Gannan: An Earthly Pure Land

Located in southwestern Gansu Province and the northeast of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture has both Tibetan culture and stunning plateau landscape.

This area is famous for having a similar feel to Tibet but doesn't require a Travel Permit. With the average altitude of 3000 meters above sea level, you can experience Tibetan culture and enjoy the plateau scenery in comfort and without the risk of altitude sickness.

Here you will see grand prairies, scattered lakes, monasteries, Tibetan villages, unique mountain peaks, and hidden wonderlands. This is a trip you will not want to miss.

Warriors and city tour Mark was an informative and welcoming guide and Mr Ho was our considerate and helpful driver. Mark made sure we got to see all the historical sights and bustling Muslim Quarter, and gave us great hints and tips for places to eat. China Highlights organised everything for us and it ran like clockwork. more Oct 2024, Discover293260
