Every time we travel, we will pass through many places. When we return, we discuss with our friends and always feel that there are many things that we can do just one step away, but we have not done them. They obviously went to the same place, but their activities were very different. It's not worth going again just for a few things. Now let's talk about how to play in Qinghai and Gansu so as not to leave regrets.
Rapeseed Flowers by the Lake in Qinghai For the classic attractions we often go to, how can we play to experience a different way of playing from others? How to play these classic scenic spots 1. Shooting skills of Chaka Salt Lake Chaka Salt Lake is the most suitable scenic spot for taking pictures on the entire loop. In addition to carrying brightly colored clothes such as red, the selection of shooting spots is also particularly important. When shooting, you must go a little farther into the depths of the salt lake before shooting, and try to choose a cloudless and sunny day, otherwise it will be difficult to shoot the effect of "sky realm".
2. The night view of Mingsha Mountain Crescent Spring Most of the tourists who don’t know Mingsha Mountain Crescent Spring come here to enter the scenic spot in the afternoon, and when it gets dark, they rush down the mountain and leave the scenic spot. But do you know how wonderful it is to sit on the top of the mountain and watch the starry sky when it gets dark, and all the lights in the scenic spot will be turned on after dark, and the Crescent Lake reflected is even more shocking.
3. Colorful Danxia sunset and sunrise In addition to the colorful Danxia sunset, the colorful Danxia sunrise is also particularly beautiful. Many large ring roads will arrange to watch the sunset of Qicai Danxia, and stay in Qicai Town. When you go out of the scenic spot, you can apply for free admission the next day without additional fees. Therefore, why not take this opportunity to see that it is not inferior to Heimahe The colorful Danxia sunrise scene at sunrise.
The reputation of Laji Mountain is not so great, but the scenery of Laji Mountain is even better than that of Riyue Mountain, and Laji Mountain does not charge tickets. Daotang River is a very tasteless point in the whole itinerary, so it would be better to choose the route that passes directly through Laji Mountain, whether it is taking pictures or watching it is very good.
Laji Mountain Transportation Mode: It is recommended to charter a car. You can also book the itinerary of the Great Ring Road that passes here, so that you don't need to pay extra to go there.
2. Sculpture in the water Yadan on the water is rarely visited by people. This is a scenic spot not included in the big ring road, but it is on the route of the big ring road. This is the only water Yardang landform in the world. Passing through the deserted Gobi Desert, you can see the magical sculptures of the Creator. The sculptures are reflected in the water, as if you are in another world.
The transportation here is inconvenient. There is an extra 500 kilometers to and from Dachaidan. You can only carpool or charter a car to go there, which requires an extra day of travel. But if you have enough time, try to visit the Yadan landform on the water, which is completely different from the Yadan landform on land, and it is definitely worth the fare.
Water Yardang transportation method: It is recommended to charter a car or book a large loop itinerary that includes this place. Those who book the Grand Ring Road itinerary can communicate with the driver to add a one-day itinerary, and pay another 500-600 yuan to go there, and the average share is about 100 yuan per person. 3. The ancient town of Crescent Spring Crescent Spring Town is located at the foot of Crescent Spring in Mingsha Mountain. It is less than 1 km away from the scenic spot and can be reached on foot. However, some tourists who visit the Grand Ring Road will choose to return directly to the accommodation after leaving the scenic spot. , and missed this place.
Here you can experience the architectural style of the ancient Northwest, see the culture of the ancient Northwest, and eat some special delicacies here. The food here is better than Shazhou Night Market, and the price is more affordable, so this place can replace Shazhou Night Market and become a better choice.
How to get to Crescent Spring Town: Get out of the gate of Mingsha Mountain Crescent Spring Scenic Area and go straight for about 500 meters to arrive.
4. The landscape painting Heiquan Reservoir is a must-see attraction on the Great Ring Road, but it is not valued by everyone. After a week of travel, many tourists are very tired and just want to return as soon as possible. Instead, they missed the most beautiful scenery on the entire ring road. place. Therefore, tourists who choose the Grand Ring Road must visit this scenic spot before returning. There must be enough time, and there is no need to worry about affecting the return ticket.
Transportation method of Heiquan Reservoir: It is recommended to charter a car. If you go to Menyuan by taking the G227 National Highway, you will pass through Heiquan Reservoir.
