The natural scenery here is picturesque, Dulan Flower Sea Grassland
The self-driving trip in Haixi Prefecture is full of surprises along the way. In a place like Haixi Prefecture, you will truly understand what the most beautiful scenery is on the road. I have always liked natural scenery. During my self-driving trip in Haixi Prefecture, a big surprise was the Haisi Flower Sea Grassland in Dulan County. Huahai Grassland is relatively far away from the county seat, 100 kilometers away, and the scenery along the way is also very beautiful.
Dulan County is located in the southeast of the Qaidam Basin. As early as more than 1,000 years ago, Dulan was an important town on the Qinghai Silk Road, the "Ancient Tang-Tibo Road". Thousands of ancient tombs and ancient ruins are scattered along the more than 200 kilometers from Dulan County in the east to Xixiaha in the east and to Nomuhong in the west. Haisi Flower Sea in Dulan County is located in the middle of the section from National Highway 109 to Golmud.
Haisi Flower Sea Grassland is a plateau flower sea, with an altitude of 3,500 meters. This altitude is relatively comfortable, the air is not too thin, and the temperature is very pleasant. Dulan is Mongolian, meaning "warmth", which is a very appropriate word.
When you arrive at Haisi Flower Sea, you must climb up to take a closer look. Such a magnificent scene can only be seen when you climb to the top of the mountain.
These beautiful flowers have an equally beautiful name: wolfsbane flower.
In the Qaidam Basin, Dulan is known as the "oasis". It not only has beautiful natural scenery, but also has beautiful legends left over from ancient civilization. Walking in the sea of flowers, the air has a fresh smell, which is refreshing and refreshing.
There is a base camp in Huahai Grassland. There are many yurts here where tourists can eat, relax and have fun.
I really like looking at the distant peaks. In the weather like Qinghai, everything feels so clean.
The yurt has a simple fence. This wooden fence fits the environment very well and is not inconsistent at all.
You can also ride horses on the Huahai Grassland, but the horse farm is enclosed. I didn’t imagine that you can freely gallop on the grassland.
I had a lunch with prairie characteristics in a yurt. Although it was not that delicious, it still left a deep impression.
