the beauty of Qinghai

this summer vacation, I came to Xining, Qinghai, a city known as the summer capital of China. The perennial plateau and mountain climate makes it very cold even in the hottest summer of the year. The totally different beautiful scenery has given me a spiritual baptism as a person who is used to living in a big city.

In Qinghai, you rarely see rows of tall buildings and people. It is common to see flocks of sheep, like white cocoons scattered in the distant mountains. Sometimes you will see them on the highway, and they are all driven by shepherds to cross the road. Cars often stop because of this. But we didn't feel upset at all, instead, we scrambled to pick up the camera and took pictures with great interest. These pure lives are loved by all.

besides sheep, the mountains are the most abundant in Qinghai. The green hills are one after another, and the thick white clouds cover the top of the mountain lightly, like a naughty child's mischief covering grandpa's eyes. The white cloud looks very close to the ground, and it seems that you can catch the next one by jumping up. The mountains and clouds look more beautiful against the pure blue sky and the light golden sunshine. On the mountain, rape fields and highland barley fields are like a pair of yellow-green puzzles, which make up a beautiful landscape. All this seems to show people the immortality and magic of nature.

it is beautiful to see mountains and clouds on the expressway; It is another kind of beauty to come to Qinghai Lake to see the mountains and clouds by boat. Riding in a speedboat, facing the cool breeze blowing from the lake, overlooking the natural landscape painting in the distance, the artistic conception of "with a blue line of mountains north of the wall, and east of the city a white curve of water" is perfectly reflected against the faint mist, but there is no melancholy. In the light rain, a few birds fluttered on the lake. The heart is completely integrated with nature, and all other thoughts have vanished here.

The scenery in Qinghai is beautiful, and the food in Qinghai is even more delicious. The animals here are all grown up in the natural environment, so the meat is particularly fresh. My favorite food is roast whole sheep. When the cook pulled out the roasted sheep's head, I still felt cruel and didn't want to eat it. But when plates of cut mutton were placed in front of me, I could no longer resist the temptation. I picked up a large piece and stuffed it in my mouth, feeling particularly soft and tender, and my teeth felt a little crunchy. I ate one piece after another, and in a short time, we wiped out the whole sheep.

When I left Qinghai, I reluctantly took one last look at Qinghai, a place where my happiness and dreams are condensed. The setting sun shines on the sparkling lake, which seems to be telling the story of continuous parting and gurgling. Here, I realized the magnificence of "where the water is flowing and the mountains and islands are standing"; Here, I enjoyed the tranquility of "the fallen petal is independent and the swift flies together"; Here, I witnessed the immortality and magic of nature. Back in Shanghai, looking at the cars passing through the cement forest, I don't know why I suddenly felt a burst of sadness. The beautiful Qinghai will be my eternal yearning.
