About this activity

Qinghai Lake is the biggest inland lake in China, and the amazing Chaka Salt Lake looks like a mirror in the sunshine. Both are famous in Qinghai Province in China.

This private day tour will let you pick you up at 8:30am from your centrally located Xining hotel, then take 2-hour car ride along the Qinghai-Tibet express highway to Qinghai Lake. You will be impressed by the huge lake, and grassland with Tibetan yurts beside the lake.

Afterwards you will take another 2-hour car ride to Chaka Salt Lake where you will enjoy the fantastic mirror-like water view.

Afterwards you will take 4-hour car ride back to your Xining hotel where the tour concludes.

Please note this is a very long day tour.
