⚠️ Don’t fall for ‘budget all-inclusive tours’: During this peak season, unlicensed vehicles have infiltrated group tours, and mandatory shopping stops have doubled;
⚠️ Never skip oxygen support when visiting Qilian or Da Qaidam: At elevations above 3,000 m, elderly travelers and children face heightened altitude sickness risk—reputable tours provide portable oxygen and on-site medical staff;

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Q: Is June the best time to travel the Qinghai-Gansu Grand Loop?
A: Yes! Comfortable climate, richly layered scenery, and moderate tourist density make it the top-rated season of the year.
- Q: How do I get there? Is self-driving or joining a tour recommended?
A: First-timers, travelers concerned about altitude sickness, or those with limited time are strongly advised to join a guided group tour (includes airport transfers in Xining and full SUV fleet). For self-driving, advance vehicle registration is required, along with thorough tire pressure checks and spare tire preparation—mobile signal is weak on certain sections of G109.

A: Prioritize UV protection and prepare for significant day-night temperature fluctuations; glass-bottled water is prohibited inside salt lakes; respect Tibetan religious customs (e.g., walk clockwise around mani piles and never step on prayer flags).
