Here is to share with you the ultra-detailed travel strategy and road map of Qinghai tourism.

The great northwest of China has always given us the impression that it is rough and heroic. The coexistence of grassland, Gobi and desert is eye-opening and refreshing.

Will invisibly make people have a special liking for the scenery in the northwest. I miss the boldness and simplicity of the northwest people and want to go into the northwest and experience the different natural scenery and human landscape here. All the way to the west, walk the streets and turn to temples, listen to the wind and see the lake, and the grassland gallops.

In your first or more trips to the northwest in the future, I hope the following strategies will be helpful to your upcoming trip.

I. Traffic Guide

Northwest China is located in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, with a vast territory and rich but scattered tourist attractions. Hotels in different places have to be changed almost every day, so it is particularly important to choose what kind of transportation mode to travel. At present, the most important modes of transportation for traveling to the northwest are bus, chartered car, carpooling and car rental. As for which mode suits you, I'll give you a general introduction.

public transportation

Advantages: the cost is relatively low.

Disadvantages: a lot of preparation work and traffic strategy are needed. Because of the lack of public transportation in the northwest, it will take a lot of time and the play experience is very poor!

Suitable for people: poor student parties or outdoor hikers.

With the team

Advantages: food, shelter, transportation and purchase are all inclusive, and the cost is relatively low.

Disadvantages: obvious, limited, not enough to play, being slaughtered.

Suitable for people: people with small budgets, the elderly.

car-pool

Advantages: When there are few people, you can carpool, (4-8 people carpool) is relatively free, and you can make new friends on the road, which is definitely your best choice.

Disadvantages: carpooling everyone's route is different, and it is difficult to make a trip with different ideas. So be sure to find a local professional carpooling company and refer to the most popular local tourist routes.

Suitable for people: traveling alone or in groups.

To charter a bus/train/coach

Advantages: send a car separately, you can customize the itinerary, stop as you go, and bid farewell to the tour. This is a popular way to travel now.

Disadvantages: Not suitable for all tourists, and the number of 1-2 is on the high side (except local tyrants).

Suitable for people: friends or family members travel together, with 3 or more people. Charter travel will be the first choice for northwest tourism.

Special reminder: chartered cars can be tailored to individual requirements.

Rent a car

Advantages: You can master your own itinerary, stop as you go, and experience the fun of driving on the plateau. There is no one else outside the group, and it is more free.

Disadvantages: Due to unfamiliarity with northwest road conditions and different driving habits, there are certain safety hazards. You need to make a complete strategy in advance before you travel. Drivers will be very tired after driving long distances.

Suitable for people: travel enthusiasts and people who want to experience the pleasure of driving on the plateau.
