Qinghai Lake

Qinghai Lake is a relatively large inland saltwater lake in China, also known as "Kukunoer", which means "blue sea" in Mongolian. In summer and autumn, the lake is clear and blue, the water and the sky are the same, and the surrounding mountains are gentle.

 

 

Day3: Qinghai Lake - "Sky Land" Chaka Salt Lake " - Haizi's Golden World" Delingha

 

【Caka Salt Lake】

Chaka Salt Lake is located near Chaka Town, Wulan County, Haixi Mongolian and Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province. Chaka Salt Lake is also called Chaka, which means salt pond in Tibetan. Since ancient times, it has been famous for its rich "Daqingyan". Chaka Salt Lake is a veritable city of the sky in China, which has the beauty of tea card, mirror image and boundless beauty. As long as you stand in front of her, you can get a large-scale effect with a background.

 

 

Day4: Delingha - Crossing the No Man's Land in Yadan, Qinghai - Emerald Lake - Dachaidan

Come to the G315U highway and feel the emptiness in the northwest.

 

【Emerald Lake】

Another beautiful place in Haixi Prefecture of Qinghai Province, overlooking the whole lake from God's perspective is as striking as several broken emeralds. White salt crystals, blue-green lake water, no landmarks, and even locals rarely know that she is the peerless secret in the depths of Qaidam!

 

 

Day5: Dachaidan - “Qinghai Maldives“ Dongtai Jinaier Lake - Shuishang Yadan - Nanbaxian Yadan - Dachaidan

 

Dongtai Jinaier Lake

Much like Maldives, the scenery is super beautiful, so stand by the lake and take a cool photo ~ The magic of Dongtai Jinaier Lake is that a dirt road divides the lake into two parts, one is pure Tiffany blue, and the other is pure green with high salt content.

 

Yadan on the water

Yadan on the water is the only Yadan group on the water in the world. Because of its small population and incomplete development, it is just the right place to punch cards. After thousands of years of wind and rain, this Yadan landform group stands on the ocean like a group of whales swimming in the sea to show their backs.

 

Yadan ghost city

This is not a "mound", but the result of geological changes and natural wind carving and sand cutting. Whenever the wind blows, it sounds like ghosts, and you can't find your way out after going in at night, so the locals call Yadan "ghost city". Take a cool photo for yourself here!

 

 

Day6: Dachaidan - “Break into the wasteland” - Oil Town-Dunhuang

 

【Oil Town】

The oil town is the shooting place of the nine-story demon tower. It used to be a county town, but this abandoned town was left because of the relocation of the ancient county town.

Mingshashan Yueya Spring

In this ancient desert, the sunrise in the distance and the crescent spring under the eyes form a beautiful picture.

When there is no wind, the desert sleeps quietly, and the sand wave lines outlined by the sand dunes show a euphemistic and beautiful beauty. When the wind blows, the roaring storm rolls up the yellow sand all over the sky, and that cruel fury is the unique charm of the desert.

 

【Mogao Grottoes】

Flying flowers and rain, the hometown of Silk Road is here. The murals in the nine-story stupa and grottoes all say that this is Dunhuang, and this is the hometown of Feitian! The Mogao Grottoes, commonly known as the Thousand Buddha Cave, is regarded as a valuable cultural discovery of zui in the 20th century. Dunhuang, located at the western end of Hexi Corridor, is famous for its exquisite murals and statues. It was built in the pre-Qin period of sixteen countries, and after the construction of sixteen countries, Sui, Tang, Five Dynasties, Xixia and Yuan Dynasties, it formed a huge scale.
