Don't be fooled by fake travel guides!

Ladies, take my advice! Zoige is truly a magical destination during summer, and it's one of the least affected by the rainy season. Imagine rainbows after a drizzle and the orange sunset at the First Bend of the Yellow River 🌄.
I just returned from Zoige Grassland and stayed up late to summarize some tips 📝. All are practical advice to help you out!

⛅ Zoige Weather in August
👉 Average low temperature: 7-11°C, high temperature: 18-22°C
✔ Don't think August is warm enough for just a thin jacket! Bring a windbreaker.
✔ A camisole with a jacket won't suffice; the weather changes quickly, and you'll be shivering.
✔ It's best to wear a hat; the wind can give you headaches.

🌳 Practical Advice for Zoige
1⃣ Zoige isn't as cold as you might think; temperatures are around 15-20°C. No need for thick winter coats; a windbreaker or jacket is enough.
2⃣ There's a free viewing platform at the First Bend of the Yellow River's turning point, but the view isn't as good as the main spot.
3⃣ Along the Zoige Grassland, you'll find many flowers and scenic spots. Stop wherever you find beauty, and there are horseback riding options—make sure to confirm the prices!
4⃣ Be cautious about restaurant prices; some places charge tourists much higher 😡.
5⃣ Bring oxygen supplies in advance. I felt breathless climbing slopes too quickly.
6⃣ During sunny days, summer clothes are fine, but evenings or cloudy weather can get chilly. A windbreaker or lightweight down jacket is necessary.

🌟 Travel Tips: If you don't have local friends to guide you, consider joining a group tour. A 3-5 day itinerary is well-organized and more cost-effective than traveling solo.
