Menyuan area
The hundreds of miles of canola flower sea in Menyuan, Qinghai is a rare outdoor artistic wonder. In July, when the canola flowers bloom along the hundred miles of river, being in the flower sea, bathing in the fragrance, the mood is as buoyant as the wind. The range of canola flower cultivation here stretches from the Qing Stone Mouth on the west bank of Haomen River to the Yulong Beach on the east bank of Datong River, from the Lenglong Ridge on the border with Gansu Province to the towering Daban Mountains in the south, spanning tens of kilometers.
"Chaka" is Tibetan, which means salt lake. Unlike other salt lakes, Chaka Salt Lake is embedded in the snowy mountain grasslands, not in the Gobi Desert. It is called the "Mirror of the Sky" by travelers in China. Chaka Salt Lake is famous in Qinghai, along with Tashilhunpo Monastery, Qinghai Lake, and Menda Tianchi. It is considered one of the "Four Great Sights of Qinghai" and one of the "55 Must-Visit Places in a Lifetime" by National Geographic Traveler magazine.

Butter flowers, murals, and pile embroidery are renowned as the "three treasures of Tashilhunpo Monastery art." The annual Buddhist events, "Four Great Dharma Assemblies," held here are the focal point of Tibetan Buddhism activities in northwest China. Both the Ming and Qing dynasties highly respected the religious status of Tashilhunpo Monastery. The Ming dynasty conferred titles on the high-ranking religious figures within the monastery on multiple occasions. Emperor Kangxi of the Qing dynasty bestowed the plaque of "Jing Shang Jin Liang" (Pureness Supports the Beam) and Emperor Qianlong bestowed the title "Fan Zong Si" (Brahma Monastery) and the plaque of "Fan Jiao Fa Zhuang" (Banner of Brahmanism).
