The Milky Way in Qinghai is breathtaking

Qinghai is home to many photogenic attractions, including natural attractions such as Qinghai Lake and Chaka Salt Lake, and cultural attractions such as Ta'er Monastery and Dongguan Mosque. Here are some of the best places to take photos in Qinghai: Natural Attractions - Qinghai Lake: The largest inland lake in China, known as the "most beautiful lake in China." In July and August, the rapeseed flowers bloom, creating a beautiful picture with the lake and cattle and sheep. In winter, you can see the blue ice spectacle. The flower sea and lake are connected from the Qinghai Lake Fishery to Erlangjian. The Luohou Pass Observation Deck offers a panoramic view. The West Road around the lake is a great place to watch the sunrise. The Jinsha Bay Scenic Area is a great place to watch the sunset.  - Chaka Salt Lake: Known as the "Mirror of the Sky," the lake surface is like a mirror, perfectly reflecting the blue sky, white clouds, and mountains. There are many photo spots at the Munao Zongge Square. The dead tree at the Xinxin Xiangyin Station is a unique photo spot. The salt beach at the Jinghu Station glitters in the sunlight.  - Dachaidan Emerald Lake: A magnesium sulfate subtype salt lake, the lake water is light green, emerald green, and dark blue, alternating and reflecting each other, crystal clear, like emerald, making it a great photo background.  - Wusute Water Yadan Geological Park: Located in the heart of the Qaidam Basin, it is the only water Yadan landform in the world. The Yadan landforms of various shapes are distributed in the lake, like a sea castle. The photos taken here are visually stunning against the blue sky, white clouds, and lake water.  - Eboliang: Known as the place on Earth that most resembles Mars, the unique Yadan landform is like a "castle," with varying heights and depths of sand slopes. Taking photos here feels like being on the surface of Mars.  Cultural Attractions - Ta'er Monastery: The birthplace of Tsongkhapa, the founder of the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism, with exquisite butter sculptures, murals, and pile embroidery. The Eight Treasures Ruyi Pagoda is a popular photo spot, and the prayer flags are also a great place to take photos.  - Dongguan Mosque: A famous mosque in Xining and one of the largest mosques in northwest China, with a long history, large scale, and exquisite architecture. Its unique Islamic architectural style and exquisite interior decoration make it a great photo subject.  - Qinghai Tibetan Culture Museum: A museum themed on Tibetan culture, with a strong Tibetan style exterior and a large collection of precious Tibetan cultural relics. Taking photos in front of the museum or in suitable areas inside the museum allows you to experience the unique charm of Tibetan culture.
