May I ask if it's necessary to make an appointment in advance when going to the Shan Dan Military Horse Field, or can we just go directly?

For the Yellow River Horse Ranch (山丹军马场) in Qingyang, Gansu Province, China, I would recommend making a reservation in advance to ensure availability and to make specific arrangements for your visit.

You can contact them through their official website or by phone to book a time slot that suits you. This is especially important during peak travel seasons or on holidays when the ranch might be more crowded than usual.

Additionally, it’s always good to know what to expect and plan ahead, so making a reservation will give you an opportunity to clarify any details beforehand, such as the cost, activities available, and what attire or gear you should bring.
