On a journey through the Northwest, Delingha, a small city surrounded by the Gobi Desert, always sparks endless imagination. Some say it's a city of poetry, others say it's the end of desolation,

but I just want to say – the beauty here far exceeds your imagination 🌌

[Must-Visit Attractions]
✨Kuluk Lake - Tosu Lake Nature Reserve
This is a paradise for photography enthusiasts! Two distinctly different lakes complement each other beautifully: Kuluk Lake shimmers with blue waves, while Tosu Lake is a silvery white. Special tip: The best time to visit is early morning or evening, when the light hitting the lake surface is absolutely stunning (📍Address: 30 km southwest of Delingha City)

✨Delingha Astronomical Science Museum
You'd never expect such a cool science museum hidden deep in the Gobi Desert! The 360-degree dome theater is a must-experience. Remember to check the stargazing activity schedule for the day in advance (📍Address: No. 18 Changjiang Road, Delingha City)

✨Bayan Riverfront
Taking a stroll here in the evening is a favorite pastime for locals. When the lights along the riverbank illuminate, it feels like being in a fairy tale world, and every casual shot turns into a masterpiece 📸

[Practical Tips]
1️⃣ The plateau's UV rays are incredibly strong! Make sure to bring sunglasses + sunscreen + a hat – the complete set.
2️⃣ For food, we recommend trying 'kang yang pai' (roasted lamb ribs) and yak yogurt. The dishes from the old brand "Gaoyuanhong Food City" are the most authentic (📍No. 112 Changjiang Middle Road)
3️⃣ May to October is the best travel season; many scenic spots close in winter.
4️⃣ Friends driving should make sure to fill up their gas tank, as gas stations can be far apart on some sections of the road.
