You must visit the soon-to-be-lost Emerald Lake!!!!

The ecological environment of Emerald Lake is beautiful, not overly developed, with few people and beautiful scenery. It is a secret spot within Qinghai, with clear emerald green waters, sparkling and translucent, as if a giant emerald was embedded on the Tibetan Plateau by God, resembling a paradise on earth, refreshing and delightful, a favorite spot for photography enthusiasts. ⛰【Travel Tips】 📍Detailed address: Inside the salt mining area of the former Da Qaidam Chemical Plant in Haixi Mongol and Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province 🚗Transportation strategy: Self-drive or hire a car/carpool to get there 🕙Opening hours: All day ⌚️Visiting time: 3H 💰Ticket price: 50 yuan, small train 50 yuan ✈️Drone aerial photography: 300/person 🚣‍♀️Crystal boat shooting 168/person, 3 short videos 🏍️Desert motorcycle: 100-400/person 😁【Accommodation】There are plenty of hotels, no need to book in advance. 👉🏻【Cuisine】Various noodles, beef and mutton are the main dishes, known as a carbohydrate paradise. 🙋【Visiting Time Arrangement】 It is recommended to stay in Da Qaidam the day before and visit the next day. If you arrive at noon, you can arrange to visit Emerald Lake in the afternoon. 🌟Highlights: 🔺Emerald Lake is clear and transparent, with the inner layer being azure blue and the outer layer milky blue, allowing you to see the salt layer at the bottom of the lake. 🔺It's the same location where Jackson Yee shot the movie 'A Little Red Flower', a must-visit for fans. 🔺In the evening, you can see the sunlight on the Danxia landforms, the sunset on the mountains is very beautiful with a reddish-brown color. 🚂【Route】 ⌚️Time: 07:30-20:40 🔺Outbound: Ticket Hall→Lake No. 2 🔺Return: Lake No. 2→Lake No. 3→Lake No. 4→Lake No. 5→Lake No. 6→Ticket Hall. 🏞【Photo Spots】 🔺Station No. 2: 'A Little Red Flower' filming location 🔺Station No. 4: Internet-famous transparent boat 🔺Station No. 5: Internet-famous piano 🔺Stations No. 1 & 6: More crowded with tour groups, can be avoided ‼️Make sure to keep your train ticket, as you need it to board at each station! 👗【Outfit Suggestions】 White long dresses are highly recommended! They are super photogenic! Long dresses also provide sun protection! Of course, long dresses of other colors are also good! Long dresses are really highly recommended! ‼️It is not advisable to wear high-heeled shoes as they may get stuck in the saline-alkali soil, nor is it advisable to wear sandals that come into contact with saltwater, etc. The salt lake water and saline-alkali soil both contain salt, which is corrosive and may harm the skin if in contact for a long time! 📷【Shooting Angles】 🔺Aerial photography: When shooting portraits, don't fly too high, otherwise, the person will be too small. Have the person stand or lie on the salt flat, and shoot from above or from the side. 🔺Non-aerial photography: Standing at a high place and shooting downwards can also produce very dreamy photos. 📌【Little Tips】 🔺Emerald Lake is very beautiful, but the wind is strong and a bit cold, so bring a coat. 🔺From the entrance of the scenic area to the deep part of the lake is 6 kilometers, if time allows, it is recommended to walk. 🔺Be sure to do a good job of sun protection, bring a hat that is both protective and good-looking, and can be used as a photography prop. 🌸Follow Little Flying Man Travel's constant❤️ search for windy places🎯 to check in for delicious, fun, and interesting places
