Qinghai｜So many stories hidden in the blue sea

Sea, yet grander than the sea itself🌊 The characters "Qinghai" literally mean "blue sea." This plateau lake at over 3200 meters elevation holds countless touching stories and dreams～ ✨Life philosophy by the lake: Every time I come, local Tibetan friends warmly ask: "How long will you stay here?" 😊This reminds me of stories in the city, where meeting new friends often leads to the same question. Life is a journey of encounters and farewells～ 💭What is the eternal truth? Perhaps it’s the unfading blue in our memories, or the lake’s surface gently rippled by the wind like a dream. But the most beautiful thing is always— We are like the waters of Qinghai Lake💦 Clear yet forever flowing. This is the most beautiful posture of life～ 📍Qinghai Lake Hardcore Guide: 📌Address: Gonghe County, Hainan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province (2.5 hours by car from Xining, car rental recommended) 🕒Best season: June to August (Daytime around 30°C, very comfortable, remember to bring a jacket!) 🌟Must-do list: ✅Cycling around the lake (360km challenge!) ✅Sunrise at Heimahe (snap stunning photos easily🌅) ✅Birdwatching at Bird Island (thousands of birds flock to the lake from April to June) ✅Rapeseed flower sea in Menyuan (peak season in July) 🌅Sunlit mountain bonus: Recommended to stay at a Tibetan guesthouse in Heimahe Open your window in the morning to see snow-capped mountains reflected on the lake!
