Green waves roll under the Qilian Mountains, and pastoral songs rise above the white clouds

Geographical location The Qilian Grassland is located in Qilian County, Haibei Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province. It has an average altitude of more than 3,000 meters. It is one of the six most beautiful grasslands in China and is known as the "Little Switzerland of the East". 🚗Transportation method Self-driving: Starting from Xining, take the G227 National Highway (one of the most beautiful roads), about 4-5 hours drive, passing through Menyuan rapeseed flower sea and Ebao Ancient City. Public transportation: Take a bus from Xining Bus Station to Qilian County (about 5 hours), and then charter a car to visit the grassland. 🌿Best season June-August: The grassland is green, wild flowers are everywhere, and the climate is cool (15-25℃ during the day). September-October: Autumn colors are dyed, golden meadows and snow-capped mountains are set off, and photography is excellent. 📸Must-visit attractions 1. Zhuoer Mountain: Red rock Danxia and snow-capped mountain grasslands are intertwined, and you can overlook the panoramic view when you climb to the top. 2. Amidongso (Niuxin Mountain): One mountain to see the four seasons, snow-capped mountains, forests, and pastures coexist. 3. Ebao Ancient City: The ruins of the Silk Road, experience the millennium business travel culture. 4. Qilian Deer Farm: Asia's largest semi-wild deer herd, feeding sika deer at close range. 5. Heihe Grand Canyon: A magnificent canyon washed by glacial meltwater, suitable for hiking. ⚠️Precautions Altitude reaction: Avoid strenuous exercise, prepare oxygen cylinders and rhodiola rosea. Sun protection and warmth: Ultraviolet rays are strong, and the temperature difference between day and night is large, so you need to bring a jacket and sunglasses. Environmentally friendly travel: Do not step on the meadow, take away the garbage, and protect the fragile ecology. 📌Tips: Accommodation can be selected from grassland yurts (200-400 yuan/night) or Qilian County Hotel. Taste Tibetan hand-pulled lamb, butter tea, and experience horseback archery (about 50-100 yuan/time). It would be better to combine it with Qinghai Lake and Zhangye Danxia to form a 5-7 day loop.
