The Blue Hole overturned my impression of the desolate Northwest

#Mainland Travel 🔮The Emerald Lake is different from other famous lakes. It is quietly hidden deep in the desert Gobi, with lenses with various filters embedded at the foot of the Qimantag Mountain under the bright sun. 🌈The Emerald Lake in Da Qaidam is composed of many colorful salt lakes. The Emerald Lake is clear and transparent, with a turquoise inner layer, a milky blue outer layer, and olive green on the right. It is colorful, and you can clearly see the salt layer at the bottom of the lake through the water surface. The color of the water in each salt pond varies depending on the content of mineral elements, such as green, blue, yellow, and brown. 💎Against the backdrop of the blue sky and white clouds by the lake, these colorful salt ponds are like pieces of beautiful jade scattered on the earth, which is beautiful beyond words. When the wind is calm, the lake water spreads out like a mirror, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds and the snow-capped peaks of the Qaidam Mountains. The scenery is even more beautiful than the Chaka Salt Lake and is breathtaking. Only when you are there can you feel it deeply. 📸Recommended photo spots: Salt Lake No. 3 (Emerald Green) Salt Lake No. 4 (Same Tiffany Blue as Maldives) Salt Lake No. 5 (filming location of "Send You a Little Red Flower", The Piano on the Sea) X Avoid Salt Lake No. 6 (too crowded, difficult to film) 📸Photography tips: 1. It is recommended to wear brightly colored clothes to make the photos more attractive. 2. Choose a sunny day to see the truly colorful lakes. Remember to wear sunscreen. 🚂Tips for playing: 1. You can only take the train to the terminal station. When you arrive at the station, you can go back and get off at every station to take photos. 2. Many people gather at the lake at the terminal to take pictures. If you walk to the left at this time, not only will there be no one, but the lake will become more beautiful as you go further in, with more shapes and more brilliant colors. The heart-shaped lake and the blue hole are all over there. 🎫Ticket + train: 110/person 📍Location: Emerald Lake, Dachaidan 🗾Address: Dachaidan District, Haixi, Qinghai Province ⏰Opening hours: Monday to Sunday 8:00~20:00 🆓Free people: Elderly people over 60 years old, children under 6 years old 🚙Transportation: It is more convenient to drive by yourself, parking is 10 yuan/time Travel nearby by high-speed rail or plane High-speed rail: Take it to Golmud Station/Delingha Station Airplane: Take to Golmud Airport/Haixi Deling Airport
