From the viewing point: If you want to see the best sunrise, go to Huanhu West Road and Heima River can satisfy you, and the sunrise on Huanhu West Road is more beautiful. If you don’t have too many requirements for sunrise, Qinghai Lake 151 Scenic Area can satisfy you.

There are many houses in Chaka Town and a wide range of room prices.

Accommodation in Dachaidan

The housing supply in Dachaidan is also very tight, so be sure to book a room in advance.

6-day Qinggan tour, you need to stay in Dachaidan on the second day. Due to the tight supply of housing, many teams will adjust to Delingha for accommodation when there is no room in Dachaidan. It is not recommended that you implement this plan unless absolutely necessary.

The whole journey from Delingha to Dunhuang is more than 580 kilometers, while the distance from Dachaidan to Dunhuang is less than 400 kilometers, so there will be an extra 200 kilometers to cover on this day, which will be very tiring.

Accommodation in Dunhuang

The range of accommodation options in Dunhuang has been greatly expanded, including business standard rooms, inns, B&Bs, camping, etc. Usually, there is not much price difference between several types of accommodation.

Camping is in the desert. If you want to camp, you must inform the team's customer service staff in advance so that a time can be arranged. Camping friends can enjoy free BBQ, free outdoor movies, etc.

Accommodation in Zhangye

Tourists who order a car or stay in a hotel will default to a standard hotel room. There are many hotels here, mostly homestays.

There are two reasons for arranging accommodation in Qicai Town instead of Zhangye city:

① Zhangye Qicai Danxia Geopark is a very large scenic area, and you want to take full advantage of the perfect sunset blockbuster. It takes nearly two and a half hours to get to the scenic spot, and another hour from the scenic spot to the city. In addition, it has already taken 7 hours to travel from Dunhuang to Zhangye. It is too tiring to play all day long, so Qicai Town arranged at the entrance of the scenic spot is the most suitable of.

② In the peak season, ordinary business hotels in Zhangye city cost 180-200 yuan/room, while in the small town at the door, beds are 50-60 yuan/room, and standard rooms are about 120 yuan/room, and the entrance There are also many restaurants, so meals and accommodation can be effectively solved.

Accommodation in Delingha

The accommodation in Delingha mentioned here is the Delingha on the 8-day tour. Again, because the 6-day tour will go to Dunhuang the next day, it is too far to stay in Delingha the day before, so it is highly not recommended!

The route for the second day of the 8-day tour is "Black Horse River-Delingha" , this route of course requires you to stay in Delingha.

Delingha has many housing options, ranging from ordinary hotels to star hotels, and many of the hotels are very new. In terms of price, business hotels usually cost 280-300 yuan, and four-star hotels cost 380-420 yuan.

Accommodation in Qilian County

Qilian County is a perfect "Little Switzerland of the East" with beautiful scenery. There are many hotels in Qilian, ranging from business hotels to star hotels.

Do you think it is easier to buy a house in Qilian? In fact, no, there are many houses, but there are also so many people. Even people from Qinghai will go to Qilian to escape the summer heat. During the peak season, everyone must try to book a room in advance.

Qilian also has a particularly big advantage. There are many homestays here. And most of them are Hui people. Many B&Bs are run by fellow Hui people. Staying in B&Bs can give you an in-depth understanding of Hui food and culture.

Price: During the peak season from July to August, the price of a four-star hotel is about 360-380 yuan. From April to June, September, and October (except Golden Week), it costs about 160 yuan. In this case, the hotel is also very good. Accommodation in Xining

When everyone books a trip, even if it is a car accommodation Packages do not include accommodation in Xining. So you have to book it yourself. Prices in Xining vary greatly, and the price of a standard room in a budget hotel is about 200-300 yuan.

About accommodation.

On the Qinggan Loop, another thing we need to consider is accommodation. In previous trips, accommodation was not something we particularly worried about, but this time, it refreshed our understanding. The accommodation conditions in Qinghai are not very good. The most troublesome thing is that the accommodation capacity in some places is very low during the peak season, so that you have to pay much higher than the normal price to stay in a small hotel-level room. Rooms can be booked. The most representative one is Dachaidan. There are many places to visit around it, but most of them are deserted for dozens of kilometers. Dachaidan has become the only place to stay, which makes the whole town overwhelmed. Therefore, if you choose to come to Qinghai during the peak season, you must plan your accommodation in advance, otherwise it will become a major headache during the trip.
