Top Things to Do in Gannan 2021

"The feeling is still very solemn, and the architecture is also very good. I can feel the power of their faith. I usually recommend a self-driving tour. Many believers come here to worship."

"Taoyan Township is 55 kilometers away from Zhuoni County. From the county seat, the road conditions are not so good. It was already noon after the bumpy road. However, Zhuonitao inkstone is one of the four famous inkstones in China and belongs to the national intangible cultural heritage. Almost every household in Taoyan Township will make Taoyan inkstones, and we have the honor to visit the production site this time. According to the master who made Tao Inkstone, the best stone for making Tao Inkstone is "Old Keng Stone", produced in Lamaya and Shuiquanwan generation in Zhuoni County. The best duck head green stone produced in deep water is as neat as jade. Tao inkstone made from it has been hard to find since ancient times. Those who are interested can purchase one on site, including inkstones, tea sets, etc., at a high price. In fact, Taoyan Township is not very touristy except for visiting Xiatao Inkstone production, but the beautiful terraced fields along the way to Taoyan Township are the most unforgettable. The terraced fields covered by white mist are full of greenery, covered with a sea of flowers. Spectacular, majestic and magnificent. In fact, the most beautiful thing about Zhuoni’s trip is along the way, the most precious, often free, self-driving can stop by the roadside to watch at any time, very free and comfortable."

"The historic city of Taozhou, the most intact ruins of the ancient city, and the jade rabbit Linfan supernatural tortoise known as Taozhou’s Eight Scenic Spots go out to sea, tie horse posts and other pleasant scenery. The folk customs are simple, and the Tea Horse Road also passes through here. It is a famous historical and cultural town."

"Lianhuashan National Forest Park is located in Bajiao Township in the northern part of Lintan County. It is a sacred place shared by Buddhism and Taoism, as well as a summer resort. It is located 15 kilometers to the east of Yeliguan Town, 58 kilometers to the north of Kangle County, 170 kilometers to the provincial capital Lanzhou, 177 kilometers to the west, 170 kilometers to the east and 170 kilometers to the west, with roads extending in all directions. The absolute height of the summit is 3578 meters and the relative height is 1300 meters."

"As Gannan is sparsely populated, the scenic spots are scattered, and the transportation is inconvenient. Within the same scenic spot, the distance between different scenic spots is also quite different. If possible, it is recommended to rent a car to travel, which is convenient and free. For the sake of safety and financial considerations, it is best to go with each other, either sharing the fare or taking care of each other."

"The environment of this resort is okay, and the traffic is relatively convenient."
