Shandan Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)

Hexi Corridor D7: Shandan Horse Farm & Rapeseed Flower Sea

After passing Biandukou, we went straight to Shandan Horse Farm. The horse farm was first established by Huo Qubing, located at the foot of the Qilian Mountains, a green and yellow plain, which has been managed by the military until modern times and has now become the largest horse farm in the world. The horse farm is divided into many areas, and we went straight to the largest First Army Horse Farm. The endless rapeseed flower sea and the continuous Qilian Mountains in the distance are exciting, and I want to stop and take pictures from time to time. There are many people in the horse farm, and it is already a very commercial look. Suddenly I remembered the news that I had seen that it had been reorganized and managed by enterprises. The horse farm ticket is more than 60, and you need to rent a horse after entering the door. The price ranges from 150 to 300. The horses in the circle hang their heads tiredly. I flew a drone at the door, and all I saw was the boundless grassland. After thinking about it, the cost-effectiveness was too low and I left... After all, I am from Gansu and have been riding horses since I was a child. After coming out, I returned to the rapeseed flower sea. Compared with it, I would rather stay here for an afternoon. I found a good position, set up a chair, made a cup of coffee, and sat quietly in the middle of the flower sea listening to the wind, watching the flowers and clouds rise and fall. I suddenly thought, if there is an afterlife, I would like to become a grass born here, and spend my life in the yellow field in front of this mountain. Finally: If you are a friend from other places, you can choose to find herdsmen and coaches outside the scenic area to learn horse riding. The prices are much cheaper, and they are all 1-on-1 teaching. The coaches will be much more serious and the learning effect will be better.

The world's largest military horse farm | Shandan Horse Farm

Remember to navigate 🧭 Shandan Car and Field The price is in picture four. It costs an additional 65 per person to enter the scenic area🎫 (No need to buy a sightseeing car. If you plan to ride a horse, just pay for the horse ride) Before you get to the parking lot, someone will call you to park and ride a horse. The distance is almost the same as inside, but inside you ride from the green field, and outside you start from the stone road. Inside is slightly more 1.2 minutes away Parking in the scenic area✅5 yuan (small car) We rode horses at the entrance of the scenic area and did not buy tickets to go in (considering point 1. The water is shallow 2. Riding horses inside are all on the road, not good for taking pictures) But for beginners, 150 is really enough. The coach will rush the horse to run, and the butt hurts when it bumps The light is very good for taking pictures💯, the horse is also very gentle, and you can feel the joy of galloping🐎In the peak season, there are no horses to choose from, let alone bargaining. It is most cost-effective for 4 people and one coach. The cost is 150*5/4=187.5. But there are more horses on the stone road outside, and you can bargain. Although it's also about the price of a cup of milk tea, it's okay👍 The temperature in Shandan is a bit lower, suitable for summer vacation. You can choose to go here when Zhangye city is hot!! The scenery on the road is also good. Just came back~ If you have any questions, I can answer for you!✌️
