Here are some must-read tips for traveling to the Northwest from May to September.

You must visit the northwest of our country once in your life. A local stayed up late to summarize this guide and shared it with the handsome men and beautiful women on the Internet. I suggest you like it 👍 and collect it! ✅The Qinghai-Gansu Grand Loop Tour is from June to September. Here are the specific reasons: 🌤️Suitable climate: The temperature during this period is relatively comfortable, with an average temperature between 15 - 25℃. 🌤️In June and July, the temperature around Qinghai Lake is not high and the climate is cool, which is suitable for outdoor activities. Although the weather is hot at noon in August and September, the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, and it is cool and pleasant at night. 🍃Season of beautiful scenery: From June to August, the rape flowers in Menyuan are in full bloom. The large golden rape fields, the snow-capped mountains in the distance, the blue sky and white clouds set off each other, forming a picturesque scenery. 💦In July and August, the water of Qinghai Lake is azure blue, and the wild flowers on the lakeside are in full bloom, creating a beautiful scenery. 🍂In September, the grasslands of Qilian Mountain begin to turn yellow, alternating with green grass, colorful and rich in layers; at this time, the colorful Danxia is more vivid and eye-catching under the sunshine, as if it is a painting painted by nature with the most intense colors. ⁉️Why is this 7-day 6-night panoramic route recommended? ㊙️Basically covers 70% of the highlights of Qinghai/Gansu, including Qinghai Lake + Chaka Salt Lake + Mogao Grottoes + Mingsha Mountain + Colorful Danxia, ​​natural and cultural, rich scenery along the way ㊙️The Qinghai-Gansu Grand Loop Line is designed so you don’t have to go around in circles. You can play while walking and see more beautiful scenery in the same amount of time. - 🌺🌺Essential items: 🆔Documents: ID card, student ID card, military ID card, press ID card, etc. 🧥Clothing: The temperature difference between morning and night is large in the northwest. If you go there now, you can bring a jacket or down jacket. If you want to be warmer, you can bring a coat. 📱Electrical appliances: drones, power banks, headphones🎧, chargers, etc. 🤧Cold medicine, gastrointestinal medicine, Band-Aid, etc. 🕶Others: sunscreen, sunglasses, umbrellas🌂, disposable bed sheets, disposable toilet covers, etc. - 🌈7-day Internet celebrity route (Water Yadan + Heidu Mountain) D1: Xining - Sun Moon Mountain - Qinghai Lake - Chaka Sky No. 1 - Chaka Town [Accommodation] D2: Chaka Town - Gobi Desert along the way - Emerald Lake - Dachaidan [Accommodation] D3: Daxiadan - 315 U-shaped road - Water Yadan - Nanbaxian Yadan landform - Daxiadan [accommodation] D4: Da Qaidam - Heidu Mountain - Oil Town - Silk Road Heritage City - Dunhuang City [Accommodation] D5: Dunhuang - Mogao Grottoes - Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Moon Lake - Shazhou Night Market, free time - Dunhuang [stay] D6: Dunhuang - Jiayuguan (can be exchanged for Son of the Earth, Boundless) - Zhangye Colorful Danxia - Zhangye City [Accommodation] D7: Zhangye - passing through Biandukou - Qilian Grassland - viewing Gangshika Snow Mountain from a distance - Menyuan rapeseed flowers (end of July) - end in Xining - Classic check-in spots Qinghai Lake: China's largest inland lake. Chaka Salt Lake: The lake surface and the sky are connected as one, vast and boundless. Emerald Lake: The water is brightly colored and emerald green like jade. Highway 315U: Due to its unique terrain and winding route, it has become a popular check-in spot. Crescent Spring in Mingsha Mountain: a wonderful combination of desert and spring, with sand dunes surrounding a clear spring. Jiayuguan: The western starting point of the Great Wall, witnessing the vicissitudes of history. - ⚠️Travel Note ‼ ️It is recommended to bring your own toiletries and bath products. ‼ ️Sun protection and moisturizing should be done well, as the ultraviolet rays in the northwest are strong. ‼ ️You will often pass through uninhabited areas, so it is recommended to prepare more snacks. ‼ ️It is normal to have headaches, chest tightness and other reactions at high altitudes. Remember not to do strenuous exercise.
