Itinerary Details

All routes are for reference only, the actual route is subject to the explanation of customer service

The scale of the grassland is the part that is hardest to convey: seeing a mountain, it might take forty more minutes to drive. This line arranges the view, wetlands, forest areas, and herders' lives according to changes in altitude and vegetation.
