A Song Leads to a City | "Beautiful Qinghai," Road Trip to Xining and Qinghai Lake

🎶Inspired by the song "Beautiful Qinghai": There's a place on the roof of the world, Where rivers find their source and flow. Barren lands nurture resilient life, And devout souls yearn for sacred ground. This is the legendary paradise, Beautiful Qinghai, my beloved home. Colorful prayer flags flutter on mountain peaks, Chants from Ta'er Monastery echo far and wide. White hadas dance in the air, Bonfires paint faces with a warm glow. Beautiful Qinghai, A magical paradise. Towering snow-capped mountains, lush grasslands, Beyond Riyue Mountain, Qinghai Lake shimmers. White yurts house beautiful, radiant girls, Hardworking people tend to their flocks. This is the legendary paradise, Beautiful Qinghai, my beloved home. Colorful prayer flags flutter on mountain peaks, Chants from Ta'er Monastery echo far and wide. White hadas dance in the air, Bonfires paint faces with a warm glow. Beautiful Qinghai, A magical paradise. White hadas dance in the air, Bonfires paint faces with a warm glow. Beautiful Qinghai, A magical paradise. 👉Qinghai Lake and Xining have always been on my list. Here are my recommendations: 1️⃣Ta'er Monastery, also known as Tar Monastery, is located in Huangzhong District, Xining City, Qinghai Province. It was founded in 1379, during the 12th year of the Hongwu Emperor's reign in the Ming Dynasty. Its name comes from the Great Silver Stupa built in the Great Golden Tile Temple to commemorate Tsongkhapa, the founder of the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism. In Tibetan, it's called "Gumbum Jampa Ling," meaning "The Monastery of Maitreya with 100,000 Lion-Roaring Buddha Images." 2️⃣Qinghai Lake is one of the highest lakes in the world, with a surface elevation of 3,196 meters. 3️⃣Nanbaxian Devil City is a scenic spot in Haixi Prefecture, Qinghai. It was selected as one of the 100 "Most Beautiful Landscape Photography Spots" in Qinghai by *Chinese National Geography*. 4️⃣The most beautiful scenery is on the road (see photos 2, 3, and 4).
