Life is like a journey, you don't have to care about the destination, what you care about is the scenery along the way and the mood of seeing the scenery!
This itinerary is the easiest one I have ever had, because I asked someone to help us plan the itinerary in advance, so I saved a lot of worry along the way, and suddenly found that we made a wise choice, I am so smart! (The little sister who helped me plan the itinerary contributed a lot, so I need to find her)

The time I went was the May Day holiday, and this year was still during the epidemic period, and there were relatively few people. This is the first time when there are few people going out during the Golden Week. The specific cost is written in the travel notes~ each of us is about 4,500. (It is said that travel is to make yourself happy. Although I have always adhered to the concept of poor travel, but after all, it is a girl’s house, and the accommodation is too simple, so I can’t say it’s good but it’s not too bad. At least I can wash in my own room Clean and sleep soundly. As a foodie, you must not save on food! It is not beyond my budget, and 4500 is very cost-effective in my own opinion~)
Chartered car/carpool free travel:
Most people who travel to the Northwest choose to drive by themselves or carpool/charter a car, or choose to travel with a group, but they must travel freely if they want to play freely. If you don’t want to drive yourself too tired, choosing a chartered car/carpooling is the most worry-free and cost-effective way to travel on the Northwest Great Ring Road. The four of us saw a young lady on the Internet, asked her to consult and sign up, and then arranged an itinerary for us. Reliable driver, I had a lot of fun along the way. (Although we are in the Northwest, to be honest, we used to be unable to get out because of financial problems, and now we are unable to get out because of work problems, but time is like water in a sponge, there will always be crowds, just like this time~)
Necessary items:
1. Sunscreen items: hats, sunglasses, masks, sunscreen, silk scarves...
2. Skin care products: body milk, face cream, mask, lipstick, etc. must be brought, the weather is very dry.
3. It is recommended to bring sports shoes and sandals. It is more convenient to wear sandals in the desert.
4. Clothes: All kinds of beautiful skirts and clothes, just change clothes in the car~
5. If you are afraid of heights, you can bring Rhodiola Oral Liquid.
Place of pilgrimage - Kumbum Monastery
Departing from Xining, 4 of us, a reliable old driver, and a car, started our trip to the Great Northwest Ring Road... (Before departure, a bowl of beef noodles)
According to our itinerary plan, the first stop is to Kumbum Monastery. If you are in Qinghai and you want to find the most secular place of faith, almost everyone will tell you to go to Kumbum Monastery.
The Kumbum Monastery just opened in early May, but it is still crowded. Every time I go to these Buddhist places, I have a habit of not wanting to take pictures, and many places in Buddhist holy places have reminders not to take pictures, so this time I did not go to the Kumbum Monastery. Didn't take too many photos. Entering the temple, looking up, all kinds of buildings are scattered high and low, and they are of different sizes gathered together. Passing through a Tibetan-style building to the square of the monastery, the Eight Treasures Ruyi Pagoda is clearly visible in front of it. It is said that it was built to commemorate the eight merits of Buddha Sakyamuni in his life.
Kumbum Monastery is the birthplace of Master Tsongkhapa, the founder of the Gelug Sect of Tibetan Buddhism, and one of the six major monasteries of the Gelug Sect. This temple has a history of more than 600 years. After years of baptism, its beauty and mystery are even more evident...
Kumbum Monastery is a sacred place for Tibetan Buddhist believers. Although I don’t know much about every allusion and building in the monastery, I followed the crowd of worshipers and walked into the incense-filled Kumbum Monastery. But more and more calm, in this thick Tibetan Buddhist culture, accept the purification of the soul.
Even if you don't believe in religion, the buildings, murals, pile embroidery of Kumbum Monastery are worth your visit. Shuttle through the major palaces of Kumbum Monastery and visit this treasure house of Buddhist culture and art. Every corner of the monastery shows the long history of Tibetan Buddhism and the wisdom of the monks.
【tips】
1. Tickets are 70 yuan per person (but because it is during the epidemic period, so tickets are free)
2. In the temple, the turret and the prayer wheel are all clockwise.
3. In Kumbum Monastery, it is not allowed to take pictures in the scripture courtyard and the main hall.
4. When entering Kumbum Monastery, you must wear formal clothes, and you cannot enter in shorts or skirts.
Plateau Lake—Qinghai Lake
Qinghai Lake, also known as "Cuowenbu", which means "green sea" in Tibetan, is located in the Qinghai Lake Basin in the northwest of Qinghai Province. It is not only the largest inland lake in China, but also the largest saltwater lake in China. It was formed by the collapse of faults between Datong Mountain, Riyue Mountain and Qinghai Nanshan in the Qilian Mountains.
The advantage of chartering a car is that you can travel more freely. When you see a place you like, you can stop and enjoy the beautiful scenery. You are not bound by time at all, and you don’t have to worry about chasing ducks. The scenery of each destination is beautiful, but the scenery along the way is even more fascinating.
In the Northwest in May, you can still see the white snow on the mountains. The only regret is that you can’t see the vast prairie and the golden rapeseed. Frustrated, I went on the road with the mentality of "see it if you can see it, and next time if you can't see it".
Feel like a weathered sphinx?
After traveling all the way, we finally arrived at Qinghai Lake, which is really beautiful. The master said that we had good weather, the blue sky and white clouds printed on the blue lake water, it was really beautiful!
Isn't it beautiful?
We had a great time here, with blue sky, white clouds and lake elves—seagulls.
Chaka Salt Lake, the Realm of the Sky
You say the white clouds in the sky are the tides of the Milky Way
no sweet lovesickness
How can there be drunk wandering and warm snuggling
You said the stars in the sky are just a thousand years of memory
no infatuated waiting
Where is the eternal flicker and inexplicable mystery
Stepping into the realm of the sky beautiful tea card
I see the sun, moon and stars sharing the sky
…
———— "Into the Realm of the Sky"
The song "Into the Realm of the Sky" has made Chaka Salt Lake the yearning of many people, and you can feel the beauty of Chaka Salt Lake in the soulful singing.
Chaka Salt Lake, also known as Chaka or Dabson Nur, is a natural crystalline salt lake located in Chaka Town, Ulan County, Haixi Mongolian and Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province, and one of the four major salt lakes in the Qaidam Basin. "Chaka" is Tibetan, which means "salt pond", which is the salt of Qinghai; "Dabuxunnur" is Mongolian, which also means salt lake.
Chaka Salt Lake is one of the "Four Scenic Spots in Qinghai". It is known as the "mirror of the sky" in China, and was rated as one of the "55 places that people must visit in their lifetime" by the National Tourism Geographic Magazine.
Is it like a dream? The Salt Lake at this moment is undoubtedly a fairyland for everyone, a holy place, like being in a huge mirror world, where everything is symmetrical, the blue and boundless sky, the endless mountains... ...
In the Chaka Salt Lake, the sky is very low, and the big clouds are within reach. Walking in it, you feel like you are in the sky. This fairytale world is beautiful!
【tips】
1. Tickets are 60 yuan, (no charge due to the epidemic) 50 yuan per person for a one-way ride on a small train, and you can choose to take a small train or walk in.
2. Walking barefoot on the lake will hurt the soles of your feet. You can wear shoe covers. If you think they are ugly, you can take them off when taking pictures. (I experienced the pain of wearing sandals without shoe covers)
3. The best shooting location for Chaka is in the depths of the salt lake. If you want to take a good photo, you can go deep without anyone else.
4. You can choose some bright colors for clothes matching, which will be more prominent when compared with the blue sky of the salt lake.
Jasper Lost in the World—Emerald Lake
If Chaka Salt Lake is the realm of the sky, then Dachaidan Emerald Lake is a brand new realm of the sky. Some people may say that since they are all realms of the sky, there is no need to arrange both places in the itinerary. If Chaka Salt Lake is a lady, Emerald Lake is Xiaojiabiyu, the beauty of the two is different.
It was already noon when we came out of Chaka Salt Lake. In order to reach Emerald Lake at the most beautiful time in the evening (Chaka is also several hundred kilometers away from Emerald Lake), we drove towards Emerald Lake after dinner.
Arriving at Dachaidan, after passing a section of primitive gravel road, we came to Emerald Lake. The blue-green lake water and white salt crystals here blend together, quiet and peaceful, just like a gem dropped by God.
(Meet a group of aunts in red dresses, and took a photo of it)
Emerald Lake is named by the Qaidam people because the color of the lake is as beautiful as emerald. These lakes of different sizes, just like God overturned the palette, present the beauty here to the fullest.
Emerald Lake was originally the mining area of the Salt Lake Mining Team of Dachaidan Chemical Plant. After years of mining, it has the beautiful scenery it is today. The high-concentration brine in salt ponds of different sizes, shapes, and depths is called "brine" locally. Due to the different concentrations of minerals contained, it forms a colorful landscape. When we look at the past like this, we see lakes one by one. If we "inspect" from the perspective of God, how spectacular would it be?
The color of Emerald Lake is not single, milk white, mint blue, emerald green... just like the emeralds inlaid on the earth, the white here is pure milk white, the blue here is crystal clear blue, here The green is the emerald green that I fell in love with at a glance.
It may be that the sun was shining when we came, so most of the colors we saw were blue like the sky, and we didn't come across the clear green like the picture we saw before.
The photos taken here are not inferior to the Chaka Salt Lake in the sky. When the weather is calm, you can walk everywhere like a mirror, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds, and even the unreachable Qaidam Snow Peak is reflected in front of you. The mountains and rivers form a magnificent picture, which is beyond words. Being in the middle, looking at the figure at your feet, that kind of feeling can only be deeply experienced when you come here.
Just standing quietly by the salt lake, feeling the coolness of the plateau lake in summer, facing this vast expanse, with the breeze blowing across the cheeks, letting yourself go, enjoying the tranquility and comfort.
When encountering the salt lake at dusk, the sky and the salt lake changed into another exciting scene.
I think God loves this land very much, so he broke the precious gems and scattered them on this land. Nature has created such a beautiful emerald lake with uncanny craftsmanship and accumulated over time, which is impressive at first sight and unforgettable at first sight.
Yadan Devil City, desolate and magnificent
In the northwest of the Haixi Qaidam Basin in Qinghai Province, there is a huge magical land called Yardang landform. Because of the strange and grotesque landforms, the erratic gusts, and the strange and eerie wind sounds due to the strange topography. The rocks in Shangdi are rich in iron, and the geomagnetism is strong, which often makes the compass fail, resulting in the inability to distinguish the direction and get lost, so it is also called Yadan Devil City.
Under the scorching sun, we drove towards Yadan Devil City. The car was speeding on National Highway 315. The desert beyond our eyes gave us a sense of desolation. I was thinking in my heart, if a person came here, would there be a sense of despair? Cen Shen once said, "If you don't see it, you can go to the snowy seaside on the Machuan River, and the flat sand is vast and yellow to the sky. The wind roars at Luntai in September, and the broken stones in the river are as big as a bucket, and the stones are everywhere on the ground with the wind."
But the Northwest is sparsely populated. When the car pokes straight towards the sky on the road, a wild feeling of the desert is as familiar as the picture of the movie. I like this kind of freedom and joy! A herd of camels came into view.
The car stopped on the side of the road, and we entered the devil city. When I saw Yadan Devil City for the first time, I was shocked by everything in front of me. The Yadan landform group stretching for dozens of kilometers without seeing the edge subverted my understanding of Yadan landform.
The Yadan landform here is so large in individual and overall scale, and its strange shape is really rare in the world. Its height is four or five meters low, twenty or thirty meters high, and the length varies from a dozen meters to several hundred meters. The whole is like an ancient city in the Middle Ages. There are streets, buildings, squares, sculptures... The images are vivid and wonderful. These masterpieces of nature can be called uncanny workmanship, incomparably wonderful and amazing!
There is no grass or tree here, no green, and the summer wind hits the face with sand and gravel. Being in this ancient city, you can truly realize how high the sky is, how wide the land is, and how small people are! This feeling can only be described by the word "shock".
Yadan Devil City, this is a magical land, Yadan and the devil, like a devil with a beautiful face, mysterious and tempting~
Petroleum town, photo holy place
I believe many people should have watched the movie "Nine-story Demon Tower", right? The town in the movie that looks like a 3D modeling town—the oil town actually exists, fans of Ghost Clowning Lantern are all looking this way!
Before setting off, I searched for the mystery of the oil town. I thought it would be hidden in an inaccessible place, but I didn't expect it to be beside the road, as if waiting for tourists to relieve its loneliness.
Such an abandoned town full of yellow sand seems to have come to the territory of the cowboys in the American West, which is full of interest!
With excitement, walking into the oil town is like walking into a movie. There are dilapidated buildings and abandoned facilities everywhere. Although it is not as majestic as other scenic spots, it is unexpectedly a place to take pictures. holy place!
The most impressive thing in the movie is the scene where a bus is inserted upside down in the ground. I didn't expect this scene to be not a special effect! Seeing the upside-down bus in the real scene, I was so moved that I wanted to cry, there was no hesitation, no hesitation, no concave shape to take pictures!
Any wall or a scrap car can create the feeling of a blockbuster American western in minutes.
There are also many architectural relics left in the 1980s: government buildings, cultural centers, gas stations, schools and canteens, etc...
They are no longer as radiant as they were when they were prosperous, but they stay here with their backs bent. The natural traces eroded by wind, sand and rain all the year round are not as rough as those artificially destroyed, but there are more traces of time.
There are also some abandoned cars, tanks, factory buildings, overgrown with weeds, and some even passed through these facilities. If you are a photographer or someone who likes to take personal photos, you will definitely jump high on the spot happily. , because it is really suitable for taking pictures!
The dark and gloomy loess color is the background color of a blockbuster film in no man's land, and it is also a mysterious and distant color. It seems that you can become a character in the movie canvas at any stop, walking in the desert with desolation on your back, no matter where you come from No matter where you come or go, just sharing the unique scenery at this moment is enough.
The oil town has a magical power. Walking on the small road here, my heart is always entwined with excitement and desolation. I can't help but want to go to every secluded corner to take pictures and check in the same movie, but seeing this town is devastated. There will also be a sense of desolation, carrying the weight of time, allowing us from modern cities to have a glimpse of past life, and even the changes of the times.

Mingsha Mountain has the roughness of desert yellow sand and the tenderness of clear spring
The beauty of Dunhuang is as distant and long as its name. In this small city in northern Saibei, there is not only history, but also the desert and the Wangqing spring. So when you come to Dunhuang, in addition to the must-see Mogao Grottoes, you can't miss the Crescent Lake in Mingsha Mountain. But because of the epidemic, the Mogao Grottoes were not open, leaving another regret just like the rapeseed, which gave me another excuse to come to the Northwest.
6 kilometers south of Dunhuang, there is a peculiar mountain. It is said that the sand grains are composed of five colors of red, yellow, green, black and white, soft and round. If a person slides down the mountain, the sand under his feet will make a sound, and the footprints of climbing the sand mountain will disappear the next day. This is Mingsha Mountain.
We chose to enter the Mingsha Mountain Scenic Area in the evening. When we entered the scenic area, a spectacular picture came into view. Camels carrying tourists meandered forward in the vast desert, which had a unique style.
When you come to Mingsha Mountain, how can you not enjoy the fun of riding a camel. This is the first time for me to ride a camel. I feel that the camel is still very docile, so don't be afraid of hurting you. In the vast and boundless desert, the long camel team is a beautiful landscape in the desert. On the hunchback, listen to the sound of the camel bell, and enjoy your own time in the desert.
Speaking of Mingsha Mountain, one has to mention the accompanying Crescent Moon Spring, which is named after its shape like a crescent moon in a green basin surrounded by Mingsha Mountain peaks. Crescent Moon Spring is surrounded by Mingsha Mountain, but not covered by quicksand.
Along with the riding camel team, we came to the Crescent Lake. When you arrive at Crescent Spring, if you want to see the whole picture of Crescent Lake, you have to climb to the top of the mountain. I thought it would be easy to climb Mingsha Mountain barefoot, but after climbing for a while, I felt out of breath and the sand under my feet hummed. Only then did I realize that climbing in the desert is not easy. Pedaling in the soft sand, I can't make any effort at all. Fortunately, the scenic area is still very thoughtful, and a climbing ladder embedded in the sand is designed. With it, climbing the mountain becomes much easier.
Standing on Mingsha Mountain, overlooking the Crescent Moon Spring, the crescent-like clear spring is like a young girl, nestling tenderly in the arms of Mingsha Mountain. Compared with the roughness of Mingsha Mountain, Crescent Lake is more tender. It is said that Crescent Moon Spring has been known as one of the "Eight Views of Dunhuang" since the Han Dynasty and "the first spring in the desert". Therefore, when you come to Mingsha Mountain, you must come to Crescent Moon Spring.
Sitting on the top of the sand mountain, looking at the Crescent Lake and the endless sand dunes, I finally realized the desolation, vastness and infinity in the poem "the desert is solitary, the long river is full of sun". In Dunhuang, the sunset time is always very late, and it will not disappear on the horizon until 9 o'clock in the evening, so I always envy the long and interesting summer time in Dunhuang.
Mingsha Mountain, Crescent Spring, Shabushe Spring, and sand springs co-exist, cuddling each other for thousands of years. I have heard such a saying that "Mingsha Mountain cleanses the sex, Crescent Lake cleans the heart", which can give people a different enjoyment. I think it is because of the care of Mingsha Mountain and the company of Crescent Moon Spring that it has such a heart-warming gesture.
Shazhou Night Market, the bustling side of Dunhuang
Lixia is here, and summer nights belong to the night market. Under the flickering lights, there are crowds of people, a dazzling array of goods, endless food stalls, full of fireworks, and all the flavors of life in it.
It seems that every city will have such a night market. When night falls, the lights are blooming. Tourists from all over the world gradually gather in the dimly lit night market, making it extremely lively, and Dunhuang is no exception~
Shazhou Night Market, also known as Dunhuang Night Market, is located on Yangguan East Road in Dunhuang. It is a gathering place for Silk Road delicacies and Silk Road handicrafts. It has distinctive local characteristics and strong folk customs.
When you come to the night market, everyone has a different purpose. And it seems that we came to the night market this time just to eat. We have no choice but to eat wherever we can, so we went straight to the snack area. Here is a collection of famous Dunhuang snacks, such as donkey meat yellow noodles, simmered noodles, stuffed skin, Dunhuang lamb haggis, grilled lamb chops, lamb skewers, etc. There are many varieties. I want to eat everything I see, but I hate my stomach is too small.
Strongly recommend the apricot skin water here, sweet and sour, especially thirst-quenching, the iced one tastes better, I fell in love with it after drinking it once (I am the one who drinks two glasses at a time), it is said that it is made of Li Guangxing from Dunhuang, The apricot skin water that leaves Dunhuang is not so delicious. (I finished drinking and forgot to take a picture)
Of course, there are also a lot of handicrafts, local products, etc., you can browse slowly and choose a few gifts you like to take home. In short, if you want to eat delicious food, buy good-looking ones, and learn about Dunhuang's customs, you can come to Shazhou Night Market.
The most majestic pass in the world - Jiayuguan
When you come to Gansu, of course you have to go to Jiayuguan, which is known as the world's most majestic gate tower. It is one of the three wonders of the Great Wall of China and a famous world cultural heritage!
Jiayuguan is connected to the Great Wall of Heishan in the north and the first pier in the world in the south. It was once known as the throat of Hexi in history. Because of its dangerous terrain and magnificent buildings, it is known as the key to the border.
Standing outside Jiayuguan, you can feel the majesty and magnificence, not only in terms of scale, but also in terms of its architectural equipment. Jiayuguan Guancheng is divided into inner city, outer city, Luocheng and Wengcheng. There is a circle of moats, and the camera can't put them all in. Only by standing at the foot of this pass city can you feel the shock of this huge project.
Hundreds of years ago, Jiayuguan, with its back facing outside the Great Wall, closed the west gate of China firmly, climbed up the tower, and looked from a distance, the Gobi overgrown with wild grass outside the pass was very spectacular in the wind, and the plaque of the most magnificent pass in the world was very high. Hanging up, you can see the endless Gobi in front of your eyes, and the majestic vermilion city tower is particularly majestic against the jade-like snow peaks of Qilian Mountain.
However, through the ages, Jun Mo laughed drunk on the battlefield, how many people fought back in ancient times, and how many elegiac songs of life and death have been witnessed in this majestic desert city?
Sometimes I feel that human beings are as insignificant as a dust, and sometimes I feel as big as a giant. It is hard to imagine what kind of perseverance and belief the Chinese ancestors relied on to build the Great Wall without large mechanical tools. It is the devotion and loyalty of the ancients to defend the country, and the unyielding Chinese blood flows under every inch of land.
The Jiayuguan Tower is like a majestic general guarding the border, wearing golden armored boots and holding a bloody sword, standing straight and majestic on the Jiayuguan city wall, walking slowly to us from thousands of years ago, telling us about those The history he witnessed, those winds, frosts, rains and snows.
Today’s Jiayu is a majestic scenic spot for us to observe history, but it is a place full of sadness for the ancients. Wars are always inevitable at the borders of the country. How many soldiers sleep here forever, leaving homesickness on the city platform Liren's sweat and tears, I approached this city as if I had stepped into history, and the shock and sadness were repeatedly entangled in my heart.
Building the Great Wall is already difficult and dangerous, and it is even more difficult to build on this rugged ridge. This trip to Jiayuguan really made me go from one shock to another without breathing. Standing next to the watchtowers and beacon towers on the city, overlooking the scenery inside and outside the city, it is not as desolate as Jiayuguan. It may be because of relying on the Montenegro, it is not full of yellow sand, and there is a lot more green. In the yellow sand desert, green represents infinite vitality and makes people feel lighter.
Standing here is not only the piers, but also training grounds, tents, drums, chariots, stables... It seems that soldiers and generals can be seen in the tents discussing how to fight against the enemy, for the family and the country , This is where they have devoted their whole life, even if they can only be with this sky and sand all their lives, they are willing to have no regrets.

Oil Paint Overturned by God—Colorful Danxia
The ancients have a poem saying that they don’t look at the snow on the top of Qilian Mountain, and mistook Zhangye for the south of the Yangtze River. Zhangye is like a Gobi water town covered with wind and sand, gentle and delicate but rough and harsh. Its charm is hidden in the cold wind at night. In the endless Gobi Desert, hidden in a story called Spring and Autumn...
On the Hexi Corridor, this piece of colorful Danxia fully expresses the beauty of nature. The color is like Wodan, and it is as bright as a bright glow. In the flow of light and shadow, it is like a paint plate that has been beaten down in the mortal world. Layer upon layer, the cliff is exposed, and the momentum is majestic.
The first time I saw the colorful Danxia, before I had time to admire it, I thought of Zixia Fairy and Monkey King in Journey to the West: My ideal person may not step on the colorful clouds to marry me, but he will accompany me to see it This colorful Danxia took my hand in a colorful magnificence.
Early morning, evening, and after the rain are the best time to take pictures. Although it is not the most beautiful time to go, it is enough to make people linger and forget to return. Standing on the viewing platform, you can look at this magnificent piece of land with well-organized lines and colorful colors. The rocks are as dazzling as an oil painting. They should not be the beautiful scenery in reality. They are really as colorful as Wodan and as bright as bright clouds. It is no regret to come here to see them in life. (But my photography skills are limited and I can't take the effect of the picture below. This picture is for reference.)
Zhangye Colorful Danxia is mainly composed of red gravel, sandstone and mud. It was developed in the red bottom layer from the Jurassic to the Tertiary. general term. There are rolling hills on both sides of the road. Sitting in the car, you can see layers of colorful mountains in the distance, against the blue sky and white clouds, like a masterpiece of oil painting. Come to a mountain top to view the scenery, and be in the five-color ocean, it is enough to enjoy the stunning beauty that is not inferior to the five mountains and mountains.
add location
It’s hard to say that it took tens of thousands of years of rain erosion and weathering to form such strange rocks and rocks. Looking at this group of strange rocks from a distance, they harmoniously show their red and gorgeous figure, and unabashedly show their beauty and enthusiasm to the world. Like the blood-red artery that keeps beating in your body and mine, it is vast and powerful.

A magnificent ending
In this itinerary, the section near the end may be full of regrets, because the rape blossoms are not in bloom, and the Qilian prairie has no grass, but you can see a group of sheep bleating, and black and white yaks, because It rained the night before, the temperature was low, and Qilian was covered with snow, which was really beautiful.
Standing on the viewing platform of Menyuan Rapeseed Blossoms, looking at the continuous Qilian Mountains, and drawing a picture of the golden 100-acre rapeseed flower sea in my heart, it is also a special feeling.
Food Chapter
At the end of the trip, there will be another wave of food temptation. After all, the world of foodies will never be without food, and a world without food is an imperfect world.
