Choose between Duri Viewing Platform to Wanhua Meadow (round trip ~2 km/1.5 hours) or Duri Village to Banzhouka (round trip ~8 km/3 hours), led by Tibetan cultural guides. Ride along streams and grasslands, explore stone forests and canyons, and immerse in wild, off-the-beaten-path fun! 3. **Exclusive Lounge Relaxation** 💺 Tight schedule? Before departing from Langmusi or Diebu County, book a product with lounge access. Enjoy comfy waiting areas, charging stations, and snacks—because travel should be stress-free! 4. **Tibetan Feast in Zhagana** 🥘 Don’t miss the delicious Tibetan cuisine! Hand-torn lamb, butter tea, Tibetan hotpot… Tender lamb, fragrant tsampa (roasted barley flour), and bubbling hotpot with local ingredients offer an immersive taste of Tibetan food culture—a pilgrimage for your taste buds! 🗺️ Classic 2-Day Itinerary 🔹 **Day 1**: Diebu County → Zhagana (1h drive) → Dongwa Village (stay in a Tibetan homestay) → Capture cliffside village shots at Great Stone Gate → Explore barley fields and visit Rock’s Former Residence in Yeri Village → Thangka painting experience. 🔹 **Day 2**: Sunrise and sea of clouds at Duri Viewing Platform → Hike Fairy Meadow (wildflowers/yak encounters) → Horseback riding or hiking the back mountain trail (for outdoor enthusiasts!) → Return. 🎫 Tickets & Money-Saving Tips • Tickets: Adults ¥80, discounted ¥40 for children/students/seniors, free for kids under 1.2m and seniors over 65. • Save Money: Packages are cheaper than buying separately! The ¥299 photo package (ticket + costume + shoot) is a hassle-free deal for great shots. 🏨 Accommodation Recs Stay in Dongwa Village! Plenty of homestays with stunning cliff and village views, plus starry nights ✨ For an authentic Tibetan experience, choose homestays offering "home visits"—you might even get to try tsampa and butter tea! ❗ Important Notes • Best time to visit: July-August, when the grasslands are lush and gorgeous! • For back mountain hikes, pack warm clothes and food—beginners should stick close to guides. • Respect local religious culture; avoid touching sacred items in monasteries or homes. Zhagana’s beauty lies in its majestic cliffs and mist, as well as the warmth of its Tibetan culture ❤️ Pack this guide and embark on your journey to become a "little Tibetan Zhuo Ma or Zhaxi"!
