    "The weather was not very good when I went, the wind and sand were very big, and I would go into the sand with sunglasses. Be sure to pick a good weather. There are Dixes in the scenic area, and it is more convenient to eat. The Dixes in the innermost area of the car do not order online. Be careful not to order the wrong one outside."

    Highlights: The Water Yadan Geopark, located in the hinderland of Qaidam Basin, Haixi Prefecture, is a park featuring the Yadan landform. It was formed by the rising lake—Ginel—that gradually inundated the northern margin of the Yadan group, just like a vast ocean in the endless desert out of nowhere. Wind-eroded sandstones in different shapes and clear water are set against each other. With the sun shining on them, the pillars and their reflections appear to have risen to the midair, like magic castles suspended in the sky.

    Highlights: Located in Golmud City, Qinghai Province, the inland Chaerhan Salt Lake is huge and well known across the world. Qinghai-Tibet Railway runs through the lake. The lands around the lake are flat, with boundless desert and exotic landscape. On a clear day, the vast mirror-like lake reflects shimmering silver lights with steaming. It is like a green ocean.

    "The continuous green mountains and mountains, coupled with the blue sky, are a paradise for wildlife survival, and a place full of "wildness", containing the rich and complete biological gene bank of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, but for humans, it is not so easy to step into Cocoa Xili. It is called the "human exclusion zone", and it is rare to see people all year round. Climate change is actually very fast. It will start to be high in the absence of oxygen. If you are lucky, yaks and Tibetan antelopes are numerous, but there are also beasts. Don't get off at will, and brown bears and wolves appear in minutes."

    Highlights: "HohXil" means "blue mountain ridge" in Mongolian. The Tibetan language calls the area "Achin Gongga". It is one of the areas where the original environment is well preserved, and it is also one of the nature reserves built in China with a larger area, higher altitude and richer wildlife resources. Hoh Xil has a severe cold climate and harsh natural conditions, making it impossible for humans to live for a long time. It is known as a "forbidden zone for life".

    "We went to 2020 and there was no charge. According to the chartered driver, there will be charges in the future. The parking lot has parked a lot of cars. I feel that there are more tourists than the water Yadan. The road from the parking lot to the lake is actually made of salt. After a white flowered salt flat, I finally saw the legendary Dongtai Jinel Lake. Unfortunately, the water area is so small that it is not the Maldives that is known as China in the photo. In August 2020, the claimed water area is 238 square kilometers. We only saw a river, a green river."

    Highlights: Dongtai Jinaier Lake is located in Golmud City, in the Qaidam Basin. It is an extra-large lithium deposit dominated by brine, so it also creates the fascinating scenery of Dongtai Jinai Lake.

    "Tanggula Pass is the highest altitude on the Qinghai-Tibet line, with an altitude of 5300 meters. The air here is thin, the natural conditions are harsh, and the oxygen content is less than 70% of the plain area."

    Highlights: Tanggula Mountain Pass is the dividing line between Qinghai and Tibet provinces (regions), with an altitude of about 5231 meters. "Tanggula", Tibetan "mountain on a high mountain", is known as "wind and snow warehouse" due to the wind and snow all year round. Tanggula Mountain is the watershed between the Yangtze River and the Nujiang River, also known as Dangla Mountain and Dangkong Ridge. The mountain is more than 150 kilometers wide and is mostly 5,000-6,000 meters above sea level. Its main peak, Gradandong, is more than 6,000 meters above sea level. Origin of the river. The Hoh Xil no-man's land at its feet is a comfortable pasture for endangered wild animals such as Tibetan antelope.
