In order to save money to the greatest extent, we found two carpooling partners from Chengdu in Douban's "Qinghai tour group". They were also on the graduation trip. After chatting on QQ, we felt that they were very close and decided.

It was midnight when we arrived at caojiabao airport, and we didn't see the high reaction that we had been worried about. What we saw was fresh and cool air, breathing smoothly! Because of the late time, we didn't look at the night scene of Xining, so we fell into a sweet dream.

The first day: Ta'er temple - Daotang River - Chaka Salt Lake - Heima River

At 8 o'clock, I met our carpooling partner, master Guo, the Chartered driver, and master's brand-new maiteng.

On the tall walls of each hall, we first saw the "murals", the first of the three great arts. These murals all use stone minerals as pigments, with bright colors and lasting. Each painting is ingeniously conceived, appropriately arranged, exquisite and vivid.

Master said that this is the famous Malan Flower.

Looking down at the river at the Bank of Daotang River, I saw ripples and could not tell the direction.

See Qinghai Lake for the first time! Shifu said that there are two sub lakes on the East Bank of the lake. One is Gahai Lake with salty water, covering an area of more than 10 square kilometers; One is the fresh water Erhai, covering an area of 4 square kilometers.

Because Chaka Salt Lake is also included in the itinerary of the day, we only played in Qinghai Lake for one hour before we went to the salt lake. The master saw that everyone was reluctant to give up, so he said with a smile that it didn't matter. He would go back to Qinghai Lake to stay in the evening and have to play tomorrow. We went to Chaka Salt Lake with confidence.

"Chaka" means "the shore of salt sea" in Tibetan. With a total area of 105 square kilometers, the salt lake is a famous natural crystalline salt lake in Qaidam Basin. The salt grains are large, pure and mellow. As early as the 28th year of Qianlong (1763 AD), it has been mined for more than 230 years.

Different scenery on the other side of the track.

National Highway 109 (jingla Road) starts from Beijing in the northeast and ends in Lhasa in the southwest, with a total length of 3922 km.

There was a lot of fog by the lake, and it had risen a certain distance from the lake by sunrise. When the golden sun is shining on the surface of the lake, the shimmering light is shining in the sunlight, and the people by the lake feel the magic of nature with cheers.

Qinghai Tibet railway by the lake.

The railway, the lake and the mountain are fantastic. When you have a chance to go to Tibet, you must take the train. How beautiful the scenery is along the way!

Cattle and sheep flock under the blue sky and white clouds.

The altitude is rising. The master said that we would reach the highest point on our way.

Most of the green places are rape flowers. Imagine how beautiful the golden rape flowers will be at the end of June and July! I really want to do it again in a month!

Clouds like smoke...

When you reach the top of the mountain, you can overlook the whole Qilian Mountains, which is known as "Oriental Switzerland".

In the evening, I went back to the city and enjoyed yogurt, Sanzi, sweet fermented grains, fermented skin, milk skin, stewed mutton, chengguiyang neck, etc.... We all eat, O (∩)_ (laughter)~

It's a pity that when we went there, it just rained heavily, and even the Yellow River in guide became turbid_ ∩)O~

There were very few visitors in the scenic area on that day, so it was reserved everywhere...

In the afternoon, we flew back to Beijing. In the morning, we visited the mosque and mabufang mansion in Dongguan.

This is the end of the five-day trip to Qinghai. All kinds of things.

The happiest part of this trip is that we are very, very lucky to meet a very, very good chartered bus master, master Guo Fenqiang. Although we didn't do any homework before we went, this trip is the most enjoyable one, the most comfortable one, the happiest one to eat and the very little one to spend. I would like to thank Master Guo for giving us such a wonderful graduation trip. By the way to you ready to go to Qinghai small partners solemnly recommended!

There are 2600650 passengers in 4 days.

Specialty and others 300 / person.

It's necessary to wear a thick dress.

It's better to book accommodation in advance, especially in Qilian. It's said that accommodation is very tight in July and August every year.
