[Part 1]

The summer vacation in August is an unforgettable vacation for me. My father took me to Qinghai to visit the beautiful Qinghai Lake. It is a place that has been in my heart for many years. For me, Qinghai Lake is full of curiosity and mysterious reverie.

The plane landed slowly over Xining. Looking from the window, through the white clouds, you can clearly see a palm-sized blue mirror on the ground in the distance. It is so calm, so flawless, so bright, as if it is like a crystal sapphire inlaid on the continuous green plateau, ah! Finally I saw you——Qinghai Lake, which I am fascinated by. I couldn't help but slap the window of the plane and shout: "Qinghai Lake! I'm coming!"

Dad's friend drove to pick us up. My impatient mood made the adults go straight to Qinghai Lake without stopping in Xining city. I put my head out of the sunroof of the car and enjoyed the unique and beautiful scenery of the western plateau.

The magnificence of Qinghai Lake deeply attracted me. Surrounded by mountains, there is a blue lake in the middle. The beautiful scenery of the high mountains is clearly layered, and the lower parts are lush green grass, as if the mountains are covered with a thick green carpet. However, the mountain peaks are covered with snow, and there is snow all year round. Beside the road at the foot of the mountain, here are rapeseed flowers planted by hard-working people. The golden yellow flowers sway in the breeze, sending us bursts of rich rapeseed fragrance from time to time, as if expressing the warm welcome to us on behalf of the local children. Looking forward along the two golden flower belts, the blue lake is right in front of us, it is really huge! No end in sight. The blue sky and blue water blend in the distance, and the boundary between them cannot be found. It is unclear whether the white clouds are floating in the lake or in the sky. ah ! So magnificent! I felt like I was flying through a huge landscape painting.

The water of Qinghai Lake deeply attracted me. Looking at the lake from a distance, the blue, quiet, pure, cool and calm lake water has no ripples. It can give people an illusion. Is Qinghai Lake a dead sea? When you get closer, you will feel ripples coming towards you from a distance, mixed with a slight wind blowing on your cheeks, which is very comfortable. When you step into the lake, you can clearly see your little feet, the little fish playing happily, and the green water plants dancing gracefully. I sat on the big blue stone by the lake, with my bare feet and splashing in the water. The soft sunshine made me feel lazy and comfortable.

The yellow fish in Qinghai Lake deeply attracted me. Qinghai Lake is a famous saltwater lake in my country. There is a rare and unique cold-water fish living in the lake - Huang fish. The black back, yellow belly, and big round eyes are very cute. Because this kind of fish lives in this plateau cold water environment, it grows very slowly. Unexpectedly, it can only grow about 50 grams in weight a year. If it is as heavy as our Yellow River carp in Zhengzhou, it will take 20 to 30 years! Therefore, I heard from adults that the meat of this fish is very delicious. Due to large-scale fishing in the past, it is rare to see more than three taels of yellowtail fish in the lake now. Because of human greed, Huangyu is so pitiful! Environmental pollution and ecological destruction are really sad.

The sun is about to set, and the rays of the setting sun shine on the lake with sparkling waves. Birds fly overhead,They also rushed back to their homes. I also got on the return car and looked back at the beautiful Qinghai Lake. I will come to see you again next year if I have the opportunity. I hope you are still as beautiful and holy as this.

[Part 2]

The morning after I returned to Zhangye, my hometown that I miss day and night, I received a call from my cousin while I was still sleeping, asking me to go to Qinghai Lake with me. I agreed without hesitation.

After packing our simple luggage, we set off. After driving for about an hour, we arrived at Biandukou in Minle County at the junction of Gansu and Qinghai. Nearby are large patches of rapeseed flowers, and in the distance are the mountainous Qilian Mountains. Against the backdrop of the golden yellow flowers, the blue sky, white clouds, green grass and green mountains form a colorful oil painting. As the car continued to move forward, the tall and steep Biandu Gorge came into view. Two mountains flanked each other, cliffs and skyscrapers, and a stream of water with rough waves. Along the gorge, it is like experiencing two seasons. Where there is sunshine, it is like bathing in summer light, and where there is shade, the cool breeze is blowing, like entering autumn. On both sides of the gorge, there are endless pastures, fragrant wild flowers, and fat cattle and sheep. The cows and sheep all over the hills reminded me of Lao She's description in "Grassland": "There are hills on all sides, the flat land is green, and the hills are also green. The sheep go up the hills for a while, and then come down again. Wherever they go, they seem to have embroidered large white flowers on the boundless green carpet." Every Piandukou has such beautiful scenery, but what about Qinghai Lake? I can't help but think about it...

We were laughing and laughing all the way, and suddenly, the car came to a sudden stop. What's wrong? It turned out that a yak was blocking our way - it was crossing the road slowly. Gradually, there were more yaks and sheep on the road, and they followed them across the road slowly. The drivers are experienced and patiently let them pass first. They walk gracefully and steadily, swaying their tails, crossing or walking along the road comfortably, forming a unique and beautiful scenery.

As dusk fell, we stopped rushing and stayed in a family hotel with ethnic characteristics in Qilian County, Qinghai Province. As the night grew darker and the lights started to turn on, we arrived at Swiss Impression Street in Qilian County. Qilian County is known as "Oriental Switzerland". There are flower singers, folk dancers, and various snacks with ethnic characteristics on Swiss Impression Street. We were shopping and eating on this street, and we were so happy that we couldn't express it in words.

Early the next morning, we headed towards Qinghai Lake. On the way, we have to pass Qinghai Lake Bird Island. Everyone suggested going to see birds. "Look!" In the distance, I saw a strip as bright as glass. What was that? It's close, it's close, it turns out to be a flowing river. Going up the river, we came to Bird Island. The sun was so hot that it hurt our faces. Even so, we had no intention of retreating. We wandered around the island for a while and only saw a few birds flying randomly. There were almost no birds on Bird Island, which made us a little disappointed. Why are there no birds on Bird Island? After asking around, it turned out that we came at the wrong time and the birds had not flown back yet, so we had to leave Bird Island in frustration.

After leaving Bird Island, the car drove towards the holy land I was looking forward to. Large tracts of rapeseed flowers appeared in front of us, golden and extremely bright against the blue sky. The sky in the distance is exceptionally blue. I said to my sister: "Look in the distance, the sky is so blue!" My sister laughed at me, that's the lake! I rubbed my eyes and was stunned by the scenery in front of me: the lake in the distance and the blue sky merged into one, which reminded me of Wang Bo's famous line in "The Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng": "The setting clouds and the solitary swans fly together, and the autumn water forms the same color as the sky." At this moment, even this poem cannot fully express the beautiful scenery of water and sky that I saw. The sun shines on the sand by the lake, reflecting yellow light, and the lake, beach and skyEmptiness merges into one. Above the lake, lake gulls spread their wings and hover in the sky, sometimes swooping down and sometimes rushing into the sky. They scream happily, adding a color to the charming scenery on the lake.

We picked up stones, floated water, and pulled lake grass by the lake, forgetting time and worries. When we got tired of playing, we sat quietly on the rocks, blowing the breeze and humming a tune...

Beside Qinghai Lake was a large grassland. We spread out a picnic blanket, set out snacks, cut watermelons, and played poker. As sleepiness gradually increased, we lay down, with the sky as quilt, the ground as bed, and the breeze as air conditioner. Looking up at the sky, clouds like cotton candy are floating. White clouds, pure sky, a faint smell of grass, and a 360-degree view of the grassland are all in front of your eyes. My sister and I were so excited that we couldn't sleep, so we ran to play with the young yaks. They were so arrogant that they refused to eat grass or drink water...

Happiness is always short-lived. The glow gradually appeared in the distance and we were about to go home. Just like that, the Qinghai-Tibet trip came to an end. Some people say that Qinghai Lake is a beautiful jade on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and a shining pearl on the plateau. I deeply agree.
