What travelers say:
The scenery in Zagana is beautiful. If you have enough time, it is recommended to stay for one night and find a higher place to see the whole picture of the village. Rock Road, a few kilometers to the top of the mountain is not very good, but the scenery is excellent, it is a worthwhile trip!

Zhagana Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Zagana, also known as Zagala, is located in Diebu County, Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture. The ancient wooden Tibetan houses in the village are built along the mountains, and the local people work quietly and simply among the hillsides and rivers, forming a wonderful pastoral scenery. Whether sightseeing, photography, or visiting the traditional life of the simple Tibetan people, it is a wonderful place not to be missed. Zhagana is located in the valley of Yiwa Township, Diebu County. It takes about 1 hour by car from Diebu County and about 2 hours from Langmusi. Zagana is suitable for visiting in July and August. At this time, the grassland is green and the scenery is beautiful. Generally, most tourists come from Langmusi when they take the Gannan and Sichuan routes. The regular time to visit is to arrive in the afternoon and take a leisurely stroll through the village to enjoy the view. Stay in a Tibetan homestay for one night, and leave after shooting the morning clouds and sunrise the next morning. In addition, there is a two-day trekking route in the back mountain of Zhagana, which can be rented in the village or on foot. Zhagana Village is further divided into four small villages. From bottom to top, they are Dongwa Village, Yeri Village, Dari Village and Daiba Village. The distance between Dongwa Village and Daiba Village is about 5 kilometers. The road connects four villages. You can walk or drive to visit and take pictures one by one. It takes about 1 hour to walk from the bottom to the top. Entering by car from the entrance of the village, the first thing to arrive is Dongwa Village at the foot of the mountain. There is a big stone called Dashimen. The hillside next to Dashimen is a suitable place for taking pictures. Here, you can take pictures of the beautiful scenery of the village built along the mountains. The back of the village is wrapped by cliffs, and at the top of the village is a Tibetan Buddhist monastery. The scenery is fantastic and beautiful. Dongwa Village has a large population and is also a good place to stay. You can set up accommodation in the farmhouse here, and then walk or drive to the higher villages. It takes about 1 hour to walk to the higher places. Going up the mountain along the road is Yeri Village. There is an open barley field next to Yeri Village. You can often see scenes of Tibetan people busy in the fields, and the scene is peaceful and simple. In addition, there is a house in Yeri Village where the famous traveler Joseph Locke once lived for more than a year, but now it can only be visited outside. Continue to move forward, and after passing through Dari Village, there is a viewing platform with a wide field of view, which is suitable for taking pictures of the whole village. You can see the whole village and the fantastic rock wall behind it. All the houses are built with old wooden roofs and earthen walls. Wonderful place. After shooting the panorama, you can retreat back to Dongwa Village for accommodation. Due to the relatively remote terrain, Daiba Village has less scenery to see, so you can skip it. In addition to taking a lap in the afternoon, Zagana has a lot of content to look forward to. Every morning, there are clouds and mists lingering between the rock walls on the mountain, and the starry sky when the lights are dead at night is also beautiful and splendid, which is a good opportunity to take pictures. If you have enough time, you can also take 1-2 hours to climb the back mountain of Dongwa Village to see the temple on the top of the mountain. The houses passing by are all ancient buildings, and the wooden wedge-riveted structure is even more ancient and peculiar. If you are lucky, you can meet the kind-hearted local people, and you will be invited to your home to taste traditional food such as tsampa butter tea and experience the simplicity and enthusiasm of the local people. In addition, there is a two-day hiking route behind the village, which can lead to untouched lakes and stone forests, with pristine and beautiful scenery. However, this route is only suitable for outdoor enthusiasts and requires a night of camping. When walking this route, you can rent a horse in the village and ask a groom to lead the way. Generally, a horse costs about 150 yuan a day.

Visiting a local mountain festivalSometimes you're just at the right place at the right time. During our roadtrip in South-Gansu, we climbed a mountain and found out about the local Tibetan festival, that occurs for one week during August. We tried some homemade food and had a chat waiting for the sunset. We even met a guy from Xi'An who travels there every summer. Where? Zhagana offers a stunning landscape, forests and small villages. Locals do both farming and pasturing work in Zhagana. The best season to visit is from May to October. Summer is the best time to go as everything turns to green, winter gets cold! ⭐ While visiting Zhagana, there are many opportunities to experience the local culture. Just walk around and see what happens. 😊 Enjoy your trip! 🚐 Zhagana is better for a car trip. 🎫 Entrance fee is around 20 RMB. #tibet #village #historicculture#summervacation#hikingtrailsA_Wanderer4

The Road of RockReissue for Gannan From Shangri-La to Gannan, I still have to admit that I am just a weakling on the plateau. At the 3200-meter Norland camp, I vomited to the point of questioning life. But still, with the spirit of a chicken blood, I drove for 5 hours and completed the top-level self-driving route with the highest altitude of 4000 meters - The Road of Rock. The scenery is too good, the road is quite easy to drive, from Zhagana to Zagulu, you can see the natural wonders, majestic and perilous, so great and enchanting.TONY PARSONS

The scenery in Zagana is beautiful. If you have enough time, it is recommended to stay for one night and find a higher place to see the whole picture of the village. Rock Road, a few kilometers to the top of the mountain is not very good, but the scenery is excellent, it is a worthwhile trip!
This trip to Gannan on May 1st is very unforgettable. Most of the most beautiful scenery is on the road, so it is too important to have a reliable driver. Thanks to the driver Li, who is high in car skills, sincere and enthusiastic, and thoughtful service. It is a good travel experience.
not bad. It's easy to have altitude sickness. I didn't go up, I just played down. The Fairy Beach is really good and the children have fun. It's just that the highest peak is more than 4,000 meters. The round-trip time is too long. If you ride a horse, it costs 700 yuan. It's really not cheap.
Personally feel very good, although the scenery is April, the grass is not green, but the scenery is as beautiful. Encountered the simple and kind local villagers, the traveler's home where the scenic spot was entered, the room location was very good, that is, the proprietress did not speak integrity, and said that the floor heating was turned off before the check-in. It may be that we turned off the heating in the middle of the night. Breakfast is also very unpalatable, thanks to our outside to pack ramen. But it did not affect the beauty of Zhagana. The only downside is that there are too few warning signs in the scenic spot, a bit awkward
1. Zhagana is worthy of being a pure land on the earth. From every different place to observe, you can get a different beautiful experience, which makes people intoxicated. 2. Staying at the B&B at night, the landlord was very enthusiastic, the room had electric heating and air conditioning, and stayed for one night, very warm and comfortable.
The secret environment of Gannan, the magical landscape of nature and majestic, and the mountains full of primitive atmosphere, bring people a shock to the soul. The clouds and mists are like a veil covering the magnificent beauty of the mountain. The clear sky and the sun make tourists more able to see the transparent beauty of Zhagana. The original horse manure taste in the scenic road has also become one of the unforgettable features.
Buy tickets on Trip.com is fast, and then go to the entrance of the scenic spot to change tickets. The ticket at the entrance of the scenic spot is a yellow paper. You need to register your car number. When you enter the scenic spot, some places will be prone to congestion. It is not easy to park in the scenic spot, so it is best to stay there for one night. Find a homestay or hotel with a parking lot, so you don't have to worry about not finding a parking place.
