The world's largest Malan flower grassland is located in Wuwei, Gansu
The Malan flower, fearless of wind and rain, speaks to the hardworking people, asking them to bloom immediately... Binggou River Scenic Area is situated in Qilian Town, Tianzhu County, Wuwei City, 40 kilometers from Wuwei City and 300 kilometers from Lanzhou City. The scenic area has an altitude ranging from 2480 to 4860 meters, with deep high mountain canyons extending over 30 kilometers, and nearly ten thousand hectares of forest grassland. Among them, the Malan flower grassland in the hinterland of the scenic area covers an area of about 5000 mu, making it the largest Malan flower grassland in the world. Every year from June to July, the Malan flowers bloom unrestrainedly, forming an endless green flow with the vast mountains and forest landscapes to the east, epitomizing the tranquil and peaceful times people yearn for.

Mist shrouds the Qilian Mountains, and Binggou River is a paradise on earth
The Binggou River scenic area in Qilian Mountains is a hidden Shangri-La deep in the mountains, enveloped in clouds and mist, picturesque and fairy-tale-like. Accidentally stumbling upon it, one can feast their eyes, rejuvenate their body, and intoxicate their heart...
The Binggou River scenic area is located within the territory of Qilian Town, Tianzhu Tibetan Autonomous County, Wuwei City, Gansu Province, 35 kilometers away from the downtown area of Wuwei City. It is a scenic area that integrates natural landscapes such as snow mountains, alpine lakes, waterfalls, forests, grasslands, and rivers, and it will reopen to the public at the end of April 2024.
The scenic area's sightseeing car is: 30, with unlimited rides.
Touring time: Due to time constraints, the snow mountain and alpine lake were not thoroughly visited, only touring the Nimeila Grand Canyon and the Forest Sea Crossing, which takes about 2-3 hours.
Warm tips:
1. If you hike the entire way, it is about 8 kilometers one way, of which the sightseeing car can travel up to five kilometers, and the remaining three kilometers need to be hiked. However, I personally think the scenery in the first five kilometers is quite good.
2. There are many fat marmots along the way, clustering together.
3. There are also many white yaks 🐮
4. The scenic area is not overly developed and retains its original charm, very quiet and comfortable. However, the signal in the mountains is not good, some sections have no signal at all, and it is not safe to go too deep into the hinterland. Locals have said they have seen brown bears 🐻
5. There are restaurants in the scenic area, with super high cost performance!
6. The temperature in the mountains is low, wearing a down jacket is not an exaggeration,
6. Those who did not bring warm clothes can rent a windbreaker in the scenic area, with a fee of 60 and a deposit of 300.
This place should be great for summer retreats, and it's also nice for family trips. There are hotels in the scenic area, and the roads are easy to walk without steep climbs. However, my watch shows an altitude of 2900 meters, so don't walk too fast
Suggested route: Enter ➡️ Forest Sea Crossing ➡️ Nimeila Grand Canyon ➡️ Return by sightseeing car; or vice versa. Those with good physical strength can hike back and forth to experience a deep communion with nature!
