Dragon Boat Festival Exclusive | The Secret Grassland of Gannan

During the Dragon Boat Festival, the Gannan grasslands shed their early spring freshness, revealing rolling waves of green that ripple with the wind. Herds of yaks and sheep leisurely dot the landscape. In the early morning, ride horseback through misty pastures, accompanied by the cries of circling eagles and the soft, carpet-like grass underfoot. At sunset, the golden light bathes the stone city of Zhagana, where ancient watchtowers and snow-capped mountains create a serene tableau that feels like stepping back in time. At night, gather around Tibetan tents, sip steaming butter tea, and gaze at the star-filled sky, breathing in the sweet, crisp air of the highlands. Gannan is the top choice for a short Dragon Boat Festival getaway—free from crowded tourist spots, allowing you to wander at your own pace. The chants of Tibetan Buddhist temples cleanse the soul, while valleys filled with blooming wildflowers slow down time itself. This is a sanctuary for weary urban souls.
