2024 Qinghai Lake Scenic Area, Qinghai

🌟Highlights: Qinghai Lake is one of the highest lakes in the world, with a surface elevation of 3196 meters. The overall outline of the basin is elliptical, sloping from northwest to southeast, and is a closed inland basin. The shape of its water body is very similar to a "soaring eagle". The surrounding mountains are undulating and the rivers are crisscrossed. The north is Datong Mountain, the east Riyue Mountain is the watershed between the agricultural and pastoral areas of Qinghai Province, the west plateau hilly belt is connected with the Qaidam Basin, and the surrounding peaks are mostly above 4000 meters above sea level, the highest being the Ganggeer Xiaoheli Mountain in the northwest with an altitude of 5291 meters. From the relative height of about 2000 meters of the mountain ridge to the lake surface, there are erosion structure landforms, accumulation landforms, and wind accumulation landforms of varying widths developed in a zonal manner. 👎Least recommended: In winter, the entire lake of Qinghai Lake has frozen and the fish in the water can no longer be seen. For the Qinghai Lake Scenic Area, winter is the off-season for tourism, and the scenery may be a bit worse compared to summer. ❤Reason for recommendation: There are more than 300,000 various birds living in the Qinghai Lake National Nature Reserve, among which, waterfowl are dominant, such as brown-headed gulls, fish gulls, speckled geese, and cormorants, all of which number more than 45,000. These birds come to Qinghai Lake every March and breed in places like Egg Island, Cormorant Island, Three Stones, and Haixin Mountain, and gradually migrate south in October, making them the main summer birds in the Qinghai Lake Reserve. 📝Tips: Although the winter sun is abundant in Qinghai Lake, the wind is particularly strong and particularly biting. Friends who are going to play, remember to prepare warm clothes, gloves, scarves, hats, and anything that can keep your face warm. Remember, remember. 👍Most recommended: Erlang Sword Scenic Area entrance, 200 meters ahead, turn left into a free viewing spot at the PetroChina gas station, overlooking the entire Qinghai Lake, highly recommended.
