Ta 'er Temple is an AAAAA-level tourist attraction and the activity center of Tibetan Buddhism in northwest China.

Day 3: chartered car: Heima River in Erlangjian Scenic Area of Xining. Traffic along the lake is inconvenient, so it is suggested that Xining charter or carpool to Qinghai Lake. It's less than 200 kilometers to Erlangjian Scenic Area, and the ticket fee is 100 yuan. Online booking is cheap. Appreciate the rapeseed by the lake. If you want to enter the cauliflower field, you must negotiate the price in advance. It's about 70 kilometers to Heima River, so be sure to book a yurt hotel on the grassland near Heima River in advance. Live in Heima River at night.

Erlangjian Scenic Area, also known as 15 1 base, is located on the lakeside of Qinghai, with the original China torpedo test base and the summer rape flowers on the lakeside of Qinghai. This group was taken in the car. It's a little fuzzy. Sorry

Before noon, I arrived at Chaka Salt Lake in the sky 70 kilometers away. Salt Lake tickets to 70 yuan, excluding small train tickets; Zhejiang people are admitted free of charge with valid identity documents, and elderly people and soldiers over 70 years old are admitted free of charge with valid documents.

Watch the sunrise in Heihe River. You can watch the sunrise in the morning in the yurt homestay on the grass by the lake.

As soon as you enter the scenic spot, remember to queue up to buy tickets.

Small trains and salt lake trails lead to the depths of the salt lake. It's a long road. The reflection of salt lake in the mirror of the sky, so be sure to bring colorful clothes.

No.4 is the main observation deck and the best place to watch the sunset. Scenic spots circulate in the sightseeing bus.

On the way to Horseshoe Temple, the Qilian Mountain is full of continuous sunflower fields.

Although horseshoe temple is an AAAA-level scenic spot, it is well worth visiting. These caves are magnificent and unique in appearance. The caves in Shibi Cave are connected with Buddhist niches, so there is no danger in climbing and the experience is unique.

It's a pity that the words are engraved on the wall, my friend, don't do this!

Looking down from the somewhat suspended corridor, it is a cliff. Looking at this ancient and primitive building will make you sigh the richness of the motherland's history.

Well-dressed Yugur staff in the scenic spot. In Sunan, Gansu Province, where the Horseshoe Temple scenic spot is located, there is a Yugur ethnic group, which is the smallest minority in China with a population of only 1.700.

Day 8: Zhang Ye goes home by train or by plane in Xining.

Coupled with the arrangement of the eight-day tour, the overall rhythm is still unhurried. Travel, like to travel freely, you can stay in your favorite place for a while and take your time; Travel, leave if you don't like taking pictures. I like to take stories and stories to visit and see stories of one place and one scene.

3. Preventive measures

July and August in the summer of 2008 is the best season in Qinghai Lake. In summer, rape blossoms are in full bloom on the plateau, which is also the most beautiful season on the grassland. At this time, you should pay attention to the following matters when traveling to the small loop of Qinghai Lake:

Qinghai Lake is 3200 meters above sea level. Please bring a hat, glasses, sunshade, sun protection clothing, sun protection cream, etc.

Located in the mid-latitude temperate zone, it is also a plateau. Even in summer, the temperature is not so high, and there is a temperature difference in the morning and evening. According to your own experience, you should bring your coat, sweater or jacket. When you go to Salt Lake, you should bring colorful headscarves and clothes. It's beautiful to take pictures in the sky.

Bring water cups, paper towels and wet paper towels; Bring appropriate snacks and dry food; Take the commonly used medicine you need, especially cold medicine and diarrhea medicine.

Because the altitude is about 3200 meters, running, jumping or excessive exercise will cause some altitude sickness.

The area around Qinghai Lake is dominated by Mongolians and Tibetans. We should respect ethnic minorities, understand local taboos and customs before departure, pay attention to do as the Romans do, and don't mention political issues related to ethnic minorities.

The desert by the lake has a unique feeling.

Bring relevant documents and copy them for later use. Tickets, boat tickets, trains, planes, hotels, etc. All need relevant documents. Tickets for eligible scenic spots can also be reduced or exempted.

It's summer tourism season. Charter, accommodation, bus tickets, train tickets, plane tickets, etc. All need to be booked in advance. Booking tickets for scenic spots online will be cheaper.

In Heima River near Qinghai Lake, accommodation, meals and other conditions will inevitably be unsatisfactory. Bring some fruits, snacks, dry food, etc. Before departure; The bathroom conditions of grassland homestay may be relatively simple, so you should be mentally prepared; It is recommended not to take a bath when staying in Heima River. Bathing can easily lead to high reaction.

The accommodation, food and other conditions of BB yurts by the lake may be relatively simple, so be prepared.

Into the salt lake scenic area, go directly to buy a small train ticket. You have to queue up by train. Don't take the battery car, it only goes to 1/3, not to the depths of the salt lake; There is intermittent rainfall in the salt lake in summer, so rain gear should be prepared; Be careful to crystallize the salt shell of the lower salt lake. Barefoot hurts a little. There are shoe covers at the entrance of the scenic spot, a pair of about 15; The small black hole in the salt lake is a trap. Don't step on it

Going barefoot to salt lake city will sting a little. Better have a shoe cover.

To go to Zhangye Danxia Scenic Area, it needs to be clear that it is not Binggou Danxia Scenic Area, but colorful Danxia Scenic Area. Don't make mistakes yourself, and don't be confused by them.

The colorful Danxia is a bit incredible. There is such a colorful land on earth. It will be my greatest comfort if my "Scenic Spot Arrangement and Travel Notes" can help you.
