The God's Backyard in Diebu

Every second in Diebu is a marvel at nature's whimsy🌿 5 days of immersive roaming in the "God's Reserved Land," quickly jot down this wild guide! You definitely won't regret it!!

Day 1: Lanzhou → Diebu | Entering the Green Secret Realm
Depart from Lanzhou heading south🚗, passing through the most beautiful 100-kilometer scenic route of Jiangdie, with cliffs alongside streams, every snapshot from the car window is a masterpiece📸. Arrive in Diebu County by evening, head straight to a Tibetan guesthouse! Zhuoma offers barley wine and a khata scarf, the first sip of butter tea is savory and warming, and at night, join the Guozhuang dance, even if your hands and feet are clumsy, it’s super fun💃.
✨Tips: As altitude rises, avoid running or jumping! Keeping your thermos handy is key~

Day 2: Deep Tour of Zhagana | Stone City Wonderland Strike
Early morning rush to Dari Viewing Platform! Morning mist flows over the Tibetan village like a river of milk, barley terraces look like the earth’s fingerprints, instantly understanding Locke’s “Eden”🌄.
• Morning climb to Fairy Beach: wildflowers form a Van Gogh painting, lie on the meadow watching prayer flags flutter
• Afternoon explore Stone Forest maze: General Rock and Divine Elephant Peak are stunning, sunlight beams like divine pillars
• Evening soak at Lasang Monastery: follow the incense smoke, recite the Heart Sutra, feeling completely calm🙏
Stay overnight at a scenic guesthouse, open the window to the starry Milky Way, romantically breathtaking✨!

Day 3: Guma Lake + Cuomei Peak | Wild to Soul Out-of-Body
The drive to Guma Lake is so healing🌊, the water is so clear you can see the stones at the bottom, surrounded by dense forest, the air is intoxicatingly fresh. In the afternoon, challenge Cuomei Peak, stand at the mountain pass and scatter Longda prayer flags, drone chasing the flags for photos, your social feed will be legendary📸!
🔥Must eat: Yak beef hotpot at the Black Card Station, spicy enough to make you gasp but you can’t stop!

Day 4: Ejie + Lazikou | Touching the Warmth of History
Morning visit to the Ejie Conference Site, the weathered walls of the old wooden house hold red memories, the guide’s talk deeply stirs your “red DNA”🇨🇳. Afternoon at Lazikou, standing at the strategic pass “One Man Guards the Pass,” the wind seems to echo history.
Evening Tibetan home visit: learn to knead tsampa, eat bracken pork (a geographical indication product!), laugh until your stomach hurts dancing Guozhuang in the courtyard🤣.

Day 5: Zhagana Return | Packing the Secret Realm Memories
Spend the last half day at Zhagana village, watch Tibetans farming with “Erniu Taigang” method, buy a marmot cultural souvenir as a keepsake. Pass by Milarepa Buddha Pavilion, walk clockwise around the tower to pray, a perfect ending✅.
