Daotang River

The river is a seasonal river that relies on snow melt and rain, the smallest of Qinghai Lake water systems. The river inverted the river is winding, crystal clear, like a bright silk and satin floating on the grassland charming, here you can ride horses, visit the Tibetan folk culture exhibition hall, watch the Oriental god dog snow Tibetan, try on the national costumes for pictures.

The river is located in Hainan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province, about 40 kilometers in length, and flows from east to west, flowing into Qinghai Lake, which is different from most rivers from west to east, so the name is the river. The river originated in the Chahan grassland of Shanxi, the sun and moon, the river is winding, the river is crystal clear, and it looks like a bright ribbon floating on the grassland.

The Dabu River Scenic Area was taken by the driver on the first day of the Qinghai Lake trip. From Zamprinka and Sun Moon Mountain, I think the reason why the master took us may be because of the convenient transportation, because the scenic spot is the only way to Qinghai Lake. As long as it is from Xining City through Wuyuan County to Qinghai Lake will pass through the river, so stay a little. The scenic spot is located next to the Daoqihe Town. It is a small area circled by Tibetans next to the Daoqihe River. The ticket is 40 yuan. There is no discount ticket such as student tickets. Because this is a privately operated scenic spot, there are rare tents and Jingyu inside, and the scenery seen outside is similar. The inverted river I saw was pitifully small, I couldn't notice it at all, it was a river, it was actually more like a stream, but in a green, its blue was so dazzling. After entering the scenic spot, you can wear Tibetan clothes and ride yak for free. The quality of Tibetan clothes is also bad. Note that yak are all holding, just for the photo. We went in and turned around as a car. It took less than 20 minutes to come out. It is not recommended to enter if the time is tight. In addition to wearing Tibetan clothes and watching the head, It won't impress you here.

I have been to Qinghai three times, and the most impressive ones are Qinghai Lake and the Fatao River.

Tibetan style, snow mountain pasture grassland scenery is good

Snow mountain pasture cattle and sheep in groups, Tibetan style.

The unique landscape of Qinghai Lake, the river "return", is not surprising.

There are different opinions about the legend of the upstream river. One mountain apart, east of Riyueshan, the Han people have said for thousands of years that in order to communicate the relationship between the Tibetan and Han nationalities and promote cultural exchanges, Tang Wang Li Shimin married the young and beautiful Wencheng princess to Tubo Songzan Ganbu. On her way to Tibet, Princess Wencheng did not look back at Chang'an and looked desolately to the west. She missed her hometown, missed her parents, was sad and moved westward. The princess's tears merged into this upside-down river. To the west of Riyueshan, another myth spread among the Tibetans - "The Dragon King sent his four sons and daughters to make the four rivers of East and west. When the youngest daughter made the West Sea, 108 rivers were needed. She found 107 rivers, and the last one was nowhere to be found. The smart and cunning dragon lady brought a river from Riyueshan Mountain, which is called an upside-down river. The third way of saying is that the river is an upside-down river of the Dragon King. The upside-down river originates from the Chahan grassland at the foot of the Shanxi Mountains of Riyueshan Mountain, about 3300 meters above sea level, about 40 kilometers in length, and flows from east to west into the Zaihu of Qinghai Lake, Erhai (commonly known as Xiaohu), so it is called an upside-down river. The Tibetan word "Roumoyong" means an enviable place. It is the smallest branch of the Qinghai Lake water system, not only the winding river, but also the clear river bottom. In fact, the upside-down river was also an east-flowing river. It was injected into the Yellow River with the Buha River and Luohantang River. Because of the crustal changes, the Riyueshan Mountains uplifted, and then it turned to the west to inject into Qinghai Lake, becoming an upside-down river.
