This is not Gansu; it’s clearly Cyber Jiangnan! Sea of Clouds at Tianchi

🌅 At 4 a.m., the winding mountain road makes you question life—but the moment the sun leaps over the sea of clouds, golden light floods the 3,000-meter meadow, and wild deer silhouettes cross the ridge, it’s all worth it!

🧭 1. Itinerary + Transportation
🐎 1. Qianba Pasture: Free epic shots on the cloud-level grassland
🛣️ Latest road conditions: 1.5 hours self-drive from the city (navigate to “Qianba Pasture”), last 5 km of gravel road is very bumpy! Sedans proceed with caution; SUV or chartered car recommended.
🌄 Sunrise tips: May to October is prime time, summer sunrise around 5:30 a.m. Arrive 1 hour early to secure a spot on the viewing platform; down jacket + non-slip shoes are essential (near 0°C early morning).

🌊 2. Wen County Tianchi:
🎟️ Combo ticket deal: Buy a ticket for the “White Horse Ceremony” show (8:30 p.m. session), and get free entry to Tianchi within 4 days (original price 70 RMB). Immerse yourself in White Horse Tibetan culture + boat on the clear waters—double the value.

🚗 Transportation tips:
✅ Self-drive: Wudu → G345 National Road → Wen County → S219 Provincial Road (4 hours total, many curves, bring motion sickness medicine);
❌ Shuttle bus: Wudu South Bus Station → Wen County (32 RMB/person, plus 100 RMB for shared ride to the scenic area, takes longer).
