I visited Qinghai in 2017 and 2020 At that time, the scenery of Qinghai already amazed me On May Day this year, I set foot on Qinghai for the third time.

Feel the miraculous craftsmanship of nature! Recommended attractions A must-see at Dachaidan Emerald Lake Located in Dachaidan Town, there are colorful salt lakes in the scenic area, which are particularly stunning on sunny days and the aerial photography is very photogenic. If you are pressed for time, Qarhan Salt Lake can be abandoned in Golmud City. It takes about an hour and a half to get there from Dachaidan. After arriving, you need to take a scenic bus for half an hour to enter, which takes a long time. It is characterized by the green apple-colored salt lake, which is easy to produce aerial photography~ Dongtai Jinair Lake is a must-see for free The salt lake located on the edge of Yadan on the water is called the Maldives of Qinghai. A sightseeing drive has now been built to reach the lake. The color is great, don’t miss it! Recommended by Shuiyadan The only Yadan Group on the water in the world is a rare spectacle, and it may dry up one day in the future. However, the accommodation conditions in the scenic area are average. Oboliang If you are short of time, you can give up. A must-go for starry sky lovers The Yadan Group, located deep in the Gobi Desert, looks like the surface of Mars. It is far away from human settlements, making it a holy place for starry sky photography. However, the road conditions are poor and the distance is long, and tickets to scenic spots are relatively expensive. If you are pressed for time, you may choose to give up. Heidu Mountain is free and a must-go The most popular attraction in Lenghu Town in recent years, drive to the parking lot and enter on foot. The black and gray mountain structure creates a stunning ink painting. The U-shaped road is free and a must-go A section of National Highway 315, you can just park on the side of the road, it’s very cinematic Blood of the Earth can be photographed aerially while passing by National Highway 315 is not so bright to the naked eye and requires aerial photography to see the complete picture.

In spring, wildflowers bloom on the grassland, creating a colorful scene; in summer, the grass is lush, and the climate is pleasant; in autumn, the golden meadows and white snow-capped mountains intertwine like an oil painting; in winter, the whole world is covered in silver, like a fairy tale world. Cultural Significance Tanggula Mountain Pass holds an important position in Tibetan culture and is regarded as a sacred symbol. Many Tibetans offer khatas when passing by, praying for peace and good fortune. There are also prayer flag arrays at the pass, with colorful prayer flags fluttering in the wind.

You can observe the lives of yaks and sheep up close, listen to their calls, and feel the harmony and beauty of nature. However, due to the high altitude, be sure to control your pace and avoid strenuous exercise while hiking.
