Travel at any time

According to this picture, my sister and I visited the Great Ring Road in western Gansu, Qinghai, with a total distance of 2,800 kilometers.

June 30th. We started from Nanning airport. Go to Lanzhou Zhongchuan Airport. Because of the epidemic, air tickets are cheaper these days. The air ticket from Nanning to Lanzhou is only 180 yuan. Plus the fuel surcharge, it's 230 yuan. So my sister and I went on a trip. Go to the north for the summer, and you can also eat local food. The plane arrived at Zhongchuan Airport on time at 1 1:45. After getting off the plane, my colleague Xiao Hu, her husband's classmate, drove to the airport to meet us. This is our first visit to Lanzhou. I am not familiar with the situation there. They drove to pick us up. Let's go to a restaurant for dinner.

Because I don't know how long it will take to get to the west station. At that time, we saw a lot of train tickets from Lanzhou West Railway Station to Xining, which ran every half hour. Friends also said that it was too late to buy tickets there, so we didn't buy tickets online in time. Everyone got together to eat and talk until the meal was over. It's already noon 14.00, and my friend sent it to Lanzhou West Railway Station. Just 15. 10, I want to buy the earliest flight to Xining. Go to the window to buy tickets. The earliest train is only 19:35. Alas, here we are 15. 10. We just waited at Lanzhou West Railway Station for four hours. I got on the bullet train to Xining. This tells us to be prepared in advance anyway. The bullet train bound for Xining finally left. Lanzhou and Xining are only over 200 kilometers. However, this bullet train runs very slowly. It is said that it took a lot of time and talents to build this road at that time. Because of the high altitude, it doesn't run fast, even if the speed is 100 km. Along the way, the head of our newspaper group kept calling and asked where? When will we arrive in Xining? According to the original plan, we should arrive in Xining at 18.00, but in fact we arrived in Xining at 22.00 in the evening. Fortunately, someone picked us up and arranged accommodation. Everything is arranged, it's over 23.30, and I have to leave early tomorrow.

On July 1 day, a driver contacted us early. We checked out after breakfast and saw our car as soon as we got out of the hotel.

How cool! This is the car that travels with us. We asked the driver who the other two were. The driver said he would come down in a minute, but he didn't know what it was. After waiting for a while, two little lovers came down, a small group of them and us. The driver is fine. Let's take everything and help each of us with our luggage. After packing everything, we set off. Today's itinerary: Xining? Taer Temple-Laji Mountain-Sun Moon Mountain-Qinghai Lake Living Tea Card.

The weather in Xining is like a child's face. You change when you say it. When we set out, my sister and I took beautiful photos in skirts. But just out of Xining city, it began to rain lightly, and the temperature dropped to only 8 degrees. We sat in the car and enjoyed the scenery along the way. When we got off the bus along the winding path and came to Laji Mountain, we felt so cold. Fortunately, we brought down jackets and forgot whether they were good-looking or not. We are talking about dressing warmly.

"Laji Mountain" is a branch of Qilian Mountain, because its uplift is like a pulled ridge, so it is called "Laji Mountain". Mount Raj is 3820 meters above sea level, which runs across the south of Xining and is the dividing line between the Loess Plateau and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The name of this mountain is transliteration in Tibetan, which translates into Chinese as "the place where eagles can't fly". "From Laki Mountain to Sun Moon Mountain, it is a rolling grassland. Sometimes I see yaks, sometimes I see sheep. It's really a wild day when the wind blows across the grassland to see cattle and sheep.

Master Ma, the driver, told us that this road is the only way for Wang Zhaojun to enter Tibet. Considering the conditions at that time, this road is really not easy to walk! It had cleared up when we arrived at Qinghai Lake at noon, and we were lucky. Otherwise, I can't see anything clearly at Qinghai Lake, which is quite disappointing. Qinghai Lake, also known as "Cuowumbu", which means "blue sea" in Tibetan, is located in the Qinghai Lake Basin in the northwest of Qinghai Province. It is not only the largest inland lake in China, but also the largest saltwater lake in China. It is formed by the fault subsidence between Datong Mountain, Sun Moon Mountain and Nanshan Mountain in Qinghai.

What's the beauty of Qinghai Lake? Water and the sky are the same! Of course, we also took many beautiful photos. If the weather is clearer, the white clouds in the blue sky will be more perfect. Qinghai Lake is not only beautiful in water, but also unwilling to be lonely in rape blossoms!

Looking around, rape flowers are so charming in the sun. It is really very pleasant for us to be close to nature and blend in with the sea of flowers. In the afternoon, we left Qinghai Lake and flew away in the direction of tea card. 19.00 stayed in Chaka Town. Because it is a small town, the accommodation conditions are not very good and the food is expensive, so I didn't take pictures and send pictures. I wanted to sort out the photos at night, but I might be a little rebellious and have a headache, so I went to bed early. (To be continued)
