What you can expect

Option 1 Qinghai Lake only:
Begin your day with a convenient pickup from your hotel in Xining. Travel in comfort to Qinghai Lake, the largest saltwater lake in China, located in the Hainan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture.

Upon arrival, take in the breathtaking views of the Qinghai lake, which resembles a dreamy silk ribbon weaving together with the sapphire sky and golden rape flowers. Stroll along the lakeside, with a gentle breeze brushing by, and let your soul be healed by the serene beauty of the surroundings.

Enjoy a leisurely lunch near Qinghai Lake (at your own expense) before exploring the Qinghai Lake Scenic Area. Spend approximately 2.5-3 hours discovering the unique folk customs and natural beauty of the area.

Please note that the scenic area is situated at an altitude of 3,190 metres, so it's recommended not to engage in strenuous activities like running or jumping. The ultraviolet rays are strong, so please take proper sun protection measures. Respect local customs and ensure personal safety by not swimming in the lake.
