📅Travel guide: Navigate to Tanyao Gou Village, Tianzhu Tibetan Autonomous County, Wuwei, Gansu. Enter the village and drive to the end of the village, at the Qilian Mountain National Park stone monument. High-clearance vehicles and off-road vehicles can continue to drive about 2 kilometers inside, to the sign where any vehicles are prohibited from entering the reserve. You can hike in from there. The hiking route inside is about 5 to 7 kilometers!
🏨Accommodation guide: Stay in the county town of Tianzhu Tibetan Autonomous County. There are places to eat and shops for supplies in the village.
💗Other tips: Pay attention to the weather forecast. Enter on sunny days, and try to avoid going on cloudy or rainy days. There are shops and small supermarkets in Tanyao Gou Village for supplies, but there are no supply points inside the reserve. Bring enough food and water before entering. There is a herder's path inside; follow the herder's path and do not provoke the yaks inside, as some yaks can be aggressive. You can see many white yaks 😁 and wild marmots, but they will run away as soon as they see people and won't come to you for food. There are also flocks of sheep and deer 🦌🦌🦌.
