Recently, Qinghai is on fire again! ! !
Not because of Dongtai Jinel Lake, but because of Chaerhan Salt Lake.
It is the largest salt lake in China, and the salt can feed 6 billion people for a thousand years;
No. 1 in Asia and No. 2 in the world, second only to Uyuni Salt Lake;
It is 56 times that of Chaka Salt Lake and 1000 times more beautiful than Chaka!
It is more than 290 kilometers from Xining to Chaka Salt Lake, and more than 700 kilometers to Chaerhan Salt Lake.
And because of this.
Chaerhan Salt Lake is hidden in the heart of the cornucopia of the Qaidam Basin. It is little known, but it is so beautiful.
For thousands of years, Chaerhan Salt Lake has coexisted with the majestic Kunlun Snow Mountain, the vast Gobi, and coexisted with grandeur and beauty.
Sometimes it is emerald green like a grassland, and sometimes it is blue like a piece of beautiful jade. Just looking at the pictures makes people have the urge to set off immediately.
Chaerhan Salt Lake is actually an industrial factory area, not a tourist attraction.
Therefore, only a small number of people discovered its beauty when driving by themselves. Until the last year or two, everyone was attracted by it and traveled thousands of miles just to see the beauty of Chaerhan.
There are crystal clear white salt flowers on the shore, emerald green inwards, and the color changes again towards the center of the lake. You can't count how many colors are contained here.
All I know is that the sky and the earth here are indistinguishable from reality, and they are beautiful.
It is a place in the sky that is privately hidden in Qinghai, and there is no need for a filter at all. Everything here is like a fairy tale.
Walking here seems to make people forget the time.
I just want to record all this in my heart with my eyes.
It does not have the traffic and noise of Chaka, and it will feel like contracting the entire Salt Lake by itself.
Due to the different degrees of mining, people cannot go down to the lake, so the lake water is cleaner and clearer.
Between the blue sky and white clouds, the Salt Lake is like a vast ocean, extending into the distance.
Due to the continuous evaporation of water, a hard salt cap was formed on the salt lake, and the Qinghai-Tibet Railway and Qinghai-Tibet Highway were built directly on the salt cap.
A "Wanzhang Salt Bridge" has also been formed, with a total length of 32 kilometers, spanning the entire salt lake. When the road is damaged, just pour some brine to restore the road.
Walking into the Chaerhan industrial factory area, you will see workers making salt by hand, and salt mining boats working on the lake.
While enjoying the beautiful scenery, it is also very interesting to learn about the process of salt production.
It was getting darker that day.
A sense of nostalgia is added here. The lake surface is rippling under the influence of the wind, like a beautiful scene in a certain movie.
The beauty of Chaerhan Salt Lake is worthy of your dreams and dreams.
As for Qinghai, a province in western China, its beauty is more than just a Chaerhan Salt Lake.
The "most places you don't want the earth" on the earth are all here, and you can't miss any of them when you come to Qinghai.
01
Dongtai Jinel Lake
A few days ago, Dongtai Jinel Lake, which became popular on the short video platform, was called "China's Maldives".
The Tiffany blue of the lake water simply evokes the hearts of all girls.
People who don't know think that this is a foreign island, which makes people want to go on vacation.
It is not an exaggeration to describe it as clear sand with clear water. The difference is that its shore is a white salt flat.
02
West Taijinel Lake
Xitaijinel Lake is also called "two-color lake". National Highway 315 passes through it. The lakes on both sides are of different colors. Looking down from a high altitude, one side is like a piece of emerald green, and the other side is like a piece of blue gemstone.
It's like a dream, and it's a mess of beauty.
Passing by here by self-driving, nature has staged a beautiful visual feast for us.
Some people say that if you come to Qinghai to drive by yourself, you will definitely find the meaning of self-drive.
All the way forward, beautiful scenery all the way, use the length of the tire to seek the meaning of travel.
03
emerald lake
99% of tourists have never been here, and 99% don't want to leave, which is probably the best description for Emerald Lake.
Alternating between blue, green and white forms this beautiful lake.
Overlooking the Emerald Lake from a high altitude, you don't know what other words to describe besides shocking.
Self-driving Qinghai, if you miss it, you will definitely leave regrets.
04
Aiken Springs
Aiken Spring, also known as "Eye of the Devil" and "Eye of the Earth", is a strange-looking geothermal spring.
The spring is like an eye, gazing at the sky from the ground.
In a trance, I thought it wasn't the earth.
Take a closer look at the lines of Aiken Spring, like the blood of the earth.
It seems to be endowed with some kind of magic, mysterious and fascinating.
05
Russian beam
The jagged Yardang here is like an alien planet with strange rocks and rocks. Only when you enter here, you will truly understand what is called the uncanny craftsmanship of nature.
But driving in the Yadan landform is very easy to get lost, so when you arrive at Erboliang, don't drive into the hinterland easily.
But you can stay here, camp for one night, and you will see the stars all over the sky.
If you are lucky, you can still watch the meteors, the starry sky and the Yadan landform. This scene is more like the surface of Mars.
06
Usut Water Yardang
When the Yardang landform and the lake meet, what kind of beauty will it present?
Usut Water Yadan will tell us that this is the secret place in the world under the barrenness.
The surface of the lake is clear, and the Yadan landform is formed in the lake under the action of the wind. If it is evening, the northwest land will change its appearance.
The lake water and landforms are golden against the background. Looking at the scenery in front of you, you are unconsciously intoxicated by it.
07
Mars Route 1
National highway G315, self-driving in Qinghai, you will take this heavenly road.
The long slope seems to lead to the sky, and you can touch the clouds and pick up the stars by reaching out.
Many people take pictures here, but be sure to pay attention to safety.
There are often large vehicles passing by on the G315. While enjoying the beautiful scenery, don't forget about safety issues.
Qinghai! Qinghai!
There is no other place in the world like it, mysterious, magical, full of charm, and infinitely beautiful.
To explore the beauty that is least like the earth, this travel list, my friends have to go through it one by one.
