Traveling around the Northwest丨A must-read travel guide for the Qinghai-Gansu Grand Loop.

⚠️ Don’t read this 5-day itinerary for exploring the Northwest. : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : I adjusted the route and extended the time spent in Qinghai Lake. I also moved the itinerary to Chaka Salt Lake to the next morning. There were fewer tourists at Chaka Salt Lake at this time. We can take our time taking pictures and playing. ❤️ Chaerhan Salt Lake is more beautiful than Chaka Salt Lake. We can speed across the thousand-meter salt bridge and see the Qinghai-Tibet Railway passing through the salt bridge. ❤️ Many tourists don’t know that the most beautiful time for Yadan on the water is at sunrise and sunset. The starry sky at night is also YYDS; if we want to see such a beautiful scenery, we need to live in the scenic area. RV/camping are both good options. ❤️ In Guazhou, there is more to eat than just melons. The two giant sculptures, Son of the Earth and Boundless, will give you a very Northwest feel. 🚘【About transportation suggestions in the Northwest】 ⚠️ Self-driving: If you have no experience in self-driving in the Northwest, it is better not to drive in the Northwest. There is no navigation in the Northwest; For example: in an uninhabited area like Eboliang, if you get lost, it will be very troublesome 👍 The locals recommend that everyone choose the travel method: BAO car/share🚘 This is a way to travel by car if you don’t want to drive yourself If you are traveling with 1-2 people, you can consider sharing🚘; everyone shares the car💰, which will save a lot . ✅【Suggestions for playing in the Northwest】 1. Be careful of the black holes under your feet in various salt lakes in the Northwest; 2. In the area of ​​Yadan landform, don’t leave the road too far, it will be troublesome if you get lost; 3. If you bring a SLR camera to Mingsha Mountain, wrap the body with plastic wrap in advance, the sand is very fine and can penetrate every hole
