You can feed seagulls without going to Qinghai Lake: just at Bangong Co in Tibet

It really is that the higher the altitude, the more beautiful the scenery, and the closer to the sky, the more mysterious the place. Upon arriving at Bangong Co, one discovers that there are also traces of seagulls on the high-altitude lakes over five thousand meters. Migratory birds from Siberia will travel to Bangong Co, and then continue to migrate south to Qinghai Lake during the colder winter. There are very few tourists here, allowing for the unobstructed photography of flying birds, and one can feed the seagulls with breadcrumbs. Bangong Co spans across China and India, and in Tibetan means 'long-necked swan', located northwest of the town of Rutog in the Ali region. The lake surface is at an altitude of 4240 meters. There are more than a dozen islands of varying sizes in the lake, with about 20 different species of birds on the islands, the number of which can reach tens of thousands at its peak, mainly including bar-headed geese, brown-headed gulls, fish gulls, crested ducks, and red-crested pochards, among which bar-headed geese and brown-headed gulls are the most numerous.
