Menyuan Flower Fields (门源) - Qinghai

The Menyuan Flower Fields are a spectacular sight to see and is the largest rapeseed (canola) plantation in Northwestern China. The glorious fields spread out in every direction and stretch from the snow-capped mountains to the horizon. June-July is the best time to visit as this is when the flowers are in full blossom and snow still falls on the high mountain peaks creating a stunning contrast. Getting There - Travel to the flower fields is possible by high-speed train or by car. When traveling from Xining city, the train takes around 30 minutes. The 3 hour journey by car from Xining is beautiful and takes you over a high mountain pass where it is possible to stop at a lookout point. Food & Restaurants - There are many local restaurants in the nearby village. The local Muslim restaurants are highly recommended where you can fill yourself with sensational lamb (羊肉), potato dishes (土豆片) and noodles. Shopping - Be sure to buy some local honey from one of the many roadside stalls. It is absolutely delicious and very fragrant. #qinghai #menyuan #flowers #青海 #门源 #西宁 #西北

Rapeseed flowers are not rare, but the rapeseed flowers in Menyuan are magnificent, with continuous yellow blocks spreading to the horizon, endless.

The snowy peaks of the Gangshika in the great northwest are so impressive!

I've dreamed a million times of the summit of the snowy mountains, and now I stand here, gazing at the snowy mountains right before my eyes, with the journey at my feet, yet I find myself unable to take the steps forward. They say the meaning of climbing is not just the vanity and satisfaction of reaching the summit, but the confidence to walk on the path of climbing, with a sparkle in your eyes and hope in your heart. For climbers, who doesn't covet the vanity of the summit, the scenery from the top! Who isn't advancing bravely towards the goals in their heart? Human nature is just like this! Who would give up without trying everything possible? We distance ourselves from the prejudices of the marketplace, hide from the turmoil of the city, not talking about fame and profit, here we come to set ourselves free. No matter the age, we see ourselves as naive children, becoming the heroes in our own eyes. Regardless of poverty or wealth, we find joy and freedom, enriching our inner selves. To interact with others with happiness and sincerity is also a pursuit! Fellow travelers with golden waves, dreams entwined with snowy mountains, watching over the snow peaks!

Gangshika Snow Peak

If mountains could speak, would their first words to you be 'I have waited for you for a long time'? And would my first words upon seeing you be 'Long time no see'? The blue icefalls crush the eyes, the last tenderness between the mountains under the blowing of the north wind. The first glimpse, like a last glance, brings so many emotions surging to my heart, abrupt yet powerless. One side is black, the other white. The sun says I have given my favor to the southern girl. A pretentious flower rushes to the mountain top, blooming in the most passionate way on the glacier, with light and ceaseless motion. Collecting a liter of tears from the broken-hearted, a liter of endless sorrow from those who have lost their only child, burying them at the mountain top with a smile. You all are blessed people. I am at the Gangshika Snow Peak, at an altitude of three thousand meters, praying for you. It will take effect tomorrow, lasting for thirty thousand days, don't be greedy. Just run, move forward, be unrestrained, and chase all fantasies and shatterings. I have piled up a Mani stone heap for you in front of the deity of the snow peak, with solemnity, redemption, and full of joy. You all are blessed people, including me.

ZHUO’ER MOUNTAIN SCENIC: It is part of Qilian mountain range in the North east of China.I visited in August which is the best time to visit this place since you can see the beautiful yellow rape flower fields mixed with layers of lush green. If you go there before June there's no flower fields, it will be bare.Not a place for lazy people like me because of mountain climbing and moving around.you should bring an extra jacket if you want hiking its usually cold at the top.Overallu its not a huge scenic area, thereby less crowds also compared to other sites in the area.i recommend you to visit this place especially July or August.
