Heading to the Qilian Grassland: Encounter the Most Healing Vastness and Freedom in Northwest China

Heading to the Qilian Grassland: Encounter the Most Healing Vastness and Freedom in Northwest China This time I finally checked off the long-awaited Qilian Mountains! Although it was a rainy day, the misty Qilian Mountains added a sense of mystery, and the Danxia landforms in the distance appeared faintly in the rain. Every shot looked like a masterpiece 📸 📍Qilian Mountain Scenic Area - Address: Within Qilian County, Haibei Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture - Opening Hours: Open all year round, 24/7 If it’s your first time in Qilian, be sure to visit these spots: 1️⃣ Zhuo'er Mountain Viewing Platform Even on rainy days, you can capture atmospheric mountain views, with the sea of clouds rolling dramatically 2️⃣ Qilian Grassland A super vast grassland; although it was cloudy, it didn’t affect its grandeur at all. Horses leisurely grazing are especially soothing 3️⃣ Heihe Grand Canyon From a high vantage point, you can overlook the entire canyon. When the weather clears, you can see the winding Heihe River, which is truly spectacular 💡Travel Tips: - The temperature difference between morning and evening is large in the plateau area, so remember to bring a windproof jacket - Sunscreen is essential; even on cloudy days, UV rays are strong - Many places in the scenic area have no signal, so it’s recommended to download offline maps in advance - If you are prone to altitude sickness, remember to prepare an oxygen bottle
