After breakfast, the official start is exciting The longing trip to Qinghai.

We climb over Riyue Mountain, pass by Daotang River, and then arrive at the bank of Qinghai Lake. There is a lake in everyone's heart, which is the yearning for freedom. Looking at this lake, it is hard to tell which is the sky and the lake. Everyone can walk freely by the lake and enjoy the scenery of sea and sky. The flowering period of rapeseed flowers in Qinghai Lake is from the end of June to mid-July.

Day3? Qinghai Lake-Chaka Salt Lake

After breakfast, go to Chaka Salt Lake. It is called the "land of the sky" in China. In the blue sky and white clouds, the sky and the earth blend together. One body, as if standing in the air.

Day 4? Chaka Town-Emerald Lake-Dachaidan

After breakfast, set off for Emerald Lake. The lake here is turquoise and translucent, like a gem embedded in a desert. When the weather is fine, the mirror-like lake reflects the blue sky, white clouds and snow-capped peaks.

Day5? Dachaidan-Mars Base

In the morning, we set off via the Chinese version of "No. 163" Highway and slowly entered the largest Yadan landform group in China. The wind has been blowing on this ancient land for thousands of years. It is unique because of its strange and grotesque landforms and erratic strong winds.

DAY6? Mars Base—Mysterious Hot Springs

In the morning we said goodbye from the Mars Base and passed by a large lake as blue as the blue sky. To say it is a big lake is a relative term. In the desert, it is a miracle to have such a lake. Taking a deep breath, you can see the vast Gobi Desert and the Kunlun Mountains hanging in the clouds. This kind of scenery should probably only appear in dreams.

Then we continued to the small hot springs dug by Little Earth. Because it has not been developed, it is in its most primitive state. The springs and the gushing spring water have evaporated for a long time, and the sulfur-containing substances in the spring water have precipitated on the land, forming a reddish-brown "eye of the sky" around the belt-like boundary. ".

DAY7 Mysterious Hot Spring - Shuangse River - Yadan on the Water

After breakfast, we will drive to a very important stop in the itinerary, the only Yadan landform on the water in China. Along the way we pass the magical Wave Highway, which we also call China’s Route 163.

The car continued to move forward and came to Yadan on the water, which few people have set foot on so far. This is the only Yadan landform on the water in the world. If you use a drone to take aerial photography, the shape protruding out of the water will be like the back of a whale, heading into the distance.

I believe that if you have seen Yadan on the water, you will admire the miraculous craftsmanship of nature, and then the following scenery will make you even more fascinated by the beautiful scenery of the Northwest! The magic of the Double Color River is that a road separates the lake into two lakes of different colors, half blue and half green.

DAY8 Shuiyadan-Golmud

Today we drove to Golmud. The roads on the way were our concave-photographic props, allowing us to take photos of our own road blockbusters.

DAY9 Golmud-Kekexili-Golmud

Today, we will go to the Hoh Xil Nature Reserve to feel the vast beauty and preciousness of life here.

You can see various wild animals along the way, including Tibetan sheep, Tibetan wild donkeys, foxes, and if you are lucky, you may also encounter the rarely seen Tibetan antelope!

In the evening we return to Golmud city to break up the group. You can choose to fly home from Golmud, or take the train from Golmud to Xining to return to Xining first, and then return to your hometown.
