Dingxi is not just about potatoes; Lugushan is the real treasure!

In Dingxi, Gansu, on the backbone of the Western Qinling Mountains, Lugushan faces the sky with its rugged spirit—the peak at 3,941 meters above sea level is the highest point of this mountain range⛰️.

Its name is a vivid description: exposed rocks, a silver-white appearance, and cliff-like peaks resembling skulls, strong and cold. However, beneath this "skeleton," there is a vibrant life: steep northern slopes, deep valleys; shrubs growing, streams flowing... It is this wild and gentle blend that has earned it the elegant title of "Dingxi Shangri-La."

Hiking over 10 kilometers and climbing nearly a thousand meters is a test of physical strength and a reward for the soul. When you finally stand on the summit and see the sea of clouds surging and rolling beneath your feet—that moment, all fatigue instantly disappears. You will deeply believe: no journey is wasted, every step counts. Be brave and set off, because we will never be younger than today!✨

【Some tips📝】
✅ Free! Free! Free! — An undeveloped, pristine secret spot.
✅ Hiking over 10 kilometers with significant elevation gain, but totally doable for women too💪!
✅ The wind at the summit is very strong! A windbreaker = life-saving gear🧥!
✅ The mountain road has many curves, experienced drivers please drive steadily and slowly🚗～
