The whole family traveled together, the tour leader was very good, and the whole trip was very worry-free. The journey was quite long, and I was glad to choose a small group so that I could sleep comfortably on the road. The scenery was beautiful, and the weather was very comfortable in summer, not hot at all. In short, I was very satisfied
The colorful Danxia that we visited in the morning was cloudy at first, and the scenery did not look as gorgeous as it was on the Internet. After 10 o'clock in the morning, the sun came out, and the colorful Danxia suddenly shone brightly under the sunlight, especially the last viewing platform is worth recommending!

The scenic area is very good. It is not as crowded as imagined. It is well organized. Take a small train to enter and then walk out slowly. It is more than five kilometers. You can take a break and take pictures while walking. It is very good. There are many places to eat around the scenic area, so you won't be hungry. There is a luggage storage in the tourist center, which is very convenient. It is a five-minute walk from Chaka Railway Station. It is quite convenient
It's worth a visit. The scenery is beautiful, but the altitude is high, about 3,500 meters. You must prevent altitude sickness, otherwise you will not be in the mood to play. The weather factor is very important here at Chaka Salt Lake. It's not so beautiful on rainy days. You must do a good job of sun protection to protect yourself from strong ultraviolet rays.

The scenic spot ticket includes 3 locations. The sightseeing bus in Jiayuguan Pass is included in the ticket, but if you go to the other two attractions: the Hanging Wall Great Wall and the First Pier, you need to take a taxi separately. The scenic spot also provides vehicles (20 yuan fare), and there is also a sightseeing bus in the First Pier, which costs 12 yuan at your own expense (you can choose not to take it). There is not much content in the scenic spot. There are explanations in the pass (at your own expense, both electronic and manual, the manual one is a little more expensive, but you can join a group). It is recommended to hire one, otherwise you may not understand anything. The Hanging Wall Great Wall is just climbing, pure climbing, and there are no other entertainment projects. There is no explanation for the First Pier, and there are relatively few attractions. It depends on personal opinion whether it is good or not, after all, you are here. This is basically the only attraction that can be visited in Jiayuguan City.
110 is a package ticket, including three attractions, which cannot be purchased separately. We went to Jiayuguan Pass first, and wanted to park somewhere closer. As a result, the navigation guided us for a long time, but we couldn't find it unless the road was under construction, so we had to park in the scenic area parking lot. Now the shuttle bus is free, so we went directly there. After visiting the pass, the Great Wall Museum was closed. This is very unfriendly in summer, because it is too sunny during the day, and we usually come here in the afternoon and evening.
It took 10 to 20 minutes to drive to the Hanging Wall Great Wall. You can park for free. The children think climbing here is more interesting than the pass.
I went to the No. 1 Dun in the World when I was going to Dunhuang on the highway, but I didn't go because I didn't have time.
The place is good, but I really hate the forced sale of packages like this.

There are industrial development sites everywhere. The 40-minute bus ride to the scenic area is really unremarkable. The scenery of each salt lake is almost the same. The only thing worth praising is probably the catering at the exit of the scenic area. Considering that there is nothing to eat within a two or three hour drive around, the catering service is great, especially the rice noodles are very good!
The most beautiful salt lake in Qinghai. You can take a bus from the tourist center to the scenic area, and then take a sightseeing bus to the last stop of the scenic area, and then walk back to enjoy the scenery. As the light changes, the green color of the lake changes, from light green to dark green to emerald green. It is very beautiful. There are many lakes and the lake surface is wide. It is worth a look!

The Erlangjian Scenic Area was a bit of a surprise. I could actually see a large lake that looked like the sea, snow-capped mountains in the distance, and a large lake nearby. The scenery was really beautiful. The beach by the lake was fine, and seagulls were flying around. It felt like I was at the seaside in an instant. The train went back and forth, which was great. After all, the journey was too long, and it relieved a lot of fatigue.
I have been to Qinghai Lake many times, from summer to winter. This time I went with my parents and chose the Erlangjian cruise package. There are professional staff to explain the ticket purchase and tell you which one is more cost-effective. The supporting facilities of the scenic area are also very complete. When you take a boat into the peninsula, there are prayer flags and Huangyu. You can feed seagulls and fish in the water next to you.

The beauty of Qinghai Lake is well-deserved! Thank you to the driver Xiao Mo for his considerate, thoughtful, meticulous and warm arrangements and guidance ❤️❤️❤️ Let us experience the wonderful scenery and service 🌹🌹🌹 This trip was very happy and enjoyable! I will go to Qinghai Lake again and look forward to meeting Master Xiao Mo again😊
The second time I went to Qinghai Lake, the smell of mulberry leaves became much stronger. But the scenery was still beautiful, flying seagulls could be seen everywhere, the lake water was also very clear, and there were many more recreational facilities on the sea.

The scenery is very beautiful. I and everyone like this scenic spot very much. This scenic spot is very rich in natural scenery, as well as scenery, and there are many historical sites and monuments. There are also many enthusiastic staff. They all like this scenic spot very much. This scenic spot is simply great. I like this scenic spot very much
A place that is easy to miss. The Thousand Buddha Caves and the Horse-Shoe Temple are both very beautiful, but a little far away. Most people go there by car, and there are not many tour groups. There are rape flowers on the way back to Zhangye this season, it is worth stopping to take pictures.

The scenery is still very shocking! Visitors can climb up the mountain and then go down the water slide. It costs 75 yuan per person, which is still okay! It's a little like the colorful Danxia. The scenery of Qilian Mountain is pleasant.
Zhuoer Mountain Scenic Area is located on the edge of Qilian County, Qinghai Province. If you live in Qilian County, you can drive there in 10 minutes.
Zhuoer Mountain belongs to Danxia landform, with red exposed rocks, endless green grassland, yellow rapeseed fields, and snow-capped peaks of Qilian Mountain in the distance. The scenery is so beautiful that it deserves the reputation of Oriental Little Switzerland.
Recommended for summer travel!
Pay attention to sun protection and wear thicker clothes. It is still a bit cold on the top of the mountain.
There will be no altitude sickness if you go up slowly.
We happened to encounter the Qinghai Lake 🚴🏻♀️ cycling race. Qilian County closed the road at 7 o'clock in the morning, so we had to leave Qilian County in advance and arrived at the entrance of Zhuoer Mountain Scenic Area before 7 o'clock. I thought I had to wait at the door for 1 hour because the scenic area opened at 8 o'clock, but I didn't expect the scenic area to go to work early and check tickets at 7 o'clock. Like 👍👍👍

It's so beautiful that it makes no sense. It's very photogenic.
You need to make a careful plan beforehand. We didn't arrange it well, and the kids kept taking photos, which resulted in a bit of time constraints. As a result, we gave up one or two attractions. But we saw the main ones.
The weather is very important. It's so beautiful on a sunny day.
God's palette sprinkled on the northwest land
Blue, green, yellow... like pieces of jade inlaid on the ground
Thousands of miles of jade, boundless blue sky
I have to admire the magic of nature
Take the saltiest road to see the jade left in the world
Be fascinated at first sight, and slowly be amazed
Photos can't capture the actual beauty
I believe everyone who comes here will be shocked
Friends who love taking pictures can experience the Internet celebrity's aerial photography crystal boat, which is very photogenic

This is my second time in Chaka. Last time I went to the Chaka Salt Lake Scenic Area, and this time I came to the Sky No. 1 Scenic Area. It felt good, but the weather was not good. However, there was no wind, and the reflections could still be photographed. The route of the small train was more reasonable.
This place is quite famous, but the view really depends on the weather. The sky mirror that is advertised is usually not visible, there is no reflection at all, all is white salt fields, as if frozen. It's just average.
