Anonymous userThis place is absolutely (possibly the most) worthy of its hype and online popularity on the Qinghai-Gansu Grand Loop. It's breathtakingly beautiful, like a fairyland. Just be mindful of the weather (cloudy days will significantly diminish the scenery) and be careful about water (although there are shoe covers for going into the lake, leaks can still occur).

羊猫树The Thangka paintings were truly breathtaking, especially because of their length. There seemed to be very few staff members; there wasn't a single person at the service desk. I really wished I could hire a guide. Otherwise, I was completely confused. Hopefully, more guided tours will be available in the future.

壹興-賈勝伟¥仰望Kumbum Monastery is not large, but it was the first time I felt a different kind of faith, prayer, and protection. At such an altitude, there are so many believers... Anyway, those who are interested can come and see for themselves.

M25***94The bus costs 60 yuan per person, and the ride is really long, haha. The colors of the scenic area are beautiful, very beautiful. You must go when the weather is good, otherwise it's not really green or emerald green.

Anonymous userThe Water Yadan is beautiful, and it largely met my expectations. Overall, it was a good experience and quite good. It met my expectations in most aspects and is worth recommending. I might choose it again in the future, and I hope to have an even better experience next time.

E11***34The water level is low in winter, but there are also fewer people, which is quite nice. The scenery is beautiful, better than Chaka Salt Lake, and you can get closer to the water there as well. There are pools of various colors. Hiking among the pools is very pleasant.

M27***15Mr. Ren was enthusiastic and interesting, and introduced a lot of interesting information along the way. Although Chaka Salt Lake was dry in winter, and Riyue Mountain and Qinghai Lake were also very cold, it was still a very unique one-day trip overall. The other travelers were also very nice. It was more than expected to visit so many places in one day!

SDDSDDThe park exhibits over 180 species and more than 3,000 wild animals, making it the world's only zoo that integrates captive-bred populations of snow leopards, Himalayan vultures, and Pallas's cats. Guests can see rare animals unique to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, such as snow leopards, Tibetan antelopes, and wild yaks, as well as introduced species like hippos and giraffes.

沫沫然_The Qinghai-Tibet border landscape is breathtaking, the fluttering prayer flags create a wonderful atmosphere, and the legend of Princess Wencheng adds to the charm! A must-see for anyone passing through, the scenery is magnificent, the Tibetan culture is rich, and the price is great!

M35***28The hotel does not have a navigation system, so it is best to ask the hotel staff before going. The staff was very attentive and even upgraded us to a larger RV for free, which was very nice (。•̀ᴗ-)
