Entering the World of Geography Books

I once thought that grasslands should be flat, open, and boundless until I saw the Qilian Grassland. The distant mountains with their overlapping peaks and the undulating grasslands nearby create a unique geographical landscape. Fields of golden rapeseed flowers🌼 and flocks of white sheep🐏 add different colors to the grassland. The place where you can see this beautiful scenery is none other than Zor Mountain⛰️ in Qilian. 🖼Scenic Area Introduction The entire Qilian Mountain range has many scenic areas, and Zor Mountain is one of them. It is a natural landscape known as the 'Little Switzerland of the East.' Located between Xining and Zhangye, if you travel along the Qinghai-Gansu Grand Loop, you need to detour about 80 kilometers one way. The landform features are very rich, with rapeseed and barley planted at the foot of the mountain, colorful Danxia in the distance, and snow-capped mountains stretching endlessly. To enter the scenic area, first take a shuttle bus to the mountainside, then hike up on your own. The wooden plank road built along the way is easy to walk on, and there is a beacon tower at the top where you can get a panoramic view! It takes about 2 hours to tour. 💰Ticket Price 80 yuan/person (including round-trip bus ticket, children who are exempt from tickets need to pay a separate 20 yuan bus fare) 🗓Notes🌟 📝Recommended visiting season is from June to August; the grass is withered and lacks stunning beauty in other months. 📝The climate within the Qilian Mountain range changes greatly daily, so please bring a jacket and an umbrella. 📝The difference between Zor Mountain A-line and B-line tickets is only at the entrance, the main viewing points are the same. Just buy tickets in advance according to your itinerary. 📝I went on a self-driving tour. When I was doing my research, I also saw many sisters saying that only a few travel agencies include the Zor Mountain scenic area. If you want to join a tour group and visit the scenic area, it is recommended to consult in advance. 📝Zor Mountain is about 3000 meters above sea level, so it is recommended to move slowly. 📝I personally think the milk cake is delicious! The price is also cheaper compared to other scenic spots. There are souvenir shops, and there is a place outside to get stamps. Both adults and children can stamp beautiful stamps of various scenic spots in Qinghai.
