What's the best way to play the Great Northwest Ring Road?

Go on road trip is the best choice for the Great Northwest Link Tour, or group tour is the most enjoyable. Optional routes: Xining-Heimahe Township-Qinghai Lake Tea-Chaka Town-Delingha-Dachaidan-Dunhuang-Hexi Corridor-Zhangye -G227- Xining.

The whole section of the Great Northwest Ring Road is about 3,000 kilometers, and the route is relatively long, which is suitable for a group or a group of people who are young and strong. Therefore, it is suggested that you don't take old people or children with you when you go to play. You can go to road trip with your cyclist or charter a team trip, and you should prepare enough time. There are many landscapes in the Great Northwest Ring Road, such as mirror-like salt lakes, beautiful grasslands, vast flowers, desolate Gobi, spectacular Danxia landform and snow-capped mountains.

About the choice of chartered car and go on road trip: If people can drive frequently and have good physical strength, they can choose to drive by themselves. However, it is also recommended to invite a local tour guide when driving. Inviting a tour guide who knows the market can not only save a lot of time to ask for directions, but also save unnecessary trouble caused by not knowing the local cultural habits. If no traveler is willing to be a driver for a long time. I suggest that you charter a car, the cost is not very high, and it is worry-free and labor-saving. You can play more easily. Most chartered drivers have fixed routes, good scenic spots and places where you have to punch in. The driver will also remind everyone that you can get off the bus and take pictures. Many conscientious drivers and accommodation masters will also recommend delicious, distinctive and affordable restaurants to avoid stepping on pits.

About the itinerary: it is recommended to arrange more than 9 days, so I recommend the itinerary as follows:

Day 1: Arrive in Xining, find a good place to stay and have a simple meal. After the break, you can visit the Dongguan Mosque and Xinluma Mansion in Xining in the afternoon.

The next day: You can visit Ta 'er Temple-Sun Moon Mountain-Qinghai Lake-Rubber Mountain-Qaidam Basin-Chaka Salt Lake. Rest in Chaka Salt Lake at night.

Day 3: Delingha-Emerald Lake-Stay in Dachaidan for the night. This day's journey is very long, 450 kilometers. Be sure to arrange the time. If you don't drive alone all the time, it will really consume your strength. The scenery on the road is beautiful, but you must bring enough food. You may get hungry on the road.

Day 4: Dachaidan-the most beautiful highway-crossing the Gobi-Dangjinshan-Aksai Oil Town-Yangguan-Dunhuang Ancient City, and staying in Dunhuang at night. The journey of 500 kilometers this day is also quite tiring. This trip lasts for two days in a row, so it is also possible to stop for one day.

Day 5: Rest and adjust your state, visit the ancient city and eat local specialties, such as stuffed skin and mutton.

Day 6: Mogao Grottoes-Crescent Spring in Mingsha Mountain-Shazhou Night Market-Stay in Dunhuang.

Day 7: Depart from Dunhuang with luggage-Jiayuguan city-hanging the wall-colorful Danxia in Zhangye-stay in Zhangye at night.

Day 8: Zhangye-Binggou Danxia-Qilian Zhuo'er Mountain-You can stay in Qilian at night. ?

Day 9: Depart from Qilian-Niuxinshan-Qilian Prairie-Ebao Ancient Town-Jingyangling-Snow Mountain-Dabanshan Observation Deck-Heiquan Reservoir-Xining.

This is my suggestion, but this ring road in the northwest is really a long way. If you have enough time, you can only see one or two scenic spots a day and extend the travel time, which will not only be much easier, but also make you enjoy yourself more!
