Day 1: All over the country—Lanzhou/Xining (24H pick-up, free activities in urban areas)

【Kind tips】

1. There are consumables in the hotel room in Northwest China, so you need to pay a deposit when you check in (hope for cooperation). After you check in, if you do not damage the facilities, linens and consumables in the room, you can check out in time refund the deposit. In addition, the hotel facilities in the northwest region are slightly lacking, so there is a gap with the mainland hotels, please understand.

2. The Northwest region belongs to the plateau. When you first arrive in the plateau city, you should avoid greasy, raw, cold, spicy food. Although highland barley wine is good, don’t be greedy. The temperature difference between morning and evening in the plateau area is large, please be sure to bring warm clothes (fleece jacket, thin down jacket, etc.), Xining is known as the summer capital, so most hotels do not have air conditioning, please understand.

Day 2: Xining—Riyue Mountain—Daotang River—Qinghai Lake (Erlangjian Scenic Area)—Qinghai Lake Lakeside or Chaka 【Today’s Aspect】Blue waves and vast Qinghai Lake, Chaka Salt Lake in the sky

Kind tips:

1. Prices in and around the scenic area are relatively high, so you can bring some dry food and drinking water to play;

2. The weather here is dry and the ultraviolet rays are strong, so you can prepare a headscarf, which is dust-proof and sun-proof;

3. Because Qinghai Lake is located in a plateau area with an average altitude of 3,200 meters, the average temperature is 5-6 degrees lower than that of Xining, and the ultraviolet light is strong. Even if you go to Qinghai Lake in midsummer, you need to bring long-sleeved clothes (fleece jackets and the like), and it is colder when it rains, so you need to bring a thick coat in non-summer seasons;

4. When visiting the Qinghai Lake Scenic Area, please be careful not to engage in strenuous activities or drink alcohol. Most people will have mild altitude sickness when they first arrive at the plateau. The main symptoms are headache and shortness of breath. Don’t panic about this. Drink plenty of water and take a good rest. You can quickly adapt to the plateau climate.

5. The surrounding areas of Qinghai Lake and Chaka Town are relatively backward due to their remote location, and the accommodation conditions are relatively difficult. The focus is on cleanliness and hygiene, please understand.
