"Exploding! Qinghai is simply the pinnacle of a fairyland on earth, miss it and you'll cry for a year!"

Qinghai, the place closest to heaven In the northwest border of our motherland, there is a mysterious and vast land—Qinghai. It is like a magnificent and grand painting, spread between the sky and earth, waiting for every traveler to unveil its mysterious veil. Entering Qinghai, the first thing that catches your eye is the mirror-like blue Qinghai Lake. It is nature's most generous gift, with its vast and boundless surface shimmering under the sunlight, like a huge sapphire embedded on the plateau. On the lakeside, golden rapeseed flowers bloom wildly, contrasting with the blue lake and white clouds, forming a poetic and picturesque scene. A gentle breeze carries the fragrance of flowers, making one feel as if they are in a fairyland. Moving forward, Chaka Salt Lake is like a huge mirror of the sky, reflecting the blue sky, white clouds, and distant mountains. Standing in the center of the salt lake feels like stepping into a dreamlike world where the water and sky meet, making it hard to tell where the sky ends and the lake begins. Here, you can stroll on the salt flats, feeling the coolness and softness under your feet, or take a small train to shuttle across the salt lake and enjoy this breathtaking scenery. Besides the magnificent natural landscapes, Qinghai’s cultural customs are also unique. The solemn and majestic architecture of Ta'er Monastery, its colorful murals, and exquisite embroidery all showcase the profoundness of Tibetan Buddhism culture. Entering the monastery, listening to the melodious chanting, and feeling the power of faith brings peace to the heart. Qinghai’s cuisine is also not to be missed. The hand-pulled lamb is tender and juicy, and the yogurt is sweet and sour, with every bite full of rich ethnic flavor. Qinghai, this magical land, with its unique natural scenery and profound cultural heritage, attracts countless tourists to explore. Come to Qinghai, start a journey of the soul, and let your spirit be cleansed and elevated on this pure land.
