Who says traveling with kids only means visiting scenic spots? The scenery along Qinghai Lake is the real treasure! Drive with your kids, feel the breeze, enjoy the views, and take photos. After a day, the kids are happy and the adults are relaxed. Save this family travel guide now! 📍Kid-friendly route & photo spots: Start your journey from Sun and Moon Mountain ⛰️. First, navigate to "Qinghai Lake Erlangjian Scenic Area" (remember! Use it only for navigation, don’t enter the scenic area) — then navigate to "Gonghe County Government" (❗❗Important reminder: you don’t need to drive all the way to Gonghe County Government, just about 5 km until you see the road near [Cappuccino Homestay]). This whole route is full of surprises. Kids will excitedly point at the cows, sheep, and lake outside the window. Whenever you see a beautiful view, stop anytime and enjoy nature with your kids~ The road near Cappuccino Homestay (the beautiful scenery in p2 is here) is perfect for playing with kids! The lake, grassland, and blue sky look like a painting. Sit on the grass with your kids for a family photo, or let your kids pose with their toys by the lake. Every photo is a warm family memory~ If you have a drone, the shots will be even more stunning, capturing both family interaction and breathtaking scenery! After taking photos, continue navigating to 📍Donggeer Viewing Platform. On the way, you’ll pass Huanhu West Road, which is known as a "healing scenic road"! On the left is vast grassland, on the right is the deep blue Qinghai Lake. Driving while listening to your kids’ laughter and watching the beautiful views outside the window makes all fatigue disappear~ Occasionally stop to run with your kids by the grassland or observe wildflowers by the roadside. The parent-child interaction is full of love~ Keep driving until you reach Donggeer Viewing Platform (the beautiful scenery in p1 is from here!). Here you can get close to Qinghai Lake, squat by the lake with your kids to watch little fish, or build a small sandcastle together (there are small stones and fine sand by the lake). Kids can play for a long time~ Hold your kids’ hands walking by the lake, feel the breeze and the lake’s breath, it’s truly happiness~ 💡Tips for traveling with kids: Along Qinghai Lake, there are two scenic areas: Erlangjian and Heimahe. Erlangjian has a small train that kids might be interested in; Heimahe allows direct access to the lake, making playtime more free~ But we think the scenery along the way is exciting enough, and you can flexibly adjust your itinerary to avoid tiring the kids. Choose according to your needs~ 🚗Transportation advice for traveling with kids: Highly recommend self-driving! Traveling with kids means bringing lots of stuff. Self-driving can hold strollers, snacks, and change of clothes. You can stop whenever you want, and if the kids get sleepy, they can nap in the car. Super convenient, making the family travel experience perfect!
