Qinghai Lake

Learning from the travel notes of predecessors and adding their own interests, the following route is formulated: the whole route is divided into two parts. The first half is the car tour of Qinghai small ring road; The second half is Gansu railway. First half: (if there are more than two people with rich driving experience, it is suggested to rent a car in Xining or Lanzhou, which is more free. Otherwise, it is better to charter a car, even if the road condition is OK. Most of them are local people. They are not only familiar with the road conditions, but also familiar with the whole environment. This is very important, because there are many people in Qinghai during the peak season, and there are many traffic jams in hot spots such as Qinghai Lake and Menyuan.) 7.17day。 Xining Huangyuan dange'er ancient city Qinghai Lake erlangjian scenic spot (Qinghai Lake regular scenic spot: lunch) - Chaka Salt Lake Heima River (accommodation) 7.18 days.

Before arriving in Xining

After staying in Zhengzhou for 9 hours, if you meet Yushen, you can only turn around nearby. The first choice is Erqi square, which has a complete range of food, drink, play, entertainment and housing. In addition to the famous Erqi pagoda, you can also taste the special stewed noodles of Henan Province. Knowing that the noodles will continue to meet in the next ten days, you decide to have a good meal of rice. My stay in Zhengzhou is not long, and I don't know much about Zhengzhou, which originates from Li Zhi's "memory of Zhengzhou". Henan is also a place to listen to the people around. There are many stories on the Internet. They have never been here. However, everyone comes or has been here for different reasons, and their feelings are always different. Zhengzhou railway station and the surrounding planning layout is very good. There is a very long underground square under Erqi square. There are lattice shops on both sides. You can have a stroll, and there is a food street. There is a passage on the Internet to share with you: Zhengzhou is not as prosperous as Kaifeng and Luoyang, nor as rich as Shanghai and Beijing. However, Zhengzhou is still Zhengzhou, year after year, day after day in the years of invasion of the road. I think I will come here again. I will have a different experience.

The famous Zhongshan Bridge and Baitashan in Lanzhou are close to Dazhong lane, which is in the pedestrian street of Zhangye road in the center of Lanzhou. After eating, we walked to Zhongshan Bridge. Out of Dazhong lane, there is the Yellow River. The water of the Yellow River is really yellow. You can take a speedboat and a sheepskin raft on the bank. Not far away is Zhongshan Bridge, which was built by German in the early 20th century and is still in use today. There are many tourists. After Zhongshan Bridge is Baitashan. There is no ticket for Baitashan. You can see the whole city of Lanzhou from the top. Lanzhou is built in the valley between the two mountains. The special geographical location determines the construction and development of the city. The city is East-West belt, and the Yellow River passes through the city, which gives the whole city spirit and vitality.

Before the start of the journey

Previously, I told you that there were six people on this trip, and my friend and his classmates who attended the meeting also wanted to join us. So we packed a car with eight seats (1200 yuan / day). The local tourist bus has been very mature. Famous bus Charterers can be found on Weibo and wechat, and we can find more goods to compare with three, but the prices are basically the same. Our price is in the peak season, It's much cheaper in off-season, but who makes Qinghai the most beautiful in July and August The motor car arrived at the station on time, and the charterer waited outside the station and warmly led us to the car. On the evening of the 16th, I stayed in a family hotel and made a reservation online. There are three rooms and one living room. There are two beds in each of the two rooms. As long as 288, the conditions are good. It's affordable and suitable for seven of us. In the evening, I ate noodles nearby, and the rice here has begun to be raw. The next day, the Chartered driver came to pick us up at seven, so he went to bed early. On the 17th, at seven o'clock in the morning, the Chartered bus master arrived on time. The most inconvenient thing about staying in a family hotel is that there is usually only one toilet, and seven people use it more compactly, so people who are slow must get up early. The seven of us have a high degree of tacit understanding, and there is basically no delay. There is no Ta'er temple in this three-day charter trip, because Ta'er temple is in the south of Xining and Qinghai Lake is in the west of Xining. If you go to Ta'er temple on the same day, it will be too late to go to Chaka Salt Lake. We are not interested in Buddhism, so we didn't go. But personally, I still want to see it. Because there is a pagoda first and then a temple, it's named Ta'er temple. It belongs to the Gelug Sect of Tibetan Buddhism. If you don't have a deep study in this aspect, I suggest you take a tour.

We start here

Looking at the scenery along the way is like riding a sightseeing bus in the scenic spot

Well, here comes the shining back..

Qinghai Lake

Qinghai Lake

This is the salt lake on the right side of the track

All kinds of long guns and short cannons have been set up by the Heima river.

Heimahe Township

Do you have the feeling of standing at the foot of the Alps?

Give nature a warm embrace.

It's far away from the scenic area. The car platoon is long. I can't afford to hurt it...

I've never been to Ta'er temple. I found something I didn't pay attention to when I went to aruo temple like this.

Arrou Temple

Menyuan rape flower

Pingshan Lake Grand Canyon

It's a very casual family fortune.

Before arriving at Dunhuang, I had already contacted for accommodation (package, the boss drives a taxi, so it's very convenient). My place of residence is near the gate of Mingsha mountain scenic area. There are many convenient family hostels.

One of the top ten scenic spots that will disappear in China.

Mogao Grottoes belongs to the world cultural heritage. There are many people waiting in line to book emergency tickets, to watch movies introducing historical background in the digital exhibition center, to give free water to the old and young when waiting for the bus, and then to visit the professional explanation of Dunhuang Research Institute in the scenic area. Although there are many people, they feel attentive and professional. One word: value.

(it's just near Jiayuguan. It's the most developed glacier in Asia. It's the closest glacier to the urban area. Vehicles can reach 3800m above sea level. The glacier tongue is at 4300, so it's necessary to walk for a long distance).

Take some medicine: Huoxiang Zhenqi water, carsickness medicine, lactobacillus tablets (diarrhea). About food: try to find clean restaurants along the way, don't eat too full. Taste difference, take some dry food with you. About accommodation: book in advance, call to confirm. If you don't have enough clothes to wash, you can bring a mini hair dryer. About the line: car rental self driving with a good book and credit card, charter must be all the details of a good. About photography: I bought Canon 550D in 2013, with dog's head, and fixed focus in the later stage. The student party has not been upgraded. Although sometimes I feel it is not enough, it can give full play to its greatest ability. Machines? Enough. If you want to take a picture of the galaxy in orbit, remember to bring a tripod, shutter cable, backup battery and memory card. The starry sky of Heima river is OK, but the light pollution around it is serious. About travel: the scenery along the way is naturally beautiful, but what can not be ignored is the long-distance bumpy, tired, carsick and heavy head. However, this is all about travel, which brings you new cognition and perception, as well as difficult tests. Through this trip, I think I will firmly believe in my own ideas, I will always be on the road, wind and rain. About sentiment: there may be mistakes. I hope you can criticize and correct them.
