From 9: 00 to 6: 00, Simmons, spring bed, starry sky covered by automobile exhaust, if you are tired, you should set off for Qinghai.
Some people say that Qinghai is full of magic. Indeed, this place in Qinghai can make people lose their grandiosity, purify their hearts and become pious and clear.
When I travel to Qinghai for the first time, I often feel helpless in the face of this paradise-like world. How to have fun in this magical Qinghai, let's take a look at this strategy first! !
Guan Yu Qing hai
I didn't know what heaven was until I got to Qinghai. It combines the beauty of Xinjiang and Tibet. When you go to Qinghai, you will find that the four seasons are constantly staged in this mysterious land, and every frame makes you ecstatic!
More often, we will regard Qinghai as a part of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, as if it is always so distant and mysterious.
At present, the image of Qinghai is blurred. However, this ambiguity is not because of monotony, but because of richness.
Release and preparation
Qinghai has a large temperature difference in the morning and evening, so pay attention to cold protection. You need to take a thick coat or two.
Do a good job of hydrating and moisturizing. Qinghai belongs to the plateau area, with strong ultraviolet rays, especially in desert areas, so you must bring sunscreen, lip balm ... and moisturizing products.
Girls prepare colorful skirts and clothes. If you want to shoot a big movie in a scenic spot, a bright and fresh skirt is essential.
There are many places in Qinghai where you can take photos and punch cards, such as rape blossoms in Qinghai Lake, Chaka Salt Lake and Menyuan. ......
In these places, it is a large-scale shooting, and the skirt is preferably white and red.
Ps: You can properly prepare sunglasses, straw hats, umbrellas and other photo props.
