There are "three scenic spots" in Mount Osaka, namely sunrise and sunset, rain and fog, strange peaks and strange rocks. To see the sunrise of Mt. Osaka.. The sun always appears on the zigzag horizon of Mount Osaka, and the bright circle surrounds a fiery red disk. The zigzag peaks hold the disk higher and higher like a bergamot. The hills rise and fall one after another, and at the foot of the mountain is the surging Haomen River, and the scenery is spectacular. The sun was very crisp at sunset, falling directly into the jagged valley. In summer, Mount Osaka is often filled with clouds and mist, which is closely related to its geographical location. The rainfall in Mount Osaka is very abundant. There are clouds and there are rains. Sometimes small elephants are like water vapor; sometimes large elephants are pouring. When the rape blossoms are in full bloom, it is also a good choice to come here to see the rape blossoms all over the mountains and plains.Menyuan · 19.7 km from downtown

This place is incredibly expensive, and the 20 RMB shuttle bus is such a great deal; I'd probably pay around 40 RMB myself. On the way up, you can see snow-capped mountains from around the world and their corresponding altitudes. The ride takes about 15 to 25 minutes. Once you're up, you'll see 3-4 interconnected lakes, but there are 7-8 in total. The first 2-3 lakes have a very deep blue color, and the later lakes gradually change to a grayish-yellow hue. I recommend bringing a drone to capture distant views of the lakes, mountains, sky, clouds, grasslands, etc. If it's cold, the scenic area provides a small heated room to wait for the shuttle. Overall, it's excellent value, beautiful scenery, and the service is excellent.

Unfortunately, the flowers had faded and there was no one around, but that actually allowed the scenery to be fully appreciated. It was wonderful. I think even without people, the snow-capped mountains, grasslands, and blue skies were in their purest and most natural state.

Free attractions, the beef jerky at the gate is cheap and delicious😋 In summer, the closer you get to the snow-capped mountains, the less snow you can see In summer, there are many springs to see in the ice waterfall, which is also fun to play. In winter, it is more beautiful with ice hangings. It is worth a visit if you pass by

The top of the mountain is densely covered with primitive spruce forests, and the hillsides are covered with shrubs. It is green all year round and the scenery is spectacular.

When I went to Qinghu Lake for a tour, I drove along the road from Xining until I came to a place called "Flower Sea Mandarin Duck". I saw many people gathered on the roadside playing with a pile of white things, which looked like a small mountain. I was also curious, so I stopped the car and got off to take a look. It turned out to be a pile of frost. It should have been frost at night, and then it rained, so the frost was washed down the mountain and piled up. Many passers-by passed by here, and everyone was very excited. They all got off the car to play with the frost. Of course, I also joined the team.

Yuer Mountain Scenic Area is located in Menyuan County, Haibei Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture. The forests here are lush and green due to the water from the snow of Qilian Mountain. In autumn, the yellow leaves are everywhere, which is very beautiful. This scenic area seems to have not been overdeveloped, and there is not much commercial interference. Yuer Mountain exists quietly, waiting for people who understand her to appreciate and experience her.

In addition to the Dabanshan Observation Deck, Qingshizui Town is the best place to view the millions of acres of cauliflower in Menyuan. The famous Yuanshan Observation Deck is located here. The town can provide food and accommodation, and there are many hotels and guesthouses to choose from. However, during the flowering season in July, accommodation prices in Qingshizui Town will increase.
