Golden and Silver Beach Scenic Area

　　The Qinghai Golden and Silver Beach Scenic Area is situated in Haiyan County, Qinghai Province. To the west, it neighbors Qinghai Lake near Tongbao Mountain, while the north and east are flanked by high, rugged mountains, and to the south, it meets the triangular city area of Haiyan County. Spanning across a vast grassland of 1,100 square kilometers, the area is home to over 300,000 head of cattle and sheep, making it a typical pastoral region.

　　The sky here is an intoxicating blue; the clouds, delightfully white; the mountains, stunningly picturesque—even the air is sweet and refreshing. Flocks of sheep drift like floating clouds, while brown and black yaks roam sporadically among the green grass and wildflowers. From time to time, Tibetan herders dressed in traditional attire can be seen leisurely riding horses across the plains. The classic song "In That Place Wholly Faraway," composed by the “King of Western Songs” Wang Luobin, originated here on the Golden and Silver Beach. It spread from Qinghai throughout China and gained immense popularity both at home and abroad.
