If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would find it hard to imagine an archery competition could be so magnificent and passionate by the Yellow River under the blue sky. I was fortunate to arrive in Jianzha County, Qinghai, just in time for the 8th "Five-Colored Divine Arrows" International Ethnic Traditional Archery Invitational. The competition was held right by the Yellow River, surrounded by mountains on all sides, with the sky as clear as a huge sapphire. The wind blew, and the fluttering prayer flags mixed with the cheers of the audience, stirring the heart. This grand event gathered over 2,300 archers from 25 countries and more than 20 provinces in the "China Arrow Capital" Jianzha, holding a competition to make friends through archery. The competition was spectacular, with every archer full of spirit and performing at their best. The contestants dressed in ethnic costumes, drawing their bows and releasing arrows, as if traveling through time back to the ancient pastoral era. The sound of the bowstrings vibrating blended with the echoes from the distant mountains, creating a power that moved the soul. Standing among the crowd, watching arrow after arrow hit the target precisely, each hit accompanied by applause and cheers, I felt a sense of awe—it was not just a competition, but a cultural heritage being passed down and continued. What impressed me most were the smiling faces of the children by the sidelines, imitating the bow-drawing movements, their eyes full of longing. At that moment, I understood the meaning of the "Five-Colored Divine Arrows": it is not just a competition, but a continuation of ethnic memory, the purest connection between people and nature. Sometimes, the meaning of travel is touched in moments like these. The sky of Jianzha, the trajectory of the arrows, the cheers and laughter—all became the brightest stroke in my memory.

Jianzha County, under the jurisdiction of Huangnan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, is one of the lesser-known travel destinations in Qinghai. Many may recognize Jianzha for the Kanbula National Forest Park and Lijiaxia Reservoir, but the county town itself is worth exploring. As we drove near the town, we were immediately captivated by the artistic scenery along the Yellow River. ▼ First Glimpse of Jianzha's Riverside Beauty While people often say "The Yellow River is clearest in Guide," this phrase fits Jianzha just as well. Starting from Tongren City, we drove along G213, where the Longwu River merges into the Yellow River before reaching Jianzha. The river's crystal-clear waters mirrored the sky, riverside buildings, forests, and the unique natural landscape—colorful Danxia formations. We spotted a uniquely shaped tree leaning perfectly for a photo op by the river. Posing with it, we became part of the picturesque scene, capturing the moment with our camera—freezing the artistry and adding a poetic touch. Later, we learned from the map that this area is being developed into the "First Bend of the Yellow River Scenic Area." At the time, we were simply drawn in by the unspoiled beauty. ▼ Riverside Park: A Glimpse of Local Life Continuing our journey, we arrived at Riverside Park by dusk, discovering it as a favorite local leisure spot. Grandparents cycled with their grandchildren, friends gathered for photos, and ducks played by the boardwalk—every scene exuded simple, everyday charm. The park, built around the Yellow River's wetlands, features clean, elegant surroundings with riverside trails perfect for walking or exercise. Opposite the park stands the majestic Danxia Mountains—a striking sight for visitors, though locals might take it for granted. Before leaving, we noticed a unique statue and later learned that Jianzha is China's only "Hometown of Ethnic Archery." Additionally, it serves as a high-altitude training base for rowing and canoeing. As a sports-centric town, Jianzha has much to offer for deeper exploration. 🚙 Practical Road Trip Tips 📱 Navigation: Set "Riverside Park" as your destination. 🛣️ Road Conditions: Mostly paved, with some sections under construction. 🅿️ Parking: Designated parking areas outside Riverside Park. ⏳ Suggested Duration: Allow about 2 hours for exploration. ▶️ All photos are originally shot and produced by Mr. Mougou & Caicai Juaner. ▶️ The above content is based on personal travel experiences; kindly overlook any omissions. ▶️ Some scenes may have changed due to time; check for current conditions. ▶️ All destinations visited by Caicai Juaner & Mr. Mougou are accessible by sedan. ▶️ Address details are provided by the website; leave a comment for further inquiries. 🔸🔹🔸 Join Caicai Juaner and Mr. Mougou on a road trip to uncover hidden gems!

Nature has no reservations about us and we do the same to it This is why this B&B "rises from the ground" in the color of Huangshi Low-key and natural blend The entire interior space design gives me the most feeling of Accompanied by two sounds and clouds outside the window Sitting on the sofa, hot tea, music, stove The rustling sound of chatter Spent my best weekend And those things that are beyond words to describe Such as the half-yellow and half-green grassland Like the fog that comes and goes in front of the window I don’t love humans less, but I love nature more. Written after leaving Just shoot and the film will be released Suitable for plain and solid color clothes There is a big temperature difference between morning and evening, so you need to bring thick clothes There is floor heating indoors, so you can wear a skirt to take super nice photos. The food cooked at the B&B is delicious Casserole prairie lamb Who knows how to drink - How comforting is a bowl of hot soup Stir-fried yak meat is slightly sweet and cumin-flavored, with more meat than chili peppers Sweet and sour pork loin is average but retains the crispiness of the outer layer compared to the market. The area is so delicious Yak yogurt is super mellow, if you want to eat it all the time The public area of ​​the B&B is perfect for daze Clouds and Wine, the atmosphere is so comfortable whether during the day or at night, and it’s also perfect for filming. Clouds and Meals: Jing Jifeng’s design and wood tones combine to create a “Zen-tea-only” feeling Cloud and Book are in a space in the middle area of ​​the corridor. There is a comfortable tatami where you can read a book. Observation deck allows you to see mountains and temples in the distance and look in all directions The guest room area includes double rooms, twin rooms, parent-child rooms, etc. Each room is named after a Tibetan name. One room, one view, simple and basic style I live in "Ouzhu" and I looked up the Tibetan word for "things follow one's wishes" or "cornucopia". But I prefer "doing things as one wishes", which is closer to my recent state of mind.

I really needed a vacation like this to comfort myself after being so busy these days. I drove two hours with my sister to the beautiful "Lingxiu Jianzha" on the weekend. Although there was a drizzle on the road, But it did not affect the misty scenery in the mountains at all. After successfully arriving at "Muyun Star" Two staff members came towards us and presented us with a noble Hada, which gave us a very ceremonial experience. The overall style of the homestay is very Tibetan aesthetic. From the exterior, the building feels like an art gallery. Whether it is from the aesthetic display or the soft furnishings arrangement, there is a comfortable, soft and immersive atmosphere. When I first learned about Jianzha County It should be from the movie "Five Colored Magic Arrows" directed by Wangma Caidan. You can also see many elements of Tibetan traditional culture in this homestay. I'm so thankful today is a great rainy day I am looking forward to having such a healing weekend with almost only the sounds of nature outside the window. I was sitting on the sofa by the window, working, while my sister Tingyu was sitting on the bed, reading a book... It was a wonderful weekend. The next day we woke up and had breakfast The entire valley not far away was filled with clouds and mist. It really feels like living in a fairyland. It makes people unable to take their eyes off and feel the life they long for, walking in the mist between the mountains. In fact, our lives are filled with trivial matters. It is necessary to have such an environment. Keep your inner peace, calm your inner voice and regain your curiosity about the world Go hiking in nature, read, observe plants and creatures, feel the wind, and go to the mountains where you can touch the clouds. This is often the scenery and experience. Only in this way can we calm down and feel the world and love life. "Walking on the cement floor for a long time The feeling of stepping on the grass suddenly is really great. This place is very suitable for a weekend nature therapy short trip with family and friends. : Two hours drive about 120 kilometers :Navigation Qinghai Province Huangnan Prefecture Jianzha County Nengke Township Degan Village "Muyunxingxiu"

Enter from the east entrance and exit from the west entrance of Qinghai Kanbula National Geopark, then follow the navigation to Jiangxi Gou Town, Qinghai Lake. The journey is breathtakingly beautiful! The scenery of Kanbula National Geopark is impeccable. It has unique Danxia landform earth forest, colorful dense coniferous and broad-leaved mixed forest in late autumn, ancient religious culture, majestic power station dam, and beautiful canyon reservoir area. It combines natural and cultural landscapes in one. It is important to emphasize here that the Kanbula Scenic Area is located on National Highway 310. If you want to visit, you need to spend 45 yuan to buy a ticket to enter the scenic area's sightseeing platform. If you are passing by, tell the staff that you are going to Guide, do not enter the sightseeing platform (there are people checking tickets in the sightseeing platform parking lot), take a photo of the license plate, and pass through the scenic area within an hour and a half, and you don't need to buy a ticket. For me, this is not a problem. I came here specifically and bought a boat ticket to board the boat for a tour at Nanzonggou Pier. Frankly speaking, I can see a lot of scenery while passing by, especially the colorful mountains in late autumn. But in my personal opinion, the view on the sightseeing platform is indeed better, and the Danxia earth forest viewed up close in Nanzonggou is even more shocking. After exiting Nanzonggou, we headed towards Guide and followed the Amap map to navigate to Xigou, Qinghai Lake. Unexpectedly, the scenery along the way was so beautiful that we stopped and took photos along the way. The 3-hour journey turned into almost 5 hours.

Kanbula National Forest is a great place in Qinghai to see unbelievable mountains, gorges and nature. But to go there by car you need certain driving skills and a good vehicle. We tried to reach the top starting from Kanbula Town on the East side. You can climb up well to the sightseeing platform above the dam for the Yellow River. Enjoy the view and spend some time to charge your batteries for the next hour of driving. The winding road up to the first village of Lade will be challenging since the road is narrow and the street conditions are not good. Drive slowly will give your passengers time to enjoy the stunning view above the dam but the driver should keep the eyes on the road. While climbing up the street condition got unfortunately worse and at the last serpentine we gave up since the road changed into a partial gravel road. Plenty of people made it and will surely enjoy the top of the mountain and the streets after. If you are not skilled, you may try the other road from Guide and you can also reach the top after many winding roads. #drive #qinghai #mountain
