The Best Recommendation of Qinghai Tourism Strategic Route in 2020

Qinghai is a pure and beautiful purification place, where you can feel the strongest breath of life and the charm of humanistic tradition. You will witness countless miracles and vigorous vitality here, which will make people feel and inspire every moment and make your heart feel peaceful. Qinghai has many beautiful scenery and rich tourist routes. Here, I strongly recommend a wave of the best tourist routes for your reference.

Best one-day itinerary in Qinghai 1: Ta 'er Temple-Raj Mountain-Qinghai Lake-Su Shaka Town.

Day 2: Chaka Salt Lake (in the air)-Jade Lake in Dachaidan-Accommodation in Dachaidan.

The third day: Ya Dan landform (ghost town)-the most beautiful highway in no man's land-Yangguan ruins or oil town-stayed in Dunhuang.

Day 4: Mogao Grottoes-Crescent Spring in Mingsha Mountain-Dunhuang Night Market (self-driving project)-Stay in Dunhuang.

Day 5: Guazhou Service Area (eat melons and sell dried fruits for free)-Jiayuguan-Colorful Danxia in Zhangye-Stay in Zhangye.

Day 6: Qilian Mountain Grassland-Gangshika Snow Mountain-Menyuan-Return to Xining (this day is almost on the road).

Sometimes we can't understand why a person will go to a place and a scenic spot repeatedly. Obviously, he has seen it many times, but he still can't stop. But just like boiled water, it is indifferent and tasteless, but he can't quit and forget it. For Qinghai, I am like this. I love this land.

The second trip to Qinghai in 2020

The second time I went to Qinghai, many friends said that you chose the wrong time. July and August should be the best, but I chose this time. At this time, there is no green, no flowers, no ice and no snow in Qinghai, but I still love Qinghai.

I have been to Qinghai in the peak season last time, but I still want to see the changes of the four seasons in Qinghai. Some people say that there are only two seasons in Qinghai, but in my heart, every change is as magical as a season. Look at the yellow grassland all over the mountain. Even in June, it is still covered with snow. But in July, we can still catch up with the footsteps of spring and summer, revealing the true colors of the grassland.

From Zhengzhou to Xining, I brought a change of clothes, a notebook, a camera, two lenses (telephoto and wide angle), as well as various filters, cables and spare batteries. In fact, I may not need them, but I am afraid I will miss the fleeting scenery.

This trip to the Qinghai-Gansu Ring Road is an unknown trip. I signed up for a carpool spot online, and then I flew straight to Xining and lay in a hotel in Xining. I wonder who my partner will be tomorrow.

Are they easy to get along with, how old they are, whether there is a deep generation gap between us, and even whether they are lovers, will I be embarrassed alone? I think a lot, but I really think too much. Everything goes with the flow, and it will be safe when it comes.

At 8: 00 am on May 28th, 2020, the driver picked me up in a commercial car. Finally, there are five tourists from all over the country and a local driver on the bus. My teammates are Shaanxi boys in their twenties, a couple in Yantai, Shandong Province, and an aunt. They look very healthy and full of energy. They should be around 50 years old. But later, when my aunt and I were fighting for a house, I realized that she was already there.

The itinerary is planned in advance. Of course, if everyone agrees, we can change the itinerary, and the driver has become a member of our six-day accommodation, which can meet almost all our requirements. This is simply wonderful.

The first stop of the trip-Ta 'er Temple, one of the six monasteries of Tibetan Buddhism in China, is the leading scenic spot and key cultural relics protection unit in Qinghai Province, and also the most popular scenic spot in Qinghai. You may say that a temple has something to watch, but when you go in, you feel different. When I went to Ta 'er, I knew little about it, but I still felt the sacredness of religion. Since then, I have more respect for the Buddhist culture in China. When I came back, I had.

The tower of Ta 'er Temple was built in 1379. There were towers before temples, hence the name Ta 'er Temple. The tower here has undergone the transformation of various treasures. At present, the towers of Ta 'er Temple are "gilded, gilded, gilded, gilded, gilded, gilded and gilded". Its last bystander change was at 20 12, when 860 kg was used by the Fattai and other believers.

In addition to being sacred and solemn, Ta 'er Temple has a maternal instinct to reproduce and save all beings. There is a bodhi tree in Ta 'er Temple, which communicates with the outside of the courtyard. It is said that the bodhi tree in the courtyard is the mother tree, and the one outside the courtyard is the sub-tree. The connection between roots and stems represents the connection between mother and son, and the leaves of this bodhi tree have also become a symbol of auspicious things. If the fallen leaves of the bodhi tree are found, it means good luck, so every leaf here will be picked up immediately.

The first thing you see when you enter the Ta 'er Temple is the Ruyi Tower of Babel, which represents the eight merits of Buddha Sakyamuni from birth to nirvana. The people who walk around the tower clockwise are the never-ending scenery here.

Touch the pattern of the prayer wheel, and watch it keep turning, all the cycles, all the causes and effects, cycle after cycle, as if the reincarnation of previous lives were turning at this moment.

In Ta 'er Temple, I walked softly into a big hall, and the chanting was endless. I turned around and saw monks on both sides kneeling on the ground. I am afraid that the earthly breath on me will pollute the holiness here, so I gently withdrew. Ta 'er Temple is a place that can cure impetuousness, and religion is always so mysterious and sacred.

Pilgrimage is a kind of belief and a kind of sustenance. This is not Tibet, nor is it thousands of kilometers away, but there is never a shortage of devout believers. It is said that as long as they start to bow their heads, they will knock over 100 thousand, which is considered successful. Just like farmers farming, they work at sunrise and rest at sunset. What kind of religious belief is needed to do so. At this point, I respect Buddhist culture more.

Life is like a trip, you don't have to care about the destination, what you care about is the scenery along the way and the mood of watching the scenery. Therefore, the most beautiful scenery is always on the road. I left the Ta 'er Temple and crossed the 4200m Laji Mountain to the west. As far as I can see, the sky is bright and clear. Although there are no flowers, it is snowing and sunny. I have seen the beautiful scenery of Qinghai when rape blossoms are in full bloom, but it is the first time to shuttle between the snow-capped mountains, as if I were in a cold winter glacier. It is hard to imagine that this is the scenery in June, but "it" stands out.

Laji Mountain is 3800 meters

Driving in the endless mountains and rivers, only cattle and sheep are accompanied by mountains and plains, and lunch is solved in a yurt of a roadside herder. Although the wind is cold outside, the herdsmen's yurts are steaming inside, and the stove is full of fire. Here, we drink a bowl of butter tea, eat a piece of highland barley cake and serve a bowl of yogurt brewed by herdsmen themselves. The boss enthusiastically took out his homemade bazin and beef jerky for us to taste.

The 3-day-old lamb of the herdsmen successfully attracted our attention. Its color is like sika deer, very beautiful, and its hair is very soft in the hand. Because he is too young to follow the sheep up the mountain, he can only breastfeed at home, and his expression after drinking milk reveals satisfaction.

Farewell to the herdsmen, farewell to the journey of this life may only meet once, we continue to follow the snow-capped mountains, mountains and mountains, for the sake of our travel dreams.

Mount Raj is 4 188 meters above sea level, and it is also the highest mountain pass leading to Qinghai Lake. I didn't see anything special when I passed here last time, but this time it subverted my understanding of Laji Mountain. There are no delicate colors here, only winding winding mountain roads and majestic snow-capped mountains.

The main peak of Laji Mountain is 4188m.

There is a beautiful Qinghai in everyone's heart, and there is a beautiful Qinghai Lake, which is a dream like a star, sacred and quiet. I have been to many islands, seen many seas and seen many distant skies. The sky of Qinghai Lake is unprecedented in this city, and the lake is as quiet as a river.

It is said that there is a bird island on the calm surface of Qinghai Lake. Birds on the island migrate north and south with the weather, and rarely appear on the lake with many tourists. This year, things are different. There are flocks of seagulls on the lake, which float and sink with the waves of the lake and are not afraid of tourists at all. Maybe they are used to being fed by tourists.

From time to time, they fly high, heroic and spirited, with snow-capped mountains in the distance and white clouds and blue lakes nearby. Maybe they also have pursuits, but their soaring is my dream, my pursuit and my yearning for freedom.

In this busy world, from birth to old age, we are busy growing up, studying, working and taking care of our families ... how much time do we really have for ourselves?

Maybe none of this. Countless people have been pursuing freedom, envious of the life they want to leave. The freedom I want is not to leave whenever I want, but to stop whenever I want. Just like I love Qinghai, I want to stop here and stop here, but my journey never stops, and so does life. Time flies, I can't stop and I can't start again.

I am blowing the wind of Qinghai Lake, leaning against the vast snow-capped mountains, listening to the sound of seagulls, looking up at the boundless blue sky, flying with the wind, taking away my endless yearning for freedom and deep desire for an unknown journey.

Walking into Qinghai Lake, I was fascinated by the water here. The blue tide makes me relaxed and happy. The lake in the afternoon is like a wave of wheat, which is simply beautiful.
