The first stop of the Qinghai-Gansu Grand Loop is Sun Moon Mountain. The shock you see with your own eyes cannot be described in words.

It is very cost-effective. You don’t have to worry about the road conditions and itinerary, and you can focus on taking photos and checking in Tips for taking photos of prayer flags in Sun Moon Mountain ❶The best spot for taking photos is under the prayer flags. Don’t take photos at the entrance of the scenic area. It’s really shocking under the prayer flags! ❷ Be sure to take photos of the prayer flags when there is wind. Open your arms and shoot upward to avoid the crowd. With the live photo effect, any photo you take will be a big picture.
