2 Days 1 Night Ultimate Qinghai Lake Experience to Blow Up Your Social Media

Sailing yachts, RV camping, desert parties! June to August is the peak beauty season of Qinghai Lake! Feel the cool 20°C breeze, this summer is perfect for a trip~ Itinerary Reference👉🏻 Day 1️⃣: Depart from Xining → Sailing → Erlangjian Scenic Area → Jinsha Bay ATV/Camel Riding → Bonfire night at Qinghai Lake View Hotel Day 2️⃣: Lakeside sunrise → Cycling around the lake → Return trip 🚤 Must-try Experiences ✅ Sailing and Speedboats · Ride the Waves of Qinghai Lake The new top trend! Sit on a luxury sailboat and enjoy a 360° unobstructed view of the deep blue lake, the boat comes with built-in BGM (surround sound while feeling the lake breeze is amazing), and you can even brush past seagulls~ ✅ Erlangjian Peninsula · The “Little Maldives” Alternative Take the small train straight to the heart of the peninsula (route: scenic area entrance → dock cross → Erlangjian Peninsula), barefoot on the west side beach, chasing seagulls, when the weather is good the lake water changes from blue to green, like a natural filter! 📸 At dusk, catch the “Tibetan Plateau version of sunset,” with pink and purple skies reflecting on the lake, breathtakingly beautiful ✅ Jinsha Bay · Desert Adrenaline Rush 🔸 Beach ATV: 80° steep slope rush! Full throttle and yellow sand flies, maximum thrill (beginners choose double-seat ATV, coach accompanies for safety) 🔸 Camel Riding: Leisurely cross the sand dunes, feel the “weightless sway” like on the Silk Road. Camel bells + desert + lake backdrop, a perfect photo spot 🏡 Accommodation Recommendations: 🔹 RV Camping Site Stay in British-style trailer RVs, watch the Milky Way through the skylight, the campsite has a BBQ garden + archery club, perfect for family trips ✨ Room Selection Guide: Garden wooden cabins offer strong privacy, with terraces facing the pasture~ 🔹 Lakeside Original Villa Tents White tents scattered among the dunes, open the door to Qinghai Lake! At night, gather around the stove to brew tea and listen to the waves, wake up to birdsong in the morning (tents have heating, friendly for those with altitude sickness) 🔹 Qinghai Lake View International Hotel Excellent location, 5-minute walk to the lakeside. At night, Tibetan brothers lead the Guozhuang dance, dancing around the bonfire, the atmosphere is electrifying 🎨 Remember to check in at the cultural and creative store before leaving, collect stamps and fridge magnets, and take your Qinghai Lake memories home 💡 Tips 🚗 Transportation: Xining → Qinghai Lake 2-hour drive ⚠️ Altitude sickness warning: Don’t wash your hair on the first day! Prepare oxygen bottles and glucose oral liquid, proven effective~
