Things to do in Madoi

It is a protected area and the navigation system cannot help us get there. We followed an experienced off-road driver to enter. After walking on a washboard road, the Tiffany blue lake water hit us. It was so beautiful that we just wanted to stare blankly. There are so many levels of blue, milky blue, Tiffany blue, dark blue, and countless deep blue. We went to the alien ruins next to it. The landscape there is so strange that it doesn't look like something on Earth. There is also an extremely flat and smooth large turntable helipad that is hard to explain.

A special trip to Longyang Gorge was a delight, far exceeding my expectations! While the Yellow River is known for its silt-laden waters, here I found a tranquil, emerald-green lake. The 33-kilometer-long gorge is majestic and expansive, with an eight-kilometer-long suspended walkway offering breathtaking views. With luck, you might spot argali sheep on the cliffs or golden eagles soaring overhead. The natural scenery is both wild and soothing. A boat trip across Longyang Lake is breathtaking, with the sunset painting the water a shimmering golden light. The adjacent Earth Forest Geological Park, with its millennia-old weathered landforms, features reddish-brown earth pillars under the setting sun, creating a truly atmospheric experience – a natural geological museum. There's also the first dam on the Yellow River, a magnificent and awe-inspiring engineering feat. It offers stunning scenery and insights into hydroelectric history, making it suitable for educational trips, road trips, and family outings. The scenic area boasts excellent facilities, well-maintained trails, clean restrooms, tidy boats, and patient staff. The package ticket is a great deal, and the average summer temperature of around 20 degrees Celsius provides a cool respite from the heat. Unlike other popular tourist destinations, it's not crowded or noisy. With its unique and unparalleled scenery, Longyang Gorge is a must-see when visiting Qinghai!

Driving along the Dema Expressway to Golog, we finally saw one of the four sacred mountains of Tibet—Mount Amne Machin. Unlike other famous snow-capped mountains heavily commercialized, this place retains a rare pristine tranquility. There are no crowds of tourists, only grasslands, prayer flags, and continuous snow-capped peaks, perfect for travelers who want to quietly appreciate the magnificent scenery of the plateau. The viewing platform next to the No. 1 Tunnel of the snow mountain offers an excellent free photo opportunity. On a clear day, the main peak of Amne Machin Kangri is fully revealed, with several glaciers cascading down the mountainside, their grey-white ice tongues stretching into the valleys. Below lies an endless alpine meadow, where yaks graze leisurely, and colorful prayer flags flutter in the wind—every snapshot is an atmospheric scene. If you're lucky enough to arrive at dawn, the sunlight bathes the snow-capped peaks, creating a breathtaking golden sunrise. If you want to get closer to the glacier, you can exit the expressway and head towards Damxung Glacier. However, please note that after leaving the main road, the road surface is mostly unpaved gravel with many curves, and it can easily become muddy in rainy weather, so drive with caution. Reaching the foot of the glacier requires a short hike. The area's altitude is generally above 4300 meters, so avoid running or fast walking, as this can easily trigger altitude sickness. Standing beneath the millennia-old glacier, you can clearly see crevasses and deep blue ice layers, hear the howling wind, and truly feel the immense power of nature. Let's discuss some objective challenges to the trip, which you should consider beforehand. The weather on the plateau is unpredictable; one moment it's clear and sunny, the next it can be shrouded in clouds, obscuring the entire snow-capped mountain and making it easy to miss your destination. Always check the weather forecast beforehand. Cell phone signal is intermittent in the heart of the region, so it's recommended to download offline maps beforehand. Amenities are very basic; there are few shops and restrooms along the way, so bring your own drinking water and snacks. Drones are strictly prohibited throughout the area; don't waste your trip. As a sacred pilgrimage mountain for Tibetans, please respect local customs. Circumambulate the mani stones clockwise, do not trample or damage prayer flags, and take all trash with you. There's no need to insist on reaching the depths of the glacier; a distant view of the sacred mountain from the highway observation deck is just as moving. More than a rushed sightseeing tour, Amne Machin is best experienced at a leisurely pace. Here, all the anxieties of city life will find peace before the majestic snow-capped mountains. Those who prefer off-the-beaten-path destinations and pristine highland scenery should definitely come; however, tourists seeking well-equipped and comfortable facilities should consider carefully.

The beautiful Qinghai Lake is the most worthwhile place to visit. Although you may only visit it once in your life, it will definitely make you unforgettable. You must go there when you are young and can do whatever you want. Yes.
