Top Things to Do in Dulan 2021

"We arrived and thought it was a bad idea because you started to see a lot of car and crowded. It turned out very well and nice to visit! The place is really big, many people doesn’t really walk, they stop to take photo and taking train. So you can enjoy walking on the lake by yourself. You have to rent the shoes and that cost like 10yuan each. Nice place and recommended for a good sunny day 🤩"

"It is not uncommon to see shells on the beach, but it is a bit strange to see shells on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau that should have appeared on the beach, and they are still large. There is such a shell in the wilderness of Dulan County in the Qaidam Basin, Qinghai. The locals call it Shell Liang. The shell beam can only be regarded as a small hill, about 2 kilometers long and 70 meters wide, covered with hundreds of millions of large and small shells. The surface of the shell is covered with a thin layer of saline-alkali soil. After excavation, it has been dug down for 20 meters, which is a layer of shell accumulation. This is the largest paleontological strata discovered in our inland basin so far. These shells, the big one is the size of a coin, the small one is the size of a thumb, are mixed with the sand of the saline-alkali soil. Seeing a piece of white from a distance, it is still very spectacular when you come closer. According to geologists, the Qaidam Basin was still a vast ocean, the ancient Tethys Sea, hundreds of millions of years ago. Later, the seabed uplifted into a plateau during the orogeny, and some people speculated that these shells were left at that time. However, local geologists in Qinghai denied this claim. Their research showed that the shell beams were formed about 150,000 years ago. The shape of these shells is no different from the current shells, and they are not left over from ancient times. Although there is no exact study to confirm the source of these shells, the geological changes of the vicissitudes of life are indisputable facts. This place must have been a place with abundant water and grass in the past."

"Since the sea of gold is formed by the accumulation of sweet spring water over time, the water is extremely clear. There are no fishes found in the shallow water. Some are just small conch and small shells. The sea of gold is more beautiful than the crescent spring. I don’t want you to become the ancient country of Loulan Regret."

"Keke Salt Lake, meaning cyan salt lake in Mongolian. It is located in the small basin under Yak Mountain in Wulan County, Qinghai Province. Salt Lake is not very famous, and very few people come to see it."

"Highly recommended, it's much better than Koluk Lake, and it's free for fewer people (currently). I originally planned to see Koluk and Tuosu Lake, but when I arrived at the scenic spot, there were only a few places, but Tuosu couldn't go, saying that there was no way for the water level to rise."

"It’s so beautiful. In the mountains, it feels better than the Alps. The air is fresh. Although the altitude is 3,500m, the negative oxygen ions make people breathe smoothly, and climbing is not difficult. The animal sanctuary near the top of the mountain is very good. I looked up and saw the hovering eagle. The ground was watching your deer in the grass. It was a paradise and a paradise on earth. One step at a time, I don't want to leave for a long time. If I have the opportunity, I must live in a yurt on the mountain for a few days, letting time flow and things are chaotic."

"This is called the Koluk Lake Scenic Area, with its beautiful scenery and beautiful scenery, which can really bring out the importance of the scenic area. The majority of tourists and friends have found the feeling of visiting the scenic area and sightseeing."

"The Bayin River in Delingha is so beautiful. The blue-green river water is not transparent, but it has a pure feeling, which may be unique to plateau river water. The city of Delingha is really clean, with a particularly high green rate, and there are parks and trees everywhere, so it is very lively and very lively. It is not a backward town as imagined. It is much better than ordinary small cities. It is a park with small roads along the Bayin River. It is particularly pleasant to stroll here and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Bayin River. It is really hard to tell that this is a city at an altitude of 3,000 meters. Like Delingha."

"Going to the northwest in the off-season, there are not many people and the tickets for the scenic spots are cheap, but some places are not open, such as the famous Chaka Salt Lake, so I went to the Mohe Saltworks next to it. China’s “mirror of the sky” is the Chaka Salt Lake, but few people know that the Mohe Salt Farm adjacent to it has the same beautiful scenery. However, unlike Chaka Salt Lake, Mohe Saltworks is less developed, the scenery is more simple and natural, and there are fewer tourists. The large salt lake and the reflection of the blue sky are so beautiful. Charges: 50 yuan per car, 10 yuan per pair for rental rubber shoes. After renting a pair of rubber shoes, we drove in. Seeing this piece of water, I thought it was a freshwater lake, but it turned out that it was a salt lake."

"When the sun is shining, I come to Tosu Lake in Delingha City. The sun-shining lake feels holy, and the clear water of the lake really makes every tourist happy."
