It gained fame early due to its proximity to Xining and Qinghai Lake, but it's somewhat inferior to other salt lakes that have sprung up in recent years. Those who like a white, mirror-like surface can go, but it's quite dependent on the weather and timing.

The Tibetan Culture Museum offers a truly impressive experience, providing a more systematic and comprehensive understanding of Tibetan history and culture. The exhibition layout is clear, presenting a complete range of topics from prehistoric civilization and religious art to folk customs and architectural styles. In particular, the displays of Thangka paintings, Buddha statues, and ritual implements are numerous, of high quality, and exquisitely detailed, allowing visitors to directly appreciate the solemnity and delicacy of Tibetan Buddhist art.

Absolutely worth a visit! Kumbum Monastery is the center of Tibetan Buddhism in Northwest China and enjoys a high reputation in China and Southeast Asia! It is a treasure trove of architecture, painting, and Buddhist culture! Very satisfied!

The bus costs 60 yuan per person, and the ride is really long, haha. The colors of the scenic area are beautiful, very beautiful. You must go when the weather is good, otherwise it's not really green or emerald green.

- Unique and spectacular landforms: The Water Yadan Scenic Area is the only water-based Yadan landform group in the world, known as the "Water Devil City". The Yadan mounds are of various shapes and sizes, scattered in the blue Duck Lake, forming a beautiful picture of "red cliffs reflected in water", making visitors feel as if they have entered a magical otherworld.

It's beautiful. Although it's called Emerald Lake, it has all sorts of colors—blue, yellow, green—but the most beautiful is Tiffany Blue. It matches my gourd perfectly, and it looks even better in person than in photos.

Off-season travel is great! No need to queue or crowds. We were a small group (AB026N) led by Mr. Cao, and the itinerary was very well arranged. We encountered heavy snow in the morning and witnessed the snow scenery of Ta'er Monastery. When we went to Lajishan, the sun came out, and Mr. Cao even stopped at a place we thought was beautiful for us to take pictures. The whole trip was both relaxed and well-connected. The off-season views of Riyue Mountain and Qinghai Lake were also breathtaking.

It's a small zoo. If you're not interested in seeing the pandas, just buy a regular ticket. Seeing the Pallas's cat and lynx is largely a matter of luck; we only saw a Pallas's cat on our second visit, and we didn't see a lynx at all.

The Qinghai-Tibet border landscape is breathtaking, the fluttering prayer flags create a wonderful atmosphere, and the legend of Princess Wencheng adds to the charm! A must-see for anyone passing through, the scenery is magnificent, the Tibetan culture is rich, and the price is great!

The hotel does not have a navigation system, so it is best to ask the hotel staff before going. The staff was very attentive and even upgraded us to a larger RV for free, which was very nice (｡•̀ᴗ-)
