Qinghai-Gansu Grand Ring Road—Qilian/Zuer Mountain

Qinghai-Gansu Grand Ring Road—Qilian/Zuer Mountain💯🥰 ‼️Trip Style: Leisure travel, relaxation, no rush to see all the sights, good food and sleep, no early mornings, safety first☝🏻 🔥 ✅Qilian Mountains and Zuer Mountain are truly stunning😭 You must go😭😭😭The scenery along the way is the most beautiful!!! We weren't interested in the rapeseed flowers, so we skipped Biandukou and other similar attractions. 🌷 ✅This post mainly recommends accommodation. I believe many friends who have done their research have heard of "the back of Zuer Mountain". We happened to stay at the foot of the back mountain, 🏠Qilian Tianyu Jingdu Hotel🏠, which seems to be bookable only on Trip.com. Remember to book a landscape room with a balcony. It's amazing, with its own large rapeseed flower field. Why bother going to Biandukou? You can climb the back mountain next door to enjoy the scenery. It's absolutely fantastic. Even Laoding praised my choice of hotel. None of the surrounding hotels have such a good view😉 🏮 🌊Zuer Mountain: The hotel is very, very close to Entrance B. Zuer Mountain is truly beautiful, like a mountain and town from a fairy tale. It's absolutely amazing🥰 A must-visit if you have the chance. We actually stayed an extra day just for the scenery of Zuer Mountain, and it was definitely worth it😉 (PS: During the days we were there, there were both torrential rain and mudslides. Although we didn't encounter any of these, we were worried about extreme weather, so for safety reasons, we didn't go to Binggou Linhai and other less-developed attractions. Safety and life are paramount‼️) 🍰 The scenery on the way back to Xining from Qilian is also really beautiful. Even without sleep, looking at the scenery will lift your spirits. Isn't this the meaning of travel?😉
