The natural scenery here is picturesque, and Dulan Huahai grassland.

Haixi's self-driving tour is full of surprises. In a place like Haixi, you will really understand what is the most beautiful scenery on the road. I have always liked natural scenery. In the process of driving in Haixi, a big surprise was the Hayes Flower Sea Grassland in dulan county. Huahai Grassland is far from the county seat, 100 km, and the scenery along the way is also beautiful.

Dulan county is located in the southeast of Qaidam Basin. As early as 1000 years ago, Dulan was an important town on the Silk Road in Qinghai, the "Tang-Fan Ancient Road". From dulan county in summer to Nomuhong in the west, there are thousands of ancient tombs and sites along more than 200 kilometers. Dulan county Hayes Huahai is located in the middle section from National Highway 109 to Golmud.

Hayes Flower Sea Grassland is a plateau flower sea at an altitude of 3,500 meters. This altitude is quite comfortable, the air is not thin and the temperature is very pleasant. Dulan is Mongolian, which means "warmth", a very appropriate word.

When you reach the temple of the sea and the sea of flowers, you must climb high and look far. Such a spectacular sight can only be seen by climbing to the top of the mountain.

These beautiful flowers have an equally beautiful name: Stellera chamaejasme.

In Qaidam Basin, Dulan is called "oasis", where there are not only beautiful natural scenery, but also beautiful legends left over from ancient civilization. Walking in the sea of flowers, there is a fresh smell in the air, which is refreshing.

Huahaicao used to have a base camp, where there were many yurts, where tourists could eat, relax and entertain.

I like to see the distant peaks very much. Everything feels so clean in this weather in Qinghai.

The yurt has a simple fence, but this kind of wooden fence is very close to the environment and does not violate it at all.

You can also ride horses in Huahai grassland, but this racecourse is closed, not what I thought. You can ride horses on the grassland at will.

I had a lunch with grassland characteristics in the yurt, which was not very delicious, but it also left a deep impression.
