Qinghai-Tibet Loop Travel Suggestions: A Must-Read for May Day Travelers

🚧 Qinghai-Tibet Loop Travel Suggestions: A Must-Read for May Day Travelers Having just completed the Qinghai-Tibet loop journey, I have some sincere suggestions for friends planning to go there during the May Day holiday. 🚫 About Chaka Salt Lake, I want to say that Chaka Salt Lake may not be suitable for everyone. By comparison, the scenery of Charhan Salt Lake and Emerald Lake is much more spectacular and definitely worth a visit. 📍 Recommended Attractions Here are the attractions I think you should not miss, and I suggest planning your trip around these places: Qinghai Lake Emerald Lake Charhan Salt Lake Water Yadan Mingsha Mountain Crescent Spring Mogao Caves Jiayuguan Pass Zhangye Danxia ⛺ Itinerary Planning Day1: Depart from Xining, pass Riyue Mountain, arrive at Qinghai Lake, and stay overnight at Chaka Salt Lake. Day2: From Chaka Salt Lake to Emerald Lake and Charhan Salt Lake, stay overnight at Da Qaidam. Day3: Visit the 315 National Highway, Water Yadan, and Devil City, return to Da Qaidam for accommodation. Day4: Head to the oil town and Silk Road heritage city, stay overnight in Dunhuang. Day5: Visit Mogao Caves, Mingsha Mountain Crescent Spring, explore Dunhuang night market in the evening, stay in Dunhuang. Day6: Depart from Dunhuang, pass Jiayuguan to Zhangye Danxia, stay overnight in Zhangye. Day7: Depart from Zhangye, pass through Qilian Grassland and Gangshika Snow Peak, return to Xining. 🚘 Travel Tips Compared to the tight schedule of travel groups, I recommend renting a car for a free trip, which can avoid unnecessary attractions and save time. Customize your own route, and accommodation is also more economical. 📸 Essential Items Sunglasses Windbreaker Sunscreen Moisturizing skincare products 💊 Medical Preparations Gastrointestinal medicine: Suitable for people with sensitive stomachs. Erythromycin ointment: To cope with the dry climate of the Northwest, prevent chapping. Cold medicine: The temperature difference between morning and evening is large, prepare medicine to prevent colds. Oxygen bottles: Although the altitude is not high, they can be purchased online in advance, economical and affordable. Motion sickness medicine: Essential for long-distance travel and those who get motion sickness.
