Best Time to Qinghai

Qinghai has rolling grasslands, the vast Qaidam Basin, the endless sea of rapeseed, crystal-like Qinghai Lake, and mysterious Tea-horse Ancient Road. But when is the best time to travel to Qinghai is a common question for tourists and travel operators.
 

In general, from May to October is the best time to travel to Qinghai; among them, Qinghai is considered to be a good summer resort with its continental plateau climate. The climate is dry in spring and autumn. In summer, the weather is cool and pleasant, the average daily temperature is different between day and night, and the ultraviolet rays are intense, so you need to bring some sunscreen products. Winter is relatively cold; the average minimum temperature can reach -20 ℃. Therefore, it is necessary to bring several warm garments on your trip to deal with the changeable weather.
