Live Your Best Lives
If you don’t visit the Northwest, you will never know how wonderful our motherland is.
Starting from the ancient Silk Road, places such as Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, Crescent Lake, Zhangye and others have been endowed with many legendary colors.
It is empty, open, vast and uninhabited here, as if you are in a no-man's land.
How many geological wonders can you see if you walk from south to north and from east to west?
Vastness, desolation, warmth, unrestrainedness, gentleness and tenderness, all truly converge on this route.
"China's beauty is seven-tenths in the northwest"
This route covers the most classic beautiful scenery in China, and it is so exciting just by looking at the pictures!
After checking airfare, I found that in April, the lowest price for a one-way flight from Hangzhou to Lanzhou is just over 300. What are you waiting for? ! ! Let's set off together with Xiaoxia Shangyou!
The issue stems from the immense pressure of rising costs across all aspects of our Northwest Legends itinerary optimization plan. At the same time, various travel products are constantly reducing itineraries to maintain affordable prices.
The two-day trip to Dunhuang was spotted by my office colleagues. The advantage of omitting Dunhuang is that it can greatly save travel time, accommodation time, and ticket fees.
As shorter trips become increasingly mainstream travel products, this seems to be an option worth considering.
2023 Northwest Line Actual Shot
But just as the office colleagues began to discuss the pros and cons of this plan, Yang Gu, the product manager who had just returned from the northwest, rushed in with a suitcase and roared...
This product manager packed his bags and went to the Northwest to start a new year's tour plan in March before the Northwest scenic spots were open. His most important job is to reinterpret the travel series "Legend of the Northwest" with the legend in its name.
Ensure that this "Return of the King" route, which has been in operation for more than 10 years and was once chosen by 30,000 people, still maintains its legendary color.
He appealed to our emotions and made clear our reasoning. "Qinghai Lake - Chaka Salt Lake - Dunhuang - Jiayuguan - Zhangye" is like the backbone of a circular route. Coupled with various seasonal flowers and fresh attractions, every tourist traveling to the Northwest can feel the charm of the Northwest.
Speaking of Dunhuang, Yanggu excitedly described to us the product arrangements of our Northwest Legend Route, which will allow tourists to enjoy more charm of travel.
We will stay in Dunhuang for two consecutive days. Besides the well-known Mogao Grottoes and Mingsha Mountain, tourists can also enjoy other free choices in this oasis city on the edge of the desert.
In the evening, visit Dunhuang's Shazhou Night Market to experience the thriving street vendor economy. Before heading to Crescent Lake in the afternoon, stop by Dunhuang Bookstore for a cup of Silk Road Coffee sprinkled with flowers, or visit Dunhuang's museums or performances.
The above travel pleasures make the trip lively and make the trip to the Northwest worthwhile.
This year we have even placed more emphasis on the Dunhuang section. The Northwest Legend Exclusive Group will go to the Yulin Grottoes derived from Dunhuang, and will walk to the Zhaixing Pavilion in the morning to enjoy a breakfast overlooking the main scenic area of Mingsha Mountain.
The description of Yanggu rekindled my colleagues' heartfelt yearning for the northwest. A route that changes its world-class destination every day is always popular.
One trip can satisfy all your fantasies about lakes, snow-capped mountains, grasslands, colorful hills, city walls, murals, deserts, yardangs, salt lakes and glaciers. What else is there to worry about?
The Northwest Legend mainly passes through Gansu and Qinghai, and is also known as the Gansu-Qinghai Loop Line.
Gansu is ranked as the top destination in Lonely Planet, surpassing many other destinations in Asia. The Silk Road connects the Central Plains with the Western Regions, while Qinghai boasts the Sanjiangyuan National Park, showcasing unique scenic wonders and a plateau of water towers. Leveraging our rich natural and cultural resources, we create legendary products that meet diverse needs.
First, in 2023, we'll upgrade all of our day-trip hotels to 4-Diamond status! Next, let's take a look at how to choose the Legendary itinerary that's right for you!
🌟9 days and 8 nights Lanzhou departure Northwest Grand Loop preferred
For your first trip to the Northwest, it's perfect to start with Northwest Legend Route A. Every day you'll see textbook-worthy sights, and the itinerary is relatively relaxed, perfect for a family outing.
We have arranged many unique spots for the trip around Qinghai Lake - Chaka Salt Lake - Dunhuang - Jiayuguan - Zhangye Danxia - Menyuan.
At Qinghai Lake, we can stay by the lake and take in the sunset and sunrise.
We offer a special lakeside cycling tour to expand your tour radius within a limited time.
When the time is right, in addition to rape flowers, we also look for verbena or geranium flower fields, so that the content of the Qinghai Lake trip is not limited to the scenic area.
At Chaka Salt Lake, the Sky Mirror reflects every visitor. At the end, there's an extended train track and sea salt ice cream to tantalize your taste buds.
The extended viewing time at Mingsha Mountain and Zhangye Scenic Area allows you to stay from daylight until after sunset. This extra-long viewing time allows you to spend more time posing, giving you more time than you would if you were traveling independently.
Pay one month in advance to guarantee the normal ticket for Mogao Grottoes during the peak season, and you will enjoy the benefits of 2 scene area digital movies + 8 on-site cave visits, and no need to queue with the exclusive tour guide.
Before leaving Jiayuguan, you'll be given a detailed explanation of each brick. Besides admiring the awe-inspiring city walls, the most interesting part of this journey is getting your pass stamped at the exit gate.
As for the Yangguan Pass to the west, the Mati Temple at the foot of the Qilian Mountains, the emerald-like Da Qaidam Salt Lake, and the vast rapeseed flowers in Menyuan, they are waiting for you to blend in and become your own unique scenery.
🌟9 days and 8 nights from Xining - Depth! Depth! Depth!
However, within the same 9 days, in addition to the scenic spots described in Line A (except Mati Temple), Line B also has a variety of landscape types such as Yadan, Water Yadan, Qilian Snow Mountain, and Tibetan temples.
This naturally adds hundreds of kilometers to the journey, making daily excursions more compact. But within the same nine days, Line B added countless hidden gems to its itinerary.
The Qilian region has added Arou Temple, Qilian Zhuoer Mountain, Alien Valley, and Qilian Zhuoer Mountain, which are just next to Qilian County. The red rocks, barley, grassland, rape flowers, and snow-capped mountains, painted in different colors, are called "unforgettable in this life" by many people.
Alien Valley is a geological wonder that we will explore and operate in 2022. Its shape and colors will not disappoint you.
The Qaidam Basin has the Nanbaxian Yadan and the Water Yadan. The Water Yadan deep in the Qaidam is unique in the world and there is no similar landscape destination.
There is also Jinsha Bay/Ta'er Temple (the itinerary is arranged according to the number of people, please refer to the product details page for specific description). As for the three wonders of Ta'er Temple, butter sculptures, pile embroidery, and murals, they are well-known throughout the Tibetan temples.
The blessing of the Eight Treasures is the last blessing before the end of the journey!
🌟8 days and 7 nights of leisurely and leisurely travel
Speaking of the exclusive tour, the two nights' accommodation at Dunhuang Villa revealed the comfort of having upgraded hotels throughout the trip.
The accommodation in the mountains of Dunhuang is full of the charm of the Silk Road. The breakfast at the Zhaixing Pavilion of the hotel faces the oasis and the desert, which is the most comfortable breakfast environment in the Dunhuang travel scene.
This VIP experience is reflected in every area. We arranged an equestrian walk at Qinghai Lake, VIP access to Chaka Salt Lake via boat, and exclusive shuttle buses to the Colorful Danxia. We also visited secret spots inaccessible to regular tourists. During peak season, we also enjoyed exclusive trips away from the crowds. Start your journey here.
🌟6 days and 5 nights boutique small group focusing on pure play
For small car tours, you might need some travel experience. The freedom of traveling with a small car is perhaps unique, as you can travel in groups of three, schedule flexibility, and use the online butler service to arrange your time within the scenic area.
What's more, traveling by car is the only route that allows you to stay in the Water Yadan Scenic Area. Prepare your own unique strategy and have a different trip to the Northwest!
This series reveals countless hidden treasures along the way. Whether it's modern art sculptures, the occasional antelope and rainbow, Jiayuguan and Zhangye, hidden night markets and barbecue spots, or Dunhuang's yellow noodles and apricot peel water, they all enrich this legendary journey.
Now, the entire series of products have been re-optimized and upgraded. Although there have been a large number of batches without any publicity, we still want to once again solemnly recommend to you your first trip to the Northwest, Northwest Legend!
