青海
Qinghai
省 · Province
青海，三江之源，中华水塔。长江、黄河、澜沧江均发源于此——这里是中国的水源心脏。青海湖的万顷碧波与环湖千亩油菜花海、茶卡盐湖的天空之镜、塔尔寺的酥油花与堆绣——高原上的纯粹之美需要慢下来体会。可可西里的藏羚羊、祁连山草原的牧歌——青海的美，有一种孤绝与辽阔并存的诗意。Qinghai, source of three great rivers, China's water tower. The Yangtze, Yellow, and Lancang (Mekong) Rivers all begin here — this is China's hydrological heart. Qinghai Lake's boundless blue encircled by a thousand acres of rapeseed blooms, Chaka Salt Lake's mirror of the sky, Ta'er Temple's butter sculptures and appliqué — the pure beauty of the high plateau demands a slower pace. Tibetan antelope on the Hoh Xil, pastoral songs on the Qilian grasslands — Qinghai's beauty holds a poetry where isolation and vastness coexist.
