Qinghai Loop Travel Notes | Qinghai is a good place with pleasant mountains and rivers

▲I heard that Qinghai Lake is suitable for dreaming

 

Setting off to Qinghai was a spur of the moment decision, but it was more like a long-planned trip.

Thanks to the self-driving news about the three-day Qinghai Lake small loop in the circle of friends, that Monday, I flipped through the air tickets, hesitated for a moment, and decided to go!

 

There was an early morning flight the next day, so I took the night alone to catch the plane and set off under the auspicious clouds at six o'clock in Shenzhen. The new journey would be a surprise!

I landed in Xining at noon. I couldn’t rent the red jeep I wanted due to space reasons, but I was still happy. We finally arrived in both Qinghai and Tibet provinces.

 

There are also yaks and sheep all over the mountains and fields. Although the scenery is not as vast and desolate as Hoh Xil in winter, the vegetation is shallow and lifeless.

The road around the mountain winds like a ribbon, winding between the green mountains and stretching into the endless distance.

Occasionally, we would be blocked by cattle on the road. I asked the man who was riding a horse and he said that I could honk the horn, but there was no rush. After all, we couldn't afford to pay for the shock.

Once you live up to your expectations, Qinghai Lake will last forever

 

The scenery of Qinghai Lake, with its blue sky and blue waves, is as gentle as brocade and will last forever.

 

The hammock by the lake costs 10 yuan per person. Make it, it’s all coming!

The red shawl specially brought for the occasion is a good tool for sun protection.

The style of the Qinghai Lake, the water rushing over the small island looks like it loves you.

The car is galloping along, the wind and clouds are changing, and the seasons are renewed.

Go for a walk on that legendary long road. Do you think you can reach the end of the world if you keep walking?

All kinds of artificial and concave shapes ~ toast the past with a glass of wine, don’t look back on the past, and don’t make do with the future.

The salt lake reflects the starry sky, and teaka washes away the mundane world

Chaka Salt Lake - was rated as "one of the 55 places you must visit in your lifetime" by the National Tourism Geographic Magazine. It is a great honor to be here.

The prayer flags in Qinghai are not as random as those in Tibet. They are all well-organized, with sharp points and edges, as if strong winds can't do anything to them.

Walk along the railway tracks to the depths of the salt lake, or stop to take a photo of the approaching train!

I don’t know if they knew each other, but they were walking one behind the other, so far away, looking so lonely and beautiful.

You are the scenery in the mirror, and I am the person passing by and looking in the mirror.

Try stepping into the lake with bare feet and feel the coolness and excitement of the salt crystals touching the soles of your feet.

Or sit by the lake and think about the past and future.

In the mirror of the sky, heaven and earth reflect each other, and you get double joy.

 

Clouds and mist cover the mountains, and beautiful scenery enters Qilian

 

The Qilian Mountains flow between the sky and the earth, the grasslands stretch as far as the eye can see, and the roads are straight and slender. Under the clouds, they form a beautiful picture.

Unfortunately, the weather was not good, the camera was not powerful, and the scenery in the lens was pitch black, so I had to do some acrobatics along the way.

Holding hands and looking into tearful eyes, I was speechless and choked~ Forget it, I don’t know what to say, let me give you a split!

Thinking about it, thousands of miles of smoke, the dusk is heavy and the sky is vast~ Well, the rapeseed flowers look good!

You have to reach mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, and pack every frame of starlight along the way into a bag full of crazy dreams, until you return home with a pocket full of happiness.

I have nothing to seek in this life. I am busy working as a social worker every day. I am just coveting the breeze, morning dew and freedom. After all, mountains, rivers, lakes and seas are not free, and air tickets and fuel are very expensive.

 

May you live a steamy life in this unpredictable world!
