I visited Qinghai in 2017 and 2020 At that time, the scenery of Qinghai already amazed me On May Day this year, I set foot on Qinghai for the third time. I didn’t expect that this land would shock me even more! This time I finally visited the gorgeous colors of Qinghai! Self-driving route DayShanghai Dunhuang-Lenghu Town Day Lenghu - Heidu Mountain - Oil Town - Oboliang Day Oboliang - Shuiyadan - Dongtai Jinair Lake Day Shuiyadan - U-shaped highway - Blood of the Earth - Chaerhan Salt Lake - Dachaidan Day Dachaidan Emerald Lake-Jinguang Pagoda-Delingha Shanghai This route is part of the Qinghai-Gansu Great Ring Road.

Feel the miraculous craftsmanship of nature! Recommended attractions A must-see at Dachaidan Emerald Lake Located in Dachaidan Town, there are colorful salt lakes in the scenic area, which are particularly stunning on sunny days and the aerial photography is very photogenic. If you are pressed for time, Qarhan Salt Lake can be abandoned in Golmud City. It takes about an hour and a half to get there from Dachaidan. After arriving, you need to take a scenic bus for half an hour to enter, which takes a long time. It is characterized by the green apple-colored salt lake, which is easy to produce aerial photography~ Dongtai Jinair Lake is a must-see for free The salt lake located on the edge of Yadan on the water is called the Maldives of Qinghai. A sightseeing drive has now been built to reach the lake. The color is great, don’t miss it! Recommended by Shuiyadan The only Yadan Group on the water in the world is a rare spectacle, and it may dry up one day in the future. However, the accommodation conditions in the scenic area are average. Oboliang If you are short of time, you can give up. A must-go for starry sky lovers The Yadan Group, located deep in the Gobi Desert, looks like the surface of Mars. It is far away from human settlements, making it a holy place for starry sky photography. However, the road conditions are poor and the distance is long, and tickets to scenic spots are relatively expensive. If you are pressed for time, you may choose to give up. Heidu Mountain is free and a must-go The most popular attraction in Lenghu Town in recent years, drive to the parking lot and enter on foot. The black and gray mountain structure creates a stunning ink painting. The U-shaped road is free and a must-go A section of National Highway 315, you can just park on the side of the road, it’s very cinematic Blood of the Earth can be photographed aerially while passing by National Highway 315 is not so bright to the naked eye and requires aerial photography to see the complete picture. Aerial photography enthusiasts can take a photo when passing by. Free recommendations for oil towns The ruins of an oil town near Lenghu Town. You can stop by after leaving Heidu Mountain. Delingha Golden Light Tower Recommendation A solar power generation device located next to downtown Delingha has a very sci-fi feel!

The real situation of tourism in Qinghai and Gansu from March to May! Traveling in the Northwest from March to May, No one will help you wipe your tears when you are moved! Many friends don’t have much idea about the off-peak and peak seasons for traveling to the Northwest. Today, I will briefly tell you: 1. Coming before the end of May is considered off-peak season 2. The beginning of June to the end of June is the flat season, which is the transition time to the peak season. There are a lot of people in late June; 3. Except for May Day, which is a small peak, there are more people; Only friends who have been here know how good it is to travel to the Northwest in the off-season: 1. Except for the yellow grassland and no rape flowers, other scenic spots basically have little impact in spring and summer; 2. The Mogao Grottoes, which everyone is more concerned about, also have very loose ordinary tickets, and you can basically book tickets at any time; 3. After entering March, the temperature rises, and there is sufficient sunshine during the day. In fact, it is not cold, so you can rest assured. 4. Hotel prices will always be relatively low, and the same applies to carpooling. For example, for a 6-day loop, the average cost per person fluctuates between 1.8k and 2k. : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : The temperature warms up very quickly after entering March; 2. Generally, it is more convenient to go in and out of Xining via the large loop line. If the flight to Lanzhou is very cheap, fly to Lanzhou. The train between Lanzhou and Xining takes only one hour, which is very convenient; 3. If there are few people, just sign up for a local small group.
