How long does it take to ride around Qinghai Lake?

It is more than 3000 meters above sea level and 360 kilometers away.

Summarize several cycling routes around the lake for reference:

The first kind, riding for three days, is suitable for people who are in good health, don't take pictures very much, and are pressed for time.

D 1: Xihai Town-Jinsha Bay-Shang 109 National Road-15 1 Base-Jiangxi ditch is 99km long.

Huanhu East Road is 56km long, and take 109 National Road to Jiangxi ditch for 43km.

D2: Jiangxi ditch-Heima River-Shinaihai-Bird Island 10 1km.

Jiangxi ditch is 49 kilometers away from Heima River, and Heima River is 52 kilometers away from Bird Island.

D3: Bird Island-Gangcha-Hargeer-Ganzi River-Xihai Town 152km.

Bird Island is 65 kilometers to Gangcha, and Gangcha is 87 kilometers to Xihai Town.

Comments: This route is obviously tired, especially after the third day, there is no turning back, because there was no accommodation before going to Xihai Town, and I met a cyclist and didn't come back until dark.

The second type, riding for 4 days, is suitable for healthy, stop-and-go photo travelers.

D 1: Xihai Town-Jinsha Bay-Shang 109 National Road-15 1 Base-Jiangxi ditch is 99km long.

Huanhu East Road is 56km long, and take 109 National Road to Jiangxi ditch for 43km.

D2: Jiangxi ditch-Heimahe-Shinaihai whole journey 9 1km.

Jiangxi ditch is 49 kilometers away from Heima River, and Heima River is 42 kilometers away from Shinaihai. The scenery from Heima River to Huanhu West Road in Shinaihai is the best.

D3: The whole journey from Shinaihai to Bird Island to Gangcha is 75km.

Shinaihai to Bird Island 10km, Bird Island-Gangcha 65km.

D4: 87km away from Gangcha-Xihai Town.

Comments: If you want to ride a bike all the way, take more photos and have more fun, this route is still very good. Although I rode a little more on the first day, I could have time to go down to the lake when the scenery was the best the next day, and it was easier on the third and fourth days.

The third type: 3-day cycling+chartered car, suitable for children's shoes that are a little short of time but want to ride a bike.

D 1: Xihai Town-109 Riding in front of National Road-15 1 Base-Heimahe chartered bus 148km, riding 56km, and the length of chartered bus is 92km.

It is 56 kilometers around the East Lake Road, 43 kilometers from 109 National Road to Jiangxi ditch, and 49 kilometers from Jiangxi ditch to Heima River. The scenery of National Highway 109 is quite repetitive, that is, grasslands, cattle and sheep, and roads in Cairo. There are many carts and exhaust gas, so it is more cost-effective to choose this section of chartered cars.

D2: Ride Heima River-Bird Island for 52km.

This paragraph is the most beautiful. You can enjoy playing and taking photos for 52 kilometers every day.

D3: Bird Island-cycling in Gangcha-chartered car in Xihai Town 152km.

Bird Island-You can see the Qinghai-Tibet Railway just after 65km, which is quite beautiful. I just found that Xihai Town has many uphill slopes and I can't see Qinghai Lake, so I chose a chartered car, 87km.

Just found a chartered car in Xihai: Ke Zengge: 13299707785. He's just checking. People are very nice, 200 to the West Sea, 5 people +5 cars. As for the 109 national road charter, we can discuss it with the cavalry battalion before departure, and they also contact the charter business. However, the price of this part cannot be guaranteed. This is just an ideal route in my imagination, and the cost may be a bit high.

Comments: This route is very suitable for people who want to ride a bike but don't want to ride too tired. They mainly take pictures and play. When they meet a place with good scenery, they can stop to take pictures.
