A detailed guide to the Northwest for seven days and six nights, suitable for sisters to travel

The Northwest is very suitable for travel during this period✅, but remember to wear sunscreen! The UV rays are very strong! Friends who come here must use both physical and chemical sunscreen! The attractions in Northwest China are relatively scattered. I have compiled a detailed travel guide for everyone. The May Day holiday is also very suitable for travel. Come and take a look 👀~ - 🌈 Weather and temperature secrets 🌡 🧊The Qinghai-Gansu region is full of spring in April, with temperatures ranging from -2℃ to 8℃. There is a big temperature difference between morning and evening, so remember to bring a thick coat! 🧊The temperature rises in May, 5℃ to 20℃, mainly spring clothes, but you still need to keep warm in the morning and evening 🧊The temperature in June is comfortable, ranging from 7℃ to 24℃. You can wear short sleeves during the day, but you still need to wear a jacket at night. The average temperature in July and August is 15-30℃, and the temperature rises further - ⚠️ Things to note when traveling to Northwest China ❗Drink more water when you come to the Northwest, and remember to bring a thermos bottle ❗Avoid strenuous exercise to avoid altitude sickness ❗The ultraviolet rays in the northwest are strong, so you need to wear sunglasses, hats and facial masks ❗The diet in the Northwest is mainly meat and pasta. Remember to drink more water and eat more fruits to avoid getting angry. - 👗 Outfit suggestions: The temperature difference between morning and evening is large, and the early morning and evening are cool. It is recommended to wear warm sweaters, thin cotton clothes and other clothes to resist the cold At noon, as the sun shines, the temperature rises. You can wear less clothes and put on light and comfortable clothes. - 🍱Food recommendations: ✨Qinghai cuisine: Qinghai’s cuisine is mainly halal, cold noodles 🍜, hand-pulled lamb 🍖, and Qinghai yogurt 🥛 are special delicacies that cannot be missed 😋 ✨Gansu cuisine: Gansu's cuisine is equally mouth-watering, donkey meat yellow noodles 🥡 mutton soup steamed bun 🍲 is the local signature cuisine Donkey meat yellow noodles are famous for their unique taste and rich nutrition, while mutton soup steamed buns are popular among tourists for their rich soup and soft and glutinous steamed buns. - 🚙🚙🚙🚙 Qinghai Lake Dunhuang Zhangye Shuiyacharhan seven-day loop: Day 1: Xining - Sun Moon Mountain - Qinghai Lake (Heima River) - Chaka Salt Lake (overnight) Day 2: Chaka------Qarhan Salt Lake------Golmud (overnight) Day 3: Golmud--U-shaped road--Dongtaijinaier Lake--Water Yadan--Dachaidan Emerald Lake (stay overnight) Day 4: Daxiadan - Heidu Mountain - Silk Road Heritage City - Dunhuang City (stay) Day 5: Dunhuang ------- Mogao Grottoes (tickets are recommended to be purchased around 9 am) ------ Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Moon Lake ------- Shazhou Night Market ------ Dunhuang City (overnight) Day 6: Dunhuang City - Passing Jiayuguan - Zhangye Colorful Danxia - Zhangye (stay overnight) Day 7: Zhangye---Biandukou---Qilian Mountains, Qilian Grasslands---Gangshika Snow Peak (viewed from a distance)---Xining City (end) - 🔆Highlights of the Northwest Tour: 🌈Popular attractions: Snow-capped mountains on grasslands, Danxia forests, desert lakes, rapeseed flowers 🌈Cultural heritage: Visit Mogao Grottoes and Mati Temple to experience the magnificent treasures of the Chinese nation 🌈Highland lakes: Check in at Qinghai Lake, Qarhan Salt Lake, Emerald Lake, and take blockbuster photos 🌈Rare landforms: Unique Yadan landforms, magnificent and spectacular 🌈Special experience: Horseback riding at Qinghai Lake, camping in Crescent Town, and movie watching - 🚗Transportation ✈Airplane: You can fly directly to Xining Caojiabao Airport, or fly to Lanzhou Zhongchuan Airport first, and then transfer to the high-speed rail (about 2 hours) to Xining 🚄High-speed rail/train: Xining’s railway station and train station are located in the eastern part of the city, with convenient transportation - ☀️Sincere reminder 💜 Sun protection three-piece set: 50+ sunscreen + sunglasses + ice sleeves (ultraviolet rays are super strong!) 💜Anti-altitude sickness: Drink Rhodiola rosea in advance and prepare oxygen cylinders (don’t buy them in the scenic area! The price in the scenic area is 60/can) 💜Clothing: A jacket is a must (Chaka Salt Lake is windy), and a bright-colored scarf (for sun protection and photography) 💜Moisturizing: 1 mask per day!
