@Your flower-viewing buddies, hey, come unlock the secrets of spring in Qinghai!

Is spring in Qinghai desolate? NO! That's your stereotype! Spring in Qinghai is absolutely gorgeous, okay?! When the plateau sun 🌞 melts the last snow ❄️, the entire Qinghai-Tibet Plateau will transform into a top-tier flower paradise. Peach blossoms, apricot blossoms, winter jasmine, pear blossoms, crabapple blossoms, tulips... What a world of flowers! Here's your guide to flower viewing in Qinghai 👇🏻 - 📌【Qinghai Flower Viewing Guide】 ①🌸 Peach blossoms, winter jasmine, apricot blossoms: ▫️From late March to mid-April, peach blossoms, winter jasmine, and apricot blossoms bloom brilliantly under the snow-capped mountains, along the Yellow River, and in the cities. You'll only know when you're there that spring in Qinghai is a truly underrated wonderland. ②🌺 Crabapple blossoms, pear blossoms: ▫️From mid-April to late April, crabapple blossoms in Xining Haitang Park and pear blossoms in Ledu District, Haidong City, and Guide County, Hainan Prefecture are quietly unfolding a grand floral spectacle. ③🌷 Tulips, lilacs: ▫️From late April to May, tulips and lilacs begin to showcase the romance of spring in Xining's urban areas and parks. 💡Tips: ❶Flower viewing time: The main flower viewing season in Qinghai is from late March to late May. ❷Flower viewing locations: Different flower varieties have different viewing locations. See Figure 5 for details. ❸Outfit: Light-colored clothing is recommended, especially a versatile white dress. Qinghai has large temperature differences between day and night and changeable weather, so it's advisable to bring a windproof jacket. Also, the UV rays are strong in Qinghai, so remember to wear sunscreen. ❹Other: Please appreciate the flowers responsibly and refrain from picking or trampling on them. - 📌【Hidden Gems in Qinghai】 Besides flower viewing, don't miss these niche spots in Qinghai. ✅Riyue Mountain ▫️Riyue Mountain is a famous cultural and geographical landmark with amazing natural scenery! The alpine grassland scenery here is very picturesque. I took lots of photos with my friends here. The large prayer flags at Riyue Mountain are also great for photos. ✅Zongjia Ravine ▫️East of Qinghai Lake and below Riyue Mountain lies a hidden gem—Zongjia Ravine. With few crowds and beautiful scenery, the wooden boardwalk offers photo opportunities with a similar vibe to "Heidi and Grandpa." ✅Denggaer Ancient City ▫️Hidden in Huangyuan, Xining, is Denggaer, an ancient city with over 600 years of history. The main street of Denggaer Ancient City is only 800 meters long, but this small and beautiful ancient city boasts several historically significant buildings, including Gonghui Gate, City God Temple, Denggaer Hall, Confucian Temple, Renji Trading Company, Huozuguan, and Yingchun Gate. - There's more beauty to discover in Qinghai. @Your flower-viewing buddies and unlock 🔒 this unique spring experience in Qinghai!
