Travel with kids during summer vacation The first stop of the Qinghai-Gansu Grand Loop is Qinghai Lake There are rape flowers on both sides of the road. After arriving at Qinghai Lake, we first went to the B&B Put down the luggage and take a rest We chose a place only a dozen minutes' drive from the B&B. Black Horse River Scenic Area of ​​Qinghai Lake Take a small train to the lake for 30 yuan per person at the entrance Qinghai Lake is the blue eye of the plateau and the largest inland lake in China. Herds of cattle and sheep graze leisurely on the lakeside meadow The end of the grassland is the lake, and the end of the lake is the clouds. It started raining just after visiting Qinghai Lake After returning to the B&B, beef hotpot was already prepared for us. Freshly cut lamb shanks, hand-made beef meatballs and yellow mushrooms The yak bone soup base that has been boiled for a day is very warm and delicious. After the rain stopped, I saw a rainbow at the B&B🌈 Complimentary evening refreshments, including snacks, fruits and specialty drinks Tibetan milk tea tastes very good too. The LOFT room is spacious enough for our family of four. The bedding is also soft and comfortable Outside the window of the room is a sea of ​​flowers and Qinghai Lake People can't help but linger by the window to enjoy the beautiful scenery The nights in Qinghai are very cold The room also has an electronic fireplace for heating, which is warm and has a sense of atmosphere.
