Chasing Autumn Around the World｜Gangjia Grassland-Baishi Cliff-Bajiaocheng Ruins

👍Most recommended: Ganga Grassland, Baishiya, Bajiaocheng

🌟Highlights: Ganga Grassland, about an hour's drive from Sangke Grassland, is also full of surprises: the grassland surrounded by mountains is vast and pure, the undulating mountains and the winding Yangqu River and Yangla River are covered by light and shadow, and the local Ganga Tibetan sheep wander leisurely, and you can easily take amazing pictures of the scenery.

❤Recommendation reason: When you come to the end of Ganga Grassland, you will see a huge stone wall towering into the sky, which is the Baishi Cliff. Under the huge rock walls are quiet temples and houses. You can even vaguely feel the loneliness and divinity protected by the mountains. The grasslands and villages like in myths have become reality here.

The human civilization on the Ganga grassland is not limited to the villages under the cliffs. The Bajiao Ancient City has also witnessed the disputes here for thousands of years. This site with eight city corners and a cross-shaped city wall was once a fortress for transportation between Gansu and Qinghai in ancient times. It was also an important town that the central governments of all dynasties fought for with dynasties such as Tubo and Western Xia.

Today, the Bajiaocheng Ruins has been listed as a key cultural relic protection site in Gansu Province. Coins and bricks and stones from the Tang and Song dynasties have been unearthed here, and terraced fields left by the ancients have also been discovered. The unconventional urban structure and rich cultural relics make this place a rare historical research center in China.

Opening hours: Free and open all day
