Qinghai Maduo Ancient City Travel Guide

Scenic spot introduction:

"Ma Duo" means the source of the Yellow River in Tibetan. Maduo Ancient City is the first county in the upper reaches of the Yellow River. The source of the Yellow River, the cradle of Chinese culture, is located in this county. The population here is sparse, the climate is harsh, the altitude is over 4,200 meters, the weather is unpredictable, and there are four seasons in one day. The green grassy wilderness is like a huge green carpet, displayed under the sky of thousands of miles away. The sky is high and the clouds are clear, boundless, and there are countless yaks, Tibetan sheep, wild horses, wild donkeys, bears, antelopes, and stone sheep. , snow leopards, marmots, red foxes and horses are scattered all over the grassland. It is really a wonderful picture of "the sky is blue and the wild is vast", and cattle and sheep can be seen everywhere on the grassland.

Attractions distribution:

There is the first bridge of the Yellow River in the western suburbs of Maduo County. The water of the Yellow River here is crystal clear. Walking on the bridge brings you a unique feeling of longing for distant memories. Further west, you will see Eling Lake and Zhaling Lake, 20 kilometers west of Eling Lake. These two lakes are like a pair of pearls embedded in the upper reaches of the Yellow River. Going upstream from the source, the water is clear and the sky is wide. Along the way, you can see the scenery of Tibetan pastoral areas, with rich pastures, herds of cattle and sheep, Xingxiu Sea, Yuegu Zongli Canal and the famous Kariqu. If winter and spring arrive, you can dig out the ice for fishing and see tens of thousands of migratory birds. The scenery is extremely spectacular.
