青海旅遊：青海湖+茶卡鹽湖+卓爾山4天3晚旅遊

早上參觀【茶卡鹽湖】（參觀3小時，含景區門票；電瓶車及小火車請自理）
「茶卡」是藏語，意即鹽池，被《國家旅遊地理》雜誌評為「人一生必去的55個地方」之一。茶卡的天空異常乾淨，懸浮在純白之上。

與其說是天空之鏡，不如說是一場幻境——天地一線，在現實世界中早已很難找到如此純淨的地方，白得如此徹底。抬起頭，頭頂是一片藍天；低下頭，腳下仍是一片藍天，已分不清是天空倒影在湖水中，還是湖水融化在藍天裡。鹽湖的景象是「天上無飛鳥，地下無綠草，湖中無遊魚」。

離開茶卡鹽湖，向著環湖西路前行。沿途，青海湖的壯美景色如畫卷般徐徐展開。湛藍的湖水無邊無際，與遠處的山巒相接，水天相連。湖畔的草原雖在季節更迭中變換色彩，卻始終散發著獨特的魅力。成群的牛羊悠然自得地吃草，偶爾有飛鳥掠過湖面，清脆的鳴叫劃破長空，為這片寧靜的天地增添了幾分靈動。

當踏上前往【大冬樹山啞口】的路途，便是一場與大自然的深度對話。蜿蜒的山路在山間盤旋，每一次轉彎都帶來不同的風景。隨著海拔逐漸升高，空氣愈發清冷，眼前的景色也從草原過渡到高山草甸，再到裸露的岩石和皚皚白雪。站在海拔4120公尺的大冬樹山啞口，山風呼嘯，俯瞰四周，連綿的山脈、潔白的雪山盡收眼底，心中湧起的是對大自然的敬畏與征服高山的豪情。

【特別提示】

1. 攜帶濕紙巾進入，下湖後會有鹽晶黏腳，方便擦拭。

2. 塗抹好防曬並做好防曬措施，鹽湖紫外線較強。

3. 墨鏡、遮陽帽也一併帶入，由於鹽湖鹽晶為白色，反光作用強，會對眼睛造成強光刺激。

4. 景區內可租鞋套，下湖時避開湖裡的黑色溶洞，以免落入刮傷腿。

【祁連餐廳推薦】

1. 當地美食：羊腸麵、酥油茶、炒黃蘑菇、炕鍋羊肉等。

2. 網紅餐廳：祁連小王烤肉城、金悅肥牛火鍋、冶氏烤肉王等。

Morning visit to Chaka Salt Lake (visit for 3 hours, including entrance ticket; electric car and small train rides are at your own expense).
"Chaka" is a Tibetan word meaning "salt pond," and it has been named one of the "55 Places You Must Visit in Your Lifetime" by National Geographic Traveler. The sky over Chaka is exceptionally clear, resting above the vast expanse of white.

Rather than calling it the "Mirror of the Sky," it is more like an illusion—a seamless blend of heaven and earth. It is hard to find such purity in the real world, a whiteness so absolute. When you look up, the sky is a deep blue above you; when you look down, the same blue stretches beneath your feet. It becomes impossible to tell whether the sky is reflecting in the lake or the lake is melting into the sky. The scene at the salt lake is one where there are no birds in the sky, no grass on the ground, and no fish in the water.

Leaving Chaka Salt Lake, we head west along the lake’s circular road. Along the way, the magnificent scenery of Qinghai Lake unfolds like a scroll painting. The deep blue waters stretch endlessly, meeting the distant mountains where the water and sky blend into one. The grasslands along the lakeshore change colors with the seasons, yet they always exude a unique charm. Herds of cattle and sheep graze leisurely, and occasionally, birds skim across the lake’s surface, their clear calls piercing the sky, adding a touch of liveliness to this tranquil world.

Heading to Dadongshu Mountain Pass is like engaging in a profound conversation with nature. The winding mountain road snakes through the hills, revealing different vistas at every turn. As the altitude gradually rises, the air grows cooler, and the landscape transitions from grasslands to alpine meadows, and further to bare rocks and snow-capped peaks. Standing at the Dadongshu Mountain Pass, 4,120 meters above sea level, the mountain wind howls. Looking down, the endless mountain ranges and pristine snowy peaks unfold before your eyes, filling your heart with awe for nature and a sense of triumph over the towering heights.

Special Notes:

1.Bring wet wipes with you—salt crystals will stick to your feet after walking in the lake, and the wipes will help clean them off.

2.Apply sunscreen and take other protective measures before entering, as the UV radiation is strong at the salt lake.

3.Bring sunglasses and a sun hat. The white salt crystals reflect light intensely, which can be harsh on the eyes.

4.Shoe covers are available for rent inside the scenic area. When walking in the lake, avoid the black sinkholes to prevent falling and injuring your legs.

Restaurant Recommendations in Qilian:

1.Local delicacies: sheep intestine noodles, butter tea, fried yellow mushrooms, grilled lamb hot pot, etc.

2.Popular restaurants: Qilian Xiaowang BBQ City, Jinyue Fat Beef Hotpot, Yeshi BBQ King, etc.

(Tour duration: 2.5 hours, includes entrance ticket; electric car fee of 20 RMB per person is not included and must be paid separately.)
Zhuole Mountain is renowned as the "Little Switzerland of the East." Upon reaching the summit, a breathtaking panorama unfolds before your eyes: golden rapeseed fields, lush green barley, expansive meadows, and hills formed by reddish-brown rocks and sand, all blending into a vibrant and picturesque oil-painting-like scene.

In Tibetan, Zhuole Mountain is called "Zongmumayouma," meaning "the beautiful rosy queen." The scenic area is located in Babao Town, Qilian County, nestled along the Babao River and facing the sacred Tibetan mountain, Ami Dongsuo (Niuxin Mountain), across the river. Standing atop Zhuole Mountain, the view is incredibly expansive, unobstructed on all sides. Opposite the mountain is Niuxin Mountain, where all four seasons can be admired from a single vantage point. To the left and right are the Ladong Gorge and Baiyang Valley scenic areas, while the rolling Qilian Mountains stretch out behind. At the foot of the mountain, the roaring Babao River winds like a white ceremonial scarf around the town, creating a fairy-tale-like landscape. Following the Babao River, you can reach Ebo, an important relay station along the ancient Silk Road.

Afterward: Journey through one of China's six most beautiful grasslands—Qilian Grassland
Along the way, you will pass through scenic spots: cross Biandukou Pass by vehicle to admire the beauty of the Qilian Grassland, traverse the Qilian Mountain range, and enjoy a distant view of the Gangshika Snow Peak. Later, as you drive through, you will witness a plateau-style pastoral landscape—Qinghai’s rapeseed base, where brilliant golden rapeseed flowers have earned the region the reputation of "Menyuan oil flows through every street." Along the route, you can also enjoy the scenic beauty of Heiquan Reservoir before returning to Xining to conclude the pleasant journey.

​

Special Note
Due to the blooming period of the Menyuan rapeseed fields, which typically occurs from mid-July to early August, visits to the rapeseed sea cannot be arranged at other times.
