🧭 Programme du voyage

Xining - Qinghai Lake - Heimahe - Rubber Mountain - Chaka/Delingha

In the morning, the driver will pick up the group at a designated location in Xining (the specific departure time and meeting point will be notified by the tour leader). Then drive to Huangyuan County, where your Qinghai journey begins. After passing through Riyue Mountain and Daotang River, arrive at the "Pearl of the Plateau," 【Qinghai Lake】. As China's largest inland lake, Qinghai Lake is like a "cyan sea," vast with blue waves, surrounded by high mountains, with grasslands spread around it, large stretches of golden rapeseed flowers blooming, and cattle, sheep, and prayer flags dotted among them. (Visiting a Tibetan Qinghai Lake viewpoint is recommended) or (you may visit Erlangjian Scenic Area at your own cost, admission 90 yuan). After visiting Qinghai Lake, continue along the ring lake highway to the national 4A-level scenic area 【Chaka Salt Lake】, selected as one of the "55 places you must visit in a lifetime." The clear silver-white lake surface reflects the blue sky and white clouds. Strolling in the salt lake feels like walking above the clouds. You can take a retro mini train along the tracks deep into the heart of the lake, placing yourself in a world of salt. (Chaka Salt Lake admission is 60 yuan, mini train is 50 yuan/person one way, sightseeing time is about 3 hours, expenses at your own cost.) Overnight in Chaka/Delingha depending on the day's circumstances. Warm Tips 1. If you want to enter the fenced areas of Qinghai Lake and take photos of local residents, cattle, and sheep, you need to ask about the price in advance. 2. Before visiting Chaka Salt Lake, it is best to prepare some wet wipes, as salt grains or salt water can cause some skin damage. 3. Qinghai Lake and Chaka Salt Lake are both at an altitude of around 3,000 meters. Please be careful not to engage in strenuous exercise and ensure sufficient sleep to avoid altitude sickness. 4. In plateau areas, ultraviolet rays are strong and the temperature difference between day and night is large, so attention should be paid to sun protection and warmth. Even in summer, warm clothing is necessary.

Delingha - 315 U-shaped Highway - Dongtai Jinaier Lake - Water Yardang - Nanbaxian Yardang

Depart in the morning to check in at the most beautiful G315 [Internet-famous U-shaped Highway], a great spot for all kinds of highway photos. When taking photos, be careful of passing vehicles. Continue to China's Maldives—[Dongtai Jinaier Lake]. Due to its high copper content, the lake water appears bright green, with white salt crystals along the shore. The pristine lake seems even more simple and charming. Do not miss this pure Tiffany blue. Then we continue to visit another water wonder, the national 4A scenic area [Water Yardang]. Rich and varied yardang formations are distributed in different shapes throughout the lake. Viewed from the air, the yardang in the water facing the same direction float spectacularly in the deep blue or emerald green lake water like warships awaiting departure. Finally, return to Dachaidan for accommodation. On the way, pass [Nanbaxian Yardang], where long strip-shaped earth mounds and trenches alternate. Desolation is the keynote here. Driving distance: 570 km, depending on group size, 2-6 seat off-road vehicle/business vehicle Warm Tips 1. Visiting the core scenic area of Dongtai Jinaier Lake requires a one-kilometer hike. The lake water has high salinity, so it is recommended to bring a pair of slippers. 2. Today's attractions are mostly yardang landscapes, so it is recommended to prepare suitable clothing. 3. Today's itinerary attractions are all far from the city, so it is recommended to bring your own food and drinking water.

🍽️ Breakfast, lunch and dinner (at own expense) 🏨 Dachaidan Wanfa Hotel / Yunhai Tianqu Hotel

Dachaidan - Oil Town - Dunhuang Ancient City - Dunhuang (desert camping)

In the morning, depart from Dachaidan, drive on the vast desert highway of the northwest and experience the unique road scenery of the northwest, then arrive at Aksai Oil Town, a filming location of Nine-Story Demon Tower. The abandoned small town still retains the ruins of a kindergarten, buses, schools, clubs, and factories. The atmosphere of apocalyptic decay is quite striking. You can stop here briefly and take photos as souvenirs. (Scenic area 20 yuan/person, at your own expense.) After a short stay in Oil Town, we head directly to Dunhuang. If time permits, you can visit Dunhuang Ancient City on your own. In the evening, go desert camping, which you may choose whether to participate in. The desert camping program is rich and includes desert motorcycles, sand sliding, local hot pot, beer and barbecue, desert concerts, fireworks shows, bonfire parties, and Guozhuang dance. After the activities, tents and sleeping bags will be distributed for camping in the desert. When the weather is clear, the starry sky is brilliant, and you may even have a chance to see shooting stars. Driving distance: 350 km (depending on the number of people, 2-6 seat off-road vehicle/business vehicle) Warm reminders 1. The temperature difference between day and night at the campsite is large. Please bring enough warm clothing. 2. Desert camping is a special project. You will spend the night in a tent, and the conditions are not comparable to a hotel. 3. Since desert camping is a complimentary project, you may choose not to participate, but we will not refund any fees.

The brilliant and exquisite flying apsara murals, the masterfully crafted painted sculptures, and the rows upon rows of caves are humanity's most precious cultural treasures. In the afternoon, visit Mingsha Mountain [Crescent Lake] (110 yuan/person). These are two mutually complementary scenic spots: a clear spring shaped like a crescent moon surrounded by hills piled up from fine sand. Their symbiotic and peculiar landscape has enjoyed the reputation of "one of the eight great desert landscapes" since ancient times. As the sun sets, it adds even more beauty to the sand hills and clear spring. Here you can participate in camel riding, sand sledding, and various other desert entertainment activities at your own expense. In the evening, you can arrange your own activities. You can go taste the food at Shazhou Night Market, or go watch the large-scale live-action performance "Encore Dunhuang."

After breakfast, depart from Dunhuang, pass through Guazhou, where you can taste the local Hami melons, then head to 【Jiayuguan】 (admission 110 yuan, sightseeing time 1.5 hours). After lunch, begin visiting the scenic area. The magnificent frontier pass of the north stands majestically beyond the frontier. Standing on the solemn and serious city wall and gazing into the distance, you can vaguely see the majestic dominance of the "First Pass Under Heaven" from back then. Amid the lingering sense of Jiayuguan's profound weight of time, we head to the next stop, 【Qicai Danxia Town】. After arriving at the hotel and checking in, go to 【Zhangye Danxia Landform Scenic Area】. Place yourself in a world of color; God's palette has been overturned here. Red, yellow, green, white, orange, and gray colors clearly and alternately cover the rolling mountains. Under the sunlight, this is a colorful fairy-tale world. This is the uncanny workmanship of nature and also a gift from heaven. Watch the Danxia sunset and let the spectacular scenery shock your soul.

Zhangye - Biandukou Scenic Area - Qilian Grassland - Menyuan Rapeseed Flowers - end in Xining

Depart in the morning. After breakfast in Zhangye, drive along the most beautiful rural road, passing the [Biandukou Scenic Area]. In July, when rapeseed flowers are in full bloom, Biandukou is picturesque, and the road to Qilian is accompanied by flowers all the way. This is a journey accompanied by the Qilian Mountains. You can view the beautiful [Qilian Mountains] from the vehicle. The high mountain snow never melts year-round; on clear days, the snow-capped mountains and glaciers are magnificent, while on rainy days, clouds and mist shroud them like a fairyland. Next, visit the famous [Qilian Grassland], rated as one of "China's Six Most Beautiful Grasslands." Under a deep blue sky dotted with white clouds and linked snow-capped mountains, on the flat green grassland, horses, cattle, and sheep are leisurely and at ease.

Continue onward, and you can fully enjoy the snowy mountain scenery of Gangshika Snow Peak in the distance. Then we arrive at the national 4A scenic area [Menyuan]. Every year in mid-July comes Menyuan's most beautiful season, when nearly a hundred li of rapeseed flowers bloom in full splendor, a sweeping golden yellow filling the eyes, while vigorous highland barley refuses to be outdone and claims large swaths of green view.
