Qinggan Great Ring Road for 6 days and 5 nights

Qinghai's tourism industry is very mature, with classic routes in 2 days, 3 days and 6 days. The route doesn't need strategy, it depends on personal time.

This time, I chose semi-free carpooling, 6 days and 5 nights Qinggan Grand Ring Road:

1. Xining-Ta 'er Temple-Laji Mountain-Daotang River-Qinghai Lake-Chaka Town, Wulan County (lodge)

2. Chaka Salt Lake Sky-Emerald Lake-Dachaidan (Cabin)

3. Dachaidan-Ghost Town (the largest Ya Dan landform group in Asia)-the most beautiful highway in Dangjinshan-crossing the no man's land in Qaidam Basin-oil town-Dunhuang Mingshashan Shalihai camping base-Dunhuang (lodge).

4. Dunhuang-Mogao Grottoes-Crescent Spring in Mingsha Mountain-See also Dunhuang large-scale live performance-Dunhuang (Lodge)

5. Dunhuang-Jiayuguan (First Xiongguan)-Zhangye Colorful Danxia National Geopark-Zhangye (Lodge)

6. Zhangye-Biandukou-Qilian Mountain Prairie (the six most beautiful grasslands in China)-Menyuan Baili Rape Flower-Xining

This is the approximate route for six days.

On the first day, Laki Mountain felt very shocked. Repeatedly experience sunny days, rainy days and hail in the mountains during the day. On Laki Mountain, I can see grasslands, mountains and snow-capped mountains? Yak and sheep, the weather is changeable, the scenery is changeable and the temperature is changeable.

There is a saying that "Laji Mountain" is a branch of Qilian Mountain. Its uplift is like a pulled ridge, so it is called "Laji Mountain". It is located in the south of Xining and is the dividing line between the Loess Plateau and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The name of the mountain is a transliteration in Tibetan, which translates into Chinese as "the place where eagles can't fly." There is also a saying that this mountain is inhabited by many pheasants, so it is also called "Laji Mountain". The highest peak of Laji Mountain is 4524 meters above sea level. The mountain pass of Laji Mountain reached by our car is about 3820 meters above sea level.

Come down from Laji Mountain and go to Daotang River. Daotang River flows into Qinghai Lake from east to west. It is said that there is a Sun Moon Mountain at the junction of the Loess Plateau and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty married Tubo Zampson Zagambo in order to communicate Tibetan-Chinese ethnic relations. As a result, she crossed the Tang-Fan ancient road to Tibet on the way south. When she turned around, she missed Chang 'an and her hometown, and she went to the west and wept. The princess's tears merged into a river. Therefore, there is a saying that "all rivers in the world flow eastward, and only this stream flows westward".

As we approached the Daotang River, our car met the herdsmen's sheep and yaks and saw them holding a calf that could not run fast.

40 yuan/person ticket to Daotang River, including wearing Tibetan costumes and riding yaks. There are headdresses, hats and other clothing colors to choose from, and staff help to wear them. The scenery in the scenic spot is beautiful and the clouds are very low.

Out of Daotang River, go to Qinghai Lake. On the way to Qinghai Lake, there are a lot of rape flowers, which gives people the feeling of literary Excellence. The pony takes us in from a side door, which is almost equal to not asking for tickets.

Located in the northeast of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Qinghai Lake is the largest inland lake and saltwater lake in China. It is formed by the fault subsidence among Datong Mountain, Sun Moon Mountain and Nanshan Mountain in Qilian Mountain and Qinghai Province.

Qinghai Lake is very wide and quiet, and there are not many people at the side door.

Unfortunately, I haven't taken two pictures when I arrived in Qinghai Lake. I can't find my glasses. When I ran to the lake to find my glasses, my head ached and I wanted to throw up. In the second half, I sat on the ground completely, and my head became more and more uncomfortable. I feel like wearing a hoop spell, and my temples are getting tighter and tighter, and I want to vomit. I think it's an escape, a little high-spirited. After withering, wait until the little friend comes back and start eating at the tea card. On the way, I crossed the Black Horse River non-stop. Because the most classic thing about Heima River is to watch the sunset, but because we didn't carpool until 9 o'clock in Xining that day, we met the beautiful scenery in Laki Mountain, and the pony stopped at any time, so we came down to take pictures and play, so the sun set before we reached Heima River. On the highway after nine o'clock, I took a sunset, which was also very special.

In the evening, I went to Chaka Town, Wulan County and stayed in a Tibetan homestay. I have to say that the temperature difference between morning and evening on the plateau is really great. Besides, I lost my coat when I got off the plane and suddenly had a headache. When I arrived at B&B, I was really shaking when I walked. I wore two and a half sleeves and a scarf. As a result, I found an electric blanket on B&B, and I was extremely happy.

After breakfast the next day, I went to Chaka Salt Lake and needed a strategy. Tickets for Chaka Salt Lake are half price for 70 yuan/person and Zhejiang people. It's a pity that the weather was almost constant that morning when we arrived at Chaka Salt Lake? It was cloudy that day, and friends left after buying tickets. I have been following the crowd since I entered the scenic spot, watching salt sculptures, and I don't know how to take a small train. When I remembered, there were only two hours left. You'd better take a small train as soon as you enter Chaka Salt Lake Scenic Area, because the small train needs to buy tickets to queue up. Small train 50 yuan/person, the route is quite far. It takes some time to run all the way to the most beautiful scenic spot in the center of the lake, and then get off and walk back, so it's best to queue up on the small train as soon as you enter the scenic spot, and then walk back slowly and take pictures. There are two kinds of small trains, one is semi-closed with windows, the other is open without windows, and the price is the same. Which one to take depends on the luck in the queue. After the train entered Chaka Salt Lake, it was really beautiful, and the weather was shocked when it didn't meet the big sun.

The roads in the scenic spot are all paved with salt, so it is difficult to walk fast. The water in the salt lake is not deep, but it is basically the same height, from ankle to knee, and there is nothing higher. When I got off the train, I arrived at the center of the lake. There is a place to rent rubber shoes, 5 yuan/person. The deposit is 100. You can go down to the lake by renting rubber shoes. Although the weather is not very good, there are still reflections in the lake. Rubber overshoes have zippers, which will definitely get water, but they are not cold. I'm wearing a skirt with a cotton-padded jacket beside me. Most tourists are classic red skirts, some of which are beautiful in black and eye-catching in color. After going down to the lake, there is a feeling that the feet are sucked by octopus, and the rubber shoes will be sucked quickly, and the resistance to progress is great. After leaving the lake, your feet will feel frosty when they are dry. It should be salt.

The weather in Chaka has always been cloudy, although it is a little regrettable, but after arriving at Emerald Lake in the afternoon, I feel that I have made up for it.

Emerald Lake is a plateau salt lake located at an altitude of 3000 meters, embedded in the snowy plateau of Dachaidan. It hasn't been developed yet, and no tickets are charged.

There are also people driving here, but not many people. Emerald Lake is a great surprise. It has a typical mirror of the sky. How to shoot well? It was about six o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived. The sunshine is very good, and the color of the lake is like emerald.

After coming up from Emerald Lake, we went back to Dachaidan to stay. In the evening, we began to have a sudden headache again and ran back to the inn without eating two meals. I found a funny thing when I was preparing to take off my makeup, because my face was blue before I came, and it ended just one day early. When I took out the ointment and unscrewed the lid to wipe it, the medicine purred all over the floor because of the air pressure. I ran to open the lotion and looked at it. As a result, the bottle was used up. ? )。

On the third day, I set out from Dachaidan for the ghost town (also called Nanbaxian). It is said that the ghost town got its name because the local rocks are rich in iron and have strong geomagnetism, which often makes the compass fail and pedestrians get lost. At night, the wind howled like a ghost crying and wolf howling.

This place is undeveloped, sparsely populated, and no tickets are charged. Here's another story. That is to say, in the past five years, eight female geologists from the south have come here to spend their youth looking for oil resources. Once they went back to the maze of remnant hills and got lost, and their landmarks were buried. They will sleep here forever. In memory of these eight glorious female geologists, the place where they died was called "Southern Eight Immortals".

It should be the largest Ya Dan landform group in Asia, with many mounds formed by wind erosion. It looks shocking and strange, but it feels like a small mound, probably because there is no reference.

After getting off the bus, the pony reminded us not to run to the hill inside, in case we couldn't find our way. We found the nearest hill which was a little high, climbed it and saw the landform of Ya Dan. Share some photos I took for my sister Wen Li, a donkey friend in the same car. I like lonely walkers, especially.

On the way from the ghost town to the no man's land in Qaidam Basin, when you pass the most beautiful highway in Dangjinshan, of course, you should take beautiful road photos, but there are cars driving on the road that day, so you must pay attention to safety when taking photos, and don't interfere with the driving of vehicles, because the cars are driving very fast on this section. If there is no one, you can shoot happily, and the effect is quite good. On the same day, we also took a road photo with another group of carpooling friends, which looks better when there are many people.

After taking photos of the highway, I began to cross the no man's land. The signal in no man's land is intermittent, sometimes not. There are few vehicles driving in the no-man's land, which is very open, and occasionally some construction projects can be seen. The no-man's land in Qaidam Basin is also called the cornucopia of the motherland. Crossing in no man's land, the weather changes a lot. It's raining and sunny. I especially like the roads in no man's land. There is a feeling that Dongji Island Highway was photographed by Han Han. After listening to the ordinary road, my mood is broadened in an instant, and there is nothing to worry about. On the road in no man's land, I took a lot of videos and left them on my mobile phone, ready to take a look at the tangled things in the future.

I didn't fall asleep while driving in no man's land. When I was about to leave the no-man's land, the road was built. I ran a dirt road, the car began to bump, and our heads began to shake with the bumps. If paired with a dream baby, you can have a wild jump in the car. Soon after driving up the mountain on the dirt road, you can see many snow-capped mountains? It's close. There are many purple wildflowers on the snowy mountain, which are very beautiful. Ever since I got to the mountain, the Panshan Highway has been downhill, and the route is curved and steep. The car took a big turn. Pony's car and route are very familiar, so the speed is very fast, and I can even overtake on Panshan Highway steadily. I was sitting in the middle of the second row, sweating a lot, and I remembered that I was afraid to refuel when I was learning to drive. The scenery on the mountain is also beautiful, with staggered peaks and snow-capped mountains outcropping. After going down the mountain, Ma Xiao told us that the mountain was more than 4,000 meters above sea level just now, but he didn't say anything, because he was afraid of our high reaction. He really didn't say that all of us are fine.

The oil town is just beyond the mountain, and the ticket is 40 yuan/person. This is the location of many movies. I haven't seen these movies, the nine-story demon tower and the hero, so I remembered these two famous ones. We were all a little surprised when we arrived at the entrance of the oil city. This is not like a scenic spot, but like a small town with broken walls everywhere. Mainly to take pictures of tourists. There are many trucks and scenic spots in online celebrities for taking pictures, and there is nothing else to visit. There are fruit sellers, which are not particularly expensive. I took the punch card, turned and ran to the front of the pony car to shade the sun. It's too hot and sunny.

On the way to Aksai for dinner after visiting the oil town, Sister Livin started to give us the popular science oil town and the nine-story demon tower in the car. Only then did I begin to regret it. I just ran out so fast that I didn't notice anything. But this regret soon disappeared, because it was almost two o'clock. I'm hungry, and I've been thinking that Xiaoma will take us to Aksai for dinner at once, and then drive to Dunhuang.

After the car enters Gansu Province, it will check its ID card, because it begins to cross provinces.

The first stop to Dunhuang is camping in Mingsha Mountain and Shalixi? Base, 200 yuan/person. Including sand skiing, online celebrity swing, camel riding, sand motorcycle, camping accommodation, hot pot buffet, barbecue, bonfire party and all other entertainment facilities. When we arrived, it was probably not five o'clock in the afternoon. After receiving the bracelet at the base, I sat on the stool for half an hour. I really want to step on the desert sand and have no courage, for fear that the scar on my face will turn black. Looking at Lu Lu Si, Qiong Qiong started riding a sand motorcycle, and the engine roared, but she couldn't hold back. She took off her shoes and ran into the sand without burning her feet. We went to see the camels first. It is free to take photos by camel, and it is charged to let the camel stand up and walk around the desert. There are always five camels lying on the beach, drooling for a long time. They are all beautiful, with big eyes and small face. As soon as they lie down, their legs shrink and their buttocks leak. Some children feed them grass, and camels are greedy.

They listened to their master very much. They stood up and lay down to listen to their master. At night, after dark, their owners will take them back.

After camel shooting, Pony took us to go sand skiing. We are all very excited. We got the sand board at the bottom and dragged it to the top of the sand. We are all dumbfounded. No one dares to go down because it looks too high. I watched others play happily for a long time. Finally, Joan Joan demonstrated that she was the first one to rush down on a sand skateboard. We watched it for a long time before sliding down one by one. We are not as afraid as expected. If we try to keep our balance on the sand skateboard, we will dive faster. Even if we are nervous and unbalanced, it doesn't matter, because it doesn't hurt to fall, but the clothes will be covered with sand. After skiing for the first time, we usually play twice and come up from the sand. After sliding down the beach, you can sit on the big swing at another camping base. The swing runs very fast, but it is not terrible because of the small drop. The most exciting snowmobile, I didn't have the courage to run and sit at the end of dinner.

It was almost nine o'clock when the sun was about to set. Pony took us to return the sand table and took some photos for us in the afterglow of the sunset. It was very nice.

At 9 o'clock, the camping buffet hot pot and the party started on time, and the host began to call us to warm up. Only 1 1 people sit at a table and eat together. We were the first to sit together at this table, but the three girls in the other group hesitated again and again, and finally ran to the other table (︿). Our eyes were fixed on eating, and finally the pony went to help us communicate with the camp. Watching programs while eating, there were many interactions at the party, including singing, games and disco dancing. I'm the only one who keeps bowing his head to eat, afraid of being dragged onto the stage. Lulu at our table won the lottery and was named in the first round. After dinner, we prepared a bonfire party. The host is very considerate. First, we turn on the lights and let us enjoy the bonfire lighting. Then all of us go to the beach to sing, play games and make wishes on the stars. There is a beauty of the sunset galaxy.

This game doesn't end until it is close to 12. Some people choose to live in an inn and I choose to camp? . The suggestion of taking care of children is to choose camping, because there are activities such as setting up tents, which can exercise children's communication and hands-on ability. If you are yourself, camping is not recommended. You can't take a shower first. After playing all day, I was covered in sand, and so was my hair. Secondly, the desert 12 point has no end point at all. Hey, the sand motorcycle will drive until one o'clock. There are stars, singers and motorcyclists. The engine is so loud in the desert at night that they won't fall asleep until at least 1: 30. It's not too cold to sleep in a sleeping bag. It's hot in the sleeping bag in the first half of the night and a little cold in the second half.

At 5: 30 in the morning, I was woken up by the camp staff to watch the sunrise, and got up in a daze and went back to the tent. My first reaction turned out to be that I would go to the inn to sleep and take a bath.

At 6: 30, the car in the camp sent us back to the inn, where all the parents and children came. Back to the inn, the first thing to do is to take a bath, covered in sand, and there is sand in my ears. Then I slept until noon, without going to the Mogao Grottoes or the Crescent Moon Spring. Go to eat after waking up. This meal is very cheap. When I came back from dinner, I met a camel walking home.

In the afternoon, our group got enough sleep and decided to go to Dunhuang night market. After Xiaoma took over the live performance "Look at Qiong Qiong" in Dunhuang, we set off for the night market together. Qiong Qiong watched the live performance for 268-568 yuan/person, but we didn't go. Joan told us about the process along the way, which sounded very shocking. When I arrived at the night market, I ate the special saute spicy chicken in Xining. The plate of saute spicy chicken is much bigger than usual. After eating seven minutes full, there is a lot left, and I don't want to eat noodles. I went to the night market to eat snacks when my stomach was empty. There are many people selling yogurt, kebabs, sand paintings and camel products in the night market. Pony gave each of us a small bottle of camel sand painting.

Eat well and sleep well.

At seven o'clock the next morning, I had breakfast at the inn, got on the bus and set off for Jiayuguan. It's a long journey, about three or four hundred kilometers. I'm in the Hexi Corridor. Through Guazhou, I asked my Chinese teacher, Sister Wen Li, if Guazhou Yishui in Jingkou is this Guazhou, and gave me popular science. The road is high-speed, not as beautiful as no man's land and Laki Mountain, but there are wind turbines and sunflower fields. In Guazhou service area, Ma Xiao took us to eat cantaloupe for free, and our group started a shopping spree, because it was very cheap, and all kinds of milk chips and beans cost 25 yuan. One bottle of Lycium barbarum 60, five bags of various fruit pieces 100, one bag. There are many samples. We can buy them while eating, and we can eat them whether we buy them or not. We kept asking what it was, what it was. The store was very patient and broke up a lot of dried yak meat for us, although we didn't buy any meat. Everyone began to sleep and eat in the distance behind, and no one chatted with the pony anymore. I almost fell asleep in the car. We woke up in the middle and saw the pony trying to open the skylight and window to wake us up. It turned out that he was in vain. In this way, I almost got to Jiayuguan in a daze. When I got off at Jiayuguan, I heard China steamed stuffed bun with cold rice noodles. Yes, I went to eat, but I was disappointed to find that the cold noodles in the scenic spot were terrible. I want to eat cold noodles, which are much more delicious than cold noodles. China hamburgers are delicious.

Before entering Jiayuguan, I found that the ticket price has increased 108 yuan/person. When I was waiting in line at the door to buy tickets, I heard someone say it was worth the fare. I hesitated, thinking that when I came here, the starting point of the Great Wall still had to be seen. After buying a ticket and entering the door, the staff said they needed to take a bus in the scenic spot, and the fare was 10 yuan /3 km, which was a long journey. When we got on the bus, we found that the journey was only five minutes, and there was no need to send it before and after. It really only took five minutes to walk. It's still a long way after getting off the bus. We can't see the continuous Great Wall, only one wall is enclosed and a section of the original Great Wall is cut off. It's a little different from Jiayuguan in my imagination, and it's different from the Great Wall in Beijing. The square wall enclosed inside can be climbed to see the plain scenery. Generally speaking, there are fewer scenic spots in Jiayuguan, and the ticket price is in the middle of the whole ring road. You can advise not to go.
