Summary of the Qinghai-Gansu Grand Loop Four Lakes (Clear Winter Edition)

According to the route, the lakes are Qinghai Lake, Chaka Salt Lake, Chaerhan Salt Lake, and Feicui Lake. Qinghai Lake (p2-p4) The shimmering blue is very clear, giving a feeling of being by the sea. There are prayer flags on the shore, but you can't go in. You can stand on the rocks by the lake for better photos. The area is not large, and you can walk around the shore quickly. Chaka Salt Lake (p5-p7) Prepared mentally for the off-season but still a bit disappointed... The water has dried up a lot, and the small train is not running. Walking over, there are some shallower lakes. They are still and transparent, reflecting a light blue sky. The photo spot near the red shoe cover rental is still very beautiful! The area is relatively large and you can walk inside. Chaerhan Salt Lake (p8-p10) The most beautiful lake! Very large, it takes half an hour by small transport to get inside. One side of the water is light blue-green, the other side is apple green. There are swings and lounge chairs; if you ignore the clothing, it feels like a Hainan vacation. The bus announcements tell some history of the lake, which is quite interesting. Feicui Lake A beautiful blend of blue and green, the colors are very bright. It looks better from the observation tower, where you can see the yellow lake. Other colors are basically not visible. The small train stops at different stations for photos. At sunset, it is very quiet and warm. In summary, the off-season is still very worth seeing! There are very few people, so you can quietly enjoy the beauty of the lakes. Just note that every place is quite cold, so dress warmly and use sun protection on clear winter days.
