Scenic spots are everywhere in the northwest, here is a 5-day and 4-night tour guide for Qinghai and Gansu

Fly from Shanghai to Xining, rest for a night, and start the tour to Qinghai Lake the next morning. Day1, Qinghai Lake ➡️ Chaka Salt Lake The driver picked us up at 8 a.m., the first stop was Qinghai Lake. The lake is very beautiful from a distance, like a blue silk ribbon, and it is a layered blue with different depths. Heima River Scenic Area can reach the lakeside, personally think that it is more moving from a distance. Arrived at Chaka Salt Lake in the afternoon, it was drizzling when we just entered the scenic area, and then it cleared up. The mirror of the sky is indeed well-deserved, and the mountains and clouds in the distance can see very clear reflections. Day2, Chaerhan Salt Lake, Water Yadan, 315U-shaped highway Today's itinerary is quite a lot, and we set off at 6 a.m. Chaerhan Salt Lake, the water is very green without adding a filter, like flowing green jelly. Water Yadan is very beautiful, but unfortunately the weather is average, and its beauty is not photographed. U-shaped highway, I don't understand why it has become a tourist attraction. Many people sit in the middle of the road to take pictures. The truck is honking from a distance. It's so dangerous. On the way back, we passed by Xiaochaidan, the water is very clear and there are many seagulls. Day3, Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Spring Originally, there was a trip to Jade Lake today, but the master said that there is no need to go to Jade Lake after going to Chaerhan Salt Lake. It's very small, just a few water pits, so we cancelled this point and went directly to Mingsha Mountain. This is the first time I have seen a desert, and I am still very excited! With the help of the ladder, Mingsha Mountain is easy to climb, but the highest sand dune does not have a ladder, and you can either climb or ride an off-road vehicle. Watched a sunset at 8 o'clock on the mountain, and there were staff playing music with speakers at night, everyone was singing with flashlights, it was very atmospheric, and it was one of the top 3 of my trip. ps: The ticket for Mingsha Mountain can be used for three days. Day4, Mogao Grottoes, Rainbow Danxia I bought the earliest emergency ticket for Mogao Grottoes in advance, and watched four grottoes, a bit unfinished. Unfortunately, there is not enough time. If there is a chance, I can come to Dunhuang for a deep tour and feel the thousand-year history of Mogao Grottoes. After watching the grottoes, drove 600 kilometers to Rainbow Danxia, and encountered a small tornado on the way. There are 4 stations in the Danxia Scenic Area. There is no need to get off at the first station. The scenery of 2, 3, and 4 is good, especially the 4th station, there are many people, and there are hot air balloons. Day5, Qilian Prairie, Menyuan Rapeseed Flower This season is not the most beautiful time of the prairie, but I experienced horse riding! Fun. The rapeseed flowers have basically withered, and the tour of Qinghai and Gansu is basically over. Later, I stayed in Xining for two more days to rest, visited the Tibetan Culture Museum, and then returned home! In summary, the body is suffering, the eyes are enjoying, it's worth the trip!
