约古宗列曲向东流入星宿海。                                                                                                                        星宿海长约20公里，大小湖泊犹如繁星罗列。                                                                                            

（以下两张片子虽是在黄河源拍的，但应和星宿海的水泊相似）
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            

                                                                                                                                                                     约古宗列曲流经星宿海，接纳卡日曲后，以三股水流注入鄂陵湖和扎陵湖。                                                     黄河就是在这里汇聚，再从鄂陵湖流出，                                                                                                       开始了它九曲十八弯的迢迢历程。                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  

从这里的一缕缕涓涓细水，汇聚成了一泻千里的滚滚洪流。                                                                            流经了青海 甘肃 宁夏 内蒙古 山西 陕西 四川 河南 山东九个省区后，最终汇入渤海。                                      黄河源头之水清澈无比，是由于流经黄土高原时携带了大量的泥沙 ，才使河水变得浑浊而深黄。                        (下片是此次行走结束时在山东东营黄河入海口拍的，朋友们可做一个直观的对比）             
                                                                                                                                                                    黄河源生态景区的核心之一就是鄂陵湖，                                                                                                      

鄂陵湖位于青海省玛多县，湖面海拔4268米。                                                                                                 藏语意为：青蓝色的长湖。湖水极为清澈 ，                                                                                                  

整个湖面远远望去烟波浩渺，波澜壮阔。
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         鄂陵湖边行走的牦牛


幸运的是我们到达鄂陵湖的当日，                                                                                                                 碧空万里 ，湖水湛蓝，水天一色。                                                                                                                天上洁白的云朵倒映在湖水中，真是美极了。                                                                                                    鄂陵湖水的纯净与清澈让我们为之震撼。                                                                                                       真没想到黄河源头竟是如此的美丽！

                                                                                                                                                                    秋日和煦，暖暖的光洒在湖面上，我坐在湖边尽情地享受着，                                                                        

真想脱掉鞋子走进湖里，但又不忍心打破此刻的宁静。                                                                                    就这样坐着，久久地坐着----
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        久久的不想离去


路上几乎没有来往的车辆，仿佛整个世界只有我们自己。
