Is it true that no one goes to the Northwest in May?

May in the northwest is the transition between spring and summer, and the climate is gradually getting warmer, but it may still be a little cool. In this season, you can enjoy a variety of natural landscapes such as snow-capped mountains, grasslands, and Gobi Desert. For example, at the foot of the Qilian Mountains, you can see the beautiful scenery of the snow-capped mountains where the snow has not completely melted and the grasslands complementing each other; in the Gobi Desert, although it is desolate, you can also feel a unique desolate beauty. Whether you like natural scenery or cultural landscape, or want to taste delicious food and experience folk culture, this place can meet your needs.
