ZHUO’ER MOUNTAIN SCENIC: It is part of Qilian mountain range in the North east of China.I visited in August which is the best time to visit this place since you can see the beautiful yellow rape flower fields mixed with layers of lush green. If you go there before June there's no flower fields, it will be bare.Not a place for lazy people like me because of mountain climbing and moving around.you should bring an extra jacket if you want hiking its usually cold at the top.Overallu its not a huge scenic area, thereby less crowds also compared to other sites in the area.i recommend you to visit this place especially July or August.

Beautiful Scenery

If you’re looking for a quiet place off the beaten track, you should head to Qilian mountain, north of Xining. Beautiful drive to get there and a beautiful place overall to have a look around. Location: Qilian Mountains, Qilian County, Qinghai

Qinghai & Gansu Self-Driving Tour

Had the good fortune to do a self-driving tour through Central Gansu Province and Northern Qinghai Province. If you’re in China for a while and have a foreign driver’s license, you can apply for a Chinese one. It requires jumping through some annoying hoops but then you can rent a car when you travel. We drove up to Qilian Mountain in Qinghai and to the famous 4120m Large Winter Tree pass. It was a very fun experience! #travelinspiration#unforgettableexperiences#awesomepic#nationalpark#urbanexplorer

Into the grassland of Qilian Mountain, the most beautiful grassland in China, the grassland in June has changed from dry yellow to green, and the high altitude makes the peak at the end of the grassland still snowy in June. Qilian Mountain has a picturesque scenery, Tiangaoyun is light and summer is like spring, and the snowy peaks of Qilian hold the white Hada. The vast grassland pavilion unfolds a thousand miles of blankets, so that the feelings of Qilian Mountain are deeply hidden in everyone's heart. You walked forward with a smile, and the scarves are flying in the wind...

In the land of snow

One step at a time, one breath, and one more step. Besides the technical gear, the skills, and more than the extreme scenes portrayed in films, this is mountaineering, a slow, strenuous fight to take one more step, one more breath. The thin air at this altitude made me dizzy, my mind drifted like the snow. One wrong step and it’s end game, a crevasse could open underneath our feet and swallow us, a tumble down the slope and it’s done, an avalanche could sweep us off the face of the mountain. I steered my mind away from these thoughts and took one more breath, and then one more step; at the end of the climb, it’s nothing like in the movies, it’s one of these grueling steps that will take you to the peak. Rising at 5254 meters above sea level, Gangshika is one of the “easier to climb” 5000 meters peaks in the Qilian Range. But don’t underestimate it. A step can take you up a peak, but it can also be the last you ever take. Mountaineering requires specialized gear, and more importantly years of experience. #mountainview

Beautiful Qilian county in North-Qinghai

Qilian county (祁连县) is a small county in the mountainy border-region to South-Gansu. The small town with the same name offers hotels, restaurants and small shops and is quite buzzling. The pictures above where taken in the surrounding countryside, namely close to some small villages around the scenic area of ZhuoErShan (卓尔山风景区). For grassland and mountain view you can go there, it's not bad. But if you really want to hike you have to find a local who takes you there for some money or you just drive through the villages and find a way to the untouched nature by yourself. ↪️ You can come to Qilian county by renting a car or by public bus. There is no train route or airport closeby. 🍂 Summer is warm and dry, winter gets really cold and snowy. #easylife#hiking#summervacation#hikingtrails

🏔 Sure is Qilian Mountain the Switzerland of China as they call. A blend of mountainous roads leading into this town, grasslands with herds of cattle, and the snow-capped mountains with pine trees is the scenery that brought me to this place.   📌 The day I travelled to this town, which is located in the border of Qinghai and Gansu provinces, it was raining heavily that I could barely see anything. We approached Qilian Mountain in the late afternoon and enjoyed the first evening after the rain. Colorful lightings were lit up all over one of the main hills in town very beautifully, very beautifully.   🏞 The morning after, the sky was clear and that’s when we visited the scenic area. It was fantastic! The fresh alpine air, moo-moo sound from local cattle on the hill, and the breathtaking vista of high mountains make this place very special.     🌲This alpine region is one of the few places in China where I totally could escape from the crowds, also just to be able to immerse myself in the nature. 🗺 #scenicspotguide #urbanexplorer #travelinspiration #unforgettableexperiences#nationalpark#naturalwonders#roadtrip#urbanexplorer
