The most beautiful thing is autumn, the bright and rich colors of autumn make the whole world as beautiful as an oil painting. What does autumn look like?

Wusute (water) Yadan


Usute Water Yardang:
The only water Yadan landform in the world, the surface of Lake Jinel rises and gradually submerges the Yadan Group on the northern edge, forming a unique water Yadan. The fusion of wind-eroded landforms and plateau lakes has both the gentleness of the water and the majesty of the earth. The blue lake water like the tears of God, and the Yardang landform formed by wind erosion for thousands of years, they met in this land of Qaidam Basin.

A road is enough to make you fall in love with the desolate and quiet desert road here. Yes, this is the G315 national road, which is so beautiful that it goes straight into the sky. The beauty of this road has been achieved. Go to Encounter on Water Yardang to appreciate the beauty of the desert road.



The more desolate the place, the more amazing scenery you can meet. It takes about 3 hours to drive from Delingha and drive on the endless road before arriving at Water Yadan. About 3 kilometers away from Water Yadan, you can enjoy the landscape of Yadan along the way. You can slow down and enjoy it slowly .




Buying tickets online is so convenient. Enter the scenic spot and take a round-trip shuttle bus to enter the hinterland of Yadan on the water.



The beauty of Yadan on the water has thousands of ways, each of which makes you amazed. When you are in the distance, you feel that this is not like the northwest region, but the coastal city scenery. When you slowly When approaching it, there are shimmering waves in the distance, and then there are wind-eroded mounds distributed in it, and the clear and blue lake water nearby is suffocating in beauty.



Playing along the plank road by the lake, the wind is sunny and sunny, sitting by the lake listening to songs, watching the scenery, and enjoying it very much.



When you are in the scenery, you become the scenery in the eyes of others. On the other side of the lake, Fengzi's lonely figure is also very beautiful.

A man who is like the wind walks in the sand, and he will look particularly masculine, and the cloak on his body will be blown up.



In fact, my favorite is to look at the scenery from a high place, so that I can have a wide view and see the winding beauty of the lakeshore.




When I was sitting on a high ground admiring the scenery, suddenly an elf ran past my eyes, a cute little lizard on the sand. When you look at him from a distance, it will turn back and look at you. It is cute and super cute. .



Of course, such an environment is definitely a holy place for taking pictures. Anywhere, by the lake or in the sand, it is a beautiful blockbuster, letting go of your own feeling.




Just like this, my friends sat by the lake, took pictures, looked at the scenery, and basked in the sun. It was past five o'clock. Time always flies by at the best time, but my heart has always stayed here, enjoying The quiet beauty of the moment.



Yadan on the water is the most beautiful scenic spot in Qaidam in my opinion, and it is also a unique beauty in the world. You don’t need to explore it too much, you just need to take a quiet walk in it, choose a place to sit down, and listen to music with your friends. It is the most beautiful enjoyment.



God always creates the most amazing beauty and sprinkles the most beautiful ink in the barren places. Emerald Lake is such a place, like God's palette, which is as beautiful as emerald against the sun, from the perspective of God Watching, distributed in these large and small lakes, is like a string of emerald necklaces.

emerald lake


Emerald Lake is one of the most popular scenic spots on the Internet. Everyone thinks that it is created by nature. In fact, it turns out that this is the mining area of ​​the Salt Lake Mining Team of Dachaidan Chemical Factory. Due to the different concentrations of minerals, A colorful scene is formed. When the weather is fine, the mirror-like lake reflects the blue sky and white clouds and the snow-capped peaks in the distance, just like being in a fairyland.



Elegant blue, or emerald green, but not only these colors, but also red lakes, like rubies.



Approaching the lake, the mountains in the distance, the golden grass, the amber red lake, and the people in it, this is a beautiful oil painting.



No one thought that the former chemical salt field has become the most popular scenery today. This is just like the old saying: "If you plant flowers with intention, they will not bloom, but if you do not intend to plant willows and willows will make shade." The scenery without deliberate creation is just like nature. The scenery is generally mesmerizing.




This is more of a tranquility. There are not too many people competing with you for a small shooting location. Everyone has their own piece of scenery. This is the most beautiful enjoyment in travel. You can not only enjoy the beautiful scenery, but also shoot the whole The world is your exclusive sense.




When all of us were still intoxicated by the beautiful scenery, suddenly the friends around us yelled and pointed to the sky excitedly. We thought it was a plane flying by. When we looked up, we also exclaimed. Time to form a beautiful sun halo.



The beauty of the Emerald Lake, except that you walk into its heart, is a completely different scene from the sky. Just like, the road few people travel is the scenery, and the place few people go is paradise. From the rarer perspective in the sky, there will be additional surprises.



Of course, I would like to remind all flying friends that the wind here is still quite strong, so you should be more careful when flying drones.



When we were on our way back from Emerald Lake to the urban area, the sun at five o'clock made the grass on both sides of the road extraordinarily beautiful. Looking at it from a backlit perspective, the grass danced in the wind like an elf.



I like such a vast and boundless grassland. Walking in it, the whole person enjoys it very much. Close your eyes, feel the breeze blowing on your face, and listen to the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the grassland.



Everyone has a heart longing to wander, and at this moment, you are a wanderer.



The fun of self-driving is sometimes like this. You can have a scenery that makes you forget yourself in places you thought were inconspicuous.


I have crossed mountains and seas
also through the sea of ​​people
everything i ever had
In a blink of an eye, it's like smoke
i was disappointed
lose all direction
until you see the ordinary
is the only answer
This "Ordinary Road" by Pu Shu is my favorite song in my travels.


Dulan Ranch


We have to cross the mountain to find a vast grassland, to see the sheep here, to at least gallop, to feel the wind blowing from the valley, and the weeds everywhere in the wilderness. Dulan Ranch is such a place that can satisfy all your expectations. The rugged mountain roads, steep valleys, flocks of sheep, shimmering lakes, and wild animals you encounter inadvertently will make you fall in love with this land.

Dulan Ranch


How to see the rainbow without experiencing wind and rain, how to meet the most beautiful scenery without experiencing twists and turns. All the way along the mountain road, the road conditions are more complicated, so friends who are driving by themselves must be very energetic, concentrate on driving, drive slowly, and safety first.



Seeing cattle and sheep when the wind blows the grass is not only the scenery seen in Inner Mongolia, but in the land of Qinghai, it has a different style. When I walked into the hinterland of the ranch, I saw a large group of sheep bleating from a distance, grazing leisurely in the sun.



Sometimes all it takes to get a great photo is a smile, a friendly conversation, and a little warmth. Seeing the grazing elder sister, we stopped the car and went up to ask if we could borrow a horse to take a photo. Unexpectedly, the simple elder sister agreed immediately, and we were overjoyed.



Once we used dreams as horses, now we lead the horses to realize our dreams.



The golden grass, the walking horse, stroking it, this scene is a very loving and beautiful painting.



It is no exaggeration, as long as I have a horse, I can play here for half a day, hahahahaha. Everyone took turns to take pictures, and after one lap, an hour really passed. But we had a lot of fun, after all, we took photos we liked.



Sometimes you need to let yourself go, for example, running on the grass. But the handsomeness is only three seconds, it is sincere, don’t look at each of our photos is very beautiful, in fact, I am here to tell my friends, the weeds that grow here have thorny seeds, so walk around, shoes , clothes, and trouser legs were covered with grass seeds, so we squatted on the side of the road and pulled out the thorns, which was also very fun.





The scenery encountered by chance is beautiful, but the wild animals encountered by chance are really pleasant surprises. After we pulled out the grass thorns on our bodies, we got up and looked into the distance. There was a low-flying eagle, which was extremely handsome.



And in the distance, a lonely Tibetan antelope.



Walking into the hinterland of the ranch, you come to the Alak Lake National Wetland Park, where there are herdsmen living here, and you can enjoy authentic food.





Walking to the edge of the wetland park, an abandoned wooden boat looks special, and you can take pictures with a special style when you take a walk.





The scenery is not only in the destination, but also in the scenery along the way. On the way to the ranch, there are not only stretches of highland barley fields on both sides of the road, but also this kind of colorful crops, just like the paintings of Van Gogh.



This is the season when goji berries are ripe. The local farmers have picked fresh goji berries and are drying them in the open space. We walked over and ate one or two fresh goji berries cheekily. It was really sweet.



Half of flames and half of sea, half of wilderness and half of mountains, this is the sea of ​​gold. The sea of ​​gold didn't surprise me at its beauty at first, but when I walked into its heart, I found that all my intuitions were wrong. You can sit quietly by the lake in a daze, or go for a walk in the desert , Look at the lake and mountains in the distance.


gold sea

Name: Jinzihai
Address: Ulan County, Haixi Prefecture, Qinghai Province
Transportation: About 2 hours away from Delingha, navigating the "Golden Sea"
Tickets: No tickets yet



When we drove to Jinzihai, the weather was not so good and the clouds and fog were too thick, so I didn't feel too surprised. In fact, it can be said that I was a little disappointed. So we sat on the sand, blowing the wind, looking at the mountains in the distance. Maybe we are all lucky people. Within half an hour, the sky opened up, and the bright sunshine brought this quiet mountain, wild, sandy sea to life all at once.



I close my eyes, feel the tranquility of the breeze blowing on my face, practice the breathing of yoga, my body and mind are integrated with the whole nature, and feel the warmth of the sun nourishing my body little by little. Stand up and practice a session of yoga by the lake, I really like this state.



Walking Ella, hahaha, today's clothes are really full marks 💯 I like it, it matches the whole scenery so well.



When a horse appeared in the reeds in the distance, the whole person went crazy because it happened so suddenly and the scene was so beautiful. I pulled my little partner and walked towards the horse. Looking at it from a distance, it was so handsome in the wind and in the reeds.




It is said that the scenery is the most beautiful when viewed from a distance. In fact, sometimes, the closer you get, the more real and beautiful scenery you will meet. Unexpectedly, there is a small winding river in front of this horse in this reed marsh. This is really the most beautiful scenery in Jinzihai in my opinion. There is no one. If you come to play, friends, remember You must come here to check in.



In addition to enjoying the beautiful scenery, friends who like wild, sand motorcycles and other projects, you can learn about it.



And, inadvertently, herdsmen walking past you with their flocks.



Keluke Lake (Keluke Nur) is Mongolian, which means "grassy achnatherum beach", and some people say it is "a place with lush water and grass". Keluke Lake is located in the northeast of Qaidam Basin, on the Huaitou Tala Grassland about 50 kilometers away from Delingha, the capital of Haixi Mongolian and Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture.

Different seasons, different beauty. When the weather is fine, the lake is vast, the shores of the lake are open, unobstructed, the lake is vast, the water and the sky are the same color, and it is magnificent.







It is best to play here for about an hour, take pictures in the square, and then go for a walk by the lake to see the vastness and tranquility of the lake.



Then walk along the plank road among the reeds, enjoying the sunshine and the greenness of the reeds.



When I came out of the scenic spot, the electric poles in front of the gate were full of little sparrows basking in the sun.



Tashi Qulin (One Tree) Temple is located about 2 kilometers west of Gahai Town, Delingha City, Haixi Prefecture, Qinghai Province. It was first built in the first year of Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty (1796), and has a history of 217 years. According to legend, before 1940, the monastery lama (monk) planted two small saplings, and only one sprouted and grew up to this day, hence the name "One Tree Temple".


a tree temple


The wild Northwest region used to be synonymous with no man's land, but because of the survival of this tree, the impossible became possible.



When this tree was transplanted, it was watered every day with the water blessed by the Living Buddha chanting scriptures, so that the tree survived, so this tree represents a tenacious spirit of survival.







Now it is full of trees, and many trees have been planted. Walk around in the temple and feel the Buddhist culture.








Sister, tonight I am in Delingha, the night is shrouded
Sister, I only have Gobi tonight
At the end of the grassland, my hands are empty
Can't hold a single teardrop in grief
Sister, tonight I am in Delingha
This is a desolate city in the rain
except those who pass and live
Delingha... tonight
This is the only, final, lyrical.
This is the only, last, prairie.
i give stone back stone
let victory win
Tonight the highland barley belongs only to him
everything is growing
Tonight I only have the beautiful Gobi, empty
Sister, I don't care about humans tonight, I only want you.

Haizi Poetry Exhibition Hall




"Tonight I am in Delingha" is a poem "Diary" written by the famous contemporary poet Haizi. A scene of loneliness in the dark night, a desolation of the Gobi Desert, a person's sad voice is endless. There is nothing to speak of except the deathly emptiness. Perhaps the poet purposely seeks such a haunted place to cleanse the soul and emotion in the process of life.



Haizi is a poet that our younger generation especially likes. Now I am very excited to be able to enter his poetry exhibition hall.





I like such an elegant and quiet place. It is also great to read Haizi's poems and his stories here.




The cornucopia of the motherland, the magical Qaidam. In this magical land, there are very abundant light resources, so it has become a very important photovoltaic energy research base in our country. In the northwest, where there is no hydropower generation, photovoltaic power generation has become the most valuable and meaningful research projects.


Photovoltaic utilization exhibition hall in Qinghai, China


"Delingha Astronomical Science Museum" was built on the main road of Delingha City, Haixi Prefecture, Qinghai Province - on the west side of Changjiang Road, on the south side of Dulan Road, and on the east side of the extended Binhe Garden. The entire building is used as a science popularization exhibition room , Astronomical Observation Room, Sun Hall, Dome Astronomical Hall, Multi-Function Hall, Teaching Room, Office Room, and Supporting Services.



Walking into the exhibition hall, I learned about the world's most advanced photovoltaic power generation facilities and technologies. The technology and scientific research achievements of various countries have been integrated here to lay an important foundation for the development of photovoltaic research in my country. In the future, this place will become a photovoltaic power generation center in Qinghai. The control center is here to centrally control the power generation and distribution.




Here, a variety of photovoltaic power generation components are displayed, including those from Germany and the United States, and each power generation system and power generation capacity are different.




In the entire power generation unit and system, the most precious thing is the "sunflower", which was "purchased" from the international market after many twists and turns. At present, there are only two in the country. It is like a sunflower, following the movement of the sun. , change the direction, the maximum power generation, and when encountering bad weather, it will automatically fold, with high technology inside.


Delingha Astronomical Science Museum



The Astronomical Science Museum cleverly uses natural terrain, landscaping and man-made landscapes to fully reflect the wildness and interest, and provides citizens and tourists with a science popularization activity place to feel the charm of science. Here you can learn about the characteristics of each planet and the history of the development of the Milky Way system.



In the astronomy science hall on the first floor, by touching the multimedia screen, "The Scale of the Universe" shows visitors the process from the microcosm to the macrocosm in turn. Quarks are the smallest matter, followed by nuclei, chromosomes, cells, human bodies, the earth, The solar system, the Milky Way, the Hercules galaxy cluster, and the observable universe present a multi-level universe for people in three-dimensional images.




In the interactive area, you can manually adjust the atmospheric content, etc., so that the earth will become a different color and appearance, which is very interesting. In this way, it is very interesting to learn the influence of various layers of the atmosphere on the earth, and we will love our earth more in the future.



You can also learn the development history of global astronomy. Here you can see the contribution made by our country to the astronomical research institute in ancient times. The predecessors recorded the changes in astronomy a long time ago. The research results are very important to the world. .



In addition to arranging interesting attractions, the most important thing in travel is also very important to stay, because there is no direct flight from Guilin to Delingha, so a one-night stopover in Qinghai is required. In Xining, I found this very artistic and warm inn, which is the Fanmu Shabby Boutique Hotel.


Van Wood Shack Boutique Hotel



The white-based design style, matched with all the log decoration, is simply my favorite.



The courtyard in the public area is also very comfortable. You can sit on the outdoor chairs in the early morning or evening, bask in the sun and enjoy the tranquility. In the reception hall, you can watch movies at night, and the point is that you can also eat delicious food cooked by the boss himself.



The layout of the room is simple and concise, with no extra decorations, and every piece of furniture and objects is properly matched, making it very warm for you to live in.




When you are free, sitting in the lobby reading a book, listening to music, and eating a slice of watermelon is the happiest thing.


In this itinerary, the most important destination is Delingha, so for the accommodation in Delingha, I found a starry sky-themed hotel this time, which is Moshang Starry Sky Hotel. On the day of check-in, there are very high-level treatment, It was the hotel staff who presented the white Hada and highland barley wine, which was very touching.


Moshang Star Hotel


The layout of the hotel is very warm, the main tone of white and blue makes people feel very peaceful when they live in it. There are some photography works in each room, as decoration, it is really loved by young artists, and it is great to learn and appreciate the works of other photographers.






There are also specially made cards and seasonal fruits, which are really thoughtful.
