Qinghai Lake's naked carp are staging an "uprising"! This miracle has me in awe

A spectacular sight unique to Qinghai Lake—✨ Half the river clear water, half shimmering silver, as countless little fish charge upstream against the current 🐟 Like scattered stars dancing across the river's surface 🌊 Watching these palm-sized national second-class protected animals push through the water with their tiny bodies 💦 tails splashing wildly is truly moving 😭 Locals say they migrate over 300 kilometers, navigating shallows and rapids, just to spawn upstream ⚠️ Facing predators along the way, yet still giving their all— This isn't just a school of fish, it's a flowing epic of life! July brings Qinghai Lake's summer heat, but standing riverside witnessing this "upstream journey" suddenly becomes healing 💕 · Baina Hotel (Golmud Salt Lake Square Branch) A gem hotel on Golmud's Bayi East Road! Accommodation, dining, business needs all covered with super convenient transportation~ · Tip: Wear light-colored dresses—every pose becomes cinematic~ This summer, come to Qinghai Lake to witness the tenacity of life ✨
