Heimahe Township - China Travel

introduce

Heimahe Township is located on the west bank of Qinghai Lake, about 220 kilometers away from Xining City, where the Heima River flows into Qinghai Lake. This is also the starting point of the Qinghai Lake Ring Road. Heimahe Township, located on the west bank of the lake, is one of the ideal places to watch the sunrise of Qinghai Lake. Autumn is a good time to watch the sunrise. Heimahe Township is also the starting point of Huanhu West Road (Huanhu Road). The more than 40-kilometer Huanhu West Road from Heimahe Township to Shi Naihai Township is a relatively beautiful section of Qinghai Lake. This section of the road presents different scenery in different seasons: in May, wildflowers bloom and birds fly; in August, tens of thousands of acres of rape blossoms bloom by the lake; and in October, the Heima River grassland returns to calm.

The sunrise of the Heima River is indeed very charming, and it takes luck to encounter a complete sunrise. If there are consecutive sunny days, you may not be able to see a good sunrise, because the high temperature will evaporate the lake water, and thick clouds and fog will form on the lake in the early morning, and the sun will be hidden behind. The day before I went, it was raining heavily, and the temperature was so low that no clouds could form. I was lucky enough to meet the sun in the early morning. The chartered driver ran this route for five years, and only encountered it twice. Having said that, if the weather is not promising, just adjust the plan. The food and accommodation in Heimahe are not ideal, or even bad, and it is still in the hypoxic zone, which is very uncomfortable. It is recommended to make more backup plans. However, it is very beautiful to leave the Heima River and go to the west bank, and the Qilian Mountain grassland is very beautiful.

This section of the Black Horse River is the most beautiful section of Qinghai Lake, and the Black Horse River on the west bank of the lake is one of the best places to watch the sunrise of Qinghai Lake. Be sure to get up early. We went to the shore at 5 o'clock in the morning and the shore was already full of people. It was also colder and we needed to wear a lot. Then wait for the sunrise little by little, watching the sun rise from the distance little by little, that feeling is really beautiful. The first two photos were taken by my colleagues with a SLR, they are great. The back was taken with my Fuji mirrorless camera. It is recommended to stay near the Heima River, and the conditions for living in a tent are a bit difficult. In short, a very different experience, five-star recommendation.

The Black Horse River is located on the west bank of Qinghai Lake, about 220 kilometers west of Xining, and is the starting point for cycling around Qinghai Lake. Tourists who travel around Qinghai Lake for more than two days, whether they are in a group or carpool, usually choose to stay in Heima River on the first night. Because this is an excellent place to watch the sunrise of Qinghai Lake, and secondly, the dining and accommodation here are the most mature along Qinghai Lake. Walking westward for more than 70 kilometers along National Highway 109 from Erlangjian Scenic Area is Heimahe Township Town. There are many hotels in the town. The peak travel season in July and August is the most expensive time for accommodation in Heimahe. There are two types of accommodation. One is The various hotels and hotels in Heimahe Township have relatively good conditions. Generally, a room costs about 500 yuan. Don’t try to live in a crowded place. The boss will check the house at night, and if there are more than 2 people, you will have to make up the money, and you can go to the lake to see The sunrise is far away; first, there are all kinds of tents and prefab houses along the shore of Qinghai Lake. The lake is just outside the door. The accommodation here is small in scale and not high in grade. Most of the standard rooms do not have private bathrooms. The price of bathrooms is extremely high, and it is difficult to book online. In the summer, I went to tent hotels and board houses where I could live directly by the lake. The bed was covered with cotton batting, and two beds of cotton batting and blankets were covered, so the problem of keeping warm could be ignored. There is a lake when you go out, the conditions are just enough, there is no WIFI and you can't take a shower, but it is very convenient to watch the sunrise in the morning. 13-16 kilometers away from Shanghuanhu West Road in Heimahe Township is the closest point to the lake. You can touch the water of Qinghai Lake within a few minutes of walking off the road. We lived in a prefabricated house, which was brought by the carpool driver, 120 yuan per bed, usually 80 to 120 yuan, if the price is too outrageous, you will definitely be scammed, and the driver’s accommodation is provided by the boss for free. Go westward along National Highway 109 from Heimahe Township to visit Chaka Salt Lake.
