At my urging, I finally stayed on the edge of Qinghai Lake for two days. On this day, An Xiang flew to pick up the car, because he found out through positioning that the original location where we parked was actually behind the ridge not far away, and we entered the tomb from that ridge until we reached the edge of Qinghai Lake. While An Xiangfei and Mu Xiu went to pick up the car, they went to the town not far from Qinghai Lake to buy some food, drinking water and tents, after all, we still have to plan to enjoy the unique scenery of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau here.

When the sun was about to set, accompanied by the sound of the car chuanxi, An Xiangfei and Mu Xiu returned to the hillside with various things, and under my strong command, they began to set up their tents. At this time, I deeply felt the advantages of being a woman, looking at the two people who were immersed in work, my mood was unusually comfortable, holding this snack in my hand, sitting on a big stone with residual heat, watching the sun about to set in the distance. The glow of the sky was reflected on the surface of the lake, and a gust of wind blew through the reeds on the edge of the lake, and a flock of unknown birds suddenly became noisy.

Closing my eyes and facing the breeze blowing from the lake, I had never felt more comfortable than before, and I forgot the troubles and fatigue that I had been working for a long time. In the blue sky, several geese flew in formation under the white clouds and flew to the top of the snow-capped mountains that were faintly visible in the distance. Night soon fell, and a bright moon ran out of the clouds before the glow of the western sky had yet to dissipate.

At this time, a puff of green smoke came out of the earthen stove dug by An Xiangfei and Mu Xiu, and it rose on the vast prairie. Although it was accompanied by a few coughs choking on thick smoke, it didn't seem to affect the unique artistic conception and beauty.

I couldn't help but stand up and look into the distance, and saw a white spot the size of a grain of rice on the prairie in the distance, which An Xiangfei said was a yurt grazing on the grassland. But I didn't see the herd, the sheep, or the horses. Because in my heart, I think it's an unknown beauty. Turn around and look at the mysterious and beautiful Qinghai Lake, with the arrival of night, the moon began to shine dimly, and the sparkling lake surface flashed the bright moon in the sky from time to time. A thin layer of mist gradually rose on the lake, as light as a wisp of green smoke in the afternoon.

I have to say that Qinghai Lake at night has faded away from the beauty and youth of the day, and in this night, especially under the cover of the clear moon, through the faint mist, it reveals a special mystery. I stared blankly at the surface of the lake, and my mind was already imagining whether a fairy or a desolate woman would appear on the surface of the lake through the thick fog.

"It's time to eat, Liangxi." An Xiangfei's voice instantly broke my thoughts like an uninvited guest, making me want to be angry again, but there is no reason to be angry.

Sit around the fire and eat some delicious game. Looking at the two men in front of me who were made black because of their cooking life, I couldn't help but laugh.

"I don't have a conscience, and I don't help us all afternoon." An Xiangfei said angrily.

"Cut, I'm looking at the view, and I won't be able to do it." I said with a disdainful shrug of disdain.

"There's something to see about Qinghai Lake, but according to legend, there are a lot of stories here = there are many stories." An Xiangfei said.

As soon as I heard the story, I immediately became interested, and said coquettishly to An Xiangfei: "What a story, hurry up and tell one." At this time, Mu Xiu also seemed to be interested and said, "You can just talk about one." Seeing that he couldn't get away, An Xiangfei coughed a few times, cleared his throat and began to talk about the legend of Qinghai Lake.

As far as I know, Qinghai Lake, with an area of 4,583 square kilometers, is vast and mysterious, and is a huge treasure mirror given by nature to the Qinghai Plateau......

In ancient times, Qinghai Lake was called "West Sea", also known as "Fresh Water" or "Fresh Sea". In Tibetan, it is called "Tsowenbu", which means "blue lake"; The Mongolian language calls it "Kukunor", which means "blue sea". It is the largest inland lake in China and the largest saltwater lake in China, and it is more than twice the size of the famous Taihu Lake. The surface of the lake is long from east to west, narrow from north to south, and slightly oval. At first glance, it looks like a fat poplar leaf. There is a saying among the people of Qinghai: "Carrying fried noodles around the lake, running down a good horse and a dead deer."

Qinghai Lake is surrounded by four towering mountains, and when you look around, it is like four high natural barriers, which tightly surround Qinghai Lake. From the bottom of the mountain to the lakeside, it is a vast and flat, boundless grassland for thousands of miles, and the vast and blue waves of Qinghai Lake, like a huge jade jade plate embedded between the mountains and grasslands, constitute a magnificent scenery and beautiful scenery of mountains, lakes and grasslands.

The scenery of Qinghai Lake is very different in different seasons. In summer and autumn, the mountains and rivers on the shore of Qinghai Lake are beautiful, the vast undulating grassland is like a thick green velvet blanket, countless cattle, sheep and horses are like colorful mottled pearls scattered all over the grassland, the large neat and picturesque farmland by the lake is rolling, the cauliflower is golden, the blue waves are vast, the water and sky are the same color of Qinghai Lake, like a glass of agar gently rippling. When the cold winter comes, Qinghai Lake is frozen and jade, covered in silver, like a huge treasure mirror, shining in the sun, radiating dazzling brilliance all day long.

Haixin Mountain and Bird Island in Qinghai Lake are both tourist attractions. Haixin Mountain, also known as Longju Island, is rocky and beautiful on the island, and is famous for producing dragon foals since ancient times.

I saw An Xiangfei think for a while, then glanced at the lake covered by the thick fog, turned around, dialed the fire, and added a few firewood to it before saying leisurely: "Qinghai Lake was called "West Sea" in ancient times, also known as "fresh water" or "fresh sea". In Mongolian, it is called "Kukunor", and in Tibetan, it is called "Cuowenbo", which means "blue sea" and "blue ocean". Because the area around Qinghai Lake belonged to the pastureland of Beiheqiang earlier, it was also called "Beiheqiang Sea", and some people in the Han Dynasty also called it "Xianhai". It was renamed "Qinghai" from the Northern Wei Dynasty.

As early as before the Han Dynasty, the Qiang people were nomadic here, and it was renamed "Qinghai" from the Northern Wei Dynasty. At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang set up Xihai County in the east of the lake to build a city and defend it; From the late Northern and Southern Dynasties to the early Tang Dynasty, it became the center of the activities of the Tuyuhun Kingdom; In the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty and Tubo fought countless battles here, with countless casualties, and the poet Du Fu had "You don't see the head of Qinghai, and no one collects the white bones in ancient times." The new ghost is annoyed and the old ghost is crying, and the sky is cloudy and rainy, and the wet voice is chirping. The verses describe the fierceness of the war at that time; Bingtu, the son of the Mongolian leader of the Ming Dynasty, built a Buddhist temple around the lake, and the Ming court gave the name "Yanghua Temple"; The Qing Dynasty built Chahan City (also known as Baichengzi) in the Qinghai Lake area, and gathered the Mongolian and Tibetan princes to worship the Haimeng League every year, and Qinghai Lake became famous since then.
