A complete guide to the beautiful Northwest: conquer the desert and embrace travel

Flying 2000 kilometers, taking photos of life in the Northwest Just came back from the northwest. My friends who went there during the summer vacation had their photos and videos quickly tucked away. It’s hard to find something so complete. ️ Tips: 1️⃣ Qinghai Lake: The cliff is closed. There are herdsmen around now and you can only enter from the scenic area. 2️⃣Salt Lake: Dongtaijinaier Lake, Qarhan Salt Lake, Dachaidan Emerald Lake. If time is tight, spend it on it. 3️⃣ Dongtaijinaier Lake: Go a little further in, there are fewer people, it's really like the Maldives 4️⃣ Chaerhan Salt Lake: The main location is inside. Take the bus and then take the sightseeing bus. The weather is bad and good 5️⃣ Da Qaidam Emerald Lake: Take the bus to the terminal, take pictures of the two blue lakes, and then go to the opposite side of the main road to take pictures of a few lakes. Almost 90% of the spots were checked in. 6️⃣ Yadan: Yadan’s eyes should be put on another off-road vehicle. Many tourist attractions are inaccessible to tourists. If you are pressed for time, you don't have to buy a sightseeing car. The entrance is almost where the photo was taken. 7️⃣ Mogao Grottoes: You must make an appointment in advance, otherwise you can only buy emergency tickets and can only see four caves. Remember to apply sunscreen, the queue is very hot 8️⃣ Mingsha Mountain Crescent Lake: Go at night and leave 30 minutes to climb the mountain, just in time for sunset 9️⃣Colorful Danxia: Drones cannot fly at present, but the security guard said they can fly before May and after October. If time is tight, you only need two stops to go to 2️⃣4️⃣ Route: [Day 1]: Xining ~ Sun Moon Mountain ~ Daotang River ~ Qinghai Lake ~ Rubber Mountain ~ Chaka Accommodation 【Day 2】:Chaka~Chaka Salt Lake~Qaidam Basin~Qarhan Salt Lake~Dachaidan Accommodation 【Day 3】:Da Qaidam~Xiao Qaidam Lake~315U Highway~Dongtaijinaier Lake~Water Yadan~Yadan Magic Gui City~Accommodation in Da Qaidam 【Day 4】:Da Qaidam~Emerald Lake~Oil Town~Hei D Mountain~Silk Road Heritage City~Desert Camping 【Day 5】:Second Mogao Grottoes~Mingsha Mountain Crescent Lake~Goodbye Dunhuang Performance~Dunhuang Night Market~Dunhuang Accommodation 【day6】:Dunhuang~Son of the Earth~Guazhou~Colorful Danxia~Zhangye accommodation 【Day 7】: Er Zhangye ~ Bian Dukou ~ Qilian Mountain Grand Canyon ~ Qilian Grassland ~ Gangshika Snow Peak ~ Xining ends ️Note: ️1⃣️The ultraviolet rays on the plateau are strong, please avoid sun exposure ️2⃣️Remember to walk slowly on the plateau, avoid rushing, and carry plateau medicine with you to prevent altitude sickness 3⃣️Try not to take a shower or wash your hair every day. The temperature difference between morning and evening is large, making it easy to catch a cold. Prepare cold medicine ️4⃣️Do a good job of outdoor mosquito prevention, remember to spray mosquito repellent in advance 5⃣️️The northwest is relatively dry, prepare more face masks to moisturize and drink more water ️6⃣️Prepare sunglasses, the salt lake can't open your eyes 7⃣️️Prepare a power bank 8⃣️️Carry chocolate to avoid hypoglycemia
