If you want to take a road trip to the Northwest, there are several routes you can try. You can find what you want from the following ways. Of course, you can redesign the route to your liking.
Gannan Line
Route length: 12 to 15 days, about 1,240 kilometers.
When to go: June to August or early October
The best scenic road section: Gahai-Maqu section
Gannan is where the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau extends to Gansu's secret place retains its original and rich landscape. Temples, villages, grasslands, lakes, rivers, peaks, and canyons have different shapes but are perfectly integrated. When driving in Gannan, all you need to do is use your wheels to measure the scene that appeared in your dream.
1. Lanzhou
“The Yellow River is full of water, and the beef noodles are fragrant day and night” is probably the best comment here. Lanzhou's large and small scenic spots and landmark buildings, such as Waterwheel Park, Zhongshan Railway Bridge, Baitashan Park, etc., are mostly concentrated on Binhe Road along the Yellow River. Different from the bad traffic and chaotic crowds in the south of the city, when you get here, you can calm down and enjoy the "Lanzhou Bund".
2. Linxia
Linxia, ??also known as "Mecca", has many mosques and Gongbei on the streets. Walking through this small town, you can clearly hear the "Bunk" sound of God calling believers from the mosque. The rich Hehuang culture and rich Western Region characteristics here set off a unique temperament.
If you are interested in history and culture, Donggongguan and Linxia Hui Autonomous Prefecture Museum are your windows to understand the historical stories of this city. Then, you can stroll deep into the buildings of Bafang and Thirteen Lanes, feel the unique architectural art styles of Bafang and Hezhou, and look for traces of the dusty years.
3. Xiahe
Xiahe is the first stop from Lanzhou to Gannan. Labrang Monastery on the Daxia River is like an ideal city, with dense Tibetan-style buildings occupying most of the land in the western part of Xiahe County. Known as the "Tibetan Academy of Tibetan Studies in the World", it has a complete Tibetan Buddhist teaching system.
The other two temples in Xiahe are Jiaohong Temple and Nu Temple, which can be reached by walking northwest from the small road in Wangmi Square for half an hour. If you have enough time, you can also visit Gangjia Township, 30 kilometers north of Xiahe. There are holy places in the eyes of the locals, namely Baishi Cliff and the highly designed Bajiao City.
4. Sanke Grassland
Sangke Grassland is very popular with self-driving tourists, especially in July and August. It is full of wild flowers, spacious and quiet, dotted with cattle, sheep and horses. This is already a relatively mature scenic spot for tourism development, but if you go deep into the grassland, you can still find a simple scene with wind-swept grass and cows and sheep.
The newly built plank road and several viewing platforms can help you have a panoramic view of the mountains, grasslands and wetlands. If you visit carefully, it may take half a day here; if you are in a hurry, you can stop at the observation deck on the roadside when driving by, and you can also enjoy the beautiful scenery of the grassland.
5. Lu Qu
Lu Qu means "Tao River" in Tibetan. The Tao River and Bailong River originate from Luqu, nourishing large alpine meadows. In this pastoral county with a predominantly Tibetan population, large herds of cattle and sheep can often be seen occupying the road lanes and walking slowly in the middle of the road. Most self-driving tourists will not stop here, but it will be more convenient to visit scenic spots such as Stone Forest and Gahai from here.
6. Gahai
"Ga" means "small", but Gahai is the largest freshwater lake in Gannan and an important wetland in the eastern part of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Known as the "Pearl of the Plateau". In late spring and early summer, flocks of white swans, gray geese and bar-headed geese fly from southern China and Southeast Asia. It is also one of the important breeding habitats for the black-necked crane, a national first-level protected animal (visible from April to early May).
At present, the north side of Gahai has been developed into a scenic spot. You can walk from the grassland to the lake along the stone road and wooden plank road. There are two viewing platforms at the end of the plank road. From them, you can overlook the dark blue mirror-like lake and the snowy peaks and green grass in the distance. In summer, wildflowers spread across the endless grasslands, and flocks of birds rise and fall by the lake between the water and the meadows, presenting a particularly pure landscape.
7. Maqu
Many people come here because of its reputation as the first song of the Yellow River. If you want to see the beauty of the Yellow River, you might as well go to Gongselkamu Road in Awancang Township and climb to the observation deck to see the basin centered on the confluence of Gongqu, Serqu, Daojiqu and the Yellow River. grassland area.
After leaving Awancang Township, you can continue driving eastward along the Yellow River for about 70 kilometers to Qihama Township and Cairima Township. The scenery here is praised as "China's Amazon" by Yang Xianhui, the author of "Gannan Chronicle". The meandering rivers on the plateau are like a waltz dance, meandering on the vast flat alpine meadows.
8. Langmusi
It is another secret place northwest of Langmusi, known as "Oriental Switzerland". Langmusi is not a temple, but actually refers to the town of Langmusi, located at the junction of Sichuan and Gansu provinces. Bailongjiang, one of the three major rivers in Gannan, originates here and divides the town into two. The south of the Yangtze River belongs to Sichuan Province, and the north of the Yangtze River belongs to Gansu Province.
What makes this place famous are the two monasteries. One is located in Sichuan, called Okuranamogaldi Temple. It is one of the largest and most influential Gelug sect temples in Aba, Sichuan. The mountain behind the temple is the entrance to the Namo Grand Canyon, and some short walks start from here. Another temple is located in Gansu Province, called Dazanglangmusi Gansu Temple (also known as Saichi Temple). It is one of the branch temples of Drepung Monastery in Tibet and also belongs to the Gelug Sect.
9. Tiebu Sika Deer Nature Reserve
When you arrive in Chonger Township, you enter the boundary of Tiebu Sika Deer Nature Reserve. With high mountains and deep valleys, a relatively warm climate and lush forest vegetation, it is the only habitat in the world for Tibetan sika deer (also known as Sichuan sika deer). Currently, there are more than 1,000 deer in the reserve.
10. Zhagana
Zhagana means "stone box" in Tibetan. Small Tibetan villages surrounded by towering stone mountains are arranged in layers along the highland barley terraces and surrounded by dense and verdant forests. The stream at the foot of the mountain winds out of the rugged canyon, accompanied by the mist that rises from time to time, like a mysterious fairyland left on earth.
The four Tibetan villages in Shicheng are arranged from west to east, from high to low. Their names are Tiba, Dari, Kim Ye-rim, and Dong-wa. There is Lasang Temple in Dongwa Village, which was built in the early Qing Dynasty. From here, you can explore scenic spots deep in the stone forest on foot or on horseback, such as Fairy Beach, Fairy Lake, Tiger's Mouth, Yixian Sky, etc. The location of Ye Village is suitable for taking pictures of the sunrise, and the rock viewing platform on the back mountain has a good perspective overlooking Dongwa Village.
1. Damo Mountain
The Damo Mountain located at the tail end of the northeastern mountains of Zoige County belongs to the remnants of the Qinling Mountains and extends westward into the county. Although few travelers go to this mountain, it is a geomantic treasure place in the hearts of local people. In Bodhidharma Village, which has only about 30 households on the mountain, there are seven famous living Buddhas with surnames. During Tibetan festivals, a large number of believers go to the mountains to worship. On weekdays, this mountain village is like a paradise.
12. Coincidence
Diebu was called "Diezhou" in ancient times, which means "thumb" in Tibetan. Legend has it that this is where the Tibetan mountain god Negandawa opened it with his thumb. Bailongjiang River is located at the intersection of Minshan Mountain and Loess Plateau, running through the county from northwest to southeast.

13. Zhang Fangyuan Mountain
Laga Mountain means "the place favored by gods" in Tibetan. You can drive to the top of the mountain from Panshan Road. On this winding road, the altitude rises from 1,400 meters to 2,800 meters. With the mist drifting from the mountains, various scenery such as rolling waterfalls, quiet canyons, dense forests, broad grasslands, clear lakes, stacked Tibetan villages, etc. are constantly changing before your eyes.
14. Lazikou
Lazikou is the gateway to the border between China and Tibet, meaning "steep mountain road canyon". If you want to prove the steepness of Lazikou, you might as well go through the two winding mountain roads in Tiechili. The nearly 20 kilometers of S-shaped winding mountain road has 27 turns, but the beautiful scenery along the way is a reward for the brave.
Because
It is located at the intersection of the eastern edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the branches of Minshan Mountain and Qinling Mountains. The scenery of Guan'egou will make you glad you have been there. The nine canyons between the mountains are steep and deep. The ancient pines on the cliffs block out the sky and the sun. There are many strange peaks and dense forests. There are also many waterfalls cascading down from the top of the mountain or the cliffs halfway up the mountain. Sometimes you can see all four seasons in one day.
16. Dayugou National Forest Park
Dagougou is the general name of Jiugou (canyon). The ditch is surrounded by towering cliffs, dense trees and clear water.
In addition, the unique vegetation and climate form a unique landscape of "one mountain with four seasons, ten miles apart", attracting many Gansu locals to come here to escape the heat in midsummer, or to watch the colorful gradient of the forest here in late autumn.
After entering the scenic spot, you will reach a fork in the road, with Gajiao Valley on the left. During the tour, you will pass through five stone gates and go straight along the river to reach the Zagana Stone Forest. On the right is Qibu Valley, which contains Tibetan farmhouses and Qibu Temple.
7. Qioni
The county seat is located on the banks of the Tao River, one of the three major river systems in southern Jiangxi. The Riba Buddha Monument on the south bank of the Tao River overlooks this small Tibetan-style county. Zhuoni is the Chinese transliteration of the Tibetan word "Juenai", which means two masson pine trees. It is worth mentioning that the Tibetan costumes here are also called "Juenai" and have a unique aristocratic style during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
About half a kilometer northwest of the county, the Zen Temple on the mountain is the oldest Tibetan Buddhist temple in Gannan, more than 450 years older than the Labrang Temple in Xiahe. Gongba Temple (more than 60 kilometers southwest of Yoni County) is surrounded by green mountains and Cheba River and is large in scale. It's worth driving there to be greeted by its majesty and tranquility.
Leaving the county and heading north, you will pass the rapeseed flower viewing platform and terraced fields at an altitude of 2,662 meters. The colors and shapes are layered, like a palette, intoxicating.
18. Lintan
Known as the ancient Zhou Tao, it is located at the intersection of the Loess Plateau and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in southern Gansu. Yeliguan Scenic Area and the Weicheng ruins of ancient Zhou Tao are more famous. The tug-of-war for thousands of people on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month and the Zhoutao Flower and Song Festival in the sixth lunar month are carnivals for Lintan people and are also the busiest times of the year.
Drive northwest along Provincial Highway S306 to Hehe. This is a beautiful road that is easily missed by self-driving tourists. You will be immersed in the vast Renmei Prairie and Wanmao Prairie. Especially in summer, the sea of ??flowers becomes the protagonist of the grassland, and sometimes cattle and sheep cross the road. It is the essence of Gannan self-driving road.
9. Cooperation
The word "cooperation" comes from the transliteration of the Tibetan word "Heicuo", which means "the place where antelopes roam". In ancient times, there was a dense forest where antelopes lived. I came here mainly to have a glimpse of the Mirage Eight Buddha Pavilion. The Buddhist Pavilion is located in the Hehe Temple on the mountain north of the city. It is the only nine-story Buddhist pavilion in the entire Tibetan area dedicated to the founders of various sects of Tibetan Buddhism. Standing on the Buddhist pavilion, you can see the platform on the opposite mountain, which is Maugham's sunbathing platform. Look at the place with prayer flags and houses on the mountain on the right, which is the sky burial platform in the cooperation area.
If you come here from July to August, you can also visit the grassland during that week, 2 kilometers south of the city. Gannan Shambhala Tourism Art Festival is held here every year.

6. Kana (Japanese letters; simplified from Chinese characters)
Kanas between mountains and rivers is the most popular attraction in northern Xinjiang, and there are rumors of "lake monsters" It became famous all of a sudden. But just looking at the color of Kanas Lake is enough to shock you. The lake water will show different colors such as blue, gray, emerald, dark green, milk green and so on in different seasons. After entering September, golden birch leaves, apricot larch, fiery European poplars, and evergreen pines and cypresses line up in rows. It is a fairy tale world. That's right.

In late autumn, the leaves of white haba, birch, larch and poplar gradually turn from golden to red, making it a fairy tale-like border town. Enjoy the beautiful sunset on the hillside behind the old village. There is a "golden avenue" behind the old village in autumn (in front of the Mongolian Primary School). The birch trees on both sides of the street form a golden arcade, and the ground is covered with a thick "golden carpet".

Hemu Township is divided into Hemu Lower Village, Hemu Upper Village, Hemu New Village and Hemu Mountain Village. Shangcun and Xiacun are the core areas and also the concentrated areas for food and accommodation. The locals collectively call it the old village. If you deliberately look for a harmonious attraction, you may be disappointed, but there are attractions everywhere in the village. The highest mountain in the north of Hemu Village is Meili Peak. There is a village up there with only a dozen Kazakh families. In July, wildflowers abound.

The history of Tuohai Town is not long. The first residents began to move in after the discovery of mineral resources in the 20th century, and it has now evolved into a tourist town. The streets of the town are filled with shops selling rare and precious minerals, with aquamarine and tourmaline being local specialties.

Then spend a day or two practicing in Yushu. After continuing southbound, Nangqian and Luwuqi were the highlights of the second half of the journey. There are not only stunning scenery here, but also Tibetan customs that are rarely disturbed by outsiders.

Amaqing Mountain is one of the four sacred mountains of Tibetan Buddhism. Zhihai Diaikou is 4,600 meters above sea level. Here you can see the majestic appearance of the main peak Ma Qinggang. Although the height of the main peak of 6,282 meters is not outstanding among the many mountains on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, it is very natural to have an illusion about the height in front of you (you may even think it is more than 8,000 meters high). The Maqinggang sky here presents a towering state with steep walls. Then arrive at Huashi Gorge, which was once the most important transportation hub in Goluo Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture. With the opening of the Hua-Jiu Expressway, its hub status has been gradually weakened. If it's getting late here, you might as well rest for a while.
5. Maidu Fish
Visit the source base of the Yellow River. Maduo is 4,300 meters above sea level, with dry air and huge temperature differences between day and night. Tibetans who live at lower altitudes will suffer from altitude sickness here. It is recommended to go to Maduo to replenish water and avoid strenuous activities.

When the weather is nice, the lake is a dreamy sapphire blue with dazzling stars twinkling on the surface. Everything is like a dream.
The shores of Eling Lake are also a paradise for wild animals. Herds of Tibetan antelopes or Tibetan wild ass can often be seen here. Continue to reach the Bull Head Back. The Yellow River Source Monument is built on the top of Cuowari Mountain at an altitude of 4,610 meters. Hu Yaobang and the 10th Panchen Lama inscribed "The Source of the Yellow River" in Chinese and Tibetan respectively. When the weather is good, you can also have a panoramic view of the two lakes.

For travelers who have just come down from Mado, this is a suitable place to rest and adjust. You might as well go to the Jiegu Temple on the top of Muma Mountain. It is not only the Sakya Temple, but also a good place overlooking the urban area of ??Yushu. Another place where you can see the new side of the city is at the Contemporary Mountain Observation Deck.
Take the G214 National Highway from Yushu to the city and drive about 16 kilometers to Princess Wencheng Temple. After passing the basin, we climbed over the Galaga Pass and entered the landscape section, sometimes climbing over the mountain peaks and sometimes going deep into the canyon. The 112km road from the mountain pass to Nangqian is full of beautiful scenery, among which the scenery near the Juelongga Canyon is the most beautiful. The scenery on the road is worth stopping for more than half a day.
7. Be humble
For travelers who like original ecology, Nangqian is paradise. There are almost no tours in Nangqian, and there is no place in the county to collect tickets. The only tourist facilities currently are the signboards on the national highway.
When the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the Hengduan Mountains meet, they form a magnificent and beautiful scenery, and the Gale Temple Grand Canyon is one of the best. The primeval forest in the canyon grows among the green grass, and the special light and shadow effects brought by the flowing fog make it seem like a dream.
Gar Temple is located on the mountainside deep in the canyon. From a distance, it looks like a "city in the sky" suspended in the air. If you want to experience the purest style of Nangqian, then the historic (Jiao) Temple will not let you down. Jiusi Temple was once the family temple of Nangqian Qianren, ranking first among all the temples under the jurisdiction of Qianren's residence. The huge Mani stone pile in front of the temple is the highlight of the entire temple. The prayer wheel corridor surrounding the Mani stone pile has gone through many vicissitudes. Tibetans come here all year round.
8. Like Wuqi
The most interesting thing about Luwuqi is the Luwuqi Temple, 25 kilometers northwest of the county. The main hall, Chagyemma Hall, has long been famous in Tibet. There is a folk song in eastern Tibet: "Go to Lhasa first for pilgrimage, and then go to Chagyemma. If you come to Chagyemma first, you can think about it after you arrive in Lhasa." Entering the hall, you can see exquisite Buddha statues and thangkas everywhere.
9. Dingqing
Dingqing, the hometown of Cordyceps Sinensis, is not very attractive to travelers, but the largest, earliest and most faithful temple in Tibet - Zheluo Temple is located In the eastern part of the county, it is definitely worth your half-day trip. Zongbao Style
Nagqu City, an important town in northern Tibet, has an altitude of 4,525 meters. It is the highest, coldest and windiest "city" in Tibet. Walking on the street, there is not a single tree in sight, which shows the harsh natural environment here. Nagqu City exists more as a transportation hub in travel plans, and traveling from Qinghai to Lhasa cannot be avoided.
