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.

3. Chaka Salt Lake is a very good shooting location in the depths of the salt lake. If you want to take good photos, you must not be afraid to go deep, but you must pay attention to safety;

4. Timely use compositional elements such as trees and stones to create a sense of space in the front, middle and background, or to increase the richness of the picture, such as boats and other content, which is also a very important part of shooting;

5. Use the super wide-angle lens to capture the feeling that the railroad track extends infinitely to the horizon;

6. The white balance should be slightly cooler when shooting, so that the sky will appear bluer;

7. If you want to shoot the starry sky, you need a strong flashlight and a tripod;

8. The simple technique is to shoot upward from a low angle. This technique is applicable no matter where you go, and it is a practical technique;
