    "It’s too cold, the wind is particularly strong, but the scenery is beautiful and worth it. To the small fire in the scenic spot to the peninsula, the scenery is more beautiful. Qinghai Lake and the snow-capped mountains are correspondingly matched. It’s picturesque. You can’t take shocking pictures on your mobile phone. It’s really a special feature in each season."
