Qinghai Lake is located in northwest of the imposing Qinghai Altiplano, 150 km away from Xining city of Qinghai Province. With 4,282 square kilometers, Qinghai Lake is the largest inland and salt water lake in China. With its altitude of 3,195 m, shaped like an ellipse, Qinghai Lake reaches 28.71m at the deepest point but averages 19 m overall. Due to the high altitude, the Qinghai Lake weather is very cool. Even in the middle of the summer, the average temperature in the daytime is about 15°C. Therefore, it is often selected as a summer resort by most tourists.
What to see?
From ancient times to the present, whenever people mention Qinghai Lake they think of 'green lake', 'blue sea' or 'fairyland', because of the marvelous natural beauty reflected on it. Outside, it circles the lake with four continuous mountains and extends broad grassland at the foot of them. Inside, like a master baker, he decorated 
the water with many little islands. All these natural attractions come together perfectly to form a fairy-land to attract tourists.
Haixin Shan, also called 'Immortal Hill', has temples, lucid springs and green grassland on the island. It is said that Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty (581-618) had particularly ordained officials to raise horses here.
The lake offers year-round pleasure. But the best time to visit Qinghai Lake is in summer. Many prefer when it is a green and lively world. The mountains and grassland wear a green blanket with herds of cattle and sheep dispersed over the grassland. The bank is connected with stretching farmlands, which is prospering with blooming rape flowers and rolling with wheat waves, sending blasts of fragrance to the lake. The water here is also very limpid, which reflects the pretty green mountains in the deep like a mirror. The color changes with time and varies in different depth of the lake, which produces a sense of mystery, hence the name 'Seven-Colored Lake'. As a result of the teeming fish, the mouth of the nearby river has a yellow color to it as the fish float close to the surface. Many birds are also attracted to this beautiful lake and bountiful surroundings, resulting in this place being a kingdom for birds' watchers. Cycling around Qinghai Lake is a great way to fully enjoy the scenery.
Qinghai Lake is really a good place for travelers. Apart from embracing the heavenly beauty here, you can either stroll on the grass or ride on a yak, climb the sand hill or visiting the historic remains left on the Tang-Tubo ancient road or the Silk Road. If you are more sociable, the hospitable local people will warmly welcome you as you visit their homes and enjoy a taste of the Tibetan life. In addition, tents and various delicious foods are provided for the tourists in the pastures.Travel Tips
