National Day self-driving on the road | Qinghai-Gansu big loop line full strategy
Holiday! The super long holiday of National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, why not pack up and set off!
Many friends have consulted me about the Qinghai-Gansu big loop line, and I have organized some content about the Qinghai-Gansu big loop line self-driving that you must know, hurry up and like and collect it!
🔍About the Qinghai-Gansu loop line:
The so-called big loop line is a self-driving route from Xining, Qinghai, all the way west to Dunhuang, then west to return to Gansu, along the Hexi Corridor and finally back to Xining.
There are many scenic spots along the way, and the mainstream 5-day and 8-day routes on the Internet cannot perfectly cover all the scenic spots along the way.
So in the choice of route, it depends on whether you focus on the scenery or culture.
🗓️Main scenic spot strategy:
It's impossible to be meticulous, but there can be a focus. Combined with my own experience and online information, I have summarized a version of the recommended key scenic spots (with recommended reasons)
✔️Xining Ta'er Monastery: Gelugpa monastery, the master Tsongkhapa walked out from here, the red wall is very photogenic.
✔️Qinghai Lake: It is said that Tsangyang Gyatso died here, one of the highest lakes in the world.
✔️Chaka Salt Lake: The mirror of the sky, is one of the "55 places a person must go in his lifetime" selected by National Geographic magazine.
✔️Dachaidan Emerald Lake: Compared to the fame of Chaka Salt Lake, this place is relatively niche, especially suitable for aerial photography!!!
✔️Wuwei Leitai: The location of ancient Liangzhou, Gansu Wuwei, the famous horse stepping on the flying swallow is from the Leitai Han tomb here.
✔️Qilian Mountain: The part where Qinghai and Gansu meet, the Qilian Mountains have many birds and animals and beautiful scenery.
✔️Zhangye Colorful Danxia: God spilled the palette here, a typical representative of the Danxia landform.
✔️Jiayuguan: "The first strong pass in the world", many frontier poems are related to him, remember to take a photo with the popular Guanchang.
✔️Mingsha Mountain: Mingsha Mountain Crescent Spring is a must-visit attraction in Dunhuang, climb the sand dunes to overlook the Crescent Spring, wait for the moon to come out, super artistic conception.
✔️Mogao Grottoes: The most famous grottoes, the cultural value is immeasurable.
⚠️Don't drive alone!!! Coming out of Xining, the Ta'er Temple to Dachaidan section will have mild altitude sickness, rest appropriately, eat something, there is no need to buy oxygen.
🚗About self-driving:
The whole journey is either a highway or a national road. As long as you don't want to challenge those sections that have not been repaired, a general car is fine. There are many people traveling during the small long holiday, and there will be traffic jams, which cannot be avoided.
📸Photography suggestions:
1️⃣There are different features all the way, it is recommended to bring a few more lenses, 16-35, 70-200 are the minimum.
2️⃣Drones are banned in Jiayuguan, Mogao Grottoes, Ta'er Temple and other places, be sure to understand in advance.
I am Gala, an amateur photographer who likes to go on a whim, but doesn't know how to press the shutter~

🚙Transportation: Many routes are gathered from Xining, there are chartered tours, and there are travel groups. If you are self-driving, I suggest you can start from Lanzhou, stay for one more day, Lanzhou city is always easily overlooked.
Like and follow to not get lost❤️
Can't say that this attraction is not good, maybe I don't know much about Tibetan culture, so I don't have that shocking feeling! Especially for those with children, the children don't seem to be too interested! There are a lot of Tibetan clothes rented outside, but the door is not allowed to enter after the rent is put on. I don't know why!
Guobaoyi, magnificent, extremely high status, nothing to say, Xining tour must go to one of the attractions. Although I highly recommend the ancient construction enthusiasts, that is the real monument, correction shock
Ok... The service can't keep up, you have to climb the steps to get the ticket to the service hall to get the ticket, and then enter from the entrance. The inside is not big, the scenery is average, not as good as Labrang Temple, with a mentality of coming and punching a card. Parking navigation to the "Tibetan Hospital", there is a parking lot nearby for 10 yuan once
The bus station is too far from the scenic spot, and the place to buy tickets is too far from the ticket office, which is too inconvenient!

The best style of Tibetan and Han combinations is uniquely displayed. Ta'er Temple must be seen. Although it has a different style from the temples in Tibet, this existence really has a very important role. In fact, the Mongolians and female real people who really connect the mainland and Qinghai Tibetan areas are such complicated and colorful history.
It was the off-season trip and half a ticket to visit the famous holy place of Tibetan Buddhism - Ta'er Temple. The buildings in the temple are exquisite and colorful. The three in the temple are very beautiful. Unfortunately, they can't take pictures. The interpreter is also very serious and thoughtful. I learned about some Tibetan Buddhism through the explanation. Know.
