Qilian Mountain Prairie.

It takes two hours to get there from Xining (via National Highway 227, which is said to have great views, and the section after Qilian Mountain is really amazing) Lunch reservation: Laogu Ranch (milk tea, milk skin, highland barley cake, and a roast lamb leg, just enough for two people, CNY 470) The view from horseback riding, you ride the horse yourself throughout the journey, and there will be a coach following you all the way, the experience is very good (CNY 300 for 60 minutes, CNY 200 for 30 minutes) The weather in Qilian Mountain is very changeable. It was cloudy in the morning, and it started to snow at noon. The weather changed from cloudy to sunny and then to snowy during the one-hour horse riding. It was very cold. From the prairie to Zhangye via National Highway 227, the section through Qilian Mountain is really amazing
