Traveling in the sky and the secrets of the plateau "Qinghai, my hometown: Traveling in the sky and the secrets of the plateau
Qinghai Lake in summer is a blue paradise. Qinghai, my hometown, has countless beautiful scenery waiting for you to explore. This time, let us walk into the realm of the sky and the secret realm of the plateau together.
First stop: Skyland Salt Lake
The salt lake located in the Qaidam Basin is the home of the Sky Realm. Every year when spring and summer turn around, the lake surface is like a huge mirror, reflecting the sky. Clouds float in the lake, and it seems as if you are between heaven and earth. The beauty of the salt lake can only be truly felt by stepping on it yourself.
Second stop: Qilian Mountain Grassland
Leaving the salt lake, we headed to our next stop: Qilian Mountain Grassland. There are unique natural scenery and rich wildlife resources here. The grassland is green in summer and is a natural summer resort. Don’t forget to experience activities such as horse riding and grass skiing to feel the charm of the plateau. Third stop: the mysterious Ta'er Monastery
As one of the landmark buildings in Qinghai, Ta'er Temple is a treasure of Buddhist art. There are not only exquisite Buddhist murals and sculptures here, but also profound cultural heritage. Visit Ta'er Temple and experience the history and culture of Qinghai. Stop 4: Natural wonder: the source of the Yellow River
Finally, we arrived at the source of the Yellow River, Kariqu. The river water here is crystal clear and the scenery on both sides is picturesque. Standing on the bank of the Yellow River source, you can imagine the magnificence and greatness of the Yellow River. This is a journey not to be missed.
