Qinghai Lake Tourism in Winter

July to August is the ideal travel season of Qinghai Lake every year. At this time, the rape flowers in the area around the lake are in full bloom, covering a thousand acres of land, with suitable temperature and scarce precipitation, which is the golden age for visiting Qinghai Lake. At the same time, it is also an ideal time for cycling enthusiasts to ride around the lake, and the international road cycling race around Qinghai Lake held during this period has attracted athletes and spectators from all over the world. However, during the peak season, accommodation and consumer prices will rise, so you need to book in advance.

From May to June, although the temperature is low, it is the best season for bird watching in Qinghai Lake. Groups of migratory birds inhabit Bird Island, which provides a rare opportunity for birdwatchers.

From September to October, although there is more rain in September, it may affect the travel plan. Although the weather in October is dry, the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, and with the end of the tourist season, some tent hotels begin to evacuate, and accommodation may become difficult.

From November to January, although the weather is cold, thousands of swans can be seen, which adds unique charm to winter tourism.

The north and south banks of Qinghai Lake used to be the main roads of the Silk Road, Qinghai Road and Tang-Fan Ancient Road. The existing National Highway 109 crosses the south of Qinghai Lake and extends westward. National Highway 315 runs through Hubei and connects the lake area. In addition, there are many roads with different grades around the lake area, forming a road traffic network covering all towns and villages, providing tourists with convenient travel options.

1. Located in the northwest of Qinghai Province, China, Qinghai Lake is the largest inland saltwater lake in China and one of the four largest freshwater lakes in China. Its unique natural scenery attracts many tourists to watch and relax. However, the climatic characteristics and geographical location of Qinghai Lake make the tourism experience different in different seasons. Therefore, it is very important to choose a suitable tourist month to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Qinghai Lake.

2. Spring (April to June): Spring is one of the golden periods of Qinghai Lake tourism. With the gradual rise of temperature, the frozen lake began to melt and the lake became clear and transparent. Visitors visiting this season can not only enjoy the lakes and mountains, but also witness the spectacular scenes of groups of migratory birds foraging and perching by the lake. In addition, spring is also the time for livestock migration and grazing on the grassland, and tourists can get close to the life of local herders.

3. Summer (July to September): Summer is one of the peak tourist seasons in Qinghai Lake. At this time, the climate is mild and sunny, which is an ideal time for water sports, fishing and grassland recreation. It has become the heart of many tourists to set up tents by the lake and enjoy outdoor camping. At the same time, summer is also a time when many ethnic festivals are held around Qinghai Lake, and tourists can immerse themselves in rich ethnic cultures.

4. Autumn (October to November): Although autumn is the off-season of Qinghai Lake, its scenery is as beautiful as any season. The sky is clear, the lake is clear, and the surrounding mountains and rivers have changed into colorful autumn clothes. During this period, visitors can enjoy the magnificent pictures of lakes and mountains, and taste local fresh fruits and delicious food.

5. Winter (December to March): Although there are few tourists in winter, Qinghai Lake has a different charm. The surrounding mountains are covered with snow, and the lake is frozen, forming a picturesque world of ice and snow. Visitors can experience skiing, ice fishing and other winter activities, or enjoy the silver wrap on the lake.
