Family Travel Guide｜Qilian Mountain Grassland: Experience a Cool 20°C Summer with Kids

As the Qinghai-Gansu loop reaches its final leg, Qilian Mountain surprises us with a sea of green. We originally worried the kids would get tired of the long car ride, but as soon as we got off, their attention was captured by the marmots on the grassland. The streams formed by melted snow from the mountains are crystal clear. The children splash and laugh barefoot in the shallow water. A herd of yaks strolls slowly across the hillside. This close-to-nature experience is more vivid than any early education class. ～ 🍃 Complete Travel Guide for Traveling with Kids 📍 Exact Location: Qilian Mountain Grassland Scenic Area, Haibei Prefecture, Qinghai Province 📅 Best Time to Visit: June to August when the grassland is most beautiful and the temperature is comfortable 🚗 Transportation Tips: Recommended to rent a car or self-drive, with the flexibility to stop and enjoy the scenery anytime 👶 Family Facilities: Ebao Town has well-equipped mother and baby service stations, and there is a children's playground at the grassland entrance 🌞 Sun Protection Tips: The ultraviolet rays on the plateau are strong, be sure to apply sunscreen on your baby ～ 📷 Must-Capture Family Moments 1⃣️ Biandukou River Area The shallow water area is safe and suitable for kids to play in Photos of family interactions with prayer flags in the background are especially striking 2⃣️ Eboling Pass From the viewing platform, you can overlook the entire grassland Family photos with snow-capped mountains as the backdrop are very impressive 3⃣️ Zhuoer Mountain Wooden Boardwalk Gentle slope suitable for strollers Wildflowers on the hills create a fresh and natural foreground for photos ～ 🚐 Family-Friendly Loop Itinerary Day 1: Xining → Riyue Mountain (Tibetan cultural experience) → Cycling at Qinghai Lake → Chaka Salt Lake Day 2: Aerial photography at Emerald Lake → 315 U-shaped Highway → Water Yadan Geological Study Day 3: Petroleum Town Adventure → Dunhuang Ancient City Costume Experience → Desert Starry Sky Camping Day 4: Mogao Caves Family Guided Tour → Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Spring → "See Dunhuang Again" Performance Day 5: Jiayuguan Great Wall Study → Zhangye Danxia Sunset Viewing Day 6: Horse Riding at Shandan Military Horse Farm → Qilian Mountain Grassland Folk Experience Day 7: Menyuan Rapeseed Flower Sea → Return to Xining City Center
