The wind of midsummer ~ (walking around Qinghai Lake)

The first thing I saw in my life was the blue sky, and the last thing I saw was Qinghai Lake.

If you ask me what is bluer than the sky?

It can only be you, my doomsday glory.

The first love song of my life was sung to Maggie Ami, and the last love song was sung to Qinghai Lake.

If you ask me what is brighter than Maggie Ami’s eyes?

It can only be you, my lover in the afterlife.

The first sorrow in my life was because of broken love, and the last sorrow was because of Qinghai Lake.

If you ask me what is more lost than broken love?

It can only be you, my late scenery.

The long way around is just to meet you, and how far will be around before we can meet again.

I am about to disappear, but I can't forget your existence. I can reincarnate, but I can't turn around in front of you.

The place where Cangyang Gyatso escaped made me obsessed with Qinghai Lake for the first time.

I finally saw the last station of the Northwest Loop in October last year.

It was in the afternoon when it arrived, which was far from what I imagined.

The wind is blowing, I can't tell if it's the sea or the lake.

I thought I would be very excited, but it was flat and quiet.

That was our first meeting with Qinghai Lake.

Chengdu was extremely hot in the summer of 2017, and it was time to go out and blow the air.

Qinghai Lake should be met in the most beautiful season.

Three friends boarded the train to Xining, checked items: a bunch of snacks🍭🍪🍩🍿 and three moms👩👩👩

The time in the car is not short, they are good for a while 😄, arguing for a while 😤, crying for a while 😭, making a fuss for a while 😫, eating for a while 😋, sleeping for a while 😴♻️ soon passed.

The little actors have a lot of scenes, and the passengers nearby all come to watch their performances to pass the time😄

Arrived in Xining at noon the next day.
🌞Go out for food in full gear

The noodles in the northwest are big chunks, added with potatoes, corn, highland barley and other grains, which are rich in nutrients.

Cut a melon at the corner, juicy and sweet. Looking up, this is Mojia Street, which is equivalent to Chunxi Road in Chengdu.

The streets full of tourists and specialty snacks are just passing by.

Going deep into the streets of the locals is what we want.

Do you know what this is? I bought it in a fruit shop. The owner said it was called "Mushroom Cool" and it tasted really good. It was a bit like cherry tomatoes. Girls love it.

Walk into a restaurant with more local diners. The proprietress recommended a few dishes with confidence.

Fried noodles

Baked bun

Lamb skewers are tender on the outside and tender on the inside

The kids love to eat, and quickly add 10 skewers.

The kang pot is similar to the dry pot in Chengdu, but it is much more than the dry pot. The bottom is all large pieces of mutton. We ate fiercely, and there was a lot left. The point is that we ordered small portions, and the northern dishes were really hard!

We were fully prepared to return to the hotel, not far from the Islamic-style architecture attracted our footsteps.

The national flag in front of the white building is waving in the wind🇨🇳

You chase me in the square, the children are physically strong.

Nanguan Mosque🕌️

Sky gradient

The more beautiful the night

For the first time, they don’t need to be separated at night, they can sleep together, which really makes them excited👏

On the second day, Master Ma carried a group of us around the lake as promised 🚗

Mi'er's mother carried the DSLR and followed the whole process. Who knows what the poison was, he became Popeye after he became a mother.

From Xining to the Heima River, it must pass through Laji Mountain, which rises directly to 4188M above sea level.

The state is very good 👍

Temple on the top of the mountain

The prayer wheels are all winded

Near Erlangjian, rape blossoms are brilliant by the lake

Sudden temperature drop

In this aura, I can't hold it anymore.

Feel like turning

Three little girls, I hope you have a broad vision and a broad mind!

You ask me where I am going, I point to the direction of the sea👉🌊

Draw some horses

So cute lamb

together forever

Become a baby in my mother's arms

Hello, Qinghai Lake!

Who brought me to you 👣

He was stationed in Heimahe Township on the first day around the lake.

Experience the characteristic yurt, the children can't sleep for a long time like a chicken blood.

We got up at 5:30 because we had to watch the sunrise.

The girls were struggling to go out to wash, and heard them shouting in unison outside 😲 "Wow! Stars! ✨, the sky full of stars! ✨", haha, and it's a morning call for other tourists in Pengli⏰

Heimahe is crowded with traffic, so we decided not to see the crowds anymore. Master Ma chose an empty pasture for us to enjoy the sunrise in the east.

🌞 Father Sun seems to be shy, and hides in the clouds as soon as he rises from the sea level ☁️.

When watching the sunrise, the children said that their stomach hurts. The stone mother who has high anti-reverse experience immediately judged that the children are high-reverse. She quickly gave two sips of oxygen, drank a stick of glucose, and then had breakfast to resurrect with blood. 💪.

Especially this female man

From Heima River to Chaka Salt Lake, climb over Rubber Mountain.

When I came to the salt field, the air seemed to be salty.

Salt Carving-Salt Emperor

Classic train

The wind is so strong that it is difficult to take a reflection.

The mirror of the sky can only make up for the brain

The sun on the top, the feet are stained by the salt water below, and I finally get tired

Mother comforts

Heal immediately

Get up again

The little stone has not been in the water, and it is beautiful on the shore.

Mom will always be the one behind

Friends are always around you

Back from Chaka, we looked out the window.

The scenery was good, and it was still early, so I stopped immediately. This world belongs to us at this moment.

Pick some wild flowers

Insert a cow dung😂

Make a game

I really want time to be like this ⏸️

The northwestern land is vast and sparsely populated with high visibility. Haixi turned to Haibei. It looked close but it hadn't arrived for a few hours.

Looking back at the sunset during the journey 🌄

Today we are staying at Atomic City in Xihai Town. That's right, it was the place where the atomic bomb was manufactured before. Now it is the seat of the Haibeizhou State Government. It is visually the most prosperous place except Xining.

There are many places to rent bicycles in the town. The starting point of the annual Tour of Qinghai Lake International Road Cycling Race is also in Xihai Town.

Cycling map

I heard from the master horse that the fans only took 4 days to ride around the lake.

I didn't know that the sky was high and the earth was thick, I actually wanted to ride around the lake😱.

High-altitude areas, high-oxygen exercises, and self-confidence that I don’t know where came from, should be young at that time 👱‍♀️.

Now I can only look at it and recognize it.

On the third day around the lake, I passed by Jinyintan and went straight to Jinsha Bay without any feeling. Children have a natural attraction to the substance of sand.

Under the scorching sun, each quietly play in the sand

At this time, the concentration is extremely high.

Damei Qinghai

In the past, there were camels and horses for tourists to ride. Recently, in response to Xi Da's call to protect the source of the Three Rivers, everyone was demolished for the project, and the horses and camels were unemployed. Even the cars along the way 🚗 stop for a while, there will be police cars 🚓 to drive away.

Climbing up to Shapotou barefoot, feeling that my feet are almost hot.

Qinghai on one side, the desert on the other.
The wave marks on the sand ridges leave traces of the wind.

Big hands holding small hands

Qinghai is an area inhabited by many ethnic groups. Hainan and Haibei are both Tibetan autonomous prefectures. Choosing Tibetan clothes for the little girls has also become an interesting event of our trip.

Buying, buying, buying is really a girl’s nature, she can’t be narcissistic 😏

Tashi Delek, the end of the lake 🔚

Back to Xining, I had a good night's sleep.

Wake up in the morning, go to the Plateau Wildlife Park.

I just went in and saw a few kangaroos lying listlessly on the ground. The children wittyly said, "They must be high-reverse". This way they have a deep understanding of "high-reverse" 😄.

Long time no see, sika deer.

The zoo is very large and built on the hillside. It was very difficult to climb the hill, and the children were upset and refused to leave.

There is nothing to eat in the garden, so let's coax it with the blowing candy.

Stone girl is so loving

Rock sheep

Alpacas are still beautiful in white.

White-lipped deer, so docile.

Tibetan wild donkey

Arriving in the beast area, the passion is ignited again 🔥

Pretend to be wild

When entering the kindergarten, the children learned that the highland elf "Przewalski's gazelle" was going to be extinct like a dinosaur. They were worried, and Sister Stone was crying even more 😭.

So we were looking for the pen house of Przewalski's gazelle all the way, so that the children could see it with their own eyes.

But after turning around, they couldn't find it, and explained to them that the Przewalski's gazelle may have been protected by the breeder, and the soft girls gave up and left.

On the last day in Xining, there was a little bit of parting.

Every morning on the plateau starts with a cup of yogurt.

🕌️Dongguan Great Mosque is located in the Dongguan area of ​​Xining City. It has been an area inhabited by the Hui people since ancient times, and there are many Muslims who believe in Islam. The Great Mosque of Dongguan is the largest mosque in Qinghai Province. It is also known as the four major mosques in the northwest with the famous Xi'an Huajue Temple, Lanzhou Qiaomen Temple, and the Etikar Mosque in Kashgar, Xinjiang. The building can hold 10,000 people to worship at the same time. The Tibetan-style gilded treasure bottle on the top of the temple was presented by the lama of Labrang Monastery in Gansu and is only seen in domestic mosques.

It was Friday and Sunday, and it was open to the public.

The red carpet has been laid, ready to welcome the Muslims who come to worship from 14:00-20:00.

The Qinghai Aheng Islamic School of Islamic Scripture is set up in the mosque.

Sit on the steps and listen to the imam's "filial piety"

After visiting the mosque, go to Xia Nanguan Muslim Street. Let the northwest wind blow on the tip of the tongue for a while 👅

Stuffed skin, most in line with the taste of Sichuan people.

Sweet glutinous rice, made with oats or highland barley, tastes like glutinous rice.

The little girl only drank the water in it and drank two bowls. Before stepping out, she collapsed on my lap and said "Mom, I'm going to sleep", and then she realized that she was drunk🤤

Bazhen crispy chicken, a typical halal food. Tear it with your hands, it's a bit like a chicken, and the meat is soft, so children will not lose to adults.

Roasted naan. The people in the Northwest basically rely on noodles as their staple food, all kinds of cakes and buns. It's just a little bit dry and hard to swallow.

Brewed old yogurt is more sour than supermarket yogurt, but the milk has a mellow flavor and is fresh and delicious.

Eat and drink, pack and go on the road.

Instead of taking the elevator with the big yellow duck on his back, the little man climbed up in a hurry.

Looking at her back, she suddenly felt that she had grown up a lot.

Maybe this is the meaning of travel, and it will be stronger when you walk!

Goodbye, Qinghai😘
Looking forward to the next long trip with my friends
