A Tibetan joke in Qinghai

If time can be used for wandering, then the soul should be used for singing.

At the end of 20 17, Qinghai has been listed as the most wanted place in the northwest cities when planning the travel plan for the next year. The best time to visit the local area is July, August and September in summer, and air tickets will be booked in May and June (except for tour groups with round-trip transportation expenses).

At present, there is no direct train from Shanghai to Xining. The Z40 train from Shanghai to Urumqi is a better choice, but the ticket for this train is quite difficult to buy. Generally, there is a reservation period of about 25 days before the official start of ticket sales. I checked the super-fast option, and this time I was lucky enough to grab a bunk and sleep for one night and then read a book during the day.

Get on the bus from Wuxi Station, Z40 passes through Changzhou, Nanjing, Bengbu, Xuzhou, Zhengzhou, Luoyang, xi 'an, Baoji, Tianshui and Lanzhou along the way, and arrives at Xining Station.

Life is a myriad of unknown combinations. We don't know what will happen tomorrow, and we never know what unexpected things we need to face tomorrow. It may be a challenge to live with your heart and go to a distant place that you have never touched, but it is also the embodiment of the true colors of life. Be content with the status quo and plan everything well, so that life may be more stable, and how many desires are hidden in it, maybe only the heart knows.

On the first day, I originally planned to travel from Xining to Chaka Salt Lake. After arriving in the local area, the itinerary was changed to Xining to Qinghai Lake and then to tea card. Travel 360 kilometers, high-speed, national highway.

It is said that the weather, baby face and tour guide in Qinghai need to improvise, and of course they can't do without the understanding and cooperation of the players. After all, there are many people who have been to these two scenic spots and encountered rain.

All the way through the green hills, Tibetan sheep and yaks are scattered among them.

Overlooking Qinghai Lake on the bus, yellow, green and blue are connected together.

The best way to travel in Qinghai Lake is cycling. At a glance, you can't appreciate the magnificence of Qinghai Lake. You don't turn for more than ten kilometers, which makes you feel directly connected to the "heaven" in the sky. Only by riding and hiking can you feel that "in fact, it is better to have some twists and turns on the road of life".

The car guide arranged the riding experience by the lake intimately. It takes 5 to 10 yuan to ride from the villagers' rape fields to the lake. You can shoot rape flowers, take photos in the flower fields, and ride all the way along the flower fields to the lake in Qinghai.

Close contact with the lake, the average water temperature is only about 9 degrees.

There will be some locals selling handicrafts by the lake, and some will take photos with horses and yaks for you to see, but because they are not tourist attractions, they are all very kind and will not buy or sell.

From Xining to Sun Moon Mountain, the altitude rises all the way. Friends who are worried about high reaction had better start taking rhodiola at least one week before departure. It's basically useless to eat locally. Xining had better bring a small oxygen bottle, the price of a can is about 35. The farther back Xining is, the more expensive it is. Cold medicine is necessary. Don't run at high altitude, it is easy to get dizzy. Friends who have exercise and fitness habits should rest for more than a week before departure to reduce the body's demand for oxygen.

It was about five o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived at Chaka Salt Lake. Qinghai has a high dimension, and it will be near 9 pm when it is really dark, so nearly three hours of play time is more than enough.

The deepest memory is that the lake outside is red, and tourists bring their own businesses to sell it. There is always a shawl dress for you.

We joked that we broke the tea card, but the main responsibility was the old ship with mottled iron tracks. It's too metal, and the lake is full of people and salt, so we must bring sandals next time.

Visiting two scenic spots a day is still very anxious. Take the bus half the time, and bring drinking water and food. Lunch and dinner are team meals, usually quick and simple cooking. It's hard to have an appetite, but it's ok to eat.

The first day of staying in a tea card.

The next day's trip covers more than 400 kilometers from Chaka to Jinyintan and then to Zhuo'er Mountain. I was going to take the highway and the national highway. On the way, a landslide occurred due to heavy rain, and the county road was changed, driving for more than 6 hours.

Every turn is extremely difficult, and I dare not fall asleep.

It's almost lunchtime in Jinyintan, and the base in atomic city is worth seeing.

Jin Tan is full of small yellow flowers, and the silver beach is full of small white flowers.

There are many local Sichuan restaurants in Qinghai, and we continue to stir-fry eight bowls for lunch, all of which are easy to store and cook, such as potatoes, cabbage, cauliflower, vermicelli, fungus, zucchini, tomatoes and seaweed soup.

It doesn't matter what you eat when you come out to play and catch up with the scenic spots. As long as you are not hungry, you are still full of energy. Keep walking.

Arrived in Zhuo'er Mountain, just after the heavy rain, the scenic spot began to open.

When this scene appeared in front of us, people's movements became quite simple in an instant, except for taking pictures and breathing.

Leisurely, the most poetic distance is just around the corner, just under your feet.

I crossed the mountains and the sea, and I also crossed the sea. ...

Rong Er bought a red apple, which was difficult for Tibetans to transport up the mountain, leaving some luster at an altitude of 4,000 meters.

Stay in the town with fresh air at the foot of Mount Zall that night, attend a local dinner, and have a bonfire party with Tibetans at night.

It is difficult to shoot a good bonfire and capture the picture of Rong Er dancing.

On the third day, the journey from Zhuo'er Mountain to Menyuan to Xining is 290 kilometers, and the expressway+national highway passes through Dabanshan.

Menyuan, the largest small rape planting base in the world.

Thank you for your wreath and your enthusiasm.

Thanks to my friends who accompanied me all the way, the mix of different ages.

Hui compatriots who deeply love Dabanshan.

After three days' travel, back to the modern city of Xining, Rong Er and I finally couldn't help but go shopping and have a rare sumptuous meal.

Located at No.5, North Street, the old-fashioned Shalihai is recommended for food.

On the fourth day of the trip, from Xining to Guide to Ta 'er Temple and then to Xining, the whole journey is 260 kilometers high-speed.

The Yellow River in the world is expensive in Deqing and expensive in Germany.

Guide, known as the small Jiangnan on the plateau.

If you want to see beautiful mountains and rivers, you must first protect an inch of land.

Morning, Guide, afternoon, Ta 'er Temple is just right.

At that time, I turned the landscape into a stupa, not to repair the afterlife, but to meet you on the road. I understand that you are another self.

As long as you are on your pilgrimage, you are not alone.

At this point, the whole trip is over, and everything that can't fit in my eyes is in my heart. A trip, what you see and think, is fruitful.

How many long trips can a person have in his life? Beautiful Qinghai, I have been here, and I will come again.

Written at the end of Twitter: When traveling in the peak season, hats, sunglasses and sun protection clothes must be prepared, and enough drinking water and fruit should be prepared. Never catch a cold and get enough sleep.
