Have Fun on Qinghai Husha Island

Qinghai Husha Island is located in the northeast of Qinghai Lake. It’s a huge sand dune that extends into Qinghai Lake. This sand dune covers a very large area. The end of the desert is the broad Qinghai Lake, a uniquely majestic scene. There are two small freshwater lakes on the sandy island as well as reed strewn wetlands, for a beautiful environment. Here you can also enjoy sandboarding, sand motorcycling and other exciting options as well as the chance to see incredible sand sculptures. Various tour options are available.

Cycling along the Huanhu West Road

The west road around Qinghai lake is called “the most beautiful road around the lake” because it is close to the lake and boasts beautiful scenery. For the section nearest to the lake, you can touch the lake by walking for 3 to 5 minutes off the highway. At the same time, because the road level is a bit higher than the lake surface, the view you may enjoy is wider than other areas. In addition, this is also the best section to enjoy the sunrise of Qinghai Lake. If you stay a night here, don’t miss this wonderful opportunity to watch the starry sky at night.

Watch Sunrise on Heima River

Sunrise on Heima River lies west of Xining, not far from Qinghai Lake. It is where Qinghai Rim Road starts. Tourists come to Heima River to ride around Qinghai Lake and enjoy the beautiful sunrise over the sacred lake on the plateau. In addition, Heima River is a preferred place from which to enjoy the sunrise over Qinghai Lake with a wide perspective. 

Enjoy Tibetan Dance and Show

Tibetan folk song and dance are also recommended to you. Through the efforts of ancient folk artists and intellectuals, people created the Tibetan opera art. Tibetan Opera has various kinds of performances, such as totem mask dance, white mask artistic performances, and jumping God art and so on. Guozhuang Dance, also known as “Guozhuo”, “Gezhuang’ or “Zhuo”, means “singing and dancing in a circle” in the Tibetan languages. The dance involves repeated musical dialogues between male and female dancers, in antiphonal style unaccompanied by any musical instruments.
