After two days in Diebu, my spending perspective was shattered

🌄【June in Diebu: What's it like being a "wild Zhuoma" in the Jiangnan of the Tibetan Plateau?】 Who said Gansu only has Dunhuang's deserts and Lanzhou's beef noodles? Diebu, this "stone treasure box" certified by China National Geography, is transformed into a palette of alpine azaleas and rapeseed flowers in June! 🏔️ Snow-capped mountains wear "green hats," Tibetan villages waft with cooking smoke, and the sound of the Bailong River is more soothing than ASMR... Two days and one night to master this "hidden paradise even immortals can't resist"~ 🚗【Two-day itinerary that'll leave you breathless】 Day 1: Visual overload of Tibetan villages and canyons ☀️ Morning: Rush into Zhagana (¥80 ticket includes shuttle bus), head straight to Dari Viewing Platform! Morning mist flows over stone peaks like milk, Tibetan rooftops glitter like gold dust—wearing a Tibetan robe for photos will have people asking if you're a local (rental ¥30/hour)~ 🍜 Noon: Storm into Dongwa Village Tibetan family restaurant—hand-torn lamb is fatty but not greasy, dipped in chili powder so delicious it'll make you stomp your feet! Pair it with rich, salty butter tea, and when you break open the tsampa bread, steam will fog up your camera~ 🌿 Afternoon: Lounge on Fairy Meadow (free!), the grassland soft as a mattress, wildflowers perfect for weaving into crowns. Spend ¥10 on sunflower seeds from Tibetan kids—squirrels will jump into your palms begging for treats! 🌌 Evening: Night stroll in Yeri Village (free!), camp out at Locke Viewing Platform for Milky Way shots. The homestay owner will bring a heater and barley wine to chat with you—the stars are so bright you can trace constellations~ Day 2: Red history meets culinary ecstasy 🏔️ Morning: Charter a car to Lazikou Scenic Area (free!). Standing at the 30-meter-wide pass, imagine Red Army soldiers charging—wild lilies on cliffs bloom more dramatically than a murder mystery plot! 🍲 Noon: Diebu County Snowland Yak Hotpot! Skin-on yak meat trembles when boiled, dipped in fermented bean chili sauce so good you'll lick the pot. Wild mushroom platter will blow your mind with freshness~ 🌅 Afternoon: Visit Tsirang Chairman Mao's Former Residence (free!). Vintage radios and kerosene lamps transport you back in time. Sneak a green apple from the courtyard tree—one bite will make you lose control of your facial expressions! 🌟【Must-do checklist】 1️⃣ Zhagana morning mist (6:00-8:00): Dari Viewing Platform offers the best angles. Wear a white dress for silhouettes—the fog adds a soft-focus filter! 2️⃣ Fairy Meadow picnic (free all day): Spread a blanket and lounge. When yak herds pass by, stay calm—they only want your apples~ 3️⃣ Lazikou seasonal waterfall: Rainy season turns it into a silver cascade. Stand close for a free "facial mist," but watch your step! 🏨【Sleep in Tibetan aesthetics】 • Photo fanatics: Choose Zhagana Cloudscape Glamping Tents—stargazing skylights let you count meteors in bed. The Milky Way is visible at 3am! • Local life lovers: Tubo Secret Hotel (Diebu town). The owner takes you mountain foraging. Attic rooms offer sunrise views of Tiger Head Mountain! 🚌【Transport tips】 • 5-hour drive from Lanzhou (SUV recommended), or take a bus to Diebu County then share a taxi to Zhagana (¥50/person). • Bloody lesson: Don't wear sandals in Tibetan villages! Cobblestones will murder your feet, and local girls will laugh at you all day~ 😋【5 food orgasms】 1️⃣ Fern pork: Free-range pigs fed on herbs. Marbled fat glows like amber—charcoal-grilled, the fat bursts like fireworks on your tongue! 2️⃣ Morel mushroom chicken soup: The "Hermès of fungi" soaks up broth. Crunchy texture like chewing stars—umami overload! 3️⃣ Barley wine: Sip through a straw. Mild buzz fights altitude sickness. When Tibetan guys toast, don't chicken out—down it to become brothers! 💰【Two-day expense report】 Day 1: Zhagana ticket ¥80 + robe ¥30 + hotpot ¥120 = ¥230 Day 2: Charter car ¥200 + yak hotpot ¥150 + barley wine ¥40 = ¥390 Total ¥620! Feels like paying "luxury tax" for your eyes and tongue—but every frame is worth it~ ⚠️【Love-hate tips】 • Love: June crowds are thin enough to claim entire meadows. 20°C summers feel like natural AC. Tibetan smiles are warmer than butter tea~ • Hate: Highland weather changes faster than an ex. Sunshowers and hail are normal—down jackets and sunscreen are mandatory! Here, you'll wake for dawn's first light on prayer flags, lose sleep over midnight galaxies, and crave yak yogurt's tangy sweetness forever... June in Diebu is where gods spill their paintbox—an urbanite's unforgettable "spiritual spa." You'll regret coming (why not sooner?) and miss it after leaving (especially that fern pork)! ✨
