Zagana

Zagana is located in Yiwu Township, Diebu County, Gansu Province. In Tibetan, it means "stone box". It is an ancient cliff city that can accommodate thousands of people from two villages for living and farming. A road winds up to the top of the mountain, with shops lining the street and guest houses scattered all over. Due to its natural advantages of towering and majestic clouds, it has become popular all over the country, giving this ancient village that has been farming and hunting for thousands of years a new vitality. I came to Zagana not to check in, but to challenge the Locke Road by driving alone. The night before, I was worried that all the guest houses in Zagana would be full, so I stayed in the suburbs of Diebu County more than 30 kilometers away from the scenic area. I got up before dawn and went to Zagana. When I arrived, I found out that there were many guest houses and RV campsites after entering the scenic area gate. It can be said that there is no worry about food and accommodation. Driving up the mountain, the narrow village road was full of cars on both sides, and the road and the slope were full of tourists waiting to watch the sunrise. The higher I drove, the narrower the road and the more people. I had a premonition that it would be difficult to go down the mountain, so I took a few photos and turned around and went down the mountain. At more than eight o'clock in the morning when I went down the mountain, as expected, the cars going up the mountain had lined up for several kilometers. Suggestions: 1. Never go there during the summer vacation 2. The capacity of the guest houses in Zagana is large enough, so don't live outside the scenic area gate, 3. The scenery is also beautiful after the National Day, when there are fewer cars and people, and the guest houses are cheaper, within 150 yuan, 4. If you really want to take pictures, stay in the guest house on the top of the mountain, and you can see the sunrise and sunset Photographed on July 30, 2023. Zagana
