"Qinghai Lake, as seen from the train to Tibet" Qinghai Hu by Confucius

Qinghai Hu Travel Guide: 0 reviews and 3 photos

East corner on left, west corner on right

I took a photo from the train's window as soon as I saw the east corner of Qinghai Lake, and then later also took a photo of the west corner.

Here's the middle of Qinghai Lake

It really is a big lake, and the train does take you fairly close to shore in a couple of spots. You can barely see Bird Island on the horizon, so bring a pair of binoculars.

Taking photos of Qinghai Lake from the train

You can open the window on the train from Xining to Golmud. This allows you to get decent photos without the annoying glare. It's a pity our train passed Qinghai Lake during the late afternoon, but at least it didn't get dark until we reached Delingha.

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:Look! I'm the first member to create a Qinghai Lake page on VT!
  • Cons:Unfortunately I don't have any tips as the train didn't stop here!
  • In a nutshell:You can see Qinghai Lake from the railway, but the train doesn't stop here.
