Introduction

- The Daotang River originates from the western side of the Sun and Moon Mountains and is a seasonal river that mainly relies on snow and rainwater. It is the shortest river in the Qinghai Lake system. - Since ancient times, it has been an important transportation hub for entering the southern Qinghai-Tibet grazing area, known as the "gate of the Tibetan area" and the "throat of entering Tibet." - The river meanders and twists, with clear water and visible bottom, like a bright silk floating lightly on the grassland, intoxicating people. - Tourists can ride horses here, visit the Tibetan folk culture exhibition area, appreciate the Eastern God Dog Snowfield Tibetan Mastiff, or try on ethnic costumes to leave beautiful photos.
