Qinghai Tibetan Culture Museum. I went to see Tangka first. I was really shocked. It was too long and too long. The great work of 400 painters, there are many familiar gods I have seen in the caves! Tibetan culture is vast and profound. I really knew too little before, but I was really amazed by the exhibition hall of life and faith in the Beiguan. It is very good to show how Tibetans face life and death, the death of the elderly, funerals, etc. The most short film is also very good. I really learned a lot of the past. I have already been now. I am now. I build the future I we are hostages of our own flesh. We must take care of our lives and our bodies from the heart and body. Death is everyone's task to accept ourselves, understand that life, old illness and death are the natural laws of life, and correctly understand the value of our lives.
Very shocking, you must go to Xining, not only can you see the grand artistic painting, but also can understand Tibetan culture from multiple angles, convenient parking, and orderly management. Culture and creativity are also good ～

The Ta'er Temple in June is accompanied by the poisonous sun and tourists. The famous Ta'er Temple, the size of the Golden Palace, is full of shoulder-to-shoulder, difficult to walk. The temple of Tibetan Buddhism can no longer be described as just magnificent, but the pile of gold... The entire temple is not large or small, basically on the flat ground, unlike the temples in the south of the Yangtze River, which are built on the mountain. Particularly surprising is the fact that the monk houses on both sides are white glass warm rooms in modern style buildings.
The first stop of the Northwest Great Ring Line: Xining Ta'er Temple, feel Tibetan culture, encounter net red, the temple is not allowed to take pictures, only can be photographed outside, must be respected, you can ask a commentator in the visitor center

At night, I can see the super beautiful starry sky in the Yellow River Courtyard in Shapotou Scenic Area. I originally went to the sandboarding field to see the stars. As a result, I only looked at the stars and forgot to take pictures. I walked to the parking lot at the entrance of the small courtyard and looked up. I can see a very beautiful scenery, not less than other places. The staff are very enthusiastic, the room is cleaned very clean, the view in the courtyard is also very good, sitting by the Yellow River and watching the sheepskin dumplings float too healing!
Shapotou Scenic Area feels very good, sandboarding is very fun, very exciting, that is, don't pull too much brakes, the staff service attitude is good, the explanation is very patient, it is recommended!

There are not many tourists in the off-season. The experience is good, and the landform features are beautiful. The supporting facilities are relatively complete, and there is an elevator to the top, which is suitable for the elderly and children. There are also many entertainment facilities, which are very interesting. It is suitable to spend most of the day to play slowly.
This time I went to Xining first, because of the high reaction, I didn't go to Qinghai Lake and went directly to Lanzhou. I visited the Gansu Provincial Museum the afternoon before, and slept late the next day. I directly booked a car for 96 yuan to the ink Danxia Scenic Area. The driver was very good. I also said that if I wanted to save money, I would take the bus when I came back. Once you arrive at the scenic spot, the scenic service is very warm and thoughtful. It is recommended that you do not walk. It is too tired, especially the weather is hot and there is basically no vegetation to block the shade. We chose in-depth tours. Of course, if there is a teacher's certificate, military certificate, etc., you can also discount. The in-depth tour experience is excellent, the service is warm and thoughtful, and the price is very high.

For tourists: a free attraction! The photo is very popular, but the scale is not large! If you walk around and see it, you can get it within 30 minutes. Take your mother to take a pat. It takes about an hour in total. There are a lot of people, because it is really special. It seems that there is a closing time, you have to check it in advance. Parking is not convenient, because it is on the side of the road in the city. There are mosques in the north and west, you can choose one you like to go to a feeling!
Hand-pulled mutton: a traditional Qinghai delicacy, made from yaks or Tibetan sheep, stewed in clear water, the meat is tender, not smelly or greasy, dipped in pepper salt or garlic paste, and paired with brick tea, the taste is excellent.
• Stir-fried skin: thicker yellow skin than cold skin, topped with chili oil, mustard sauce and other condiments, sour and spicy appetizing, a popular snack, can be paired with sweet embryos.
• Qinghai old yogurt: made from yak milk, thick enough to stand up a spoon, with golden milk skin on the surface, sweet and sour, and richer taste with honey.
Folk culture
• Tibetan culture: Qinghai is one of the Tibetan settlements, with a unique Tibetan Buddhist culture, such as the religious rituals of the Ta'er Temple, the Tibetan customs of turning the sutra, and the burning of mulberry, as well as exquisite thangka paintings, Tibetan carpet weaving and other traditional skills.
• Tu culture: The Tu people have their own language, costumes, songs and dances, and traditional festivals, such as the "Naton Festival", during which there are lively Nuo dance performances, horse racing and other activities.
Clean energy industry landscape
• Gonghe County Photovoltaic Base: Gonghe County, Hainan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, has one of the world's largest photovoltaic bases. Large tracts of blue photovoltaic panels shine brightly in the desert, forming a spectacular industrial landscape, and also realizing the ecological model of "generating electricity on the panels and herding sheep under the panels".

Qinghai Lake is very weather-dependent. It's not very nice on cloudy days, but the scenic area really doesn't have much service. This is my second time here. The first time it was sunny, and you can ride around the lake. Now a good lake is enclosed and charged piece by piece. It's ugly.
This small group of four had a great experience!
- Cost-effective: reasonable itinerary, beautiful scenery, and very cost-effective per person.
- Comfortable itinerary: moderate time rhythm, no rush, check in multiple highlights.
- Awesome driver: Master Li's service is considerate, his driving skills are stable, the car is clean and tidy, and I feel safe throughout the whole journey~
I want to organize such a small group to travel next time! 😊

It's pretty good. The best thing to do is to go on an in-depth tour. If you want to take photos on the way, you only need to go to various viewing platforms. If you want to go on an in-depth tour, you have to go hiking or riding a horse around.

Gansu Provincial Museum is located in Qilihe District, Lanzhou City. It houses many precious cultural relics and treasures. It ranks among the top museums in China in terms of brilliance and richness. It is one of the landmark buildings in Lanzhou City. Since Gansu is located on the Silk Road and is also the junction of the Han and Tibetan regions, a large number of cultural relics reflecting the culture of the Western Regions, the Central Plains, and the Tibetan areas have been unearthed and displayed, making the cultural relics in the museum colorful and unique, and it is worth visiting. The bronze statue of a horse stepping on a flying swallow and the bricks with pictures of postmen in the museum are famous and precious national treasures. You must not miss them when you visit here.
Time of the museum: February 12, 1956, the Northwest People's Science Museum was renamed the Gansu Provincial Museum. In 1958, the Gansu Provincial Museum and the Gansu Provincial Cultural Relics Administration Committee merged to move into the new museum. In 1999, the exhibition building was demolished and rebuilt with investment of 1.5 billion yuan. On December 26, 2006, the reconstruction was completed. On June 11, 2022, the expansion project officially began construction.

The wind blows through the wind, and the wind blows. If you like romance, the northwest is not unborn. The first stop of the Qinggan Dahuan Line is Sun Moon Mountain. It is OK. The scenic spot is still beautiful. You can hug the sheep. I feel that there is a chance to wind the wind blows. If you like romance, The first stop of the Qinggan Dahuan Line is Sun Moon Mountain. It is impossible to describe the shock that the naked eye can see in language. At 4,000 meters above sea level, walking under the colorful auspicious wind horse, listening to the sound of the wind blowing by the meridian, it is too shocking! 📍 Address: Qinghai Wuyuan Riyue Mountain Scenic Area 🎫 Tickets: Ticket 54🌿 Climate: The temperature difference between morning and evening in spring is large, and a thick coat is required. The plateau area must pay attention to keeping warm. Transportation: self-driving or chartered to Riyue Mountain. Like I like to take pictures, I suggest to group chartered cars. The price is very high. Don't worry about road conditions, concentrate on taking pictures and punching in
The official order is 54, Trip.com order is 50, you can order in Trip.com . There will be a QR code, swipe the QR code before entering, you can enter the scenic spot. The scenic spot is still possible, holding the lamb for 20 to 30 yuan, the other is the blessing promenade, and there is a landmark check-in point in Riyueshan, you can go.

Xining Wildlife Park, this plateau "ark" standing at an altitude of 2,295 meters, is not only the only large-scale integrated wildlife park on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, but also a sanctuary for rare species worldwide. It is amazing with the resources of "double king bomb": the only desert cat on display in the world, the only artificial breeding population of snow leopards, rabbits, alpine lizards in the country, and the only 3 artificial snow leopards and 1 artificial rabbit lizards in the country live here, so that tourists can see the true face of the snow mountain king. The pavilion design abandons domestication performance, relying on the terrain of the Danan Mountain ditch, creating three ecological exhibition areas of the wild animal free-range area, the herbivorous animal area and the Bai Bird Garden. The snow leopard is jumping on the rock wall, the black-necked crane is snorkeling on the water, and the desert cat is hidden in the shrubs. Wild life is free to stretch in the bionic environment. The parking environment is terrible.
1. Panda Hall (single ticket sales) 2. The beast area arrived at the morning meal time. The beast had its own open large yard. Humans walked over the yard and saw the dog's dog wolf pack and the big-headed lion. The tiger had not come out because he went too early. (But it seems to roar in the house) 3. The herbivorous area has some herbivores unique to the plateau, such as Tibetan wild donkeys, white-lipped deer, rock sheep, etc., many alpacas and various deer (there is an albino sika deer!) Sheep, camel, key point: walk down the mountain from this area, On the right hand side, you will pass the rabbit and desert cat first, and then arrive at the snow leopard area! 4. Cat pavilion, leopard pavilion = top flow area ◆ rabbits only saw the sage Sanlang (dundun), it is completely a fat sea ginseng, although not as big as my cat, this is very smooth, not stuck at all! Desert Cat: I like you! The desert prince can squint glass, the other only turned the belly snow leopard on the ground, and the leopard hall arrived at around 9:30. The big cats are super active and open 360 degrees without dead ends~ The dumpling garden baby, buried under the human eye ceremony to see two snow leopards (should be Lingxia and Lingshuang), it is so handsome, Long tail, smooth bones, oily smooth skin
