For self-driving tours, the most enjoyable thing is to ride among the mountains and rivers, above the wilderness, among the forests and seas, such as to Tibet, Xinjiang, Western Sichuan, Qinghai, Gannan.

These places are not only blessed with natural scenery, ancient and profound historical humanities, but also have roads that allow old drivers to show their skills, whether they are adventurous, unobstructed, or primitive…In short, on the road of self-driving, everything is “isolated from the crowds.” “, freedom and chic have become synonymous with flying souls. Among them, the most favorite is Tibet, the most yearning is Xinjiang, the most profound is Western Sichuan, the most memorable is Gannan, and Qinghai… makes me feel that the wind is the most free. Qilian County, named after being located in the hinterland of the middle section of Qilian Mountains, is adjacent to the Hexi Corridor of Gansu, the main passage of the ancient Silk Road to the north, so it is known as the “North Gate” of Qinghai. Self-driving here is really fresh in my memory. The area of ​​Qilian County is amazing. It covers 14,000 square kilometers, accounting for 41% of the total land area of ​​the prefecture. The average elevation in the territory is 3169 meters, and the county seat is 2,787 meters above sea level. For self-driving travel enthusiasts, Qilian is definitely a paradise for self-driving. Its altitude is relatively comfortable. At the same time, it has beautiful scenery such as snow-capped mountains, lakes, grasslands and ancient temples. It is an important plateau eco-tourism destination in Qinghai Province. The epitome of “Damei Qinghai”. It is also an important resource-rich area in Qinghai Province. It is known as the “Ural of China” and has the reputation of “Qilian” and “Oriental Switzerland”. The main scenic spots in Qilian are Zhuoer Mountain, Qilian Mountain Grassland, Bayi Glacier, etc., which are known as “Heavenly Qilian” and “Oriental Switzerland”. The Qilian Mountain where it is located has even more meaning of “Tianshan”. The Qilian Mountain Range is located in the northeast of China’s Qinghai Province and the western border of Gansu Province. It is one of the main mountain ranges in China. It stretches from northwest to southeast. There are 3306 glaciers. The peaks are usually 4000-5500 meters above sea level, and peaks above 4000 meters above sea level. It is covered with snow all year round, and the mountain valleys are also between 3000-3500 meters above sea level. The entire area is about 2062 square kilometers, which is known as the “Wanbao Mountain”. At the same time, it also has many mysterious legends, such as the “most mysterious” mountain in China. Where is the “Buzhou Mountain” recorded in historical books and legends? Some people say that it is Qilian Mountain. Qilian scenery in autumn is very beautiful. This is a rare scenery on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. It is completely different from most people’s impression of the desolation and barrenness of the Qinghai-Tibet land. There are dense virgin forests here, dominated by Qinghai spruce, juniper, poplar, and sea buckthorn, with a forest coverage rate of 13.5%. There is also the Qilian Mountain grassland, one of the six most beautiful grasslands in China. The Qilian Mountain grassland is one of the scenic spots not to be missed when driving in Qilian. Its representative Damaying Grassland is in the basin between Yanzhi Mountain and Qilian Mountain. In July and August each year, the Qilian Mountains, which are adjacent to the grassland, are still covered in silver, but the grasslands are “blue waves”, dotted with cattle, horses, and sheep, which are spectacular and unique. In addition to the magnificent natural scenery, Qilian also has splendid multicultural treasures. For thousands of years, the ancestors who lived here have created countless splendor. There are the Cayo cultural site, the Bronze Age culture of the northwest region; there are ancient square cities, triangle cities, and Ebao ancient cities, of which Ebao ancient city is ancient silk One of the important stations on Lulu South Road; there is also the quaint and clean Arou Great Temple. Of course, the most beautiful scenery in Qilian is still on the road by self-driving. The idyllic scenery above the mountains is on both sides of the road. Open the windows or skylights, listen to the song of the road, let the wind blow on your cheeks, and feel the chic of chasing the wind. Will also deeply appreciate the freedom of wind.
