Introduction Sandboarding in Qinghaihu

Introduction
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Although the area around Qinghai Lake is mainly composed of lakes and grasslands, there are also desert areas, which provide unique natural conditions for sand sliding activities. While enjoying the excitement and fun brought by sand sliding, tourists can also overlook the magnificent scenery of Qinghai Lake and experience the unique landscape of desert and lake coexistence. Sand sliding allows tourists to slide down naturally from the top of a high sand hill on a skateboard. As the slope of the sand hill increases and the speed of sliding increases, tourists can feel the strong speed and passion. Here tourists can experience the fun of sand sliding of different difficulty levels on different sand dunes, which is a full experience.

The last two photos are from Qinghai Lake and Chaka Salt Lake a few years ago, where both the sky and the water were very clear. D1 It was snowy, rainy, windy, and cold, and there wasn't much scenery to see. D2 Although it was overcast, Emerald Lake was still very beautiful and not so affected by the weather. Gansu's Yellow River melons are very delicious, and I had to have one every day. It is recommended to visit Crescent Lake in the morning when it is cool and less crowded. The theme song 'Youth under the Moon' of Lively Dunhuang is very nice to listen to, and you can experience it if you have time. 💰Average cost per person: 7100; Airfare 3050; Group fee 2718 (including chartered car + hotel + attraction entrance tickets); Small transportation at attractions + in-attraction activities 732; Meal cost 600. 📌Little Tips: It's very cold when it snows in Qinghai, and when you get to Dunhuang, it's dry and hot weather at 30°C, which may cause symptoms of altitude sickness and heatstroke. The Huoxiang Zhengqi Water recommended by locals is very practical and can help with both altitude sickness and heatstroke.

Xining

Xining

Getting there: you need to get to Xining first. There are many high speed trains from other areas to Xining railway station. If you want to visit Qinghaihu, After arriving at the railway station, follow the English signs to the long distance bus station and buy a bus ticket to Qinghai. Costs 20yuan one way. Most buses run in the morning starting at 9am. Or you can ask your hostel to arrange a shared car to Qinghaihu and other attractions along the way. One person costs 150yuan in a car share with 3 other travelers. Attractions around Xining: I only stayed there 2 nights and spent one whole day in Qinghaihu so I only saw 2 attractions: a Tibetan temple on the way to Qinghaihu and the lake itself. The temple costs 46yuan and the lake is 92yuan. If you’re interested in history, the Tibetan temple is an interesting place to visit. You’ll learn about the history of Tibet and Wencheng Princess who married Gampo (King of Tibet at that time) during Tang Dynasty. There’s a statue of the Princess in the Temple. Qinghaihu is a beautiful lake but in my opinion, there isn’t much to see and the price is expensive. Most of the lake is closed for protection and you can only access it from Erliangjian. After buying the ticket for 92 yuan, you can rent an electric bike to bike around the area or get an electric car (20yuan one way) to take you directly to the lake and that’s it. Foods: Xining is known for Yak meat. I found a good restaurant near my hotel (see the picture). It costs 100yuan for a portion of yak meat, a cup of chamomile tea, a dish of broccoli (very fresh and delicious), and a yogurt desert. You can also buy yak meat jerky. Next to Wangjifu shopping mall is the night market where you can find a whole line of street foods after shopping.

Biggest salt water lake in China

Qinghai Lake, nestled in China's Qinghai Province, is the largest saltwater lake in East Asia, covering approximately 4,600 square kilometers. Its beauty lies in its serene, azure waters and the surrounding Tibetan Plateau's majestic landscapes. At an elevation of 3,205 meters, the lake is a vital ecological hotspot, home to diverse avian species and unique aquatic life. The lake holds cultural significance for Tibetans and the local Tibetan-Qiang people. It's a site for various religious ceremonies and festivals. However, environmental concerns, like shrinking water levels due to climate change and pollution, pose significant challenges to its preservation. Conservation efforts are underway to safeguard this remarkable natural treasure. #timetotravel #China #nature

Plateau Holy Lake | Qinghai Lake

Plateau Holy Lake | Qinghai Lake

The sky is azure, the sun is bright. In the distance, verdant mountains contrast with the vast lake, like a flowing painting. On the grassland by the lake, clusters of wildflowers bloom in competition, forming an interesting picture with the leisurely cows and sheep. The lake surface is sparkling, gently exuding a blue glow, like a dreamy fairyland. The charm of Qinghai Lake lies not only in its magnificent natural scenery, but also in its profound historical culture and rich human landscape. On the northeast shore of the lake, there is the famous Bird Island, which is a gathering place for various birds. Every spring, tens of thousands of migratory birds nest and reproduce here, forming a vivid ecological picture. Qinghai Lake is also a sacred place in the hearts of Tibetans. According to legend, it is a drop of sweet dew sprinkled by Guanyin Bodhisattva, which turned into clear lake water. Every year, thousands of Tibetans spontaneously go to Qinghai Lake for pilgrimage and sacrifice, forming a unique religious and cultural landscape.

I'm back from Qinghai Lake, and let me tell you the truth: I came to this city because of a song.

I'm back from Qinghai Lake, and let me tell you the truth: I came to this city because of a song.

Have you ever been drawn to a city by a song? The lyrics "The water of Qinghai Lake, as blue as a dream, the sky reflected on the lake's surface, clouds floating between the water" from the song "Qinghai Lake" inspired my February trip to Qinghai Lake. Check out this guide! 📍Qinghai Lake, located in the northeastern part of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, is China's largest inland saltwater lake. Its waters resemble deep blue sapphires, surrounded by vast grasslands and snow-capped mountains. It's a melting pot of cultures, including Tibetan and Mongolian, with rich traditions. Nature and humanity blend seamlessly here. 🚌Transportation Guide ✈️Airplane: Fly to Xining Caojiabao International Airport and transfer to the city center by airport bus or taxi. To reach Qinghai Lake, you can take a special tourist bus and enjoy the scenery along the way, or hire a car for a more flexible itinerary, stopping at scenic spots as you please. 🚌Local Transportation: Sightseeing buses connect attractions around the scenic area. For a more immersive experience, try horseback riding or renting a motorcycle from the local herders. 🗺Itinerary Day 1: Xining - Erlangjian Scenic Area of Qinghai Lake Depart from Xining in the morning and head to the Erlangjian Scenic Area. Along the way, grasslands and mountains gradually come into view. Upon arrival, the deep blue lake water will captivate you. In February, the lake surface is mostly frozen, with ice cracks resembling exquisite artwork. Stroll along the lake, listen to the waves lapping the shore, and watch the water birds play. Day 2: Qinghai Lake Sunrise - Sha Island Scenic Area (if open) - Eastern Ring Road Wake up early in the morning to witness the sunrise over Qinghai Lake. As the first rays of light touch the frozen lake, the golden glow instantly illuminates the world, creating a breathtaking spectacle. If Sha Island is open, visit it in the morning to admire the unique landscape where sand and lake meet, with beautifully contoured sand dunes. In the afternoon, cycle along the Eastern Ring Road, get closer to Qinghai Lake, and experience the poetic scenery of grasslands, cattle, and sheep. Day 3: Qinghai Lake Sacrifice Terrace - Return Trip Visit the Sacrifice Terrace to learn about the Tibetan tradition of lake worship and their reverence for the lake. Overlooking Qinghai Lake from this vantage point evokes a sense of serenity and awe. Afterward, return with a peaceful and unforgettable experience. 🌟Must-See Attractions 1. Erlangjian Scenic Area of Qinghai Lake: An iconic spot for close-up views of the lake. The frozen lake surface in February is unique, and the peninsula in the lake resembles a sword piercing the water, creating a magnificent sight. 2. Qinghai Lake Sunrise Viewing Point: Wait for the sunrise on the high ground by the lake and watch the sun pierce through the clouds, painting the sky and earth in vibrant colors. It's an unforgettable visual feast. 3. Sha Island Scenic Area (if open): The juxtaposition of desert and lake water creates a striking yet harmonious coexistence, showcasing the wonders of nature. 4. Qinghai Lake Sacrifice Terrace: Experience Tibetan culture and appreciate the sacredness of Qinghai Lake. 💕Travel Experience Qinghai Lake exceeded my expectations! Just as the song describes, the lake water is as blue as a dream. The tranquility, magnificence, sunrise glow, and cultural heritage captivated me, washing away all my worries. I just wanted to freeze these beautiful moments in time. 🍜Food Recommendations 1. Qinghai Lake Naked Carp: This fish from the lake has tender flesh. The farmed variety is delicious steamed or in soup, offering a fresh and flavorful, nutritious meal. 2. Tsampa: A traditional Tibetan staple made from roasted barley flour. It's often served with butter tea and sugar, providing a sweet, portable, and energizing treat. 3. Hand-Grabbed Mutton: High-quality mutton is boiled and eaten by hand, dipped in salt and pepper. The meat is tender, not gamey, and incredibly fragrant. 💡Tips 1. Qinghai Lake is cold in February, so pack warm clothing such as down jackets and thermal underwear. 2. The high altitude can cause altitude sickness. Prepare anti-altitude sickness medication in advance and avoid strenuous activities upon arrival. 3. Respect local customs. Do not take photos in Tibetan communities without permission and observe the rules when visiting temples. Come and embark on this highland adventure to Qinghai Lake! I believe you'll fall in love with it too💕
