The itinerary is as follows⬇️ D1: Xining—Riyue Mountain—Qinghai Lake—Chaka Salt Lake—Chaka (Overnight) D2: Chaka—Xiaochaidan Lake—Charhan Salt Lake—Dachaidan (Overnight) D3: Dachaidan—Highway 315 U-shaped Road—Dongtai Jinel Lake—Water Yadan—Dachaidan (Overnight) D4: Emerald Lake—Dunhuang (Overnight) D5: Dunhuang—Mogao Caves—Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Moon Spring—Free time at Shazhou Night Market—Dunhuang City (Overnight) D6: Dunhuang—Zhangye Danxia Landform—Zhangye City (Overnight) D7: Zhangye—Biandukou—Qilian Grassland—View Gangshika Snow Peak from afar—Menyuan rapeseed flowers (end of July)—End in Xining.

Most importantly, try to visit during the off-season!
