A different Qinghai in-depth tour

Xining - Dulan - Delingha - Xitaijiner - Chaerhan Salt Lake - Yuzhufeng - Hoh Xil - Yushu
01 Dulan
This is a primitive landscape that has been silent for thousands of years
There are deserts, dry salt lakes, sand dunes, Gobi Desert and other basin-specific terrains in the domain
It can be described as a natural Yardang geological museum

03 Emerald Lake
If God ever shed countless tears
Then this drop of Emerald Lake must be a rare beauty
It is different from the touristy Chaka Salt Lake
It's as quiet as an alley in the middle of the night
Only the sound of the wind passing over the hills
Unlike other salt lakes,
its not a whole lake
It is composed of scattered lakes, large and small.
when overlooking
Like thousands of emeralds inlaid on the earth
Due to the different minerals contained in the salt pond
With the angle of sunlight
will shine with different luster
Tips:
1. Emerald Lake has not yet been developed, and its approximate location is about ten kilometers northwest of Chaidan Town, Dachaidan Administrative Committee, Haixi Prefecture, Qinghai Province. The route is the overlapping section of the old 215 National Road and 315 National Road in the north of Dachaidan, which is Dachaidan Northeast corner of Salt Lake.
2. Emerald Lake is the mining area of a local chemical company. It has existed for decades and there is a sidewalk to pass through.
3. Since tourism development has not yet been carried out and the original state of the mining area is maintained, it is recommended not to enter the water at will to avoid accidents.
4. There are large vehicles driving in the mining area, please pay attention to the parking of vehicles. Do not affect their traffic and production, and do not cross the red and white iron gate and iron railings of the access road in Emerald Lake, so as not to stray into the mining production area.

Tips:
Salt Lake Address: Chaerhan Salt Lake crosses Golmud City and Dulan County, 60 kilometers away from Golmud City
Ticket reference: Chaerhan is currently under construction, it is not a formal scenic spot, and there are no tickets
Note: There is no accommodation near the Chaerhan Salt Lake, so you have to go to the city of Golmud to stay. It is definitely a wise choice to drive a RV in Qinghai.
