1. Convenient transportation.
From Zhongwei, start southwest along Dingwu Expressway, turn to Lanying Expressway in Jingtai County, turn to Beijing-Tibet Expressway in Lanzhou, and then turn west to Xining. Continue to go to Huangyuan County, enter National Highway 315, and then realize the tour around the lake. The whole route around the lake is basically a national highway. With good traffic conditions, you can enjoy the fun of go on road trip.
Second, the experience of go on road trip around Qinghai Lake is very high.
The whole tour around Qinghai Lake is a big scenic spot. The whole scenic spot is full of lakes and mountains, with unique and beautiful scenery. The plateau, snow-capped mountains, Gobi, desert, grassland, salt lake, the mirror of the sky, the prayer flags of Manidui everywhere, the yak grazing under the white clouds on the plateau, ethnic customs and so on are all worth appreciating and experiencing.
Third, go on road trip is more spontaneous.
The greatest advantage of go on road trip is to enjoy the scenery along the way and enjoy the pleasure of driving. Pass through haiyan county and gangcha county along National Highway 315, enter the West Road around Lake in Provincial Highway 26, turn to National Highway 19, and enjoy the "Mirror of the Sky" at Chaka Salt Lake. Then turn back to National Highway 19 and drive eastward along the south bank of Qinghai Lake, enjoy the sunset and sunrise of Qinghai Lake, and stay at the lakeside viewing room overnight. It is wonderful and absolutely a unique experience. How nice it is that all the trips are not limited by time!
The distance from Zhongwei to Qinghai Lake is less than 7 kilometers. Of course, there is no need to rent a car. Just drive!
1. There are beautiful scenery along the way from Zhongwei to Qinghai Lake. Self-driving in this section is originally a part of the trip. It's a great pleasure to enjoy the beautiful scenery while walking and bid farewell to Zhongwei at the end of the lake!
second, if you arrive at Qinghai Lake by public transport, you may feel more tired when you arrive at your destination. When you arrive, you have to think about the approach of the car rental company and go through the car rental procedures. In fact, it takes a certain amount of time.
Third, because of the long trips and the care of many passengers, the car condition of the car rental company can't guarantee that every car is very good. I flew from Chengdu to Xining last month, and rented an Audi A6 at the airport. It costs about 6 yuan a day to go around Qinghai Lake. Although the model is new, the brakes are shaking badly and the noise is severe, so you should be careful when driving all the way.
fourth, if the driving skills and experience are not sophisticated and rich enough, there will be a period of adaptation to the car rental company, which is different from the models that it often drives. Even feel uncomfortable all the time.
5. Generally, a deposit of about RMB 2, will be paid by credit when renting a car, and a credit card is required. It will take some time to deal with violations. Feel free without your own car.
the above suggestions are for reference only.
Zhongwei suggested to go on road trip when he went to Qinghai Lake, that he should stop and see, go out to play the scenery, drive around the lake, and have fun around. I just went there last week.
It is recommended to charter a car for the following reasons:
1. The road conditions are more complicated, and the old drivers are familiar with the road conditions and are more reliable;
2. The distance is relatively long, so driving for a long time is easy to fatigue and increase the risk;
3. Qinghai is suitable for a leisurely stroll. If you experience it, you won't have such a mood by driving.
4. The chartered master can also provide a lot of play suggestions, and help solve problems when encountering them, which saves a lot of worry.
Qinghai Lake is relatively large, so it is better to drive by car, and the scenery along the way is quite good.
If there is only one driver, you have to drive for a long time. For safety reasons, you'd better rent a car in Xining. It's convenient to rent a car. There is CAR Inc. next to Xining Station, and it's convenient to return the car and take the train.
