It's great, Qinghai Lake is great, but it's relatively suitable for self-driving. I feel that the car is not very convenient. I also took a cruise, a luxury cruise, and fed seagulls. Are you envious? Xixi
It is worth recommending the main scenic area + small train. Regardless of the scenery or the experience, it is absolutely worth it. This experience cannot be experienced in places like the Internet celebrity viewing platform. It makes sense to be the main scenic area.

Zhuoer Mountain is a hilly grassland, opposite to Amidongso, with nice scenery. In addition, the scenic area is also very mature. There is an extra-long elevator going up the mountain and a water slide going down the mountain, which is also very interesting. Overall, it is not very tiring and is suitable for traveling with children.
The scenery is amazing. You can see snow-capped mountains, Danxia, and experience the beauty of clouds on the mountaintops. The problem is that the snow has melted by the time you get there. You can go up on horseback for 160 yuan per person (you can negotiate a price). There are also horse-drawn carriages, and you can take a slide down. If you want a natural and unspoiled experience, you can skip the scenic area. After all, the scenic area is crowded and the views are similar. The scenery along the way is beautiful! You have to queue up to take pictures of the Sky Mirror, and you can't take them yourself! The guy who led the horse was very nice and helped me take pictures, haha!

It is known as the first snow peak in life, because it is the closest snow peak to the city more than 5 kilometers. Traffic is a big advantage. From Xining, it is very convenient to take the Zhangwen Expressway or the 227 provincial road. The good thing is that the attractions are free and only need a shuttle bus for 25 yuan. The fly in the ointment is that there is only a small amount of snow at the end of the arrival, which is a little disappointing. I heard that if you want to climb the snowy mountain, you must issue a specific inspection report and a professional mountaineering certificate.
Transportation: It is very convenient to drive there. The road conditions are good throughout the journey, so there is no need to worry about bumps on the road.
Scenery: The magnificent scenery of Gangshika Snow Peak is breathtaking. The snow-capped peaks sparkle in the sun, as if you are in a fairyland.
Project recommendation: Hiking is the best way to explore this beautiful mountain. You can also enjoy the beauty of colorful waterfalls along the way, which makes people linger.
Tourists can only reach about 4 kilometers. To climb up to the top of Gangshika, you need to report to the group club and ask the guide to help you climb to the top. The scenery along the way is very good. Of course, the altitude sickness will gradually worsen. The base camp government is very well built, with signals to provide electricity (but the power will be cut off at night, using solar energy)

From Zhangye, go directly to Zhuoer Mountain via Erga Highway via Sunan. The first picture is the scene of the road construction. In fact, the whole mountain collapsed. No wonder it took so long to repair.
The road is not difficult to drive, but there are falling rocks along the way. When you reach the top of the mountain, you can see the snow-capped mountains. The entire Qilian Mountains, except Zhuoer Mountain, seem to be immersed in white snow, which is quite amazing.
Finally, we went to Menyuan, took a few photos of rapeseed flowers, and then stayed in Xining.
After walking for 16 hours a day, I was really tired.
This grassland is so amazing! The flocks are scattered like clouds, the grassland is vast, the mountains are rolling in the distance, the blue sky and white clouds are matched, and the snowy mountains are looming. The wind is full of free taste, as if you are in a pure world, and the heart is washed. This is the distance you yearn for. The beauty is so poor!
