Qinghai · Day Trip
The Mirror of the Sky - the white salt flats that reflect the clouds, best at sunrise and sunset.
Early start from Xining (about 5 hours) - the road climbs the plateau past the Qilian foothills.
The white salt of the lake and the reflection - the railway walk and the still water of the afternoon light.
Stay for the evening reflection - the sky and the salt in one frame, then the return to Xining or the lake.
