The lake water is very blue. July is the time when Qinghai Lake is very beautiful. 🍁Chaka Salt Lake: a paradise in the sky, but please note that salt water is corrosive. If you choose to walk instead of taking the train, it is necessary to rent shoe covers. 🍁Zhangye Danxia: A palette overturned by God ~ One of the largest Danxia landforms in China. 🍁Emerald Lake: The emerald lake water is the filming location of the movie "Salt Lake Project". Take a seat on the crystal boat, rent a drone to take photos and check in, and you can create blockbuster movies in minutes. 🍁Crescent Spring in Mingsha Mountain: The spring is shaped like a crescent moon, a pearl in the desert, and a quiet and mysterious beauty appears before your eyes. 🍁Mogao Grottoes: commonly known as the Thousand Buddha Caves, a treasure of Chinese history and civilization, a world cultural heritage, with more than 45,000 square meters of murals preserved. 🍁Menyuan rapeseed flower sea: Menyuan's hundreds of miles of rapeseed flowers are located on the southeast foot of the Qilian Mountains. It is a large-scale rapeseed flower sea planted in a continuous area. It is in full bloom in July, and it is a popular check-in spot.

The water quality in Northwest China is relatively hard, so it is recommended to drink boiled water⚠️Do not do strenuous exercise to avoid altitude sickness⚠️The ultraviolet rays in Northwest China are strong, so you must do a good job of sun protection and moisturizing⚠️The diet in Northwest China is generally based on meat and pasta. Friends who are not used to it can bring some snacks
