Driving around Hala Lake in Qinghai reminds me of the no man's land of the fifth ice and snow adventure.

Hala Lake is the second largest lake in Qinghai and an undeveloped virgin land in the hinterland of Qilian Mountain, with a diameter of 400? Fiona Fang has no permanent residents, so it ranks fifth among the most uninhabitable areas in China. From 10? Maybe by the next year's 5? In June, Hala Lake is frozen for half the year, which is also the best time to challenge the polar crossing!

Route characteristics

The road from Delingha to Hala Lake is 30? Km has been paved, and the rest are sandy roads, which are easy to walk in summer, but the whole road section has to climb over three snow-capped mountains, and in winter, the snow on the road surface is very thick, and some roads are steep and slippery, and vehicles are trapped repeatedly, making it extremely difficult to pass; There is no formed road surface to the north of Hala Lake, so we can only choose the road according to the situation. The road conditions are very complicated. Ordinary SUV? This is insurmountable. Suri to Yang Long basically runs through the Qilian Mountains. The road is narrow, the ditch on the roadside is deep, and rolling stones and water-damaged sections can be seen everywhere on the road. It is recommended to walk during the day and pass after observation.

Line stroke

D 1: south bank of delingha-hala lake (crossing section? 150? Kilometers)

D2: south bank of Hala Lake-north bank of Hala Lake-Yang Long Town (crossing section? 230? Kilometers)

D3: Yang Long Township-Bayi Glacier-Qilian County (S204? 320? Kilometers)

From the south bank of Hala Lake to the north bank, it is ok to surround the lake for half a week, and walk from the west or cross from the east. At the northeast end of the lake, snow covers the lake. The road over the mountain is steep and difficult to walk. Most of the roads are rivers with many deep boulders. The car tire was cut by a sharp stone and had to be replaced with a spare tire. At the northwest end of the lake, the road is open and flat, and there is no snow. Vehicles can drive to the lake and watch this "sapphire" hidden in Qilian Mountain for thousands of years at close range. Several friends in the team got excited again and started chasing. Smoke filled the air and the engine roared, which seemed to awaken the beauty of Leng Yan who had been sleeping for thousands of years, and the lake stirred up waves.

Continue north from the north bank of Hala Lake, go to Qilian County, and pass through Suli Township and Yang Long Township. This section of the road passes through Qilian Mountain, and it is basically driven on the gravel road. The mountain road is winding, the road is narrow, only one car can be accommodated, and the ditch is deep. When the motorcade came here, it was near evening. Turning on the light, it moved slowly, and falling rocks could be seen everywhere on the road. Fortunately, it didn't snow. At the moment when I came out of the mountain, my hanging heart was finally put in my stomach.
