April Travel | Just returned from the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau Loop, those who want to go, take my advice!

Just returned from the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau Loop, those who want to go, take my advice!. I thought the most beautiful season in Qinghai and Gansu was from June to August In reality, come to the great Northwest in April-May You'll be greeted with one surprise after another No noisy crowds, no endless queuing There are very few tourists at each attraction The weather isn't as cold as imagined Xining and Gansu have temperatures in the teens during the day Qinghai Lake is also thawing and opening Just wear a windproof and warm jacket in the morning and evening P1-P are real shots from these days, my social media is blowing up with questions How wonderful is it to travel to Qinghai and Gansu in reverse from March to May? 1️⃣ Great value for money, round trip to Xining as low as ¥1k+, compared to peak season airfares, it's a lot more worth it 2️⃣ Fewer tourists, double the experience, often having the place to yourself 3️⃣ The number of caves open for visiting has increased to 12, which is very worthwhile! 4️⃣ You can stay in Chaka, inside the scenic area, and encounter the starry sky at sunrise 🌟 Qinghai-Gansu Big Loop 9-Day Itinerary March-May Day 1-3 Xining-Pingshan Lake Grand Canyon-Zhangye-Danxia National Geological Park-Jiayuguan Day 4-6 Yulin Grottoes-Dunhuang City-Mogao Caves-Mingsha Mountain-Emerald Lake-Dachaidan Day 7-9 Dachaidan-Chaka Salt Lake-Chaka Sky No.1-Qinghai Lake-Cycling-Xining City June-October Day 1-3 Xining-Menyuan (Rapeseed Flowers)-Qilian Grassland-Zhuoer Mountain-Danxia National Geological Park-Zhangye Day 4-6 Jiayuguan (Great Wall)-Guazhou-Mogao Caves-Mingsha Mountain-Dunhuang-Emerald Lake-Dachaidan Day 7-9 Dachaidan-Chaka Salt Lake-Chaka Town-Qinghai Lake-Cycling-Xining 🌈 Must-visit attractions 📍 China's Most Beautiful Lake TOP1·Qinghai Lake The temperature is rising recently, and Qinghai Lake is also starting to thaw and open. It is recommended to cycle along the lakeside greenway in the Erlang Sword Scenic Area and feed the seagulls 📍 Dachaidan Emerald Lake Although it's called Emerald Lake, the colors are not monochromatic: emerald green, mint blue, amber yellow, milk white... It's beautiful regardless of the weather or luck, every frame is a photo of a lifetime. 📍 'Mirror of the Sky' Chaka Salt Lake One of the 55 must-visit attractions in life, taking the small train feels like heading to a fairy tale by Hayao Miyazaki 📍 'Little Colorado' Pingshan Lake Grand Canyon My social media is blowing up with questions, it's not the American Colorado Grand Canyon, but the photos are just as stunning, with almost no tourists, 📍 'World Cultural Heritage' Mogao Caves ✔️ Watch movies at the Digital Center 'Millennium Mogao' and 'Fantasy Buddha Palace' ✔️ Accompanied by a guide for an in-depth visit to explore murals and colored sculptures ✔️ Listen to historical stories, converse with the glorious Tang Dynasty 📍 'Sister Grottoes of Mogao' Yulin Grottoes Besides visiting the caves, you can walk along the Yulin River and feel the vitality of the oasis on the desert Gobi 📍 Mingsha Mountain·Crescent Lake At this time, you won't be stuck in camel traffic, the scenery outside the Great Wall is unparalleled, you can take photos like the movie 'Dune', Dunhuang Feitian portraits~ 📍 Jiayuguan The vast fortress lies across the Gobi, with the majestic red towers soaring, set against the jade-like snow peaks of the Qilian Mountains, truly deserving of the title 'The First and Greatest Pass under Heaven' ⛪ Accommodation The entire trip is of 4-diamond standard, high quality Stay in Chaka inside the scenic area, encounter the sunset and starry sky Stay in a hotel under the Danxia National Geological Park in Zhangye, witness a soul-stirring Danxia sunset
