana: Zhagana Cloud Stay Guesthouse, Tibetan style with natural views. 💖 Travel Impressions These three days in Gannan felt like entering a secluded paradise.
