Is it worth traveling to Qinghai and Gansu in May? Qinghai Tourism | Qinghai-Gansu Grand Loop Line coming in May? Listen to this!

If you ask me where I want to travel in May, my answer is: go where there are fewer people! I was really scared of being squeezed! In May, Qinghai and Gansu have fewer people, more beautiful scenery, and lower costs! Many people are more worried about the weather when they go to Shipa Run: 1. First of all, it is not cold in Qinghai and Gansu in May, and the daytime temperature is 20~30 degrees; 2. The temperature difference between morning and evening is quite large, so bring a thick coat 3. Light down jackets or jackets for the morning and evening, spring clothes + summer clothes for the day. 4. Wear sunglasses, sunscreen, and masks Travel Mode: Small local tour groups of 4-8 people: car + accommodation package, and then book tickets and meals while traveling. This is more casual, and there is no need to waste money if you are not interested; you don’t have to worry about anything else; ***About outfit and photography: 1. Drones really take photos. Emerald Lake, Chaerhan Salt Lake and Yadan Devil City are all good filming locations; 2. It is recommended to wear something colorful and eye-catching; clothes with a western cowboy style are also acceptable; How to plan a six-day itinerary?

Don't worry about the toilets along the way, most of them are flush toilets; 2. You don’t need to buy shoe covers in advance, they are available for rent in the scenic area; 3. The altitude sickness is relatively mild, so don't worry too much; Xining, Qinghai, Dunhuang, Jiuquan, Zhangye, Gansu, Qinghai Lake, Qinghai, Mogao Grottoes
