All set for your trip! Complete Outfit Guide for Qinghai-Gansu Loop in May–June

📸 Planning a trip to the Qinghai-Gansu Grand Loop in May–June? Wondering what to wear? Save this practical outfit guide now! **Qinghai Lake** 👗 **Outfit recommendation:** Light-colored sweater paired with a flowing white maxi dress, topped with an ethnic-style shawl. The lakeside is windy—the shawl keeps you warm while adding flair to your photos. Opt for bright colors for stunning shots. 👢 **Footwear:** Ankle boots or combat boots with water-resistant features are ideal for easy walking. **Chaka Salt Lake** 👗 **Outfit recommendation:** A bright-colored maxi dress with a full skirt (e.g., red, yellow, or blue) paired with transparent rain boots. The lake reflects light intensely, so sunglasses are a must. Let the dress flutter in the wind for a dreamy vibe. **U-shaped Highway (G315)** 👖 **Outfit recommendation:** A cool denim or cargo pants set with ankle boots and sunglasses for an edgy road-trip look. Channel biker chic to stand out on the highway. **Dunhuang Desert** 👗 **Outfit recommendation:** A black slip dress with a red scarf for silhouette shots at sunset. Go barefoot in the sand for a natural, carefree feel. **Zhangye Danxia** 👖 **Outfit recommendation:** A simple solid-color T-shirt with high-waisted jeans and a cowboy hat. Against the vibrant Danxia landscape, minimalist outfits highlight the scenery’s grandeur. **Qilian Grasslands** 👗 **Outfit recommendation:** A floral dress with a cardigan for a fresh countryside look. Add a straw hat and a woven bag for charming photos with grazing livestock. **Weather & Sun Protection** 🌡️ Temperatures in May–June range from 10–20°C (50–68°F) during the day, but mornings and evenings are cooler with frequent wind and sand. Lip balm, face coverings, and masks are handy. ☀️ The desert has strong UV rays—prioritize sun protection. Choose UPF50+ white or light-colored sun jackets with inner cooling layers. Long sleeves like thin sweaters or cardigans are great for cooler times. **Clothing Tips** 👖 **Bottoms:** Quick-dry wide-leg pants with cuffs keep sand out; cargo pants with multiple pockets are practical. For photos, pack colorful or solid maxi dresses in wind-resistant fabrics. 🧥 **Outerwear:** A lightweight, packable down jacket or windbreaker is essential for chilly nights. **Footwear Picks** 👟 High-top sand-proof shoes, sneakers, or combat boots keep sand out while ensuring comfort. For the Singing Sand Dunes and Crescent Lake, bring sandals for convenience. **Accessory Suggestions** 🕶️ **Sun protection:** Wide-brimmed hats, sunglasses, and UV masks or versatile scarves shield against sun and sand. 🎀 **Styling extras:** Ethnic earrings and colorful scarves add flair to outfits and elevate your photos. **Camel Riding at Singing Sand Dunes** 🧕 Pair a Dunhuang-style shawl with cargo pants and combat boots, plus bright orange sand covers for a functional yet photogenic look. This guide covers all scenarios on the Qinghai-Gansu Loop. If you’d like adjustments or additions, let me know! *Images and text sourced online; contact for removal if infringing.*
