As the second largest salt lake in the world and the largest in Asia, the Qarhan Salt Lake covers an area of ​​5,856 square kilometers, which is 55 times larger than the Chaka Salt Lake. ps. Although the salt lake is beautiful, the salt beach has a strong reflective effect. The temperature was 23 degrees that day, but the perceived temperature was over 38 degrees. I saw the young ladies in beautiful dresses taking pictures, and their backs became several degrees darker while taking pictures. The faces of the children walking on the road turned from white to red and then to black. Well, you still have to pay attention to sun protection.

September to November is the off-season in Qinghai and Gansu, with fewer people around. During this time, you can spend 8 days and 7 nights entering the Qinghai-Gansu region to deeply explore its natural beauty. Although Qinghai and Gansu are beautiful, it's still necessary to do your homework before going. Remember these 20 points to avoid 80% of the pitfalls on the Qinghai-Gansu loop: 1. The northwest region is vast, located on the plateau, and many places are still undeveloped with inconvenient transportation. It is recommended to carpool or charter a car. 2. Look for businesses with proper qualifications, be discerning, and beware of price traps. 3. The signal is not good, download maps in advance. 4. The temperature drops quickly, so it's advised to wear thick clothes. 5. When you first arrive in Qinghai, don't run or jump, and avoid extreme emotions, which can exacerbate altitude sickness. 6. Sunglasses are a must, not just for show, as the sun can be blinding. 7. The water in scenic lakes is clear but should not be consumed directly, as untreated, it contains elements harmful to the body. 8. The journey will pass through uninhabited areas, so prepare some food in advance (ham, compressed biscuits, coarse grain rice balls). 9. Hotel conditions along the way are limited, those with high accommodation standards can prepare some disposable items. 10. Normally, there won't be severe altitude sickness, but individual physical conditions vary, so it's wise to have some medicine on hand in case of emergencies. 11. Prepare strong hydrating skincare products, neglecting protection could lead to skin peeling. 12. Don't drive in unfamiliar terrain! It's really easy to get lost. 13. Don't wash your hair too often, be careful of catching a cold and triggering altitude sickness. 14. Don't stop to take photos on the roadside, as you may be charged. 15. Make sure to use the restroom, because you don't know when you'll have the next opportunity. 16. Don't trust navigation too much, ask locals for directions. 17. Sunscreen essentials: sunglasses, sunscreen spray (SPF 30 or higher), parasol, sunscreen, sun hat, etc. 18. Clothing to bring: jacket, sweater, thermal underwear, raincoat, jeans. 19. ID card, bank card, a small amount of cash, support for Alipay payments. 20. Don't take photos in the middle of the highway, don't climb mountains, don't trust strangers, safety first.

Green｜Chaerhan Salt Lake Green, as a color, is located in the middle of the spectrum, with a wavelength range of 517-570 nanometers. In nature, green is widely present, such as in leaves, grasslands, oases, etc. In human culture, green is usually associated with concepts like life, health, vitality, nature, peace, etc. Chaerhan Salt Lake is located in Haixi Mongol and Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province, China. It is the largest salt lake in China and the second largest in the world. The area of Chaerhan Salt Lake is about 5856 square kilometers, and its altitude is about 2670 meters. Chaerhan Salt Lake is an inland lake, with its water mainly coming from the melting snow of the surrounding mountains and groundwater. The salt content of the lake water is extremely high, reaching 32%, making Chaerhan Salt Lake one of the most important salt chemical bases in China. The green of Chaerhan Salt Lake may be related to the microorganisms, minerals, and light in the lake water. Under sunlight, the microorganisms and minerals in the lake water may appear green. In addition, the green of Chaerhan Salt Lake may also be affected by the surrounding ecological environment, such as grasslands, oases, etc.

Chaluhan Salt Lake must be the emerald left by God in the world. In fact, the salt lake is a dead sea. Formation of Salt Lakes: The earth's crust rose, the sea water retreated, and an inland basin with no visible boundaries appeared, which developed into a salt lake. Chaluhan Salt Lake, a white otherworldly world created by salt. It is the second largest salt lake in the world, second only to Uyuni Salt Lake and 56 times the size of Chaka Salt Lake. The salt here is enough for the whole world to eat for two thousand years. It has surprisingly rich salt mine resources. Due to long-term exposure to wind and sun, high-concentration brine has formed in the lake, which has gradually crystallized into salt grains. For thousands of years, we have coexisted with the Kunlun Snow Mountain and the vast Gobi Desert. When you step on the salt marsh, the white clouds, lake water and snow-capped mountains complement each other, and the world becomes as transparent as a mirror. These lakes are like emerald and jade, crystal clear, and are stunning even when photographed without filters. $Tickets: 80 (tickets + round-trip bus) divided into off-season and peak season Driving: Currently, you cannot drive to the Salt Lake by car. You need to stop at the distribution center, buy a ticket, and take a bus to the lake. The journey takes about 20 minutes. Tips: 1. The amazing salt lake scenery, the aerial photography effect is absolutely beautiful, it's worth the five hours I spent there.... 2. The scenic spot is in the industrial zone, and you need to buy tickets and bus tickets to enter, the price is 100 RMB; 3. After arriving at the scenic spot, you can walk around (5km round trip), or spend 15 yuan to take a battery car to the end point and then go back; 4. The place where you walk on the lake salt bridge is at the entrance, you can check in at the end; 5. It is very sunny and there is no shade, so be sure to take good sun protection. There is a restroom at the starting point and the end point; 6. The view will be compromised without a drone, so make sure to go when the weather is good. 7. Chaerhan has no food and accommodation, so you can only choose to stay in Golmud, which is 50km away! 8. Don’t touch water with your bare feet, as it is corrosive and can cause damage to your skin.

[Qalhan Salt Lake in Qinghai] Zarhan Salt Lake is the largest salt lake in China and one of the most famous salt lakes in the world. The picture taken in my picture is the Wanzhang Salt Bridge, which is a road made of salt and extends into the lake. Its hardness is comparable to that of the asphalt road. We can see from the sky that there are white crystals on both sides of the salt bridge. The lake is transparent and green. The scenery here is picturesque. The sunny Chaerhan Salt Lake has also become a good place for photography. Note: Sun protection measures should be prepared. It is recommended to bring a hat and sunglasses. You can drive in by yourself. In principle, only visiting documents are allowed to enter. You need to communicate in advance.

Guests at the Qarhan Salt Lake today 🍏Emerald green lake🍏 Perhaps it was due to billions of years of geological movement.

The Salt Lake, Mogao Grottoes, Jiayuguan, Yangguan, the Desert, and Danxia are all beautiful in all seasons. 3. About the temperature: It is a little cold in the morning and evening, but it is completely acceptable. 10-20 degrees is fine. 4. The key is that it is cheap!

Qinghai-Gansu Grand Loop May Day Notice! Please adjust your itinerary ASAP! Regarding traveling to Northwest China during May Day, I'd say: Wise choice! For holiday trips, avoid these: sos Crowded scenic spots! sos Places with heavy traffic jams! sos Excessively expensive places! sos Places with no scenery! Northwest China perfectly avoids all of the above! I'm on the road every May Day holiday and have hosted countless friends, so I have a say in whether or not it's suitable to visit Northwest China. √1. May Day is still considered the off-season for the Qinghai-Gansu Grand Loop. √2. There are not many tourists, except for a few clustered areas like Mogao Caves. √3. While others are stuck in traffic and crowded scenic spots, you'll be cruising freely on the western highways! √4. The cost is still reasonable. √5.
