A great place to unwind with parents

Here are the reasons to recommend Qinghai Lake tourism: Unique natural scenery • Majestic lake views: As China's largest inland saltwater lake, Qinghai Lake boasts vast expanses of jade-blue waters that contrast beautifully with surrounding snow-capped mountains and grasslands, creating picturesque scenery. • Distinctive seasons: In spring, wildflowers bloom along the lakeshore; summer offers a cool retreat with lush green grasslands; autumn brings golden grasslands and mirror-like waters; winter transforms the lake into a silver wonderland with frozen surfaces. • Ecological wonders: Each summer, Qinghai Lake becomes home to tens of thousands of migratory birds including bar-headed geese, fish gulls, and cormorants, making Bird Island a prime birdwatching spot. Rich cultural heritage • Ethnic customs: Surrounding Tibetan and Mongolian villages allow visitors to experience traditional lifestyles and unique cultural practices. • Historical sites: Nearby ancient city ruins like Xihai County offer windows into ancient political, economic and cultural history. Abundant tourism resources • Outdoor activities: Hosting the annual Qinghai Lake Cycling Race, it attracts cycling enthusiasts worldwide. Visitors can also enjoy hiking, horseback riding and other nature activities. • Recreational experiences: Options include boat tours to admire lake scenery and Bird Island, lakeside camping, and romantic sunrise/sunset viewing. Economic development driver • Income growth: Creates local employment through hospitality, accommodation and souvenir industries. • Industry promotion: Boosts transportation, communication and infrastructure development, improving local socioeconomic conditions. Strong policy support • Qinghai is establishing an International Ecotourism Destination Demonstration Zone at Qinghai Lake, implementing comprehensive plans covering management systems, service standards and evaluation mechanisms to promote high-quality tourism development.
