Zhuoer Mountain Scenic Area
YYisibugua518I came here for the second time. The shuttle bus was shabby and drove very fast. The scenery was okay. The only good thing was that the things inside were relatively affordable, which made people feel comfortable. However, they charged 20 yuan for installing an elevator.

This is different from the several types of grasslands in Inner Mongolia. This is a gentle slope and valley at the foot of the high mountains.
The Qilian Grassland and the snow-capped mountains, and the rapeseed fields in Menyuan that gradually opened in early July are best eaten together.
[Fun] You can ride horses, shoot archery, see rabbits, mice and marmots, but the most important thing is to enjoy the beautiful scenery and refresh your eyes.

Dadongshu Mountain Bealock
俪俪辰After August 3, I just checked Qilian and took the G213 National Highway. I can't drive up by car. The original old road (provincial road) to Qikou is blocked. At least I can't drive up by car (I'm not sure it will not open again in the future). Now I can go through the Dadongshushan Tunnel directly through the National Highway G213. The altitude was measured at the viewing place on the side of Qilian, 3797 meters, which was quite high. Although it did not challenge the height of 4120 as expected, it also saved a lot of time because of the convenience of driving. In addition, on both sides of the road, the green of the mountains, the flocks of cattle and sheep, the blue sky, the flowing white clouds, absolutely match the reputation of "Qilian Wonderland".
