Trust me! You must go here in June, it's as good as Altay!!

On this planet, there is a land kissed by God, woven with boundless emerald green and the distant blue sky, crafting the most tender dreams in the traveler's heart. This is the Qilian Mountain Grassland, a place where the soul can soar freely. 🌄 📍【Detailed Address】 Qilian Mountain Grassland is located at the junction of northeastern Qinghai Province and western Gansu Province in China, spanning a vast area across both provinces. The most famous part is within the territory of Qilian County in the Haibei Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Qinghai Province. This place is not only picturesque but also a paradise for photographers and nature enthusiasts. 🚗【Transportation Tips】 • Airplane: First fly to Xining Caojiabao Airport, then take a long-distance bus or rent a car to Qilian County, which takes about 4-5 hours. • Train + Bus: You can choose to take a train to Menyuan County in Haibei Prefecture after arriving in Xining, then transfer to a bus to Qilian. The scenic journey is also a good choice. • Self-driving: Self-driving is the most flexible way. Starting from Xining, drive north along National Highway 227, enjoying the Menyuan rapeseed flower fields, Daban Mountain, and other beautiful scenery along the way, directly to Qilian Mountain Grassland. The whole journey is about 300 kilometers with good road conditions, but pay attention to driving safety on the plateau. 🍽️【Food Recommendations】 • Hand-grabbed Mutton: How can you not try the authentic hand-grabbed mutton when you're on the grassland? The meat is fresh and flavorful, the best way to experience local customs. • Yak Yogurt: Sour with a hint of sweetness, rich but not greasy, each bite is a supreme tease for the taste buds. • Zanba: The traditional staple food of the Tibetan people, paired with butter tea, it brings warmth and energy on the plateau. 🏞️【Must-Visit Attractions】 • Zhuoer Mountain: Standing on the top of Zhuoer Mountain, overlooking the magnificent scenery of the entire Qilian Mountains and grasslands, the interplay of light and shadow at dawn or dusk is breathtaking. • Heihe Grand Canyon: Explore the mysterious canyon, listen to the babbling river, observe the peculiar peaks and rocks, and experience the wonders of nature. • Qilian Mountain National Park: Venture deep into the national park to find traces of wildlife and have an intimate encounter with nature. 🏞️【Recommended Nearby Attractions】 • Menyuan Rapeseed Flower Fields: If you visit in the summer, don't miss the sea of rapeseed flowers in Menyuan. The golden waves against the distant snow-capped mountains are stunning. • Zhangye Danxia Landform: A bit further away, but definitely worth seeing, this geological wonder features colorful rock layers like a palette overturned by God, leaving one in awe. Every visit to the Qilian Mountain Grassland is a purification of the soul, a pure conversation with nature. Here, time seems to slow down, allowing one to forget the troubles of the world, wishing only for peaceful times to stay with the grassland. 🌈 Don't wait any longer, pack your bags, let's set off together to the place where dreams begin, and write our own grassland story! 🎒
