The timeline jumps to, I just finished a lap in Nepal, and I was thinking about how to go to Xinjiang,
It just so happens that the literary and artistic young man K is talking about going to Delingha, a small town famous for Haizi's poems.
Am I like someone with a plan? impossible. At this time, if you don't force a team to form a team, when will you wait?
On the way, I was attracted by a photo and ran to find the undeveloped Emerald Lake. I was so beautiful by it,
Forgive my lack of words, but every time I think of it, I can't help but scream.
The tea card that led to drop by, was eclipsed and became a foil.
Stop, if you want to know more details, go to Qinghai!
P.S. If you only want to read local thoughtful tips, you can skip to the end directly.
The Desolate City of Delingha
"I'm in Delingha tonight. This is a desolate city in the rain, except for those who pass by and live in it."
The small town described by Haizi is secluded and desolate, and it remains so thirty years later.
There are not many pedestrians along the way, and there are only two buses going back and forth in the city. The May Day holiday does not exist here.
Most of the shops on the pedestrian street are closed, and youth hostel owners say they are counting on the peak season months to support themselves.
Taking advantage of the sunshine, move a small bench to sit outside and read a book, it really doesn't feel like the city center.
There are no attractions in Delingha.
The only Haizi Poetry Exhibition Hall is not open in the off-season.
But outside the door there is a stele engraved with poems to read,
For those who like quiet, this is the perfect city.
"Sister, I don't care about humans tonight, I only want you."
Look, many literati are good at talking, unlike us who can only simply say that we miss you.
The turbulent and delicate emotions in the poet's heart cannot be experienced by mere mortals.
Emerald Lake where the fairy naps
Sitting outside in the sun, Little K held a photo in front of my eyes.
Little K: "Do you want to go to Emerald Lake?"
I go."
Little K: "Do you know where it is?"
I have no idea."
Little K rolled his eyes, and I stared back without showing any weakness. Why, it's so beautiful, who cares where it is.
Decisively start with a backpack, take a bus from Delingha to Caidanmu Town, and then prepare to carpool to Emerald Lake to watch the sunset.
In the end, I was told by the younger sister of the youth hostel that there are not many people in such a big youth hostel in the off-season, so we can only hire a taxi there, but the driver may not be willing to wait for you to play.
What? Too much money and no service? After checking the map, it was only about ten kilometers away, and I was so stubborn that I couldn't believe that I couldn't go with my own two legs.
Ask if I will go? Anyway, Emerald Lake is on the edge of Dachaidamu Lake, so go to Renmin West Road first,
As long as you see the surface of the lake and turn inside, there is an old saying that all roads lead to Rome.
In less than two hours, I was slapped in the face. I was young and ignorant. I looked at the nearby lake and I was still ahead, and there was no road.
You have to shuttle in the field, and you need to make a detour when encountering herdsmen grazing sheep, and you may step into the wetland if you are not careful.
Although the muddy road didn't bother us, the adventure ended because I didn't know where to blow my scarf. This is a silly story and can be skipped.
Walking to find Emerald Lake is a grassy wetland that we crossed. During the period, we walked here and there, and when the wind blows away, we will look confused. In addition, the color of the scarf is the same as the grassland with a radius of several thousand acres. Who gave it to me? The courage to believe it can be found? However, sometimes I will have a stupid energy out of thin air, and I will go to fight with something like a fever. Fortunately, I finally found it like a trick, and I was so excited that I was so excited that I almost thought I saw a lake. Thanks to little K who gave up his plan to move on and tossed back and forth with me. In the desolate and windy grassland, if a person was stupid until it was dark, he would be taken away by wolves.
When I was taking pictures of the scarf, the sunset also followed, so I had to go back home, and Minger continued to look for the traces of Emerald Lake.
It is not expected to walk to see the sunrise the next morning, but it is still possible to think about stopping a passing car to give us a ride.
Xiao Duan blocked it, and a van stopped. It happened to be a worker from the Dachaidan Chemical Plant. He stopped by their factory.
It also reminded us that if we want to go to the depths of Emerald Lake, we have to take a large truck with salt and go a long way.
The big brother of the truck was incredible when I saw the small lake on the road exclaiming.
He said that whenever he had a holiday, he would take his family to travel to the mainland.
Because the air is good and the vegetation is lush, unlike here, where you can only see green grass for two months a year.
Some people would say that traveling is going from a place where you are bored to a place where others are bored,
But I think it is because people like to envy what others have, and forget to cherish the beauty in front of them.
There are large and small lakes scattered around the factory area.
The Emerald Lake was originally formed after the potholes left by salt mining, and then accumulated water.
It refers to the group of lakes.
Every few steps you can see them take different shapes,
After the sun shines, the lake water can switch between ice blue and emerald green at will.
Meide felt that he had come to a paradise on earth, like a fairy traveling down to earth, and after a short rest, the ultimate scene was left behind with a wave of dust.
The wonder is that each lake may be related to the minerals contained in the lake,
The refraction angle of sunlight in different time periods,
Or the current weather presents a different color.
You don't need to look for the scenery, the scenery will come to you naturally, does it look like the eye of the sky that was once popular?
I love little surprises like this.
Having seen the beauty of so many places, only Emerald Lake has such a pure and clean color, and I want to marvel again every time I mention it.
Originally wanted to go down to play in the water, but the biting lake water immediately drove us back to the shore.
When I came here, I saw a few guys preparing to take off their clothes for a swim, and finally felt that I would be frozen and went to the emergency room, so I shook my head and left.
If I have to choose the top card in my mind, Emerald Lake must be one of the beautiful and stunning girls, and I will proudly introduce her existence.
However, its value has doubled this year, and it is often seen on major tourist routes, and it has begun to be captured by dense crowds of people.
At that time, at a glance, nothing but emptiness was emptiness,
You can tell how many people you saw on the road by stretching out your fingers, except for a bus parked in the distance.
Find your favorite lake to sit at will, completely enjoy this comfortable time, thinking how good time is at this moment.
Three-entry tea card does not see the mirror
When little K was sad and tangled when he entered Xinjiang from Xining or Dunhuang, he was deceived by me with the beautiful starry sky and charming sunrise.
But I personally think that this guy is deeply attracted by the word "free admission", and I want to make up for the regret that I didn't see the mirror of the sky two years ago.
Adhering to the principle of saving the province, we dragged little K from the urban area to the scenic spot, to the place where I doubt life,
Wherever I go in the past few days, there is no one there. It may also be because not many people waste time walking with their legs.
I guess it’s my bad luck. It rained heavily two years ago. Two years later, I stood here on the radio and reported a third-level wind speed, which made the water on the lake sparkling.
It is rare that the romantic cell explodes, and I want to wait to see the starry sky, but the person is frozen into a bear by the strong wind,
Looking around, there is no place to shelter from the wind except the toilet, so I can only retreat in despair.
The next day I was still in my sleep, and I was woken up by Little K’s yelling, saying that the sun was out and there was no wind, so I could continue to go to Chaka.
The moment I walked out the door, I just wanted to curse, you stood in the middle of the four walls and told me there was no wind,
If you are not willing to come here for nothing, let's go again, the teacher taught us not to lie.
Hehe, sure enough, it was only a day later, and the wind speed on Chaka's bulletin board had reached level seven, which forced it to tears.
Fortunately, free tickets in the off-season gave me the confidence to enter the Salt Lake three times without seeing the mirror.
It was the beginning of May when I went there, and Chaka was still in the dry season, and I could see the salt land on one side and the shallow lake on the other.
When the pier in the middle of the lake goes into the water, you can still catch a glimpse of the reflection.
If you take off your shoes and go down barefoot, waiting to be screamed by the particles of the salt floor,
The photos I saw before dare to take pictures with my life.
Therefore, the water is shallow and shallow, and there are large and small karst caves all over it. If you step on the air, you will sink into it. You still have to be careful about your own revolutionary capital.
I wouldn't say I was raped by the hotel lord,
Driving a super cool maroon tricycle to pick up and drop off the station,
They also gave us a warm welcome on our next visit.
go shopping
I didn't eat too many special foods on this road in Qinghai, because a bowl of noodles can pry my whole stomach.
There is a Dexiao Snack Bar in Xiaoxin Street, which is the way pointed by the brother of the youth hostel. He said that they all like to go there, and the taste is not bad. If they go there at night, there is a night market outside.
His family's milk egg fermented glutinous rice is full of ingredients, and an additional bowl is added
Qinghai handmade yogurt is different from other places in that there will be a layer of clear oil floating on it.
If you don't like the taste, you can gently peel off the milk skin and taste the milk inside.
But my friend told me that when his grandma made yogurt when he was young,
After the milk is boiled, oil will drip on it, and now I still like the yellow layer,
As for the reason, I don't know, maybe it's that memory that I miss.
A small shop next to the Jian'an community on Delingha Road. I went to it a few times and didn't pay attention to the name, but the taste of the yogurt is quite delicate.
There is a white camel bone tea restaurant on Dazhong Street, which serves Northwestern cuisine. A local friend recommended its bone meat.
After eating, the bones are weighed. For me, who doesn't like to eat meat, I can easily kill the whole piece, and the tender meat is dipped in sauce.
unfinished tail
The week in Qinghai ended slowly, and I went to Xining to meet old friends whom I hadn’t seen for a long time.
After chatting and eating, I still envy those who have clear goals, and I still stumble on the way to find them.
When traveling, I always like to walk slowly, look carefully, and stay there for a while if I like,
The stay may be for a view, a piece of food, a person, or just the inner feeling.
Zhenger Bajing Tips
1. The peak season in Delingha is June, July and August. There are basically no tourists from winter to May of the next year. The only Haizi Poetry Exhibition Hall in the city is closed in the off-season. If you take the return trip on the Qinghai-Tibet Line, you can get off directly at Delingha Station.
2. There is a direct bus from Delingha to Dachaidan Town, 45 yuan. It is too far to walk from Dachaidan Town to Emerald Lake. It is recommended to carpool. It is 100 yuan for a one-way taxi in the off-season. In the peak season, there are buses or vans in the town Can fight. Emerald Lake is relatively remote, and there is nothing around it that has not been developed yet. If you are going to play for a long time by yourself, it is recommended to bring water.
3. Up to now, the Emerald Lake does not require tickets, but it should be a scenic spot under construction, and it will be a matter of time to collect tickets. It's not popular yet, but it's worth a special trip.
4. There is no direct bus from Dachaidan Town to Chaka Salt Lake, you need to go back to Delingha first, and then transfer to a bus to Chaka Town, 47 yuan.
5. Chaka Salt Lake is free for Zhejiang people, it is said that it is thanks to their capital construction. In the off-season, there are times when there are direct free tickets, but you must be mentally prepared for the dry season. The reflection is not obvious, so it is not suitable for shooting people. The town center is about seven or eight kilometers away from the scenic spot. If you don’t want to walk, it’s cheaper to take a taxi. In peak season, there will be a train to the entrance of the scenic spot.
6. Don’t leave garbage in Emerald Lake. If there is no development, no one will manage it. Who would want to take pictures of the beautiful scenery in the garbage dump after a long time; of course, don’t throw paper and plastic shoe covers beside Chaka Salt Lake, off-season Sometimes it seems that the cleaners have no time to clean up, so try to protect the environment and hygiene in any place.
