Introduction Sandboarding at Qinghai Lake

Introduction
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Although the area around Qinghai Lake is mainly composed of lakes and grasslands, there are also desert areas, which provide unique natural conditions for sand sliding activities. While enjoying the excitement and fun brought by sand sliding, tourists can also overlook the magnificent scenery of Qinghai Lake and experience the unique landscape of desert and lake coexistence. Sand sliding allows tourists to slide down naturally from the top of a high sand hill on a skateboard. As the slope of the sand hill increases and the speed of sliding increases, tourists can feel the strong speed and passion. Here tourists can experience the fun of sand sliding of different difficulty levels on different sand dunes, which is a full experience.

The last two photos are from Qinghai Lake and Chaka Salt Lake a few years ago, where both the sky and the water were very clear. D1 It was snowy, rainy, windy, and cold, and there wasn't much scenery to see. D2 Although it was overcast, Emerald Lake was still very beautiful and not so affected by the weather. Gansu's Yellow River melons are very delicious, and I had to have one every day. It is recommended to visit Crescent Lake in the morning when it is cool and less crowded. The theme song 'Youth under the Moon' of Lively Dunhuang is very nice to listen to, and you can experience it if you have time. 💰Average cost per person: 7100; Airfare 3050; Group fee 2718 (including chartered car + hotel + attraction entrance tickets); Small transportation at attractions + in-attraction activities 732; Meal cost 600. 📌Little Tips: It's very cold when it snows in Qinghai, and when you get to Dunhuang, it's dry and hot weather at 30°C, which may cause symptoms of altitude sickness and heatstroke. The Huoxiang Zhengqi Water recommended by locals is very practical and can help with both altitude sickness and heatstroke.

Traveling in the Great Northwest

Traveling in the Great Northwest

One month has passed since my return from the Great Northwest! I hope these details can help everyone. The Great Northwest Loop can be daunting for those who aren't prepared. This article will guide you on which attractions on the Qinghai-Gansu Loop are worth your time and which to skip. My trip to the northwest has been incredibly enriching, and I've gained so much from a single journey! 1. Start your journey in Xining instead of Lanzhou to reduce travel distance (approximately 300-400 kilometers less for Lanzhou departures). 2. Opt for Hoh Xil over Erlangjian for Qinghai Lake. Erlangjian is costly and crowded, and you'll also need to take a ferry, adding extra expense. The scenery is merely average. 3. Avoid visiting Teahouse Salt Lake on days with poor weather; you'll likely see only a pond. If possible, visit the "Heavenly Mirror" instead of "Sky No. 1." Don't forget to bring shoe covers. 4. Highly recommend Dongtaiji Nair Lake for a touch of Difeng Blue and a unique romantic experience. It's stunning even on bad weather days. 5. Skip the scenic area shuttle bus at Dacai Dan Emerald Lake. You can walk there in about ten minutes, and the fewer people, the better. 6. but never stop in the middle of the road. It may look dangerous, but it's not safe due to large trucks. Take photos from the roadside instead. 7. Avoid ATVs or camels at the Water Desert. It's expansive, and the guide will rush you back, worried you'll forget the time and miss out on the fun. There are many mosquitoes in the evening. 8. Not recommended to visit Jiayuguan; just take photos from a distance. It's not cost-effective. You can capture photos at the "Son of the Earth" and "Boundless" instead. 9. The Mogao Caves tickets include the B ticket, but some do not. To see four more caves, follow the Mogao Caves on WeChat Mini Program, enter your information, and make an advance reservation. A student ID is helpful. 10. Visit Mingsha Shan in the afternoon and go barefoot. It's very comfortable. Always carry plenty of water. Don't miss the sunset at the Crescent Spring. 11. Choose between hotel and camping. Adults often want both! Do activities first, then check into the hotel. The campsite has a bus to take you back. (Camping tents have public toilets, no bathing facilities, and importantly, your phone can't be charged.) 12. Eat less on the road and keep a sense of hunger. It might help you lose weight. Don't ask me why; there are many dry toilets (integrated with nature) on the road. This trip was very enjoyable, especially the team leader, who was very caring and humorous. Our group of six had a great time chatting and laughing, and the journey was long, but we didn't feel tired at all. When traveling, you still need to meet people on the same frequency. I was very lucky this time. The northwest is very beautiful. I want to go again next time!

Is the 'Plateau Sapphire' Qinghai Lake, which is frozen, beautiful?

Is the 'Plateau Sapphire' Qinghai Lake, which is frozen, beautiful?

In the midwinter, the largest inland saltwater lake in our country, known as the 'Plateau Sapphire', Qinghai Lake is frozen and dressed in silver, becoming a unique landscape of Qinghai Lake in winter. Every year from mid-November, the temperature in the Qinghai Lake area drops below 0°C, and the temperature is the lowest in January of the following year, forming a stable ice cap on the entire lake. The average annual ice sealing period is 108-116 days, the shortest is 76 days, and the longest is 138 days. The ice thickness is generally 40 cm, and the maximum ice thickness is 90 cm. Due to the violent gale, cracks and gullies will appear on the lake surface, and the lake surface will also form a unique texture effect under the action of the wind. Looking down from the air, it is like a masterpiece of nature's earth art.
