Some say that the meaning of travel lies in encountering a new version of yourself. Therefore, a spontaneous trip always fills one with anticipation. Every time you set off, you hope to discover the wonders of nature, familiar strangers, and the unknown self.
This May Day, my friends and I decided to venture far to Qinghai. There, you’ll find breathtaking scenery, delicious food, and the unique charm brought by its diverse ethnic groups. On every trip, I try to avoid bringing too much — I’m afraid a heavy backpack will tire my legs and dampen my enthusiasm. So this time in Qinghai, we only packed some clothes, food, and essentials. We even left our cameras behind, each of us carrying just a smartphone installed with QQ Zone Watermark Camera. Later, we all agreed: this was destined to be an unforgettable experience.
Nothing compares to Qinghai Lake
If you visit Qinghai but skip Qinghai Lake, you’ll feel too embarrassed to talk about the trip later. There’s water all over the world — but what makes Qinghai Lake so beautiful? You’ll know the moment you see it. I think the most stunning view of Qinghai Lake comes even before you reach the official scenic area. I believe many who have been there would agree.


After staying overnight in Xilin, we began our journey back. Although the holiday felt a bit too short, this trip was definitely worth it. Living in big cities for too long, we often find ourselves facing nothing but walls, locking away our true selves and the so-called vibrancy of life. Just bring along simple belongings and the QQ Zone Watermark Camera, and set off on a casual trip. Placing yourself in unfamiliar surroundings can often shift your mood and broaden your perspective. By the time we returned to our busy lives, we had unknowingly gained a bit more inspiration, shed some burdens, and discovered parts of ourselves we hadn’t known before. That’s the greatest reward of travel.
