Mugecuo Scenic Resort

Reviewed By TatianaC2047

The entrance ticket is 200 rmb/per person. A shuttle bus will take on the top of the mountain next to the lake. We took hats and scarves in October in case of the cold weather, but we needed sunglasses and caps because the sunshine was pretty strong (and the wind was cool). Leave some power to get off the bus on some stations on your back way because you will find the great scenery there as well. It's one of the most beautiful place I have ever visited in my life!

Tagong Grassland

Reviewed By janwouter89 - Shenzhen, China

This destination should be on every backpackers destination list. Stay in Tagong at Kampa Coffee or Himalayak Guesthouse. Both are Tibetan local style, sell Western breakfast & food, offer affordable beds or rooms with shared bathrooms, and have a great atmosphere. Organize a 1-, 2-, or 3- day horse trip or hike the grasslands. The landscape is absolutely stunning, with 360 degrees views as far as dozens of kilometers. As long as you avoid the few tourist hotspots, you will not meet any or many other people, even during the Chinese vacations.
