In depth
<p> Qinghai Lake is China's largest inland lake, surrounded by thousands of acres of rapeseed flowers and snow-capped peaks. Chaka Salt Lake is like a mirror on clear days without wind, with reflections of people in the clouds. </p><p> Ta'er Monastery in Xining is a famous Tibetan Buddhist temple, with butter flowers and embroidered piles that are truly breathtaking. From Qilian Mountain to Zhuo'er Mountain, red rocks, meadows, and snow-capped peaks are all in one frame, earning it the nickname "Little Switzerland of the East." Qinghai's blue is the blue closest to the sky </p>
