The traveler has no boundaries, only for the front: Qinghai love

If time can be used for wandering, then the soul should be used for singing.

When planning the travel plan for the second year at the end of p>217, Qinghai was already listed as the most wanted place among the cities in the northwest. For the best time to play in the local area, it is July, August and September in summer, and tickets will be booked in May and June (except for the tour group that includes the transportation fee to and from Xining).

At present, there is no direct train from Shanghai to Xining. The train Z4 from Shanghai to Urumqi is a better choice, but the ticket for this train is quite difficult to buy. Generally, there is a reservation period of about 25 days before the official start of ticket sales. I checked the ultra-fast option, and this time I was lucky enough to grab a berth and sleep for one night and then read a book for one day.

get on the bus from Wuxi Station, and Z4 will pass through Changzhou, Nanjing, Bengbu, Xuzhou, Zhengzhou, Luoyang, Xi 'an, Baoji, Tianshui and Lanzhou along the way, and arrive at Xining Station.

Life is a combination of countless unknowns. We don't know what tomorrow will be like, and we never know what unexpected things we need to face tomorrow. Living with your heart and going to distant places that you have never touched may be a challenge, but it is also the embodiment of the original life. Be content with the status quo and plan everything well, so that life may be more stable, and how much desire is hidden in it, perhaps only the heart can know.

On the first day, I originally planned to travel from Xining to Chaka Salt Lake. When I arrived there, my trip was changed to Xining to Qinghai Lake, and then to Chaka. The journey was 36 kilometers, with expressway and national highway.

It is said that the weather in Qinghai, the doll's face and the tour guide need to improvise. Of course, it is inseparable from the understanding and cooperation of the team members. After all, there are quite a few people who have been to these two scenic spots and encountered rain.

The green hills are continuous all the way, and Tibetan sheep and yaks are scattered among them.

Looking at Qinghai Lake from the bus, yellow, green and blue are connected.

The best way to travel in Qinghai Lake is cycling. A quick glance at it will not realize the magnificent beauty of Qinghai Lake. For more than ten kilometers, it basically does not turn, which makes you feel that you are directly connected to the "heavenly road" in the sky. Only by riding and hiking will you have the feeling that "in fact, some twists and turns on the road of life are still better".

The car guide arranged the riding experience by the lake intimately. You need to pay 5 yuan to 1 yuan to ride from the rape field of the villagers to the lake. You can take photos of rape flowers and take photos in the flower field. You can ride all the way along the flower field to the lake in Qinghai.

in close contact with the lake, the average water temperature is only about 9 degrees.

There will be some local people selling handicrafts by the lake, and some will take photos with horses and yaks for you, but because they are not tourist attractions, they are all very kind and will not buy or sell them by force.

As the altitude rises all the way from Xining to Sun Moon Mountain, it is best for friends who are worried about high reaction to start taking rhodiola at least one week before departure. It is basically useless to eat it in the local area. It is best to carry small oxygen bottles in Xining, and the price of one can is about 35. The farther from Xining to the back, the more expensive it is. Cold medicine is necessary. Don't run at high altitude, it's easy to get dizzy. Friends who have exercise and fitness habits should rest more than a week before departure to reduce their body's demand for oxygen.

It's about five o'clock in the afternoon when we arrive at Chaka Salt Lake. Qinghai has a high degree of dimension, and it's nearly nine o'clock in the evening when it really gets dark, so nearly three hours' play time is more than enough.

What I remember most is that it is red inside and outside the lake, and tourists bring their own businesses to sell it. There is always a shawl dress that suits you.

We joked that the tea card was damaged by us, but the main responsibility was this old ship with mottled iron tracks. It was too metallic, and the lake was full of salt, so we must bring sandals next time.

It's still a hurry to visit two scenic spots in one day. Half of the time is taken by car, and you should bring drinking water and food. Both lunch and dinner are team meals, which are usually quick and simple cooking. It's difficult to be particularly appetizing, and it's ok to be full.

the first day of staying in a tea card.

The next day's trip from Chaka to Jinyintan to Zhuo'er Mountain, the whole journey is more than 4 kilometers. Originally, it was planned to take the expressway and the national highway. On the way, there was a landslide due to heavy rain, and the county road was changed, with a total driving time of more than 6 hours.

every turn is extremely difficult, and I dare not fall asleep at all.

It's almost lunchtime when we arrive at Jinyintan, the base of Atomic City, and it's worth seeing.

Jin Tan is full of small yellow flowers, and the silver beach is full of small white flowers.

There are many local Sichuan restaurants in Qinghai, and we continue to stir-fry eight bowls for lunch, all of which are easy to store and cook, such as potatoes, cabbage, cauliflower, vermicelli, fungus, zucchini, tomatoes and seaweed soup.

it seems that it doesn't matter what you eat when you come out to play and catch up with the scenic spots, as long as you are not hungry, you are still full of vitality. Keep going.

when we arrived in Zhuo'er Mountain, just after the heavy rain, the scenic spot began to open.

When this scene appears, people's actions become quite simple in an instant, except taking pictures, that is, breathing.

Leisurely and carefree, the most poetic distance is just around the corner, at my feet.

I have crossed mountains and seas, and I have also crossed a sea of people ...

The red apple bought by Rong Er is not easy for Tibetans to transport up the mountain, leaving it with some brilliance at an altitude of 4, meters.

I stayed in a small town with fresh air at the foot of Mount Zall that night, and attended a local dinner and a bonfire party with Tibetans in the evening.

It's difficult to shoot the bonfire well, capturing a picture of Rong Er dancing.

On the third day, the trip from Zhuo'er Mountain to Menyuan to Xining was 29 kilometers, and the expressway+national highway reached Banshan.

Thank you for your garland and your enthusiasm

Thank you for your friends who accompanied you all the way, and for the mix and match of different ages

After three days of running around, back to the modern city of Xining, Rong Er and I finally couldn't help but go shopping and have a rare tooth sacrifice.

The time-honored Shalihai, located at No.5 North Street, is recommended for food.

The fourth day of the trip, from Xining to Guide to Ta 'er Temple and then to Xining, the whole journey is 26 kilometers at high speed.

The Yellow River in the world is precious to Deqing, and your virtue is precious to make a statement.

If you want to see the beautiful mountains and rivers, you should first protect an inch of land.

guide in the morning and Ta 'er Temple in the afternoon, which is just right.

At that time, I turned mountains and waters into stupas, not to repair the afterlife, but to meet you on the way. I understand you as another self in Cangyang Jiacuo's poems.

as long as you are on your pilgrimage, you are not alone.

at this point, the whole trip is over, and everything that can't fit in my eyes is put in my heart. I have gained a lot from seeing and thinking during a trip.

how many trips can we have in our life that we can talk about for a long time? Beautiful qinghai, I have been here, and I will come again.

Twitter written at the end: When traveling in the peak season, you must prepare hats, sunglasses and sun protection clothes, prepare enough drinking water and fruits, never catch a cold, and be sure to get enough sleep.
