Qinghai-Gansu Loop | One of the most worthwhile travel routes
Qinghai-Gansu Loop | One of the most worthwhile travel routes!! ||| The Northwest is really a gathering place for peculiar landforms! Salt lakes, Yardang landforms, water Yardang, Devil City, deserts, canyons, snow mountains, Danxia and so on, the scenery in the geography book finally saw in reality!
1⃣️Transportation🚗
If you choose to charter a car, carpool or follow a group, you basically start from Xining. There are four, seven, nine or bus seats. There are many drivers who walk the loop. This time I was really lucky to meet the experienced little fat brother and super matching companions. Little fat brother really helped us avoid a lot of thunder, enter the scenic spot when there are the fewest people, take us to catch the good weather into the scenic spot, so even if it is the May Day season we go to see Qinghai Lake Emerald Lake Water Yardang Chaka Salt Lake Xiaochaidan are sunny! Little fat brother will also give us drone and mobile phone photos, really good at finding angles!
2⃣️Accommodation🏨
If the itinerary is confirmed, you can book the hotel as soon as possible. I booked all the hotels for May Day at the end of March, catching up with the time when the price did not rise. If you confirm to travel in the peak season of July and August, you must book early.
3⃣️Food🥣
The Northwest is really delicious! Every meal is full of beef and mutton!
1. Yogurt: The yogurt here has a yellow skin on the surface
2. Kang pot: Very flavorful! The potato slices inside are like chips.
3. Stewed bread: Must order mutton stewed bread, camel meat is a bit unaccustomed.
4. Hand-grabbed mutton: Not smelly, super fragrant.
5. Eight-treasure tea: The more you brew, the sweeter it is
6. Beef noodles: The noodles are chewy and the soup is delicious
7. Milk fermented glutinous rice eggs: Like dessert
8. Yak earth hot pot: A bit ordinary, the dipping sauce is not very good.
9. Roast whole lamb: Eight people come down to only over a hundred per person, opening the sheep is very ceremonial, the meat is tender but the spices are not enough.
10. Pepper chicken: The meat is tender
4⃣️Essential items👗🕶️🎩
1. Clothes: The weather in the Northwest is a bit changeable, you can bring clothes for all four seasons, if the sun is out, wearing a skirt is no problem, but it snowed when I walked to Qilian Mountain on the last day.
2. Sunglasses and hats: Sometimes the wind is strong and blows sand, so wear them to keep warm and windproof.
3. Bring slippers or rent shoe covers: It's hard to clean shoes in Mingsha Mountain and Salt Lake
4. U-shaped pillow: Every day on the road to various attractions, it's much more comfortable to sleep in the car with a U-shaped pillow
5. Student ID: Tickets are half price for students, and some attractions are free for people from Zhejiang
6. Power bank: The time on the road is too long, basically only at the hotel at night.
7. Sunscreen or sun protection products: The sun here really stings the skin
5⃣️About group tours
The mechanism here in the Northwest is a bit strange, many people report different things and they are inexplicably put together. Some are only carpooling, some are car fees plus accommodation, some are all expenses, and even travel agencies and drivers communicate very little, hotel locations, performance times, ticket times are all different, but the arrangements of little fat brother are really good, all the places that should go will go, if you can get together a car charter together is the best.
There are too many annual vacations to use. I took my parents out to hang out and walked the Qinggan Dahuan Line. My parents are still quite satisfied with this place. I think it is quite fun. I personally think it is so-so, but compared to his fame, you have to come to Qinghai to Qinggan Dahuan Line.
To be honest, you can’t say that this scenic spot is not beautiful, but for people in the south of the Yangtze River, I really don’t have a cold on the lake. I felt that the reputation here was very beautiful before I came. After I came in, there was still a big gap with expectations, but it was beautiful. There are snow-capped mountains and the blue sky that can’t be seen in the mainland.
Tianshu is particularly good if it is worth going! Otherwise, you can't see the beautiful scenery! Then be sure to apply sun protection or wear sun protection clothes, otherwise you will experience what is sun exposure! You can't pull yourself out! But it's worth going! Chong Chong!
The perfect trip for three days and two nights, we met the invincible handsome driver brother Adaqu! Adaqu goes anywhere! Warm and hospitable, and also has a very perfect photography technology. My friend and I have him as the best Qinghai driver! The hotels are good, clean and hygienic, with floor heating. In the scenic area, the journey on the third day was beautiful. I encountered a blizzard two days ago. The blizzard in May was very exciting and had a special flavor. One word, cool. Perfect experience, come back next time!
The first time I came to Chaka Salt Lake, it coincided with the May Day holiday scenic spot free tickets, I feel great, the scenic spot is very own characteristics, the staff service is very thoughtful, the fly in the ointment is cloudy, I did not experience the mirror of the sky, but it doesn't matter, we will see you next time.
It is worth a day trip. Master Ma is very enthusiastic. He will explain to us when he encounters special points on the road. The driving is also very smooth. Every attraction has enough time to take good-looking photos, which meets our imaginations of Jingyu and Snow Mountain. The weather was not very good when I arrived at Chaka Salt Lake in the afternoon, a little snowy, a little regrettable, I didn't take a good-looking sky, I must come to the second brush if I have the opportunity! Pick the weather to definitely see the super beautiful salt lake scenery, when the return trip, the road snowstorm, Ma Master is very cautious and stable, highly recommended!
It is recommended to go to a place, Qinghai Lake is quiet! The real mirror of the sky in Chaka Salt Lake! Super!
There is no invisible consumption throughout the whole process, and the internal consumption of the scenic spot is also very clear. Whether shopping is also based on personal wishes. The driver is more stable and pays attention to safety. The tour guide Cheng Xun is very good. The whole process is also very detailed, funny and humorous. Sincere, recommend ~
