Qinghai Lake, literal meaning: blue sea lake. 青海湖，直譯：蓝色的湖。

It’s situated on the Tibetan Plateau in the province of Qinghai, and is the largest lake in China. It’s not far from Xining, about 100 kilometres (62 mi) west of Xining at 3,205 m (10,515 feet) above sea level.
Qinghai lake is one of China’s few AAAAA (5A) rated national tourist attractions. The beauty of the lake will not fail you, there are many trails to reach the lake; but only one official park. It’s safer/hassle-free to pay RMB100 to enter the park than trying to negotiate with Tibetans that guard the trails offering horse/yak rides.
青海湖是中國最大的內陸咸水湖，距離西寧市100公裡左右。青海湖湖面海拔3260米，是國家5A旅游景點。青海湖的美麗一定不會讓你失望，雖然有很多小道都可以通向青海湖。但花100元人民幣買門票進景區還是最安全的方法，因為很多小路都由藏民看管，他們會提供你馬和牦牛拍照會騎坐，但價錢方面是沒有個定價的。
Tibetan Prayer Flags are commonly seen in Qinghai Tibet Plateau, they are inscribed with auspicious symbols, invocations, prayers, and mantras. Tibetan Buddhists for centuries have planted these flags outside their homes and places of spiritual practice for the wind to carry the beneficent vibrations across the countryside. Prayer flags are said to bring happiness, long life and prosperity to the flag planter and those in the vicinity.
金帆是藏族的吉祥物，帆上附上藏咒语，经风吹动，仿佛天神在念经，让人无限神往。
You can rent a Tibetan house here to stay for a while! 你可以租個藏族小屋住一住。
You can also take a ferry and visit the other side of Qinghai lake. 你也可以乘船去到湖的另一边。
The other side, 湖的另一边。
There are few things you can do on this side of the lake, bird watching, water sports and have some food. For me, all I need is some local yak milk yoghurt!!!
在湖的這邊你可以去觀鳥台，玩水上游戲﹔還可以吃東西。最吸引我的就是純正的牦牛酸奶了！
You still have to go back to the side where you entered the park to exist the park, a bit confusing I know. But with views like this, it’s an easy pleasant walk around 20 minutes, remember to walk slowly so you will not feel out of breath; after all, this is already at 3,000m+ altitude. Any aggressive movement might trigger altitude sickness. For those who does not prefer walking, simply pay for a mini cart ride (RMB10 per person).
要離開景區還是要回到上船的湖那邊，有些麻煩，沒錯。不過看著這麼美的風景，慢走個20分鐘也是挺舒服的。但是記得一定要慢慢走，畢竟這裡已經是海拔超過3000米的地方了，如果快跑或快走很容易就有高原反應﹔會喘不過氣來的。當然，如果你實在不喜歡走路，可以選擇付1人10元人民幣坐電動車。
