Qinghai Lake is definitely a m

Qinghai Lake is definitely a must-see scenic spot during the Republic trip! As long as the weather is good, the scenery of lakes and mountains under the blue sky and white clouds is completely the "must visit in my lifetime" series, and the mood follows the clear sky. This time I mainly ran Qinghai Lake to see the magnificent natural scenery and feel the shock of China's largest saltwater lake. Even though the self-driving journey is farther, the lakeside view is super wide, it is simply the right healing "quack" beautiful destination for everyone!

Attraction inventory recommendation

Qinghai Lake
📍Address: North side of National Road 109, Gangcha County, Haibei Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture
⏰Open all day all year
Tickets: ¥72.0

As the largest lake in China, Qinghai Lake not only overlooks the invincible sky blue lake, but also can overlook the distant mountain grassland, June-August when the rapeseed flowers are in full bloom, there are many viewpoints along the lake to take pictures, take pictures and relax. There is also a Tibetan folk village and small stalls where you can buy local souvenirs by the lake.

Tip: Since Lake Qinghai is located on a plateau and the climate changes greatly, remember to bring an extra jacket and hat to avoid the sudden strong wind! If you like cycling, the Qinghai Lake Race route is very popular, and you can rent a bicycle to travel around the lake—the scenery is no worse than abroad.
