On the evening of July 18th, the Sky Mirror Tea Card Salt Lake Scenic Area welcomed its first "Beautiful Sky Road" night tour train, with over 130 Chinese and foreign tourists embarking on a night tour of the Tea Card Salt Lake. They immersed themselves in the unique scenery of the "night sky mirror", injecting new momentum into the night-time cultural and tourism development of the scenic area.

This night tour train was jointly created by the Qinghai-Tibet Railway Group and China CRRC. The train departs from Xining and reaches the Tea Card Salt Lake in 4 hours. Along the way, passengers can enjoy panoramic views of the Gold and Silver Plateau and Qinghai Lake through the train windows. The travel experience is comfortable and exquisite.

After arriving at the Tea Card Station, the train has a direct passage to the scenic area, and tourists can transfer to the Salt Lake Mini Train to reach the core area of the "Sky Mirror". Walking on the white salt flats, tourists can closely experience the unique natural scenery of the salt lake. They stop to take photos and take part in family water play, and capture the beautiful pictures of the highland on the water and sky. At sunset, a "Salt Lake Reflection of Light - Sunset Concert" is held by the lake shore. Tourists can perform on stage and enjoy the romantic time with the highland sunset. After the tour, tourists can also go to the cultural and creative street to select salt sculpture and other characteristic souvenirs, collecting memories unique to the Tea Card Salt Lake. The entire night tour route connects various tourism and entertainment activities, such as scenic view viewing, artistic performances, ethnic interaction, and cultural consumption, forming a complete chain of night-time tourism experience in the Tea Card Salt Lake.

"The Tea Card Salt Lake during the day is magnificent and pure. At night, the sunset, lights, and starry sky, along with the bonfire, create an exceptionally romantic atmosphere." Xie女士， a resident of Xining who is traveling with her children during the summer vacation， highly praised the night tour line. She said that she had previously taken the day tour train from Xining to Tea Card， and the round-trip travel was very convenient. When she learned that the night tour train was launched， she came specially on the weekend， and the overall travel experience was excellent and unforgettable.

As a key cultural and tourism landmark in Qinghai Province， the Tea Card Salt Lake Scenic Area actively implements the relevant deployment of the province's high-quality development of the entire tourism industry， and actively collaborates with railway transportation resources to tap the potential of night-time consumption. Relying on the "Beautiful Sky Road" night tour line， the scenic area connects the "urban travel - railway sightseeing - salt lake tour" tourism chain， and turns the rail transit into a characteristic tourism support， creating a replicable and promotable practical model for the "railway + scenic area" cultural tourism integration development in Qinghai Province.

"The Beautiful Sky Road" night tour project fills the gap in the night-time tourism business of the Tea Card Salt Lake， breaks the single-day sightseeing mode of the scenic area， and innovatively builds a new integrated tourism development model of "train travel + night scene打卡 + ethnic experience + night consumption". The project deeply explores the value of salt lake night-time resources， effectively extends the tourists' stay period， drives the simultaneous growth of transportation， accommodation， and cultural and creative industries， and continuously shines the "night sky mirror" cultural tourism brand of the Tea Card Salt Lake， promoting the quality improvement and upgrade of the local night economy and the entire cultural tourism industry.
