What scenic spots are there along the Qinghai-Tibet Railway?

There is no scenery at all for us plateau people.

But for mainland tourists-it is no exaggeration to say that the eyes are full of scenery!

The world-famous Qinghai-Tibet Railway will be put into trial operation on July 1 day. Our dream of half a century has finally come true today. By train to the roof of the world, this pure land of China people will be in line with the world. As the "last pure land" in China and even the world, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is rich in tourism resources, and it is also a very desirable tourist destination for Chinese and foreign tourists. So what are the beautiful scenery along the Qinghai-Tibet Railway? Let's get on the tourist train for you first, and let's get a sneak peek at the scenery of Qinghai-Tibet.

Qinghai Lake-the largest inland lake in China.

Take the Qinghai-Tibet train, don't miss Qinghai Lake, which is only100km away from Xining. Qinghai Lake is the largest inland lake and the largest saltwater lake in China, with an existing area of about 4,400 kilometers. As a national nature reserve, there are 37 kinds of national first-and second-class wild protected animals in Qinghai Lake Basin and its surrounding areas, such as Przewalski's gazelle, snow leopard, Tibetan wild donkey, black-necked crane and jade belt sea eagle. The first stop of the beautiful scenery along the Qinghai-Tibet Railway is the rippling Qinghai Lake.

Qinghai Lake is located in the northeast of Qinghai Plateau, with vast territory, vast grassland, numerous rivers, abundant aquatic plants and quiet environment. The lake is surrounded by four majestic mountains: the majestic Datong Mountain in the north, the majestic Sun and Moon Mountain in the east, the winding Nanshan Mountain in Qinghai in the south and the majestic Rubber Mountain in the west. These four mountains, seas and Ba Dou are between 3,600 meters and 5,000 meters. Looking around, it is like four high natural barriers, closely surrounding Qinghai Lake. From the foot of the mountain to the lake, there is an endless, flat and boundless grassland, and Qinghai Lake, with its vast smoke and blue waves, is like a huge jade plate embedded between mountains and grasslands, forming a magnificent and beautiful scenery in which mountains, lakes and grasslands set each other off.

Hoh Xil-the largest no-man's land in China

We will never forget the shock that the western adventure film Hoh Xil brought to people when it was broadcast at home and abroad. In addition to the poor Tibetan antelope, there are amazing natural scenery in Hoh Xil. The opening of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway has fulfilled our dreams and brought us into close contact with Hoh Xil.

Hoh Xil, located in the hinterland of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, has Kunlun Snow Mountain in the north and Tanggula Mountain in the south, with an average elevation of more than 4,500 meters. The Mongolian language in Hoh Xil means "blue mountain", also called "beautiful girl".

Hoh Xil has a unique natural landscape, criss-crossing rivers and dotted lakes. Among them, there are more than 100 lakes with an area of over square kilometers. Modern glaciers are widely distributed here, covering an area of 1800 square kilometers. Snow mountains, canyons, stone forests, stone rings, "salt flowers" beside salt lakes and steaming boiling springs under glaciers constitute a unique snow scene.

Hoh Xil is also known as the "animal kingdom" on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and its animal resources are characterized by large population and quantity. There are Tibetan antelope, wild yak, Tibetan wild donkey, Tibetan gazelle, snow leopard, brown bear and other rare wild animals on the plateau. At the same time, under the blue sky and white clouds, birds such as golden eagles, black-necked cranes and swans are flying, and fish such as red-bellied lobsters are swimming in the lake. These are all unique species in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Nowadays, when tourists drive along the Qinghai-Tibet Highway through Hoh Xil, they will feast their eyes on the rare wild animals on the plateau, such as Tibetan antelope, Tibetan gazelle and Tibetan wild donkey, which move freely on both sides of the highway. After July 1, visitors who enter Tibet by the passenger train of Qinghai-Tibet Railway can also enjoy the scenery of Hoh Xil and the light, handsome and flying Tibetan antelope in the "life forbidden zone" from the viewing platform set in the car or along the railway.

Namco-the highest saltwater lake in the world

Namco, which means "Tianhu" in Tibetan, is 47 18 meters above sea level. It is the highest saltwater lake in the world and a holy place of Tibetan Buddhism. Located in Dangxiong County, Lhasa City, it is more than 30 kilometers away from Dangxiong County, and it takes about an hour to drive.

The northern part of Namco is close to the continuous plateau hills, and the southeastern part is the main peak of Nyainqentanglha Mountain, with an altitude of 765,438+065,438+0 meters. The endless grassland is spread around the lake. Her lake is like a glittering jewel, embedded in the grassland. Here, you can not only enjoy the beautiful lakes and the vast grasslands in northern Tibet, but also see wild animals such as spotted geese, wild yaks, brown bears, snow leopards and Tibetan antelopes.

There are five islands in the lake, the largest of which are many islands with an area of 1.2 square kilometers. Buddhists say they are the embodiment of Five Dhyani Buddhas. Anyone who goes to Shenhu to worship Buddha will pay homage. In addition, there are five peninsulas extending into the water from different directions, the largest of which is Tashi Peninsula. This is also a favorite place for travelers. There are many grotesque caves on the island, with many stone pillars, strange peaks and rocks, rugged, grotesque and colorful. It takes about two hours to circle the island clockwise. If you turn to the island clockwise, you can also see the Mani wall with a length of more than 100 meters near the hotel.

Ticket price: There will be a toll booth on the way, 20 yuan per person, half price for Tashi.

Travel tip: You'd better get used to it for 3-5 days in Lhasa, otherwise don't go to Namco. Many tourists don't pay enough attention to the rapidly rising altitude 1 100 meters, and they will basically have altitude sickness after spending a night by the lake.

Tuotuo River-the End of the Yangtze River

It is as high as 4700 meters above sea level and is named after Tuotuo, the source of the Yangtze River. It is the place where the Qinghai-Tibet railway and highway have the most concentrated population along the way since Golmud. Although the source of the Yangtze River flows through here for thousands of miles, droughts and sandstorms continue almost all year round. But it still becomes the most lively post station and the most important transportation distribution center on the Qinghai-Tibet line.

Tuotuo River, also known as Toto River, originated from Jianggendi Glacier in the southwest of Gladin, the main peak of Tanggula, and the end of the glacier is nearly 5500 meters above sea level. There are huge snow mountains here. There are 20 snow peaks above 6000 meters above sea level, and the permanent snow line is as high as 5800 meters. There are 40 modern glaciers and many ice buckets on the peak.

The best tourist season of Tuotuo River is from July to August, and it begins to get cold in late August. The ultraviolet rays here are very strong, so you should pay attention to sun protection here to avoid sunburn.

Tanggula, the highest point on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

Tanggula Pass is the natural dividing line of Qinghai-Tibet, with an altitude of 523 1 m, which is the highest point of Qinghai-Tibet Railway. Gladin, the main peak of Tanggula Mountain, is more than 6000 meters above sea level. Rivers condense into crystal glaciers, and waves become silent ice sculptures. They used to roar and wreak havoc, and the running river slept quietly. Snow-capped peaks in the distance, white clouds that can be lifted in the sky and the gentle and gorgeous sunset on the plateau play together, creating a picture full of temptation and charm. There are snow-capped mountains, green water and sheep-the typical scenery of Qinghai-Tibet Highway.

Lhasa, the end of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

Lhasa, the capital of Tibet, is a mysterious and desirable place. Although the altitude is surprisingly high, it still attracts countless people to worship here. Whether you are a believer or not, you will want to go to worship before coming to Potala Palace. Lhasa is famous for its beautiful scenery, long history, splendid culture, unique customs, numerous places of interest and strong religious color. When you come here, you will feel that the sky is so blue, the environment is so quiet and people are so simple. It deserves to be called "the last piece of pure land" in the world. The trip to Lhasa is a perfect ending for your trip to Qinghai-Tibet.
