Perfect spot for sunset...... With breezes blowing from qinghai sea... Blue sea.... Sun and moon mountain...
weizd: a very nice mountain and pavilions as well as a small river.
The Sun Moon Mountain ⛰️, which is passing by Qinghai, not only has beautiful scenery, but also has very important historical significance.

Since ancient times, Riyue Mountain has been the throat of the mainland to Tibet, with the title of "West Sea screen" and "Grassland Gateway". To the scenic spot by car, the sun and moon mountain in winter does not need tickets, tourists are also very few, but there are several Tibetans to worship, sun and moon mountain have two pavilions, respectively called sun and moon pavilions. Down the mountain is the Han Baiyu statue of Princess Wencheng, the Princess Wencheng Temple and the frescoes of the two gardens, as well as an ancient road museum.
Beautiful, spectacular view,
Riyue Mountain is the natural boundary between the inner and outer river basins of Qinghai Province. Because the mountain body is red, it was called Chiling in ancient times. In Tibetan and Mongolian, Riyue Mountain means sun and moon. On the east side of the sun and the moon, there is a scenic view of the south of the Yangtze River. The grassland on the west side is vast, with herds of cattle and sheep, and a scenery outside the fortress. The contrast on both sides is very rare in China.
