Qinghai Lake

Qinghai Lake is definitely a must-see scenic spot during the Republic trip! As long as the weather is good, the scenery of lakes and mountains under the blue sky and white clouds is completely the "must visit in my lifetime" series, and the mood follows the clear sky. This time I mainly ran Qinghai Lake to see the magnificent natural scenery and feel the shock of China's largest saltwater lake. Even though the self-driving journey is farther, the lakeside view is super wide, it is simply the right healing "quack" beautiful destination for everyone! Attraction inventory recommendation Qinghai Lake 📍Address: North side of National Road 109, Gangcha County, Haibei Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture ⏰Open all day all year Tickets: ¥72.0 As the largest lake in China, Qinghai Lake not only overlooks the invincible sky blue lake, but also can overlook the distant mountain grassland, June-August when the rapeseed flowers are in full bloom, there are many viewpoints along the lake to take pictures, take pictures and relax. There is also a Tibetan folk village and small stalls where you can buy local souvenirs by the lake. Tip: Since Lake Qinghai is located on a plateau and the climate changes greatly, remember to bring an extra jacket and hat to avoid the sudden strong wind! If you like cycling, the Qinghai Lake Race route is very popular, and you can rent a bicycle to travel around the lake—the scenery is no worse than abroad. Practical transportation & food tips Transportation guide You can drive or take passenger transportation from Republic Town, it is more convenient to choose self-driving, go straight along the north side of National Road 109, there are clear signs along the way. If you don't want to drive, you can consider signing up for a tour or chartering a car. The time and attractions can be customized. Food recommendations The lakeside is mostly dominated by small stalls and Tibetan restaurants, where you can try lamb skewers and Tibetan yogurt; especially the "Tibetan Courtyard" by the Qinghai Lake, the environment is simple and authentic! Itinerary tips 1. Lake Qinghai has a higher altitude, pay attention to rest when you first arrive, replenish water to avoid plateau reaction. 2. The surroundings of the lake are too sunny, be prepared with sunscreen, especially in the summer sun is strong. 3. Open all day throughout the year, it is recommended to go in the morning with less crowds and beautiful scenery, more beautiful photos, while avoiding the mutant weather in the afternoon. Going to Qinghai Lake and feeling the magnificent nature will really make you suddenly cheerful. Not only is it beautiful to take pictures, but it is also a wash of body and mind. The route from Republic to Qinghai Lake is clear, safe and easy to walk. Be sure to reserve more time to slowly feel the scenery of the lake and mountains. #QinghaiLake #PlateauTravel #HealingScenery #RepublicDriving #Weekend Escape
