Ganja Secret Realm Guide|Walking Slowly Through the Wilderness Wind

🌈Dear friends, you must come to the Ganja Secret Realm to experience its shock and beauty! 🎉 🏔️Here lies a vast grassland, like a huge green carpet, making you want to run freely on it🏃‍♀️ 🚗Transportation Guide​ 📍Departing from Xiahe County Town (35km/1h)​ ❶ Self-driving: Navigate to "Ganja Secret Realm Visitor Center," the entire route is paved, the last 5km is a grassland path (SUV recommended for stability)​ ❷ Car rental: Round trip from Xiahe County Town, the driver can take you to the hidden stream under the cliff​ ❸ Group tour: Choose a small group tour including "Secret Realm Depth" (within 6 people), with a Tibetan guide leading the hike​ 🏠Accommodation Recommendations: Ganja Eco Camping Site: Highly recommended! Here you can lie in a tent and watch the stars, and wake up to stunning grassland views in the morning, an amazing experience. However, prices are relatively high, so book in advance during peak season. Ganja Town Homestays: A cost-effective choice with affordable prices, allowing you to deeply experience local life. Homestay owners are usually very enthusiastic and will provide many travel suggestions. 🍱Food Guide: Hand-grabbed Lamb: You must try this delicacy in Ganja; the lamb is tender and juicy, without any gamey taste, paired with salt and pepper, it’s simply delicious. Butter Tea: A steaming cup of butter tea not only wards off the cold of the plateau but also lets you taste the unique flavor of Tibetan culture. Tibetan Yogurt: Rich and creamy, with a spoonful of sugar, sweet and sour, very appetizing. 🌟【Must-See Scenery】: 📍Ganja Secret Realm The Ganja Secret Realm above the clouds exists like a "magnificent and majestic miracle" · 📍Langmu Temple A small stream where Tibetan and Hui ethnic groups peacefully coexist, with a Lama temple and a mosque on opposite banks · 📍Zhagana A hidden paradise known as the "Eden on Earth," also one of the 50 must-visit places in life according to China National Geography · 📍Labrang Monastery The "highest institute of Tibetan Buddhism," regarded as the Tsinghua and Peking University of Tibetan Buddhism‼ The outer wall is made up of over 2,000 prayer wheels, holding the Guinness World Record for the "world’s longest prayer wheel corridor" · 📍Sangke Grassland The most beautiful pasture in Gannan, where cattle and sheep roam freely. Ride a gentle foal and gallop on horseback while listening to melodious Tibetan folk songs, cleansing your soul 💡Tips: 1️⃣ When visiting temples, do not touch, flip through, or take photos casually, and keep quiet. 2️⃣ Respect local customs and beliefs, and avoid casual comments. 3️⃣ Bring a jacket for warmth and a raincoat just in case. 4️⃣ Single-lane roads are narrow; watch for oncoming vehicles and park on the side without blocking the road.
