Qinghai Lake: Half Surprise, Half Blank Space

Visiting Qinghai Lake, I had high expectations all the way, only to find that this trip was a bit of 'half sea, half flame.' Passing by the outskirts of Qinghai Lake, I was truly amazed! The lake water was so blue and bright, as if the entire sky was reflected on the ground. Beside it, the wind blew the grass low, revealing cattle and sheep, creating a beautiful scene where the wind swept across the grassland, and the cattle and sheep scattered like pearls. At that moment, I even felt that just this one glance made the trip worth it. However, after buying a ticket and entering the scenic area, it felt a bit 'underwhelming.' Maybe it was because there were too many people, or maybe my expectations were too high, but the scenery by the lake wasn't as stunning as I had imagined. After walking around, I felt a bit disappointed. But fortunately, there were seagulls! I bought some bread, and the seagulls chirped around me, with some even boldly flying onto my hand to grab bread crumbs. Watching them fly around the lake and listening to their calls, happiness returned at that moment! It turns out, sometimes the joy of travel is just that simple. Qinghai Lake, half surprise, half blank space. What I didn't unlock this time, I'll make up for next time!
