🐾Surrounding attractions
✅Heima River
🎫Free ticket, scenic bus 20/person (free for children under 1.2 meters)
🅿️The parking lot is across the road, free, the parking lot is all mud after rain…
🌟There are relatively more people, there are more scenic buses (golf battery cars) back and forth, so you don't have to wait long. The toilets in the scenic area are also relatively clean, near the entrance visitor center.
🎡There is a horse riding project inside, which is charged separately. There are similar Wangzai small steamed buns by the river, which can feed seagulls, and you can also feed them with your own biscuits and bread.
✅Donggeer Observation Deck
🎫Free
🅿️The parking lot is across the road from the observation deck, free parking
🌟There are fewer people at the Donggeer Observation Deck, and the entire scenic area is quite clean. There is a market in the upper position, and you can drink tea and eat something simple near the lake.
🎡There is a horse riding project, you can join a group tour. Overall, Donggeer's management is more complete, the only shortcoming is that the scenic area has limited capacity, the parking lot is small, and parking is not allowed on the side of the road (located on the side of the mountain bend), and individual customers cannot go down to the lake at will.
✅Qinghai Lake Cliff
️🎫It is now in trial operation, free, scenic bus 20/person (free for children under 1.2 meters)
🅿️Free parking lot
🌟Compared with the previous two attractions, the landscape here is more open and richer. Because it is in trial operation, the scenic area is not perfect. The scenic bus is an old bus, there are only two, and one must be kept up and down the mountain. When there are fewer people, the waiting time is longer.

The whole journey, this time I can meet Sister Ma is the best master and tour guide I have ever met. The itinerary is very reasonable and the service is very good. The attractions are beautiful. I will choose Sister Ma next time I come to Xining [smile]
The driver guide service is very good, the time is very reasonable, and the scenery of the route is very good. Very satisfied
NB400 Master Ma's service is very intimate. The road is far away. I am worried that we are tired of sitting for a long time. Help us adjust the seats and improve the comfort. The master's driving technology is safe and safe. The first is to arrange the time reasonably. The scenery on the road is beautiful. The service is also awesome.
Very beautiful scenery, you must go to Qinghai attractions. Old people are free of charge. The sea on the plateau. Very good experience. When I went to Qinghai with a few elders, I passed by and took them to play. Everyone was very satisfied.
Blue sky, golden rapeseed flowers, good mood, the slight wind, from time to time blowing, it is refreshing. This is the beautiful Qinghai Lake. There are also sculptures of the Queen Mother of Xiwuxi in the lake. There are also some projects for visitors to entertain on the water, such as taking a cruise ship and taking a dinghy. From time to time, water birds fly by the lake. The water is clear and bottomed. You can see the thin fish.
