Day 16: June 27, weather: light rain turned cloudy.
I got up at 5:30 in the morning to watch the sunrise, but I didn't see the sunrise and it rained, and the character began to fall freely from this time. Today's journey is from the Black Horse River to Gangcha and then directly to Qilian, about 300 kilometers.
I have been thinking, is it because we did not spend 210 yuan in the Erlang sword to enjoy the beauty of Qinghai Lake, so God warned us a little, whether it is or not, this day in Qinghai Lake is raining, everywhere gray, Qinghai Lake in our eyes on one word: big, two words: really big, three words: very big. That's all.
Well, no regrets, no lyricism, let's go, no matter what, we have to finish the road.
The road around the east of the lake is in good condition, the road is flat and straight, I heard that every year there will be an international bicycle rally around Qinghai Lake, but there is hardly a car in sight, it is really inaccessible. So, you can frolic on the highway unscrupulously, take pictures, don't say we don't have safety awareness, it's really too safe.
The view around Huanhu East Road is really beautiful, and if, I mean, if there is sunshine, blue sky, and white clouds, today we will be crazy again.
Well, bid farewell to Qinghai Lake, we head to Qilian.
Cattle and sheep stand in the way

Soon arrived in Gangcha, originally prepared to eat lunch in Gangcha, because it has been raining, everyone is not in the mood to eat, I even have the idea of returning directly to Xining, but after everyone discussed or decided to hurry to Qilian, in case the day is sunny?
The Qilian grassland arrived, the weather still did not improve, the cattle and sheep on the grassland.
Qilian Mountain Dadongshu Mountain Pass, altitude 4120, after this is the county seat of Qilian County.
Flocks of sheep on the hillside
After 3 o'clock in the afternoon, I finally arrived at Qilian County, first found a place to eat, and went to see Zhuoer Mountain after eating.
Before entering the Zhuoer Mountain Scenic Area, it was still raining lightly, and I didn't plan to go in, but my teammates all said that they were coming, and it was a pity not to go in, so I bought a ticket to debut.
Zhuoer Mountain overlooks the Qilian Valley, and the weather is still not good.
It was getting a little better.
A stone with four words written on it, coupled with a little snow mountain in the distance, seems to have become a landscape. Hopefully I didn't destroy the frame.
The hillside meadows below the hill look really green.
Snow-capped mountains hidden in clouds.
Near, far, farther away, how does nature do it?
Okay, finish work, rest early. At night, I live in a Muslim family, dinner is also rectified by the Muslim family, the Muslims are in Ramadan to make us a separate meal, the taste is really good, the most important thing is the lamb fried noodles I want to eat.
The family prefers to raise flowers and looked at at least a dozen varieties
Eat and drink enough, of course, drink water is not wine, Muslims are not allowed to drink alcohol. Then go out for a walk, walk along the river, the path looks like a well-groomed landscape road, do not want to walk into a dead end, turn around and come back is nearly ten o'clock, this character is really weak and explosive.
Day 17: June 28, Weather: Sunny and cloudy.
Today is an exciting day.
The itinerary is as follows: from Qilian County to Menyuan to see the rapeseed (I heard that the flowers have not yet bloomed), and then directly to Xining Airport, and finally home.
Got up early in the morning and ate the breakfast prepared for us by the inn and left on time at 7:30.
Passing by the Golden Pagoda photographed at the Great Temple of Arou, it is also a Gelug monastery.
The Qilian grassland appeared again, and the sky was much better, much better than yesterday's situation.

The prairie is really big.
Crazy enough, set off, the last stop door source.
The door source arrived, originally to see the rapeseed, but some flowers have already bloomed.
Menyuan will hold a rape flower festival in early July every year, when tens of thousands of acres of rape flowers will attract millions of people to Menyuan, we came more than a week early, rape flowers have not yet bloomed.
Since the rape flowers did not fully bloom, we did not turn into the largest rape flower base, only looked at the side of the road, and some people were not allowed to enter the flower field on the side of the road, and could only stand next to it to take pictures. The weather is still not good, and the beauty of the rape flowers has not fully bloomed.
Just this one model.
This side is not open at all. But you can imagine the scenery after the opening.
I am leaving again, the next stop is Xining Airport, before leaving, I will show you the source of the door when the rape flowers are in full bloom and the sun is shining.
Do I dare say it is not beautiful after it blooms? (Web Download)
Almost seventeen days of the journey were coming to an end, and everyone was already beginning to miss home, obviously excited again. Yes, the beautiful scenery can not replace the warmth of home, you can walk on the road, but the feeling of home can not be forgotten, so we go home.
postscript:
Qinghai-Tibet is a spiritual journey, coming, walking, and leaving, whether the soul is pure or not, it will pass. Come with the heart, walk with the heart, pick up what should be picked up, let go of the one who should be put down, we who enter the world cannot come out of the world, let our hearts practice in the world.
Every journey is a realization, this road we have walked, with our eyes to see, with our hands to touch, with our mouths to breathe, but also with the heart inspired, to understand what not to say. The scenery along the way will become an eternal memory, and in the following years you will eventually find that your understanding has penetrated deep into the bone marrow and melted into the blood.
With these, the years are colorful!
The world is very big, the universe stretches for ninety thousand miles, your acre and three points of land are too small; time is like a shuttle, five thousand years up and down, your thirty thousand days and nights are too short. Don't cling to trivialities, life is like raindrops, the process from appearance to landing is life.
Go on a trip! The other you are in the mountains and rivers.
I took the Buddha-figures away,
Leaving behind thousands of avatars;
Blend into the landscape of grass and trees,
Forever with white clouds and blue sky.
