“Explore the Sacred Land of Gannan” — The earthly paradise beneath the plateau cliffs: the secret realm of Ganjia, a breathtaking sight that spans millennia

☑️ Ganjia Secret Realm • White Stone Cliff 📸 No wonder it was rated as a top attraction by National Geographic~ Here lies a wilder kind of poetry. The ruins of the octagonal ancient city enclose a quiet space, with the city walls’ edges echoing the distant White Stone Cliff. The cliff face is stark white and sharp; when sunlight hits it at an angle, it’s dusted with fragments of gold. The stream at the foot of the mountain babbles gently, adding a tender note to this majestic scene. The reason to come here is to witness the true face of White Stone Cliff — the entire view is like a wallpaper straight out of a dream. This place is like a magical boundary descending upon the world, with a 15 km stretch of gray-white sheer cliffs resembling a “natural Great Wall.” The White Stone Cliff temple is small; if you plan to visit Labrang Monastery, just viewing this temple from outside is enough. The scenery around the temple is beautiful, and you can even capture the S-shaped bay. The White Stone Cliff caves can be seen by walking along the boardwalk beside the stream. The Ganjia secret realm has a viewing platform where you can take panoramic photos. The weather here is truly windy and cloudy — ever-changing in an instant. Here’s a collection of White Stone Cliff at different times! ​​​

Recommended stay: Ganjia Eco Camping Site, where you can meet the stars privately on the balcony. As night falls, you can reach out and touch the coolness of the starry sky. Warm-hearted Tibetan locals offer homemade yogurt, with a milky aroma mixed with the fresh scent of the grasslands — a kind of peace you can only feel in Tibet.

Opening the window reveals poetry and distant horizons. When you wake up in the morning and draw back the curtains, you’ll find yourself surrounded by an endless sea of green. The rolling mountains in the distance appear faintly through the morning mist, while nearby, herds of cattle and sheep graze leisurely. Such beauty is truly nature’s greatest gift.
