Itinerary 6: Dongtai Jinair Lake, Dachaidan Emerald Lake
To be honest, it was really uncomfortable to sleep in the car. We got up at seven o'clock in the morning. After getting off the car, I saw that Koala's car was not there. Later I realized that it was convenient to go there. Going to the toilet in the wild is like this. I just find a place to solve it. That’s it.
The Melancholy Prince - Koala
Back at the hotel, I took a quick shower, and I have to say that the water was really cold, bitingly cold. After having a quick bite to eat, everyone gathered and prepared to go to Dongtai Jinair Lake. Although it is just one word different from Xitai Jinair Lake, it is a completely different scenery.
Dongtai Jinair Lake
Dongtai Jinair Lake is a salt lake, larger and more beautiful than Chaka Salt Lake. As expected, viewing the salt lake depends on the weather. The weather was not very good when we arrived, but it was still very beautiful, like being in a white fairy tale world.

The ticket for Dongtai Jinair Lake is only ten yuan, and we came out after watching it for a while. On the way to Dachaidan, I finally saw the Internet celebrity highway, which looked like a highway leading directly to the sky.
The most beautiful road
There are many people staying and taking photos on the road, but there are also many vehicles coming and going. Be careful when taking photos and watching . This is a downhill road, and the braking performance of the vehicle will be weakened, especially for large vehicles. Cars, please give way in advance.
After having lunch at a small restaurant on the roadside, I asked Brother Qiang to help me drive a distance because I was too sleepy. Kaola and the others went to Xiaochaidan, but our car and A Bing’s car missed it again. We drove to Dachaidan.

There are too many salt lakes here in Dachaidan Emerald Lake, one after another. It is recommended to come to Dachaidan if you have time , Chaka Salt Lake is a bit low, and the colors of the lakes are different There are still certain differences.

After the team was all reunited, everyone was excitedly taking pictures in various funny ways by the lake. I was thinking about writing a final post to talk about the ridiculous moments along the way, haha

After having a local special mutton meal in the evening, we stayed at Dachaidan and finally had an early rest.

Itinerary 7: South Eight Immortals Devil City, Tianjun Stone Forest
When I woke up in the morning, I actually drank spicy spicy soup at Dachaidan. From the accent of the boss, I could tell that he was from Henan. I later confirmed that it was true. The boss said that there are many truck drivers pulling goods here from Henan.
After breakfast, we set off to Devil City. After passing through a piece of Gobi Desert, we can see the entrance of Nanbaxian Yadan. There are no serious roads here, only wheel marks. A car with a low chassis cannot drive in .
Southern Eight Immortals Devil City
We stumbled along the way, and it was like riding a roller coaster inside the car. In the end, the Buddhist convoy got separated. We stopped at a place, climbed up a mound, and looked at the past. It was so desolate that it looked like we were on Mars.
Southern Eight Immortals Devil City
He contacted Koala using the walkie-talkie and agreed to meet on the nearest highway. After turning off the engine and resting for a while, he had lunch in the service area and set off for Tianjun County, 400 kilometers away.
Signs seen on the road
As expected, the professional fleet was scattered again, with Black Hawk (Westwood) at the front, Feitian (Koala) about 5 kilometers behind, and Leng. The lake number (A Bing) was about 20 kilometers behind and stopped in a grassland. The koala quickly followed and waited for A Bing here together.
Grassland passing by the roadside
Brother Qiang, who was resting, was asked by the Tibetan uncle to take photos of his son. It took him a while to come back. When A Bing was about to arrive, we also set off, walking through an extremely difficult road, and then followed the The path turned into a group of mountains, and the stone forest in the mountains could be seen in the distance.
stone forest
The most common things here are the sheep all over the mountains and plains, the yaks in groups, and the voles that are not afraid of people in the grass on the roadside.

As we got out of the car to take pictures and got separated from the koalas again, we saw a group of Tibetans shearing sheep at a three-way intersection. We stopped the car and wanted to go over and have a look. The Tibetans were very enthusiastic and even added us on WeChat. Let me send him pictures.
The uncle told us that we wanted to go to the Stone Forest and had to go back and take a small road. We met A Bing on the road. We met two uncles camping on the road. They said there was nothing inside, so we had no choice but to turn left at the previous three-way intersection.
A camp for Tibetan herders
I accidentally walked into the depths of the mountain forest and met a very scary old lady. She looked weird and seemed to have some physical disabilities. I was frightened when I asked for directions. Next to her residence is a strangely large rock.
unknown big stone
It's a bit like the Holy Elephant Tianmen, but there is no lake. After playing here for a while, we returned the same way. On the way back, we encountered several Tibetan Mastiffs, which were very vicious.
