I want to go directly to Qilian County from gangcha county after road trip around Qinghai Lake. Is this road easy to walk? Is the altitude high? Will there be altitude sickness? How long will it take?

Just passed at the end of July, two lanes, good road conditions. Some sections have beautiful scenery, pay attention to passing cattle and sheep. Among them, the Dadongshuyakou is more than 4000 meters above sea level, but it is only about 10 km. Other road sections are not high in altitude, and the high ones depend on people. If Xining does not respond, it is estimated that the problem is not big. It took me six hours from Gangcha to Qilian, including eating and stopping to take pictures. If I travel, 3-4 hours is enough.

In addition, you must eat Huangyu when you go to Huangyuan, and the price is tens of yuan a catty. There is a beautiful place near Qilian County, which is called Little Switzerland.
