Kangle Grassland | Step into Hayao Miyazaki’s Summer, This Green Wonderland
📍 Location: Kangle Grassland, Zhangye, Gansu
💡 Recommendation Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
In May, it’s still the transition period, but in June, Kangle Grassland becomes legendary!
The endless green looks like God spilled a palette of colors🌱, the creek babbles by your feet, cattle and sheep lazily nibble grass like scattered cotton candy, and above you is a cartoon-like blue sky with white clouds☁️... What kind of magical place is this!
✨ Why come now?
✅ Peak greenery: The grassland is most lush from June to August, every photo looks like a Windows desktop!
✅ Fewer people, wild scenery: Compared to popular grasslands, this place is more pristine and tranquil, you can have the whole hillside to yourself!
✅ Summer paradise: Cool 20℃ temperature + breeze, 100 times more comfortable than air conditioning~
📸 Must-visit spots
1️⃣ Jiupaisong Viewing Platform: Overlook the layered pine forests and grasslands, like a 3D oil painting!
2️⃣ Creek and Wildflower Belt: Crouch down for close-ups of flowing water paired with wildflowers, perfect for photos (wear light-colored dresses for better shots!)
3️⃣ Shepherd’s Path: Encounter a goofy herd of yaks🐑, remember to keep your distance when interacting~
🚗 Travel Tips
▪️ Self-drive navigation to “Kangle Grassland,” about 1.5 hours from Zhangye city center
▪️ Recommended to charter a car or join a tour; some road sections have weak signals, off-road photography and camping tours offer great value
🌞 My Experience
Lying on the soft meadow, watching cloud shadows slide over the hillside, listening to the creek and zoning out... instantly understand why the ancients said “stealing half a day of leisure.” The beauty here has a healing magic, your phone can’t capture even a tenth of it! (But I still snapped 200 photos haha)
⚠️ Notes
▫️ Strong UV on the grassland! Sunscreen + hat are must-haves
▫️ Respect herder culture, don’t disturb cattle and sheep
▫️ Take your trash with you, protect this pure green💚
