I went to see this attraction specially. It didn’t disappoint. When I went there, it was still sunny. When I left, I felt that it was about to rain, but my luck was still very good. I wanted to see Danxia.
Finally came to this color palette that was turned over for God. The colorful Danxia scenery is really beautiful. It is worth it! ! It feels very suitable to bring children, and you can really feel different landforms. We didn't see the hot air balloon because of the wind that day. The young lady here is not recommended to wear too flowers, because the scenery behind is already colorful enough, simple, you only have to go there one stop is the most beautiful scenery.

Needless to say, the scenery of the tea card is very beautiful, sitting on the small train, looking at the beautiful salt lake. When the weather is good, the photo is very good. Just pay attention to sun protection.
A place with a good view! The small train is too slow! The weather is hot and not suitable for walking. Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah

Go upstairs and go directly to the fourth floor to swipe Tangka first. Adults and children are deeply shocked. Children who don't like to go to the museum are also attracted by Tangka's story. After the narrator finishes the focus, the children still want to see it for themselves, especially worth going. Quan is a reserve for entering Tibet. The museum's Zaxi restaurant is Tibetan food, very cost-effective
Enter the door for free, go to the South Hall to visit, the narrator said that the lower part of Tangka is in the North Building, but the result is rushing to run over, found that the Tangka in the North Building is charged separately, 58 yuan fare, do not understand why the museum should operate like this, this is not a museum also charged twice. There are basically no people in the North Hall. The children are very interested in the history and introduction of Tibetan medicine. If you have time, you can check the South Hall by the way. If you don't have time, you don't have to look at it.

A place worth visiting! Today's trip to Ta'er Temple was both amazing and a little disappointing.
There are many temples and halls, which make people feel the strong religious atmosphere and architectural scale. The "three wonders" - butter sculptures, pile embroidery, and murals are indeed well-deserved, especially the exquisite butter sculptures, which are impressive and touching. However, it is a bit challenging to go there in this season. It is hot and sunny, and there are many tourists, which may affect the comfort of the tour to some extent. But overall, it is very rewarding to see these special landscapes with your own eyes~
Kumbum monastery is a must-visited place in Xining, Qinghai. With the magnificent sceneric Bhuddist infrastructure, there are many history and culture to experience in this monastery! 🤩🙏 #Monastery #Buddhism #Culture #History #Travel

Experience the charm of the Huanghe by rafting on a sheepskin raft

9:30 Enter the park 14:30 out of the park except for the yellow Tengda. First of all, the desert area and then the Yellow River. I also ate a meal in the viewing restaurant. I must have a lot of people in the morning. There are no people in the desert area. I almost don’t queue up. It’s best to have 35KG otherwise it’s easy to get stuck in the middle and can’t fly, but Even if you don't play Feihuang Tengda, it's still a good deal to buy a package. Children like the desert flying and riding camels the most.
Finally came to punch in, the most looking forward to is the sheepskin dumplings, very fun ～ No. 81 rowing master praise! The whole rafting time is about 15 minutes, the masters will sing together, very interesting ～

Danxia landform, it is worth seeing, that is, the route setting of the scenic spot is unreasonable, deliberately there is a distance without taking a sightseeing car, asking you to spend money to rent a shared electric car. Either you add money to upgrade to VIP, the eyes are full of money
Ink Danxia, most platforms are very convenient to buy tickets, but whether it is Trip.com or applet, there are only adult tickets, children's tickets, and elderly tickets under 69 years old, 70 years old and above, to buy at the ticket office, 20 yuan is not expensive, but it is inconvenient.

Qinghai Lake is well-deserved! Thanks to the driver of Xiao Mo for his caring, thoughtful, meticulous and warm arrangements and guides ❤️❤️❤️ Let us experience the superb beauty and service 🌹🌹🌹 This trip is very happy and enjoyable! Will go to Qinghai Lake again, looking forward to meeting Master Xiao Mo 😊
The second time I went to Qinghai Lake, the smell of mulberry leaves became a lot heavier. But the scenery is still beautiful, you can see flying seagulls everywhere, the lake is also very clear, and there are many more facilities on the sea.

Qinghai Lake has been there many times from summer to winter. This time I chose Erlangjian Cruise Package for my parents to buy tickets. There are professional personnel to explain to you which is more cost-effective. The supporting facilities of the scenic spot are also very complete. There are Jingyu and squid in the peninsula by boat. You can feed seagulls and Fish
The guide introduction of the entire scenic spot is lacking. There will be no direction for passengers who have just entered the scenic spot. Others are not bad, and a little thought has been spent. Some scenery sketches and price control are good

Not only did Princess Wencheng look back at the location of Chang'an, but it was also the famous Silk Road Qinghai Road, the boundary between nomadic and agricultural farming. There are two museums that are particularly amazing to me. There are not many people. Few people go in to visit, but the sincere recommendation of children is equivalent to studying.
The scenery of the northwest in summer is quite good. The vast grassland scenery is a flock of cattle and sheep. Look at the Wencheng Princess Temple as if you have seen the important impact of the princess's thoughts on the hometown of the game on the development of the West Region!

The scenery is good, but the battery car in the scenic spot is not recommended to buy, a bit worth the fare, if you want to see it all, most of them still have to walk, but there are a lot of wildlife inside, it is not recommended to go at noon, because there are many animals sleeping at noon, the aquarium has to buy tickets separately, just like the panda pavilion, But there are still a lot of animals inside.
Outdoor large zoo, many species, it is worth visiting, but unfortunately a few pandas are all sleeping, the only snow leopard is also sleeping, rabbits are all in the small black room can not come out
