Erlangjian

　　Introduction    Erlangjian is also known as "Seaweed," and Tibetans call it "Sea Tiger." Located on the southeastern shore of Qinghai Lake, it is a narrow strip of land about a hundred steps wide and roughly 25 kilometers long, extending northward into the lake and resembling a long sword at its tip. Ancient texts recorded: “A bank on the southern shore, only a hundred steps wide, stretches dozens of miles northward straight into the heart of the lake and disappears, known as Seaweed.”

　　    Due to its unique geographical location that stretches deep into Qinghai Lake, its ecologically rich natural resources including grasslands, beaches, and wildlife, as well as its folk cultural activities, Erlangjian has become a shining pearl in the Qinghai Lake tourist area. Currently, Erlangjian features an observation zone composed of a bird-watching platform, a deer-viewing garden, a sea-viewing bridge, and a sea-viewing pavilion; a leisure zone consisting of a dock square and the “Four Harmonious Friends” 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 Erlangjian, where you can stay for 10 minutes before returning.
