Live Your Best Lives
The Laji Mountain Pass, 3,820 meters above sea level, is strategically located. The Ningguo Highway passes through it. There is also a highway to Huangyuan on the south side of the pass. The northern slope of Laji Mountain is steep, with many exposed rocks. Except in summer, the slope is often covered with snow. The southern slope is gentle and suitable for the growth of grass. It is a famous alpine pasture in Hainan.
The vegetation in Laji Mountain is distributed vertically, with various ecological types interspersed, including alpine meadows, alpine wetlands, alpine shrubs, mountainside trees, and farmland ecology at the foot of the mountain.
The mountain produces the famous Cordyceps sinensis. The mountain has a variety of climate types, and you can experience rain, snow, fog, haze, cloudy, sunny, pine, and hail many times in the same day.
The Hongshanzui Pasture here is the summer pasture of Gajang Township, which stretches from Laji Pass to the watershed in the north and Datan Village in the south, with the center at an altitude of 3,746 meters. The pasture has gentle slopes, abundant water sources, and good grass growth. When summer comes, the hillside is covered with green grass, colorful flowers, herds of cattle and sheep, pastoral songs, and the vast blue sky and leisurely white clouds are a dream destination for people in the city.

Laji Mountain is on the east side of S101 Road and the north side of Zaha Highway. Before this trip, I had seen many pictures of prayer flags in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The colorful prayer flags on the snow-capped mountains, grasslands, and lakes, flying and jumping under the blue sky and white clouds, may be my initial yearning for Tibet. When I came to Laji Mountain, all the pictures in my dreams appeared in front of me. Laji Mountain is also called Laji Mountain. It belongs to the branch of Sun and Moon Mountain. Its Tibetan name Gongmaola means "a place where eagles cannot fly over." Its bulge is like a pulled-up spine, so it is called "Laji Mountain", but there are many stone chickens living in the mountains, so the locals simply call it "Laji Mountain".
Qinghai】Laji Mountain - the watershed between the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the Loess Plateau. Looking at Laji Mountain in the mist from afar, I learned from searching the Internet that it is also called Laji Mountain, Jishi Mountain, and Tangshu Mountain. It means "the mountain south of Huangshui" in Tibetan. It is located in the eastern part of Qinghai, between the Huangshui Valley and the Yellow River Valley. From this point of view, the Yellow River is not far away after Laji Mountain.
The earliest saying of "Laji Mountain" is that it is a branch of the Qilian Mountain system, and its bulge is like a stretched spine. Laji Mountain stretches across the south of Xining and is the dividing line between the Loess Plateau and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The name of the mountain is a transliteration of the Tibetan language, which means "a place where eagles cannot fly over" in Chinese. However, there are many Gala chickens living on this mountain, so the people also call it "Laji Mountain".
The overall altitude of Lajishan should be around 3,500 meters. It was rainy and the temperature was low, so the children put on down jackets and hats.
When you first arrive, be sure to keep warm and don't catch a cold.
Prayer flags and tents add some life to nature.
Many herdsmen set up tents on the roadside and sell handicrafts and milk tea while grazing their sheep here.
Very beautiful, the first snow mountain in Qinghai-Gansu, looking at it from afar, my heart is full of reverence! There is a temple next to the Laji Mountain altitude signpost, the potatoes they sell are very delicious, the potatoes in Xining are all delicious, there are many yurts down the mountain, the yogurt inside is super good, the best I have ever eaten in my 35 years of life, no one
Located in Guide County, Hainan Prefecture, Qinghai Province, Laji Mountain is a branch of the Sun and Moon Mountains. It is called "Gongmaola" in Tibetan, which means the place where Galaji (stone chicken) lives. Laji Mountain is the boundary mountain between Guide and Huangzhong, winding from west to east, with the highest peak at an altitude of 4,524 meters. The Laji Mountain Pass at an altitude of 3,820 meters is geographically important. The Ningguo Highway passes through it, and there is also a highway to Huangyuan on the south side of the pass. The northern slope of Laji Mountain is steep, and the rocks are mostly exposed. Except in summer, the slopes are often covered with snow. The southern slope is gentle and suitable for pasture growth. Laji Mountain is a branch of the Sun and Moon Mountains. It is called "Gongmaola" in Tibetan, which means the place where Galaji (stone chicken) lives. (The above is taken from Baidu) Overall, it feels okay. It is the first mountain you cross when you come out of Ta'er Temple to Qinghai Lake. The pass is 3,820 meters above sea level, and some people will have mild altitude sickness. When I went there, there were dark clouds in the sky. There were many cars parked on the roadside, for self-driving, chartered or tour groups, and the traffic was a bit chaotic and congested. It is a must-go place between Xining and Qinghai Lake, and many people took photos at the pass. The excitement of seeing the plateau is greater than the beautiful scenery! PS: The top of the mountain is not very clean, and the smell is not very good. It may be because of the paid photo taking of white yaks. However, the mood + the beautiful scenery cover everything! Four-star praise! Whether it is the Qinghai-Gansu Grand Loop or the Qinghai Small Loop, it is a must-stop place!

A small scenic spot on the way to Chaka, free, small area, friends who drive by themselves can get off the car to take pictures. It only takes about 10 minutes.
The stunning beauty of Qinghai is well-deserved.
It's like a must-go place. There's no point in saying whether it's worth going. Just passing by and taking a look. There is a toilet.
One of the Northwest Loop attractions I visited in February. It was very windy, but the natural scenery was beautiful and the lines of the mountains were beautiful.
Suddenly I was shocked by the outside world. What caught my eyes were lush green meadows and mountains, stretching endlessly like a green carpet. I excitedly got out of the car to take pictures.
The moment I got off the car, I felt the difference in weather every 10 miles at high altitude. It was windy, foggy, and freezing!
When I saw the prayer flags fluttering in the wind and the chubby sheep bleating on the hillside, the excitement in my heart warmed the coldness of my body to a certain extent. But I still recommend that you must wear thicker clothes here, because you will really catch a cold.
The air in Laji Mountain is very fresh after the rain, and there are a lot of negative oxygen ions. Large chunks of clouds are right on the mountain, and they seem to be very close to us.
An unexpected surprise during the trip. The cover photo is the prayer flags of Laji Mountain. The prayer flags here are really the most beautiful I have seen on this trip. They are so spectacular. When I climbed up the gate of the first pass in Qinghai, I took a casual photo of a large area of prayer flags.
You must pass by on the way from Ta'er Temple to Qinghai Lake. You will feel a chill when you get off the car. Be careful not to run or jump, but walk slowly, because the air on the mountain is thin and it is easy to get altitude sickness. There are some Cordyceps for sale on the mountain. It is best to ask the price clearly before buying it and decide whether to buy it.
After leaving Ta’er Monastery, we drove for a very long time. When we were about to get tired of the highland hills of the northwest, an unknown mountain covered with white snow appeared in front of us. As the car got closer and closer to the mountain, we could see clearly that the mountain was covered with snow. It was so beautiful. So I curiously asked the driver who was taking us on the circular route, and he said that it was Laji Mountain.
After the driver parked the car, we ran up excitedly to feel the snow that southerners have long seen in the north, even though it was just accumulated snow. After climbing up, we looked up and down at the beautiful scenery around us. That moment was really suitable. I shouted to the opposite mountains and felt that all my troubles would disappear instantly, hahaha~
It's a must-see attraction that you will definitely pass by if you take the loop route. You can just take a look at it as you pass by. There's no need to make a special trip to see it.
Laji Mountain Ticket: 20 yuan/person (I personally think it is not expensive, you can take photos with the docile lambs, wear Tibetan clothes, ride horses, and do archery, all included in the 20 yuan)
The sheep on Laji Mountain are very docile and amiable.
The scenic spot is on the way to Qinghai Lake, and the road conditions are not very good, so you must drive carefully.
The first pass leading to Qinghai Lake from Ta'er Monastery.
The high altitude begins to show.
At the top of the hill, there was random parking, causing slow and chaotic traffic on the road.
Laji Mountain is 3,820 meters above sea level. . . .
There are snow-capped mountains on one side of the road and grassland on the other. There are also dried beef for sale on the roadside. It's just for taking pictures. There's nothing else.
Typical plateau features, remember to keep warm when traveling
The weather was great when I went there. As a southerner, it was my first time seeing snow. I was so excited.
As soon as we got off the car, we could feel the unique "northwest wind" there. It was really cool, even a little bit cold, because the weather was getting dark. It is called a mountain because its altitude is 4,000 meters, but when we drove up, we basically saw a dirt slope. There is only one small temple on Laji Mountain.
The hillside is covered with green grass, colorful flowers, herds of cattle and sheep, and pastoral songs. If you don’t come in summer, you can also see the scenery of snow-capped mountains.
We sped along the Laji Mountain. The magnificent and vast Northwest scenery was breathtaking. The towering green mountains rolled up and down, and large white clouds floated above the mountains. It seemed like a fairyland and cleansed our souls.
The vast and undulating grassland is covered with a thick green carpet. The colorful wild flowers decorate the green carpet like brocade and satin. Countless cattle and sheep are fat and strong, like colorful pearls scattered all over the grassland.
I really like the scenery of Laji Mountain. If you have altitude sickness, please be careful not to jump too high. It is a beautiful view if you pose for photos casually. It is easier to take good-looking photos with the flowing prayer flags as the background.
On the way to Guide, I passed through Laki Mountain and saw herds of yaks
When we were about to reach Laji Mountain, we began to see the blue sky. What a surprise! It had just cleared up, and the water vapor evaporated. The mist was so beautiful. The road was rising with mist. We were so happy chasing it all the way (the effect could not be captured, so please imagine it yourself. Anyway, we have left the beautiful scenery in our memory. Laji Mountain is just a beautiful scenery on the way. It is not a paid attraction. You can decide how long to stay by yourself. We were so excited to see the blue sky that we took photos for a while and then left quickly. Please listen to the following words from our teammates for the reason - "Hurry up! Go to Qinghai Lake early while the weather is good!" This word woke us up, and then we rushed to the car, hahaha.
The first high altitude… Are you nervous? I feel a little bit, after all, people who are afraid of heights are a little different from us… The teacher proudly said that she took a beautiful photo for us here… But I still like the rich colors of this place… The wind horse flags fluttered in the wind, with hopeful eyes… The flocks of sheep in the wild are like clouds in the sky, floating and floating, drifting into the distance… The outline of the distant mountains looks like fog, rain and wind… Even through the car window, I can still get its beauty…
The continuous mountains are shrouded in mist and covered with snow. It is a bit cold. The clean mountain road guides the direction. The wind blows the grass low and you can see cattle and sheep along the way. There is no destination. The scenery is on the road. Every place makes people intoxicated. Nature is incomparably magical.
The prayer flags on Laji Mountain are a unique landscape on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. You can see strings of colorful flags hanging between pavilions and pine trees everywhere, printed with dense Tibetan mantras, scriptures, Buddha statues, and mascots. It is a kind of sustenance, a yearning, and an expectation for beautiful things. It not only has many religious meanings, but also is a piece of high-level art, forming a unique and beautiful landscape...
The wind on Laji Mountain is really strong and cold, a bit bone-chilling, giving people a feeling of being in a refrigerator, but very comfortable. It is all green around, and the hillsides are full of herds of cattle and sheep. The air is very fresh. This breath of nature makes you want to breathe a few more times. It is right to describe it as refreshing. There is also a temple on the top of the mountain, which requires tickets, and you can ride a yak to take pictures.
The natural scenery is worth a visit, with green mountains and clear waters, clouds and mist, and rugged mountain roads, it's so beautiful!
The Laji Mountain Pass is 3,820 meters above sea level and is a stunning view on the way to Qinghai Lake. Enjoy the beautiful scenery of green mountains, green grass, and hillsides full of cattle and sheep!
Laji Mountain is 3,500 meters above sea level. At first, we were worried about altitude sickness, but soon we were attracted by the cows and sheep on the mountain. The city people who saw so many cows and sheep for the first time were very excited and got off the car to play. I really like this feeling of climbing over mountains.
There is a small attraction at the top of the mountain, but we didn't go in. The top of the mountain was foggy and I couldn't see anything. The wind was strong and cold, and I felt a little dizzy. It is said that the toilet at the top of the mountain is worth experiencing, you can feel the wind blowing on your buttocks and the feeling of the water column being uncontrolled in the strong wind.
The altitude is 3820 meters, the scenery is beautiful and not very high.
Going to Laji Mountain, taking the Zhaha Highway, the scenery outside the window began to show the characteristics of the plateau, with continuous green mountains in the distance, lush trees nearby, clouds in the sky so low that they can be touched, and wind horse flags fluttering in the wind. The weather is different every time you climb a mountain. When you reach the Laji Mountain Pass, it is the first high point of this journey, 3,820 meters, and the pass is very foggy. The friends were very excited and got off the car to climb the mountain and take pictures. In less than a while, they complained about holding their breath and having headaches. The altitude sickness came. After a short rest, we continued to move forward. The fog became thicker and thicker, and the visibility was less than 5 meters. The subsequent Riyue Mountain and Daotang River did not arouse everyone's interest.
The scenery along Laji Mountain is really beautiful. There are many sheep raised by herdsmen along the way. If you see a particularly beautiful view, you can stop and take pictures. It is definitely not inferior to some scenic spots.
The ticket to Laji Mountain is 20 yuan per person, and you can wear the costumes and use the bows and arrows for free. We wore the ethnic costumes and took a lot of photos. We stayed in this place for almost two hours just to take photos. But the scenery is indeed beautiful.
It's a must-go place. I still had altitude sickness when I first went up there, so don't do strenuous exercise. There is a scenic spot nearby, but I didn't go in because there were beautiful views all along the way.
Laji Mountain is free (I heard from my companions that it sometimes costs 15 yuan per person). When climbing Laji Mountain, you have to walk slowly because it is 3,820 meters above sea level. Be careful of altitude sickness. While walking, enjoy the scenery and breathe the fresh air. Everything is so comfortable.
It seems to be a must-go road, no need to stick to one point, walking on the winding mountain road, there are cattle and sheep on it. It is still a bit cold on the mountain.
This is the dividing line between the Loess Plateau and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
Distinctive Tibetan architecture, colorful prayer flags fluttering in the wind, and wind horses dancing in the sky.
The ticket to the small scenic spot on Laji Mountain is 30 yuan. After entering, you can ride a yak and take photos for free.
If you have enough time, it is recommended not to go through the Laji Mountain Tunnel, but to take the S101 tourist road to pass the Laji Mountain Pass, where you can see a more primitive and beautiful Laji Mountain. The first pass of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is a landmark, and the temple style is very unique, suitable for taking pictures. The whole place is not big, there is an observation deck at the back, be careful of altitude sickness when climbing up. The ticket is 20 yuan, which is the only cheap one on this trip, and it also includes wearing Tibetan clothes and riding yaks.
The process of driving up the mountain is far more fun than driving to the top of the mountain.
The mountains are undulating, with smooth lines and a strong sense of rhythm.
The cattle and sheep all over the mountains always give people endless surprises.
There is no doubt that the local tyrants who occupy one hill after another,
He is the uncle who leads the horse for you to take photos.
Not far from the top of the mountain where you can check in, there is a place where Tibetans worship.
Friends who are interested can hang out here, but don’t stay too long, because even in July you need to wear a mink coat.
(1) It takes about 1 hour to drive from Ta’er Monastery to Laji Mountain
(2) Ticket price: 0 yuan
(3) Tour duration: Do not stay too long. It is best to take a bus to enjoy the scenery along the way.
(4) Notes: The altitude is high, so try not to run or jump, and be careful of altitude sickness; the temperature at the top of the mountain is low, so be sure to keep warm when you get off the car to play.
It was almost noon, the weather was sunny, and when we were going up the mountain road, I was overwhelmed by the scenery on the road. I had never seen such a beautiful scenery before! ! ! ! I cried with excitement.
Zongkalaze is built on the top of Laji Mountain. The driver stopped the car here. SH was a little excited and seemed to forget the altitude under her feet. She ran happily and was soon stopped by us. After all, we just came from the plain to the altitude of 3800, and there was no time to adapt. Everyone was a little headache.
On the way to Qinghai Lake, you have to cross this mountain. The altitude gradually rises, but it is only more than 3,000 meters. There is also a temple on the side of the road.
Laji Mountain is a branch of Riyue Mountain and an important transportation route in and out of Xining. It is located between the Huangshui River and the main stream of the Yellow River, starting from the mouth of Ganzi River in the west and ending at the border of Qinghai Province in the east. It is 260 kilometers long and 20-40 kilometers wide. Most of the peaks are between 4,000 and 4,500 meters above sea level. The highest peak, Yeniu Mountain, is 4,832 meters above sea level. Many mountain passes have been formed due to the cutting of the water system. The car meandered up along the zigzag road. When we reached the top of the mountain, we found that all the vehicles were parked here, and tourists were here to visit and take pictures. The scenery here surprised us tourists who had just entered the Qinghai Plateau.
The highest point on the Northwest Loop is 3,800 meters. It was still summer at the foot of the mountain, but it was snowing on the mountain. It was quite interesting. Don't expect any public services in this kind of place, so garbage is thrown everywhere.
The altitude is 3800, which is OK. I don't feel anything. The scenery on the road is so beautiful that I don't want to sleep. There are cattle and sheep eating grass, blue sky and white clouds. There is also this kind of tent, which is very impressive. I fell in love with the plateau.
Because of the high altitude, when we arrived at Laji Mountain, it was already covered with snow and ice, and it was foggy with visibility of about 3 meters. One girl was so cold that she didn't get out of the car.
Passing by, this should be the first time I saw the meadow, cattle and sheep with my own eyes, it was still very exciting
It was windy and rainy when we arrived at the scenic spot. It was July and my hands were frozen. . .
Laji Mountain is located in the southernmost branch of the eastern section of the Qilian Mountains, at the junction of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the Loess Plateau. It is a must-visit check-in spot. Every time I see the prayer flags, I feel a special feeling in my heart, and I suddenly feel enlightened.
Arriving at Laji Mountain, I felt a little bit of altitude sickness. The car passed through the mountains, the cattle and sheep were plump, the sky was blue, the clouds were white, and the colorful cloth was flying. The temple was not solemn at all because of too many tourists.
The thick prayer flags on the top of the mountain added some solemnity to the plateau. Because we were in a hurry to go to Qinghai Lake and felt that the geographical value was greater than the viewing value, we did not stop and just passed by in a hurry. I can take a closer look next time I drive by myself.
In May, Laji Mountain was still covered with thick snow. Laji Mountain should be the highest altitude of this trip.
I feel that the scenery of Laji Mountain is not as beautiful as the scenery along the way.
Laji Mountain (Laji Mountain) is a branch of Riyue Mountain. It is the boundary mountain between Huangzhong County and Guide County, and is a must-pass place from Xining to Guide.
The altitude is close to 4,000 meters. As the weather is gloomy and quite cold, it is recommended to wear a thin coat.
To go to Laji Mountain, you need to take a winding mountain road. The scenery is still very beautiful. There are many goats, yaks and other cute animals on the mountain. The young lady seemed to have never seen such a big deal before and was super excited. The driver stopped on the road to let us play and took pictures of us.
On Laji Mountain, our master invited us to eat authentic yak yogurt! In the tent, we ate the old yogurt with white sugar, which was sour and sweet and had a unique taste~
You can see many colorful prayer flags on Mount Laji, which are usually hung on the mountain, in temples or other places believed to be spiritual.
You can wear a hat and a shawl to create a stylish look~
Recommendation index: four stars.

I'm used to seeing mountains in Guangxi, so I didn't find this place so surprising. But it's different from our mountains. There are cattle and sheep everywhere, and the altitude is high. The higher you go, the more stuffy your chest becomes. It gets worse when you walk. In our clinical terms, it feels like a squeezing feeling in the chest.
There are a lot of marmots here, which is very rare. Later, when I arrived at the grassland, I really saw one or two marmots at each hole. No wonder the herdsmen don’t like these little guys. They are so rampant.
The snow-capped mountains along the way have not melted yet. The roads are basically winding and magnificent, with many cattle and sheep on the hillsides. Arriving at Laji Mountain, 3,820 meters above sea level, I had a slight altitude sickness and my head was swollen. The big clouds in the sky were hanging low, as if they were walking in the sky. This is what Qinghai looks like in my impression. The prayer flags whistled in the wind, and there was a little rain occasionally.
There are cows and sheep everywhere, and cute marmots everywhere on the road. Some scenery can only be seen with the eyes and cannot be captured by mobile phone cameras.
Laji Mountain (20 yuan) The path leading to the back peak has not been fully repaired. Play for half an hour.
The mountain is very cool and the air is very fresh. Only in the mountains can you find such fresh air. The altitude here is about 4,000 meters, so it is also relatively cool on the top of the mountain. The wind is strong. You can bring a thin coat or put a scarf on your shoulders. There are also many shawls for sale locally. We couldn't help getting off the car to take some photos. The fresh air made me linger.
Arriving at Zongkha Latse, known as the "ancestor of all mountains and temple of all gods", standing at an altitude of 4,188 meters, you can really touch heaven with your hand.
"The ancestor of all mountains, the temple of all gods" refers to the Zongkharatse on the top of Laji Mountain in Guide County, Qinghai Province. Zongkharatse, located on the top of Laji Mountain in Guide County, Qinghai Province, has a building height of 37 meters and an area of 1,672.24 square meters. On April 9, 2016, Zongkharatse was certified as the Guinness World Records title of "the largest Laze".
At that time, I looked up at the colorful clouds under the blue sky, looked at the white snow on the icebergs in the distance, and listened to the gentle wind in the distance. I was infected by the pure light, and a feeling of happiness emerged in my mind. I was no longer lonely and manic, no longer sad and calculative.
The scenery on the road will cause you a bit of altitude sickness at the highest point. You will feel very close to the clouds, and the temple on the top of the mountain looks so sacred.
It is suitable for driving slowly, with scenery along the way, few people, and more original ecology...
There is a temple on Laji Mountain. I asked and vaguely remember that it costs 40 yuan per person, so we walked to the opposite side of the mountain where it is free. As we walked, it started to snow lightly. The sky darkened and then cleared. Clouds came and went. I had almost taken some photos, but suddenly the sky turned blue... The snow stopped, but the wind was still strong. I was a little afraid that the tripod would be blown down. The white dots on the top of the mountain are unmelted snow.
Laji Mountain, 4188, no altitude sickness, you can see the snow-capped mountains in the distance.
The joy and excitement of seeing the snow-capped mountains for the first time were transmitted to every strand of hair. When I climbed up the mountain, I saw that snow was still falling.
At the top of Laji Mountain, snowflakes were falling and prayer flags were dancing in the wind. We didn't feel cold even though we were only wearing a pair of pants. Although the scenery at the top of the mountain was beautiful, the road was not easy to walk on, slippery and muddy. Fortunately, we wore boots.
Ta'er Monastery - Laji Mountain (32 kilometers, about 40 minutes' drive), Laji Mountain is worth a visit. The scenery on the road is beautiful, and you can see many yaks and sheep. There are some fun activities on Laji Mountain, such as archery, wearing Tibetan costumes, taking photos, etc. The snow-capped mountains are set against the blue sky and white clouds, and the scenery is very beautiful.
You can enjoy the Laji Mountain from the Zhaha Highway, which runs along the halfway point of the Laji Mountain. There are few cars and people on the road, but the scenery is very stunning. On the right hand side, the natural landscapes such as the Shuanma Village formed by the Laji Mountain are vivid, with yaks, sheep and horses scattered on the steep slopes and large areas of plateau grass slopes; on the left hand side, the slopes are gentle, with abundant water and grass. In addition to large groups of cattle and sheep, there are herders' tents in between. Mountains, meadows, cattle and sheep, pastoral songs, plus the empty blue sky and leisurely white clouds, what a scene of grassland heaven road!
