It's June, and it's convenient to get from Chengdu to Qinghai Lake. I only have three days. How to arrange the trip is more reasonable and needs experience to answer.

Day 1 (July 24th): Departure time: 08:00 Route: Chengdu-Mianyang-Jiangyou-Pingwu-Chuanzhusi-Zoige (1) During this period, there are many rainstorms in Sichuan, so we are afraid of landslides on the road, so we haven't decided which route to take. The initial intention is to take Mianyang-Guangyuan-Qipanguan-Ningqiang-Hanzhong. What do you think of the road conditions along the way? When I got on Mianyang Expressway, I began to call my friends in the travel agency to find out the road conditions to Zoige today (this is more than 200 kilometers less than taking Guangyuan, and I can also visit Hongyuan by the way). When I was on the highway, it began to rain again. Although friends say that the road from Pingwu to Zoige is OK (the road from Wenchuan to Chuanzhusi is not easy, and landslides and flying stones often occur during this time, which is not taken into account), it is raining now. So I got off the expressway in Mianyang, and four people got to know the road conditions separately, asked other drivers, surfed the Internet and called 1 14. Finally, I summed up my opinions and unanimously decided to take Zoige. (2) The expressway from Chengdu to Jiangyou is expressway. Although the Chengdu-Mianyang section is under maintenance, it is still very smooth, but the speed can't run. The section from Jiangyou to Pingwu is a provincial road, which is better than expected. The road is flat and there are few cars, but there are several bends. Just be careful, it's quite cool to run. After the Crystal Village, there is a 300-meter road construction, which is not very good, but the car can completely pass. There is also a section from Huanglong to Xuebaoding, which is being repaired because of the earthquake of magnitude 5. 12, but it is no problem to pass. The worst road section is Chuanzhusi Street. The whole street is under renovation. The road surface is bumpy and the chassis has been hung up three times. Unfortunately, the car just left Chuanzhusi Street. I found a company called Zhongwang Auto Repair Factory on the roadside, saying that it specializes in tire repair, but the conditions and tire repair technology are really flattering, too crude and primitive, and I only charged 30 yuan for a new valve core. Out of the Zhuchuan Temple, it rained cats and dogs again. We walked on in the rain. No sooner had I entered the grassland than the rain stopped. Two rainbows crossed the sky, which was beautiful. This is rare in peacetime. It's really "how can you see a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain?" We were so excited that we quickly took out our cameras and flashed wildly. Arrived at Zoige county at 8:36, and couldn't see the sunset because of the weather. (Fuel cost: 550 yuan toll: 13 1 yuan) The next day (July 25th) Departure time: 08:00 Route: Zoige-First Bay of Jiuqu Yellow River-Huahu-langmusi-Linxia-Lanzhou (1) Although the journey today is a bit long, There are scenery along the way. July and August are the most beautiful seasons on the grassland. The vast grassland is full of wild flowers, cattle and sheep are grazing with their heads down, and countless small lakes are dotted on the grassland, forming a beautiful picture.

(2) The first bay of Jiuqu Yellow River is the junction of Sichuan, Qinghai and Gansu provinces. The Yellow River, which comes slowly from the source, twists and turns here and meets the tributary Baihe River, leaving beautiful scenery and legends on the grassland. The nearby Suokezang Temple is a famous temple of Tibetan Buddhism. In order to fully show the scenery of the first bay of the Jiuqu Yellow River, we need to climb the pavilion on the top of the mountain to watch it. Halfway up the mountain, I lost my strength, so I had to enjoy it here for a while and then drive back. (3) Go to Zoige for lunch, and find a "Chengdu flavor" specially, and have a meal every two days, which is refreshing. I especially recommend "Roast Beef with Radish" and "Spicy Beef Feet" in this restaurant, which are delicious. After lunch, I started driving to Lanzhou, passing Huahu and langmusi. I didn't stop because I was in a hurry. Another reason is the beautiful scenery along the way. If I want to take pictures, any stop on the roadside is beautiful. There was a checkpoint on the way out of Sichuan, and a policeman stopped our car. We were all a little nervous and wondered if we were speeding. As a result, we just need to check the driving license, driver's license, insurance policy and how many people are in the car. This is a false alarm. Remember to bring all the certificates when we come out to play. (4) Soon after leaving Sichuan, you can see a piece of rape field. They are golden, different from Sichuan rapeseed. They are little traitors, but they don't make a trip. Like a carpet, against the common blue sky and white clouds on the plateau, the endless golden color is extremely gorgeous, which makes people sigh. (5) Generally speaking, the road conditions along the route are ok, but the road ratio from Linxia to Lanzhou is poor, with more cars. After crossing the ancient town, you can go directly to Lanzhou on the expressway. Stay in a chain store for 7 days, the accommodation is good and the price is cheap. Big bed room 157 yuan/room (fuel cost: 320 yuan toll: 98 yuan Jiuqu Yellow River First Bay ticket: 48 yuan/person). On the third day (July 26th), the departure time is 9: 00. Route: Lanzhou-Xining-Huangyuan-Daotang River-Sun Moon Mountain-Qinghai Lake. At 2 pm, go to Daotanghe for lunch. I met a Chengdu bus at lunch and ate here. I feel very cordial. Everyone began to exchange information about the journey and sightseeing route. After lunch, continue to Qinghai Lake. It took only 1 hour to get to Qinghai Lake, but by this time, the rape flowers were in full bloom. Dense yellow flowers, close to most of the shore of Qinghai Lake, have a million mu. Under the deep blue sky of the plateau, the flowers are golden and inlaid on the blue shore of Qinghai Lake, which is endless. There are many vehicles parked on the roadside, and tourists who take photos run into the rape field one after another, but they all have to pay money, some are 5 yuan/person, some are 10 yuan/car, but they are worth it, so they are a good place for photographers to draw materials. (2) We originally planned to go to Bird Island, but this time is really not the bird-watching season (according to the locals, the best bird-watching season is May). As a result, we ran for nothing, and it was more than 300 kilometers. The wisest thing is not to spend money to enter the scenic spot, but it is worth mentioning that there is a section of road close to the lake. We came to the lake without spending money, and many photographers took pictures here. (3) Back to the base of 15 1, it is already 8 o'clock, and the accommodation ratio is relatively tight. I only found the "Xiadu Hotel", which is said to be a hotel. Actually, it is a two-story board house (the kind built after the earthquake), 160 yuan/room. Moreover, seeing the blustery, it arrived at 65438+ before us. You can't notice it in this place. According to the local people, it was dark at 8: 30, so I wrote down my accommodation and rushed to the lake to shoot the sunset. You can shoot the sunrise at 6: 30 in the morning, and the time for sunset and sunrise is very short. It is suggested that those who want to take pictures must choose the location in advance, otherwise it will be fleeting.
