The day before departure, I was full of expectations.
In the morning 1 1, I was still at work, and in the afternoon 1, I took my little daughter on the high-speed train to Lanzhou. Along the way, the children chattered, played games and chatted. The three of us are also full of expectations, watching the clouds outside the high-speed rail window getting closer and closer, and gradually turning into a mass of cotton candy, as if the air began to be filled with the breath of freedom. I arrived in Lanzhou at six or seven and found the hotel we booked in advance. Here, I would like to pay special tribute to the current homestay, which is really convenient. The combination lock is directly checked in, and the two-bedroom and one-bedroom house is specially decorated. One of the rooms was bunk beds, and the children were so happy that they refused to come out as soon as they entered the room. After a little trimming, I went out to eat Lamian Noodles in Lanzhou, which was delicious. The three children even pursed their lips when sharing a big bowl. Later, they learned that this meal was the best meal in our whole trip.
On the first day, the trip to the Great Northwest Link officially set sail.
(Xining-Ta 'er Temple-Laji Mountain-Sun Moon Mountain-Daotang River-Qinghai Lake-Heima River-Bird Island)
At 7 o'clock in the morning, I took the bullet train from Lanzhou to Xining. At 8 o'clock, the chartered driver Master Ma met us at the station, and the tour around the city with drivers officially kicked off. The first stop is Ta 'er Temple, which is more than 20 kilometers southwest of Xining. It is one of the six monasteries of Gelug Sect of Tibetan Buddhism in China. The temple buildings that integrate the skills of Han and Tibetan are distributed in one ditch and two slopes of Lianhua Mountain, with high and low levels, which complement each other and are spectacular. Butter sculptures, multicolored murals and pile embroidery here are known as "the three wonders of Ta 'er Temple art". May be the reason for the peak season, tourists are woven, and the smell of commercialization is coming. I feel that the scenic spot of Ta 'er Temple includes the whole town. First, the commercial street outside needs to walk for 20 minutes, then the battery car needs to sit for more than ten minutes, and then walk for a few minutes to reach the official scenic spot. Unfortunately, we have no experience. We wasted all our time taking our children to the mall. When we walked to the gate of the real scenic spot, the children were exhausted. Coupled with the jostling pedestrians and a long queue of more than ten meters, we suddenly felt like a deflated ball, and we had no strength or courage to go in. We looked outside. The real tour begins with the first scenic spot. Before we arrived at Ta 'er Temple, the poem in my mind was: "That time, that day, I closed my eyes in the fragrant fog of the temple, and suddenly I heard the truth in your eulogy, and I felt that I had nowhere to put it." This is the ideal and reality. When we came out of Ta 'er Temple, Master Ma said, You have only been here for four hours, so we can't stay here at night. We are fearless and ignorant.
The car began to climb Laji Mountain, and the temperature plummeted. This is the first mountain we climbed. I remember the height was 3820 meters. When we arrived at the mountain pass, we obviously felt headache, and Miss Li (one of her peers) had symptoms of blue lips and poor breathing. The plateau climate is really unpredictable. In a short time, we experienced various climates such as rain, fog, cloudy and sunny, and soon people wanted to faint because of the sun. Green grasslands, yak herds, blue sky and white clouds, and colorful prayer flags can be seen everywhere. As soon as the wind blows, it begins to dance with it. It is said that the prayer flags dancing with the wind flutter once, that is, chanting once, constantly conveying people's wishes to God and praying for God's blessing. In this way, the prayer flags have become the link between God and man. Where the wind is, it means where the gods are and where people pray to them. The wind flag is entrusted with people's good wishes.
Because the journey was too fast, we looked at Sun Moon Mountain and Daotang River from a distance and ran along the road regretfully. Hurry up and chase slowly. Before the sun went down, we came to Qinghai Lake, which we missed. It has the reputation of the eye of heaven. If we had any idea about this trip before, it was Qinghai Lake. After all, it is the most famous for us who don't do raiders. Far away, I saw Qinghai Lake lying there quietly. The lake is blue, not as rough as the sea in Beidaihe, nor as playful and lovely as the sea in Sanya. She is like a bright pearl, inlaid between the white sky and the golden ocean of rape flowers. A large number of rape flowers continue on the roadside, and so does Qinghai Lake. Crossing the rape flower sea is the only way to reach Qinghai Lake. Every other piece will be circled by the locals. Master Ma took us in from one of them, and each ticket was 50 yuan. Personally, I feel that the price is a bit expensive. Who is the peak season? When we arrived near Qinghai Lake, it was not so far and so shocking. Many facilities have been built by the lake for tourists to take pictures. The business atmosphere is incompatible with the nobility of Qinghai Lake, but we are also interested in taking pictures.
After leaving Qinghai Lake, we walked all the way to the place where we lived. Due to the poor communication in the early stage, we booked the hotel for each day in advance, which made it impossible to change all the later trips and had to get to the place where we lived. The boss of the chartered master didn't want to. He complained that if you help us find a hotel, you can get some kickbacks in addition to your own free cab. But although reluctant, after all, there is an intermediary travel company, and he still wants to win the prize, so although he was a little unhappy along the way, he didn't embarrass us much. The Bird Island Resort we booked deviated from the route of Chaka Lake by 80 kilometers. Master Ma drove very steadily and walked 80 miles steadily. The sky turned from bright to dark, dark clouds began to appear, and it rained cats and dogs. It's already 1 1 at night, and we're still on our way. The children began to worry and asked, when will they arrive at the hotel? What time do we arrive at the hotel? After a day's journey, we are exhausted, but we feel a cold sweat in our hearts. We are strangers and there is not even a hair on the road. It would be terrible if the master were a bad guy! Fortunately, when the clock approached the early morning, we finally arrived at the hotel we booked. To be exact, we can't call it a hotel. It is a simple color steel room, and there is no other choice. We will check in soon. Because there is no cab, although we agreed not to provide accommodation for the driver in advance, we can think that it is hard for others to drive all day, and we really can't bear to let others sleep in the car, so we offered 50 yuan to arrange a bed for Master Ma. Even if the first day's journey was over, I fell asleep before I could sum up and savor it.
The next day, the "mirror of the sky" Chaka Salt Lake.
(Bird Island-Heima River-Chaka Salt Lake-Crossing Qaidam Basin-Dachaidan)
The word "country of the sky" first appeared in the Uyuni salt marsh in Bolivia, South America, where the strange scenery fascinated many people. China's "land of the sky" is the "Chaka Salt Lake" in Haixi Prefecture, Qinghai Province. "Chaka" is Tibetan, which means Yanchi. Chaka Salt Lake is 3 100 meters above sea level, generally oval, with a very large area, equivalent to 16 West Lakes in Hangzhou, but only a small part is open to tourists. In recent years, Chaka Salt Lake is very popular, and various photos and videos abound in Tik Tok, which is fascinating.
In the morning, we wait for the children to wake up and pack up. It's past eight. Because of the children, the trip is always one beat slower than others. Someone else went to the tea card early in the morning, and when we arrived, it was close to 1 1. Before we got to the scenic parking lot, the cars lined up and the turtles were moving at a constant speed. Master Ma asked us to park our car nearby and walk in by ourselves. I don't know if he wants to save parking fees or if he is really afraid that the car is too crowded to get in or out. In short, people have to bow their heads under the eaves. Short-distance travel may be nothing for young people, but it is also a test for us with children, because it is likely that we will have no strength when we arrive at the scenic spot. Sure enough, Yan Yan's children will be exhausted when they walk halfway. The children can't say clearly for a while, and they say that they have a stomachache and feel uncomfortable for a while. Miss Li can't give up going to Chaka Salt Lake. Miss May and I took our two children and moved on. Tickets for Henan tourists are discounted. Let's go to 54 yuan, a scenic spot. Internet celebrities have 50 single trains, but there are too many people waiting in line. We chose five cycling trips in sightseeing bus, and sightseeing bus pulled us to the lake and put us down. But the small train can go straight to the middle of the lake, so it seems that the price of 10 is different. As we walked, the first thing we saw were several huge salt sculptures. There is salt everywhere under our feet and on the road. Go ahead and you can see the beautiful scenery of the sky. The sunshine at noon is just right, and the blue sky and white clouds form a reflection on the lake. The sky and the lake are in harmony and beautiful. The beauty of tea card lies in that the surface of salt lake is like a mirror, reflecting the breathtaking sky scenery. Being in the world of salt, walking on the lake is like walking in a cloud wonderland and soaring in the dreamy sky. I feel like I'm traveling through a silver world. Clouds can reach, water can touch, as if the sun and the moon are shuttling, changing, waiting for the stars to move.
? The beauty of tea card also lies in the long salt mining culture. There are not only beautiful scenery along the lake, but also mechanized salt mining culture, winding telephone poles and railway tracks that seem to extend to the end of the sky. In the history of China for thousands of years, the salt industry has been in the hands of the ruling class as the lifeline of the country. Most people who smuggle salt are felonies. During this period, salt shortage and salt shortage events emerged one after another, running through the chronicle. And even in today's ample supply of salt, how many people know where salt comes from? Going back to our journey, I especially want to praise two children, chenchen and Xiaoyu, because the middle of the lake can tread on water and salt, and the children are full of expectations. They walked all the way forward without shouting bitterness and tiredness. Near the middle of the lake, we put on our prepared shoe covers and got into the water. This is the children's favorite part, and we can feel the creaking salt under our feet, which means nothing. Because there are too many tourists in the water to see the reflection, the photos taken are not very nice, but we are especially happy when the children are happy. If time permits, the children can play and stay longer if they are not busy on the road, but we have to move on, and we are reluctant to walk out of Chaka Salt Lake. The children can't walk any further, and they cry from time to time that their legs hurt. Teacher Mei and I encouraged them all the way and finally dragged them to the place where they went sightseeing. On the way, the children knew that Yan Yan's children didn't come because they were uncomfortable. They specially found a bag and put a handful of salt in it. I wonder if it is illegal?
At the gate of the scenic spot, we had a simple meal. The food in the scenic spot is really expensive. A poor man's bibimbap, 35 yuan, and a stuffed flower at the bottom of the bowl 15 yuan. We got lost on the way out. One parking lot after another in Nuoda, we just can't get out, and we can't find our way here. Mental anxiety, I have to hurry, but I can't find the way. Tension and impatience make people suffocate instantly. Coupled with two exhausted children, we miss the delicious food and warm bed at home. Turn around a few times, locate and ask for directions. It's past three o'clock when I got back to the bus, and I have to catch the night road again tonight. Sure enough, Master Ma complained that we were too slow and urged us to stay nearby and move on tomorrow. We are unmoved, for one thing, we are afraid of missing the beautiful scenery ahead, and for another, we are always on guard. Fortunately, the advantage of traveling in the northwest is that the beautiful scenery is not all in the scenic spot, but on the road, accompanied by blue sky and white clouds, cool breeze and stars, we rush to Dachaidan. With the experience of the night before, we don't have any expectations for the place to live, just want to have a quick rest. Arrived at the residence at night 10, and the boss was very enthusiastic. The room is much better than expected, and the busy day is over!
On the third day, I visited Emerald Lake and Ya Dan Gobi.
(Dachaidan-Emerald Lake-Ya Dan Ghost Town-Yangguan Scenic Area-Dunhuang)
When I got up in the morning, it was already past nine o'clock after breakfast. Master Ma reluctantly took us to Yuhu. This lake is not in the original itinerary, because it is a wild lake without admission and has not yet been developed. Miss mei found it in Tik Tok. It's not far, it's more than ten kilometers away from Dachaidan, and it's a bit bumpy. It soon arrived at that place. The lake here is green, green, beautiful and very quiet. This 6-square-kilometer "Emerald Lake" is the mining area of the former Salt Lake Mining Team of Dachaidan Chemical Plant. The lake is rich in boron, lithium, salt, potash fertilizer and mirabilite. The high-concentration brine in this salt pond of different sizes, shapes and shades, locally called "brine", is a pit formed after years of salt lake exploitation. Due to the different mineral concentrations, a colorful scene has been formed, especially.
Perhaps the meaning of traveling is to meet different friends, see different customs and enjoy different beautiful scenery. This time, Yuhu Lake is undoubtedly a bright spot, because the unexpected meeting made us feel particularly beautiful. The children fished for salt in the lake and had a good time. Out of the Emerald Lake, we have been on the road for the next seven or eight hours, on the road, on the road. Next, I call it Ya Dan Gobi Tour. By feeling, we have entered a no-man's land, and the road to Ya Dan is more like a heavenly road, endless, with fewer cars and fewer people. Occasionally, we will see a tourist bus like ours, where tourists get off or dance, or jump and run, leaving blue sky and white clouds and their own figures here on this day. This is a natural art place.
? The wind is strong in Ya Dan landform area. Whenever there is a strong wind, the soil and sand fly and the visibility is low. The airflow reflects and refracts on the surface of the mound, which produces a series of acoustic phenomena, giving people a strange whistling sound and a sense of terror. In the past, the local people thought that the buried ghost was howling. In Mongolian, it was called "Sulumuhak", which means devil, so Ya Dan landform was also called ghost town. It was already three o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived at the ghost town. Master Ma has been saying that ghost towns just look at the landforms. We have seen almost all the way, and there is nothing interesting to go to the scenic spot. We scoffed, but when we saw the bright sunshine outside and some dolls tired of traveling, we also backed out. After a fairly sumptuous lunch in Ya Dan, we glanced at the ghost town from a distance and walked all the way to Dunhuang, but we didn't go to Yangguan scenic spot. Let's talk about how important it is to find a suitable guide when traveling. Master Ma is worried about accommodation all the way and is on his way. Because he is a Hui nationality, we can't eat together, so we seldom go to the restaurant recommended by him, which may directly lead to his lack of accommodation rebate and spread a negative energy all the way, that is, it is not fun here, there or anywhere. What are we doing here? Of course, these are all episodes in the journey and do not affect the general direction of our appreciation of the beautiful scenery. At about 9 pm, we came to Dunhuang, experienced the small town customs for several days, and finally felt the breath of the big city. How nice!
On the fourth day, the fun of Mingsha Mountain and the unique experience of camping in the desert are endless.
? Finally, we came to the desert that children yearned for most. We live only 10 minutes away from Mingsha Mountain, and we still live in Dunhuang tonight, which means that we can finally avoid a crazy day today. Mingsha Mountain, Shashan Mountain and Spring Water are named after the sound of sand. Here you can climb Mingsha Mountain, overlook the crescent spring, enjoy the sunset at the top of the mountain and feel the desolation and vastness of the northwest desert. Crescent Spring is surrounded by Mingsha Mountain, named after the water surface resembles a crescent moon. It is the most famous place in Mingsha Mountain Scenic Area. We can't go to the Mogao Grottoes, because tickets need to be booked one month in advance, and we have to give up on a whim. Next appointment will be fine. At 9 o'clock in the morning, we called Master Ma to pick us up. Master Ma said that he slept very late last night and didn't get up yet. The front desk of the hotel said that your drivers there are really great. Other drivers are waiting for the guests early. How come... We are also speechless, and our dissatisfaction with the driver has reached its peak. At least we are also paying a high toll of 1000 per day. After the driver came, we ignored him and went directly to Mingsha Mountain. Arriving at the scenic spot, the sun is already very big, but it is bigger than our determination. The six of us, armed to the teeth, all dressed up as Arabs and started to go in. There was a man who was accidentally sunburned by ultraviolet rays in the tea card. He was burning with pain on the plateau. I dare not underestimate the sun here any more. One person in the scenic spot 120 yuan can brush his face several times in three days. You can ride a camel, take a helicopter and visit sightseeing bus. Finally, we were afraid of the heat and chose to take sightseeing bus, which became the biggest regret of our trip, that is, we didn't ride a camel.
? When we arrived at the desert, we arrived at the children's paradise. We laughed at the way they played in the desert or park, and they hung their heads and refused to move forward. The moment I saw the desert, I was in a trance. I don't think there is a gap between light and sand. Dense lights shine on the beach, sparkling, bright and golden, and the ridge is outlined by lights, which is particularly skinny. Pick up a handful of sand with your hand, fall down in dense, and recover in an instant. I can't help sighing about the power of nature. We can raise sand at will, even step on it, but who can shake this sand mountain? Even our footprints recovered the next day and disappeared without a trace.
Although tired and hot, I really want to climb here. It was hard to climb the ridge with one foot deep and one foot shallow, but the children were full of energy and left us far behind. In order to climb the mountain conveniently, an auxiliary ladder is put in the scenic spot to climb it. Step by step, we finally reached the top of the mountain. In my impression, this is not a mountain. The mountain is hard, but the desert mountain at the foot is really soft, with a soft feeling and sparkling. Sitting on the top of the mountain, looking at the crescent moon spring below, the camel team walks under the mountain and has a panoramic view. Blue sky, sunshine, warm desert, stacked humpback whales and dancing beaches make people feel like a lifetime ago. Suddenly, I felt those vague sand shadows, like wisps of ghosts, fluttering and trudging on the sand dunes. Before I saw the desert, I always thought it was related to despair. As far as the eye can see, there is no hope of being cooked by the vicious sun. Coming to Mingsha Mountain is not the same thing. Perhaps the crescent moon spring itself is a glimmer of life in the desert. Although there are many people and the sun is poisonous, I think it is quite beautiful.
Out of Mingsha Mountain, after lunch, it was already three or four o'clock in the afternoon. We circled around and found the hotel where we were going camping at night. Yes, we will camp in the desert at night. The children have been waiting for it for a long time. However, there is always a gap between ideal and reality. Because there are too many tourists, the bus to take us to the desert campsite hasn't arrived yet, so we take a nap in the hotel yard, and the children are running after us, and we are waiting bored. The small hotel is in the village at the foot of Mingsha Mountain, and the decoration is quite literary. Unfortunately, I didn't take care of it later. The old tires and worn-out wind chimes in the yard are not well decorated, but they feel a little messy. The car didn't pick us up until eight o'clock in the evening. In desperation, there are all kinds of traffic jams on the road. I walked for more than ten minutes and spent more than half an hour. It was past nine when we arrived at the camp, and those who arrived early had already started eating. The imaginary camping in the desert should be to get high on the snowmobile first, then slide the sand, then have a lively barbecue, karaoke, camping and watching the stars. Then the reality is that we came late, and the organizer arranged seats for seven or eight people for us to eat, a big table and a hot pot. People have already eaten half of it, and we can't even lift chopsticks, but the others who came from a group are relatively high, drinking and dancing with their hosts. Yan Yan and Xiao Yu are very interested. They are intoxicated by the applause and songs of the host. Children's attention is always short-lived, attracted by the sand next to them, and skipping around with tools. The sky is full of stars, the children are digging sand, and strangers are singing and dancing beside them, which is not bad. After ten o'clock, the bonfire party began, and we entered the atmosphere a little. People we know and don't know are dancing in a circle, dancing with rabbits, shining, singing and dancing. If the smooth party is over, we can find a tent to sleep in. However, it backfired. God may have dropped my mobile phone in the desert at the bonfire party, which added to our hardships on the road.
? The mobile phone is worthless, but the photos and memories along the way are in it. I'm really worried. What's even sadder is that the signal here is particularly poor, and I can get through for a while and I can't get through for a while. Another group of people lost their car keys in the desert. We searched and found someone else's car keys, but the mobile phone sank to the bottom of the sea without a trace. It's almost 1 1, and the organizer is already distributing tents. There were so many people waiting in line that we clamored to get the tent. We have no intention of queuing. While looking for mobile phones, we pay attention to getting tents when there are few people waiting in line. When we finally got the tent, it was past one o'clock in the morning, and the children had fallen asleep in their mother's arms before they started camping in the desert. I want to lie in the desert and watch the stars and sunrise in the desert, but when we get the tent ready, we are too tired to say a word. The children soon fell asleep, and people in twos and threes were still hanging around outside, so the night that belonged to us came.
On the fifth day, nature's uncanny workmanship
(Dunhuang-Jiayuguan-Zhangye Danxia National Geopark-Zhangye)
After staying up late and trekking, we three old girls were too tired to speak. It is amazing to find that children are particularly resilient. When they woke up, they were alive and kicking again. It's just dawn, and many people who get up early and hurry have already set off. Instead of being in a hurry, be late. Before Miss Mei and Miss Niang got up, Miss Li and Miss Li climbed the hillside next to them and began to slide the sand. Xiaoyu and I asked the people at the base to drive a sand motorcycle to send us to the mountain to meet them. Motorcycles are particularly exciting, and I am afraid that light rain will fall from them and protect them tightly. When I reached the top of the mountain, my eyes suddenly lit up. The sun just came out is not very dazzling. From a distance, it hangs like a big egg yolk on the other side of the mountain, giving the khaki desert a feeling of Phnom Penh. The sand slowly changed from khaki to golden yellow. It's really beautiful. Xiao Yuqing and Yan Yan sat on the sand table again and again, and then came over. They are very happy. Soon the clock pointed to nearly ten o'clock. We should get going. Zhang Ye is still waiting for us. The road back was smooth. Master Ma said that we are going to Jiayuguan and Zhangye Danxia Geopark today, because we can only choose one because of the distance. On second thought, we chose a national geological park with visual impact. After a long journey, we finally arrived in Danxia, Zhangye at five in the afternoon. Although it is close to dusk, the sun doesn't look like it is going to work at all, and it is still shining brightly. We have lost the excitement and dancing at the beginning of the journey and numbly bought tickets to enter the scenic spot.
However, if you want to enter the Geopark, you must buy tickets for the park and everyone will go to 20 yuan. The tourist bus will set up stations at four observation platforms in the scenic spot, and visitors can get on and off freely. Danxia Geopark is actually a desert, where nothing grows. The exposed rock mass on the ground is rich in color and colorful. Four viewing platforms, that is, relatively concentrated landscape colors can be seen from the heights. The landscape of Zhangye Danxia National Geopark is colorful, layered and magnificent. It is "Danxia is full of The Hill of Seven Colors, picturesque". In a word, God knocked over the palette, and we browsed it, but because of the tight time, we didn't experience this magical nature well.
On the sixth day, the last horse-running carnival.
(Zhangye-Qilian Mountain Prairie-Gangshika Xuefeng-Menyuan Rape Flower-Xining)
Starting from Zhangye, we entered the Qilian Mountain prairie in a daze and fast asleep.
"Qilian" is an ancient Xiongnu language, meaning "Tianshan Mountain". It is a natural barrier in northern Qinghai. In ancient times, it was the land of A Qiang and the main road leading to the western regions. It was called "the northern gate of Qinghai" in ancient times, and the southern line of the Silk Road passed through here. The car began to move forward on the Panshan Highway. On the first day, the rebels seemed to care for us again. Miss Li feels uncomfortable again, but with her experience, she can handle it easily. The car drove to oberlin Pass, and we got off and stopped for a while. There is a sign on the pass, indicating that the pass seawall is 3685 meters. Climbed to the top of the mountain at the right end of the pass. The top of the mountain is made of stones and colorful prayer flags. Standing on the top of the mountain, you can see the top of the mountain that is not high opposite. There are no trees on the mountain, but all green grass. At first glance, it looks like a green carpet. White clouds are floating in the blue sky in the distance, and the mountains are particularly fresh against it.
After a short stay, we moved on, and there were horse farms along the way. Visitors can choose to stop at the racecourse to play. Master Ma took us to choose a horse farm. The herdsmen in the racecourse enthusiastically asked if they wanted to ride the big circle of 120 and the small circle of 90. When I said it was cheap, the herdsmen immediately pulled their faces down. How can it be cheap? At this price, I'm too scared to speak. The three children chattered on about riding horses. Miss Li and I rode one with our children, and the bold Miss Mei and her son rode one. It used to be easy to watch others ride horses. When I was sitting on the horse, I was inexplicably nervous. Every step of the horse tugged at my heart for fear that I would fall. The uncle who leads the horse is kind. He always said it was okay, don't be afraid, and he went to the middle of the grassland to take pictures of us. Miss Mei is amazing. She likes excitement. She always dislikes that her horse doesn't run fast enough. After riding a lap, she has to ride a lap by herself. I also encouraged the two children to follow the herdsman's uncle for another lap. It's rare for everyone to be so interested, so let you run on the grassland.
There are two swings in the middle of the racecourse. After riding the horse, the children went to play on the swing, and we sat by and watched. I have been on the road for several days, sitting here and looking at the blue sky and white clouds, watching the hamster running out from time to time, I suddenly feel more relaxed than ever. Take a closer look at this vast land in northwest China. If you can, you should spare half a month or even a month for a deep tour. It's a pity to browse like us. Maybe it was almost the key point of the journey, and Master Ma wanted to leave a good impression on us, and he didn't rush us. We sat on the grassland and chatted. The mountains in the distance are mountainous, and the horses on the grassland nearby are in twos and threes. The fatigue along the way seems to have gradually eased. Back to Xining around 9: 00 pm, the six-day tour of the Northwest Great Ring Road ended perfectly. Although I am very tired, I am more shocked by the beautiful scenery and my understanding of the journey.
? Let's summarize some feelings. First of all, six days on the Great Northwest Link is far from enough. A cursory tour also makes us want more. Maybe because of our children, many scenic spots in the middle have been missed. If you have time, you'd better drive by yourself, so that you don't have to rush for time or scenic spots, you can enjoy yourself and slowly experience the vast territory and infinite beauty of the northwest. Secondly, it is the first choice for self-driving in the northwest. If you want to charter a car, you must communicate with the chartered master in advance about the accommodation of the drivers along the way. If you ask the master to help you book accommodation and arrange your itinerary, you can find preferential accommodation. At the same time, the master will definitely provide more dedicated services and kickbacks. Some awkward people like us are unhappy, which greatly affects the mood of travel.
Speaking of food, as a foodie, I feel deeply ashamed. During the whole trip, I didn't know what I was eating, but I thought I could take a few bites. After eating instant noodles several times, I still don't want to smell the taste of instant noodles. I almost swallowed when I saw the mutton skewers and vermicelli soup sent by others in the northwest. Next time, I believe I will make full preparations, take another in-depth trip and catch all the delicious food here.
Finally, ending with Li Bai's poem, I look forward to my next trip with Mei, Li and another Li.
"The bright moon rises from the mountains in the sky, in the infinite haze of the sea of clouds. ? The mighty wind blew Wan Li and crossed Yumen Pass. At that time, Han soldiers pointed at the mountain road, and Tubo coveted the vast territory of Qinghai. ? This is a land of wars in past dynasties, and few soldiers can survive. The soldiers turned and looked at the border, thinking of home with longing eyes. ? And those rooms above tonight, tossing and turning, sighing, can't rest. "
