Qinghai Lake Travel Guide
🌊Qinghai Lake, known in Tibetan as "Cuowenbu" meaning "blue sea", is crystal clear and stretches as far as the eye can see. Some say Qinghai Lake is a "sapphire" 💎 left by nature in the inland, and it is also the "Jade Pool" mentioned in legends, associated with the Queen Mother of the West, or "Wangmu Niangniang". The average altitude is 3196 meters⛰️
🌊Qinghai Lake is the largest inland saltwater lake in China, also known as Xianhai or Freshwater Sea. After the Northern Wei Dynasty, it was called Qinghai, characterized by low temperatures, large diurnal temperature variation, scarce and concentrated rainfall, long sunshine hours, and strong solar radiation. Winters are harsh and long, while summers are cool and brief🌞

Ok, it’s pretty good. The scenery is very pleasant. The photos are especially good. The sky is particularly blue. We are in the off-season. If we come in summer, the scenery should be better. A green.
The first stop of Qinghai tourism, satisfied, the scenery is OK, but the whole scenic spot is a bit too small, in fact, there are very cute rabbits in the place to take pictures, there are good places to take pictures with lambs and yak, you can come and play
The scenery of Sun Moon Mountain is very good. This is the first attraction of our three-day tour. There are not many tourists in Sun Moon Mountain in late autumn. It is a little cold, but the scenery is impressive. The statue of Princess Wencheng and the Tangyu Ancient Road are all worth visiting.
Ctrip can place an order, and you can buy it on the spot. If you place an order on your mobile phone, you have to tell the staff the order number at the door to get the paper ticket. Riyue Mountain is mainly a big Jingyu. In fact, the weathered color is light in the near look, but the photo P is still very popular. There is also Wencheng Princess Temple, which needs to walk a long way from Dajingyu, but you can drive there. The mountain is very windy, pay attention to keep warm.
