This film area is a bit special. The white salt field looks like snow shadows, which is very beautiful. However, once you get to the film area, you have to pay extra for almost every attraction. You can't move an inch without paying.

The Tibetan Culture Museum offers a truly impressive experience, providing a more systematic and comprehensive understanding of Tibetan history and culture. The exhibition layout is clear, presenting a complete range of topics from prehistoric civilization and religious art to folk customs and architectural styles. In particular, the displays of Thangka paintings, Buddha statues, and ritual implements are numerous, of high quality, and exquisitely detailed, allowing visitors to directly appreciate the solemnity and delicacy of Tibetan Buddhist art.

Kumbum Monastery is famous for two main reasons. First, its location is close to Xining, the capital of Qinghai Province, only 28 kilometers away, making it easily accessible to travelers with excellent service. Second, it is the birthplace of Tsongkhapa, the founder of the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism, for whom a large silver stupa was built. Later, a monastery was built around the stupa, which was then directly named Kumbum Monastery. It's a vast complex, built against the mountainside, very majestic. Walking among it, experiencing Tibetan Buddhism, and watching the Tibetan people prostrating themselves in devout worship, you'll feel somewhat mesmerized. 😂

The bus costs 60 yuan per person, and the ride is really long, haha. The colors of the scenic area are beautiful, very beautiful. You must go when the weather is good, otherwise it's not really green or emerald green.

- Unique and spectacular landforms: The Water Yadan Scenic Area is the only water-based Yadan landform group in the world, known as the "Water Devil City". The Yadan mounds are of various shapes and sizes, scattered in the blue Duck Lake, forming a beautiful picture of "red cliffs reflected in water", making visitors feel as if they have entered a magical otherworld.

Emerald Lake is still beautiful in winter. There are fewer people, and the ticket price is half price. You can go to the viewing platform to see the whole lake. You can go up if you want. Because it is a bit cold in winter, the staff also let me go inside to wait for the mini train, which was very kind. I walked around and took pictures for three hours.

On December 19th, Qinghai Lake was cloudy. A fridge magnet was included with the ticket purchase. The free shuttle bus ride was about 10 minutes. The weather wasn't great for taking photos at the scenic spot; the scenery would have been much more beautiful on a sunny day.

It's a small zoo. If you're not interested in seeing the pandas, just buy a regular ticket. Seeing the Pallas's cat and lynx is largely a matter of luck; we only saw a Pallas's cat on our second visit, and we didn't see a lynx at all.

The Qinghai-Tibet border landscape is breathtaking, the fluttering prayer flags create a wonderful atmosphere, and the legend of Princess Wencheng adds to the charm! A must-see for anyone passing through, the scenery is magnificent, the Tibetan culture is rich, and the price is great!

The hotel does not have a navigation system, so it is best to ask the hotel staff before going. The staff was very attentive and even upgraded us to a larger RV for free, which was very nice (｡•̀ᴗ-)
