Qinghai LakeIt is the largest inland lake in China and the highest saltwater lake in the world, and is known as the pearl of the plateau and the mirror of the sky.

Cycling around the lake, golden butter cauliflowers, turquoise grasslands, majestic snow-capped mountains, all with a clear filter unique to the plateau.

The skyline is the same color as the water and the sky, and the white clouds roll in a vigorous attitude, as if the spirits in the sky are dancing freely.

Chaka Salt LakeThe lake and mountains are spectacular, and it is one of the "55 places that people should go to in their lifetime" recommended by National Tourism Geographic magazine.

Walking on the lake is like walking on the clouds, the water reflects the sky, the sky is grounded, and people walk in the lake, just like swimming in a painting.

Great Chaidan Emerald LakeIt is a tear left in the Qaidam Basin, adding a touch of tenderness to the lonely and desolate cliffs.

The crystal clear water of the lake, depending on the concentration of minerals it contains, presents a scene of changing colors when illuminated by the sun.

Drive for a desert off-road carnival

When you reach the top in an off-road vehicle, you will be greeted by endless desert peaks and the sunset in the distance, which will be unforgettable for a lifetime.

With several kilometers of sand dunes and countless camel caravans, I seemed to see the high-spirited Han boy on the Silk Road.

U-shaped roadIt is a section of the G315 National Highway in Qinghai Province, known as "the most desolate highway in China", and the signs of life seem to be faint.

The yellow sand on both sides is boundless, the vast Gobi is continuous, and a straight road is connected to the horizon in the distance, pointing straight to the sky.

Zhangye colorful DanxiaIt is a complex area of Danxia landform and hilly landscape, and is one of the seven most beautiful Danxia landforms in China.

Under different redox conditions, these rock formations show a variety of colors such as red, purple red, yellow-green, gray-black, etc., which are beautiful.

If the Silk Road is a ribbon, then the colorful Danxia on this ribbon is a rainbow that flies down to the earth.

There are many Yadan landforms in China, but there is only one in the world on the waterUsut Yadan Devil's Town.

This is due to the movement of the earth's crust in the Tadam Basin, which allows groundwater to flow into the territory of Yadan, like a mighty fleet, ready to go.

Aiken SpringsThe water temperature is about 30 degrees Celsius, and it gushes half a meter high all year round, and everyone who has been there is amazed, and it is regarded as the "devil's eye".

Due to the high sulphur content, there is no grass growing where the spring water flows, and even if birds and beasts accidentally approach, they will flee in a hurry.

Looking down from the air, it looks like an eye embedded in the earth, with blue-green eyeballs and red eye sockets, mysterious and weird.

Every summer, 600,000 acres of rape flowers are flooded with layers of golden waves, intertwined with green barley, with another year's beauty as promised.

The yellow flowers are long, the bees are busy, and as far as the eye can see, it looks like a huge oil painting slowly unfolding, sweeping this small plateau city.
