Circular prompt

Most parts of Qinghai are above 3500 meters above sea level, and there are many plateaus along the ring road. So you may have altitude sickness or feel uncomfortable when you first arrive, and you don't have to worry too much about catching a cold. The problem is not big. Oxygen cylinders can be prepared at higher altitudes just in case. Mainly to relax.

The northwest is vast and the signal may be unstable. Some places do not support wx and Alipay. Be sure to bring cash.

Loop regulation

Xining is a good choice for urban accommodation (you can choose an economical, comfortable and luxurious one). In the plateau area, the conditions are limited and it is hard to find a room in the peak season. The price is also very high. You must book in advance. Of course, if you find a reliable travel agency, you don't have to worry about where to live. More worry-free

Must take the loop line

Heat preservation pot: the heat preservation pot can replenish the water and heat energy that the body lacks in time;

Sun protection: Sun protection is the most important thing. If you don't want to get sunburned, you must bring sunscreen, sunglasses, windproof hat, sunscreen clothes and shawl.

Skin care products: the climate in northwest China is dry and the desert is windy and dusty. Skin care products such as mask, lipstick and hydrating must be brought.

Long sleeves+coats are standard. If you want to watch the sunrise, remember to take a down jacket. In Dunhuang, you can wear nice skirts with short sleeves and shorts.

Carsick, cold, stomach, carrying a cold according to your own situation? You must bring it!

Ring road season

July-August is the tourist season, and a large area of grassland is in front of us. Rape flowers and wild flowers in the mountains are particularly beautiful. At the same time, the rain and high altitude make the summer here cool. Of course, summer is also the time for tourists to have more zui, but what about September spring? In autumn, during this time, it is dry and vast, and you can see many snow-capped mountains and hills. The desolation of the northwest is completely in front of your eyes, and there won't be too many tourists to take pictures.
