Kind tips:
1. Qinghai is located on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The local temperature difference between day and night is large. Please bring enough warm and cold-proof clothing. Qinghai has strong sunshine and strong ultraviolet rays. Wear a sun hat, sunglasses, and apply sunscreen to protect your skin when you are outdoors for a long time.
2. Most areas in Northwest China are located on the plateau (Loess Plateau), with an altitude of about 800-3,000 meters. The average altitude of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is about 4,000 meters. There is a slight plateau reaction, which is different for each person, which is a normal phenomenon. Members may have mild dizziness, headache, or loss of appetite and other symptoms. Drink plenty of water, pay attention to rest, and do not act too violently or too hastily. When exercising, please proceed according to your own physical condition. Prepare commonly used medicines. Guests with severe high blood pressure or heart disease should bring their own medicines.
3. The affinity between carbon monoxide and hemoglobin produced by cigarettes is 250 to 300 times that of oxygen, and heavy smoking will obviously aggravate altitude sickness.
4. The northwest region has a vast territory, and the journey between scenic spots is long. Tourists are requested to reduce drinking water as much as possible before boarding. Tourists should pay attention to rest when traveling to and from the northwest, allocate time well, and participate in tourism activities with sufficient physical strength.
5. It is recommended not to drink alcohol in plateau areas, especially middle-aged and elderly people over 40 years old, because drinking alcohol will increase the load on people's heart and blood vessels, and often aggravate altitude sickness, and even induce cerebral hemorrhage and other cardiovascular and cerebrovascular attacks.
6. Qinghai is an ethnic minority area, please respect the religion and living customs of the local ethnic minorities;
7. Travel essentials: raincoat or umbrella, cold medicine, sports shoes, gastrointestinal medicine, insect repellent plaster, sunscreen, sun hat, sunglasses, etc.
Day 1: All over the country - Lanzhou/Xining
【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. 3. No pick-up/drop-off services are arranged for train/train stations. Please take a taxi to go there by yourself, and you will be responsible for your own expenses.

【Warm Tips】
1. The surrounding areas of Qinghai Lake and Chaka Town are relatively backward due to their remote location, and the accommodation conditions cannot be compared with those in the mainland. The accommodation is mainly clean, hygienic and economical.

2. The altitude around Qinghai Lake and Chaka Town is high, the temperature is low, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is large. It is not recommended to take a bath at night.

Day 3: Qinghai Lake—Rubber Mountain—"The Realm of the Sky" Chaka Salt Lake—Arrival in Delingha/Dachaidan
Chaka Salt Lake photo guide:
1. If you want to shoot the reflection effect, you need to use a wide-angle lens;
2. Due to the refraction of light, it is recommended to carry a light reducing filter or a polarizing filter (due to the high reflectivity of the water surface, it is recommended to use a polarizing filter to control the reflection when shooting, so as to emphasize the color tone of the lake or the blue sky) to avoid excessive photos exposure;
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;
9. The suitable shooting time is to enter the Chaka Salt Lake around 10:00 am or 4:00 pm. Reflections are easy to appear during this time period.
Day 4: Delingha/Dachaidan—Temei Highway—Emerald Lake—Yadan Landform—Oil Town—Yangguan—arrive at Dunhuang Desert for camping
Kind tips:
1. The wind and sand are strong, so sun hats, sunglasses, silk scarves, and masks are required.

MMs who like to take pictures can change into colorful dresses before arriving at the scenic spot.
