Therefore, this route is also a more complete Great Ring Road of the Silk Road.

How to choose a place to stay when traveling? This is the most troublesome and important problem. You can eat hungry, but if you don't arrange accommodation in advance, you will obviously feel insecure, as most people in China do. The words of the donkey friends can be ignored because they have all set up tents.

1. Xining accommodation

Xining is the starting point of tourism in Qinghai and Northwest China. However, the tourist conditions here in Xining are limited, there are not many special campsites such as inns and homestays, and there are quite a few places to stay, so there is no need to book in advance. Just like ordinary cities, you can use the mobile APP to book hotels directly. Don't think too much or crowd over there.

2. Accommodation in Qinghai Lake

A. sightseeing is the first choice

Besides the beautiful scenery of plateau lakes, the most famous thing in Qinghai Lake is the sunrise in the morning. Because watching the sunrise requires living near the best scenic spots in advance. It is recommended to choose to live in Heima River or West Lake Road. However, in the tourist season, the accommodation price of Heima River is relatively high, and the price of ordinary standard rooms is between 380-700, so you need to book in advance. The price of Huanhu West Road is lower, but there will be a turn-back if you want to take the Qinggan Great Ring Road.

B. Price priority

Tourists with tight budget or considering saving money can choose to live in Jiangxi ditch, which is much cheaper than Heima River and only half an hour's drive from Heima River. If you want to save money to watch the sunrise, you need to get up early to reach the Heima River.

C. Tourist recommendation

No matter how many days you stay in the northwest, Chaka Salt Lake is definitely one of the must-see places. The accommodation in Heima River is expensive and the conditions are poor, so Jiangxi Ditch and Erlangjian will be in a hurry. That tea town will definitely be an excellent accommodation choice. In the past two years, the number of tourists in Chaka Salt Lake has surged, and the corresponding tourist packages have also developed rapidly. Why not stay and shoot a group of the most beautiful starry sky at night while eating?

3. Dachaidan Accommodation

Dachaidan is the camp for the second day of the regular Qinggan Great Ring Road. Because it is located in a remote no-man's land, the housing is limited and the price is very high. Visitors are advised not to have too high requirements for accommodation here. If you want to live here, you must remember to book a room online in advance!

Because of the popularity of northwest tourism, Dachaidan is often hard to find a room. If you don't book a room in advance, you can adjust to Delingha. Accommodation conditions are good and the price is appropriate.

4. Dunhuang accommodation

Passing through Dachaidan and no-man's land, you will arrive at Dunhuang, a famous cultural city in Gansu, and the accommodation options will be greatly increased. Business hotels, B&B hotels and camping in the desert are all acceptable. Visitors can choose according to their own wishes. Moreover, the tourist facilities in Dunhuang are relatively perfect and there are plenty of houses, so everyone can enjoy the fatigue of the first two days here.

5. Jiayuguan accommodation

There are not many special accommodations in Jiayuguan, and chain hotels are all over the streets. Here, everyone should think too much and save for the next beautiful scenery.

6. Zhangye Accommodation

A. Zhangye City

Zhangye is centered on the Drum Tower and divided into four streets in the southeast and northwest, plus a ring road. Hotels are mainly concentrated near the Drum Tower in downtown areas, and there are still many accommodation options. There are guest houses in Standard Room 200-400 yuan, South Street and North Street of Gulou during the tourist season. Just walk along the street and you will find it cheaper. There are many people near the bus station and railway station, so it is safe to go out. I suggest you try not to stay. In addition, there are no youth hostels in Zhangye City.

B. Qicai Town

According to the local people, Qicai Town was built on the basis of Qicai Danxia, which is far from the urban area and there is nothing interesting in the local area. However, the accommodation is quite distinctive, mainly farmhouse music.

7. Qilian accommodation

As the favorite summer resort of Qinghai locals, Qilian County has accommodation conditions that can meet almost everyone's needs. Business hotels and family hotels are popular choices. Qilian is a gathering place for Tibetans and Hui people. Family hotels are popular with tourists because of their high quality, low price and practicality. Especially for ethnic minority residents, staying at home can better understand the unique local customs. You can appreciate the profound cultural connotation of the ancient city in the west.

How to dress feels beautiful, and I hope I am beautiful! Taking photos recorded the journey and recorded my unique time. What should I wear to travel to the northwest? Travel shoes, wrong. Sweater, no. A greasy face, no. Cool clothes will improve this situation. The following little ants will teach you how to put on beautiful clothes, dress up beautifully and make yourself have a different journey.

1. Clown's Choice-Long White Dress

White is the most versatile color. Whether it's a small town or a blue sky, when you want to be a sweet little princess, a pure school flower and an affectionate proprietress, a white skirt can definitely hold! Don't pick the scene! Do not pick temperament! Don't pick the season! The most important thing is to bring your own reflector! The long skirt pulls up the waist for a second, and the legs are under the chest!

Best photography locations: Qinghai Lake, Grassland, Chaka Salt Lake and Colorful Danxia.

2. Enthusiasm-Bright Red

Both men and women, old and young, give people a feeling of youthful vitality and enthusiasm. Most importantly, red is idle and white is white, unless you are really hopeless black.

Best photography location: Chaka Salt Lake, Grassland, Gobi and Desert.

3. Desert Gobi-Mysterious Black System

I always thought that the background of yellow sand would be very suitable for white, but when I arrived in the desert, I found that white would be a bit eye-catching and exposed too high. Therefore, it is finally recommended to wear black, red and national classical costumes in the desert.

Best photography location: Gobi and desert

4. Exotic customs-National Clothing Department

What is Chinese style? It is the most distinctive ethnic group in China, with complex color patterns, exquisite embroidery elements and attractive details. It is fashion and perfection that others don't have. In the northwest, the national wind is definitely the most common, but it is also the most versatile choice.

Best shooting location: almost omnipotent

5. Universal Accessories-Joker shawl

Bright shawls bloom in the sunshine of the grassland, and the accessories of straw hats and ethnic styles are completely beautiful and brilliant girls on the grassland. If you change the shawl into a cool color, the national style will be slightly reduced, but it will become full of literary style. The shawl mainly promotes the national style.

PS: Braiding has also contributed a lot to this style. Lovely people who like to fiddle with their hair styles can try to braid their hair on the grassland, and they may have unexpected joy.

6. Sunshade essential-hat+sunscreen clothing+ever-changing towel

Sunlight at high altitude has strong ultraviolet rays. Try to prepare thin long skirts and trousers, long-sleeved T-shirts or shirts to prevent sunburn.

It is best to coat a layer of sunscreen on the outside of short sleeves. If you are indoors, it will be hot and cold, which is a good match.

Sun hat, ever-changing towel, thin shawl silk scarf, good-looking and 360-degree physical sun protection, no dead ends. The wide straw hat is dotted with blue ribbons and small flowers. No matter at the seaside or in the desert, a hat brings a full festive atmosphere!
