Erlang Sword
Introduction: Erlang Sword, also known as "Seaweed," is referred to as "Sea Tiger" by the Tibetans. Located on the southeastern shore of Qinghai Lake, it is a narrow strip of land about a hundred steps wide and 25 kilometers long, extending northward into the lake. Its shape at the start resembles a long sword. Ancient texts once recorded: “A bank on the southern shore, only a hundred steps wide, extends dozens of li northward, heading straight into the depths of the sea and disappearing, named Seaweed.”
Owing to its unique geographical location that stretches deep into Qinghai Lake, as well as its ecological and natural resources such as grasslands, beaches, and wildlife, along with its rich folk cultural activities, Erlang Sword has become a shining jewel in the Qinghai Lake tourist area. Currently, Erlang Sword features an observation zone composed of a bird-watching platform, deer-viewing garden, sea-viewing bridge, and sea-viewing pavilion; a leisure zone consisting of a dock square and the “Four Auspicious Beings” sculpture; and a water recreation zone offering activities such as jet skiing and self-drive yachts. Additionally, beach volleyball, soccer, and other sports activities will be available along the lakeshore. Transportation: A 50-yuan boat ride from Qinghai Lake can take you to Erlang Sword, where you can stay for 10 minutes before returning.
