Qinghai Lake | The right way to visit without spending a penny

After going there 4 times, I finally unlocked the blue sea and blue sky of Qinghai Lake Compared to the crowded Erlangjian Scenic Area The Ring Road is the best way to open Qinghai Lake Even if you don't get off the car, the beautiful scenery in the car is enough to make you feel moved. ---- 📌Dongger Viewpoint We started from Chaka Salt Lake, navigated all the way to the "Dongel Viewing Platform", and walked along the West Lake around the lake, and you can easily start your journey around the lake. Dongger Viewing Platform is a high ground overlooking the lake. There are parking lots, toilets and tents nearby for afternoon tea. It is free of charge and you can enjoy the beautiful Qinghai Lake with few people here. ---- 📌Qinghai Lake Cliff The Qinghai Lake Cliff is a super classic place where you can get close to the water. You can directly navigate to "Qinghai Lake Cliff" to get there. There is no entrance fee at present, but you need to take a shuttle bus for 20 yuan per person to reach the lake (it is much more valuable than the 90 yuan ticket for Erlangjian). ---- Compared with the East Ring Road, the West Ring Road has much fewer people (because of the long distance, many travel agencies will not choose this road). The Black Horse River and Fairy Lake along the way are also very picturesque. If you have enough energy, you can go down and walk. This time we collectively chose to watch from a distance in the car. I think it’s very comfortable to sit in the car and drive, haha ---- Hit the key points Take Huanhu West Road Get me to Donger Viewpoint Give me the Little Cliff Don't ever go to Erlangjian again! ! !
