Gannan is a haunting place. Although it's my first time here, I always feel deja vu.
When I set foot on this hot spot full of blue sky and green grass, my body became much lighter, because it was so cool! Come to Gannan if you want to experience a 21-degree summer.
Gannan is the best place to drive by car. From Lanzhou to cooperation, the beautiful scenery along the way will always make you stop!
There are grasslands on both sides of the highway. When you meet cattle strolling for food, find a suitable and safe parking spot. For friends who have never seen yaks, you will be very excited by their casual little gesture.
July is the rape season here. Against the backdrop of blue sky, green hills and green grass, a golden rape blossom shines in your eyes. Shoot it! Shoot it! Shoot it!
you think that the rape blossoms just now have turned beautiful, and there are surprises behind them. The "Nine-color Shambhala" spelled out by rape fields can only be seen in this season. Even if you are on your way, you have to get off and take a few photos. If there is a drone, the aerial photography effect is better.
along the way, you will see many "Long Da" with the most collectors' characteristics. Each ribbon has scriptures on it, which is the decoration for Tibetans to pray. Above the highway, when the car passes under, a car full of people are screaming.
There are piles of colorful tents everywhere on the hillside.
Standing here, you can overlook the prospect of the first bend of the Yellow River, overlooking the winding of the Yellow River, with green hills overlapping in front of you, and yaks bowing their heads. This punching point can be played for a while.
What I want to do most when I get here is to enjoy myself freely like cows and sheep on the grassland. When I am tired, I lie on the grass and look up at the blue sky, watch the birds drift leisurely and listen to the satisfied humming of the cows ...
If I am given a Ma Touqin, I will snuggle up to the calf and play a little song that the cows can't understand. In the distance, there is the sound of hooves, and the beautiful girl runs towards me. I will continue to pursue the lover of my dreams in this life. I'm infatuated with flowers again ~ ~
The "Long Da" on the opposite hillside is the most spectacular I saw along the way. The whole hillside is covered with ribbons, which is worth taking more photos.
If you feel that the villages along the road have their own characteristics, you can go in and have a look. When you meet Tibetans in the village, take the initiative to say hello, and Tibetans will give you a friendly smile back. Special attention should also be paid not to shoot Tibetans directly with mobile phone cameras unless permission is obtained. Young Tibetans, including children, can understand Mandarin and have simple communication. Just say hello to the elderly, and don't ask any more questions. Even if the elderly can understand you, you can't understand your reply in Tibetan at all.
Every village will have a small temple where Tibetans pray, which is kept clean and tidy. Almost everyone in Tibet can recite sutras and hold incantations, and they have fixed lessons every day. Their pious beliefs make their lives simple and happy, so no matter the elderly, adults or children, they all have a pure smiling face.
The children of the collectors are much more lively and generous than we expected. They followed us and chatted with us in nonstandard Mandarin. They also asked to take photos of them. After taking photos, they also had to look at themselves in the camera. The little faces of plateau red were all innocent smiles. The hearty laughter of babies is very penetrating, which can make you forget your troubles instantly and integrate into their childlike world.
If you are lucky, you will see Xiangyun. What do you think of this auspicious cloud? I snapped it with my mobile phone in the car, and the pixel is not too high. The real scene we saw at that time was simply beautiful, just like a colorful phoenix soaring in the air. Everyone cheered and screamed with excitement, and the driver deliberately slowed down, so that we were lucky enough to witness this noble and beautiful "Phoenix".
go on road trip should be prepared to meet yaks and goats. No matter how expensive your car is, it is a junior in front of cows and goats. This is their territory, and you don't need to ask for permission to cross the road.
There have been several incidents in which Tibetan yaks were injured and killed by vehicles in go on road trip. When you come here, please abide by the "traffic regulations" here, and when you see the "one stop, second class, slow passage", you should make sure that you and the cows and sheep are safe before stepping on the gas pedal.
don't feel that you are in the way and your trip is affected when you meet such a herd of cattle passing by. Just stop at ease and have a good look at these lovely big guys. The yak meat and yak yogurt you just ate may have been contributed by their relatives. Why not make way for them?
You will meet many people or things along the way. Remember, whatever you meet is the best arrangement. Face acceptance with joy and feel the present with joy.
