[2024 Golmud Attraction] Travel Guide for Wu Su Te (Water) Yadan Geological Park (Updated Nov)

Why is such a cheap and amazing place not visited by many people?

On the vast Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, there is a miracle carefully carved by nature - the Ussu Water Yardang. Not only is it China's first and only water yardang landform scenic area, but it is also a holy land for photography enthusiasts. When the sun shines through the clouds, the spectacular and peculiar landforms seem to awaken the ancient memories that have been dormant, leaving people in awe. Attraction Introduction Ussu Water Yardang is located in Delingha City, Haixi Mongolian and Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province, adjacent to the beautiful Tosu Lake. The entire area is composed of thousands of islands of different sizes and shapes, which quietly float among the rippling waves, forming a series of breathtaking pictures. Whenever the morning mist or the setting sun surrounds these islands, they are adorned with golden coats, showing a different kind of beauty in the interplay of light and shadow. Itinerary Recommendation Day 1: After arriving in Xining, rent a car and drive to Delingha (approximately 4 hours). On the way, you can visit Chaka Salt Lake. Day 2: Depart from Delingha in the morning and head to Ussu Water Yardang (approximately 1.5 hours). After arriving, visit the visitor center to learn about the relevant background information, and then start exploring this magical land on foot. It is recommended to walk along the designated route and enjoy the beautiful scenery from different angles along the way. Day 3: If time permits, you can consider participating in the local hot air balloon experience and have a bird's-eye view of the entire yardang landform group; or choose a boat tour of the lake and get up close to the "isolated islands" scattered on the water. Then return to Xining to end the journey. Food Recommendation Of course, you can't miss the authentic Northwest cuisine on your journey! Mutton stew and hand-pulled meat are classic delicacies worth trying. In addition, you can find many Tibetan restaurants in Delingha City, where you can taste special snacks such as Zanba and butter tea. Remember to drink plenty of water to stay hydrated! Transportation Guide Self-driving is one of the most convenient ways to get there, with beautiful scenery along the way, suitable for stopping and taking pictures. If you choose public transportation, you need to take a long-distance bus to Delingha City first, and then transfer to a local taxi or chartered car to reach your destination. For friends who like to travel freely, you can also book a one-day tour package on major travel platforms, including round-trip transfers and tour guide explanations, which is both convenient and labor-saving. This is not just a simple trip, but more like a dialogue between the soul and nature. Standing on such a land that has not been polluted by the world, you may find a new understanding of life. Come on, let's walk into Ussu Water Yardang together and start an unforgettable spiritual journey!

Qinghai-Gansu Trip (Part 5): Water Yardang & U-shaped Road.

Yesterday's itinerary was quite tiring, so today we adjusted the plan and took a half-day break. During the afternoon nap, I saw a travel guide that said Dongtai Jiner Lake is currently not worth visiting, so in the afternoon, we only went to the Ussu Special Water Yardang Landform and U-shaped Road. Driving on National Highway 315, the Yardang landforms along the way reminded me of the Devil City in Karamay, Xinjiang. The bizarre landforms brought a different feeling. Due to safety concerns, fences have been erected on both sides of the U-shaped road, and parking for photos is no longer allowed. We stopped briefly and took a quick photo. Compared to the Gannan trip, the altitude sickness this time was much milder, only a slight headache. However, my cold seems to be getting worse. The beauty of the scenery couldn't offset the discomfort in my body. In my opinion, the Water Yardang landform is more visually appealing from an aerial perspective, especially the "Eye of Yardang". As dusk approached, we didn't wait for the sunset. Instead, strong winds arose, darkening the sky and filling it with dust. Compared to yesterday's Emerald Lake, this place left me with a slight regret. This is the sky of Qinghai, unpredictable. Isn't life the same? There's always something to regret!

Water Yadan, also known as Wusute Yadan Geological Park, is located in Xitai District, Dachaidan Administrative Committee, Haixi Prefecture, Qinghai Province.

The area of this yadan community is about 21,000 square kilometers, and the height of the earth mound is between 10-25 meters, up to 50 meters. It is called "Lake of Thousands of Birds and Thousands of Islands" by the locals, because every spring and autumn, groups of water birds and wild ducks 🦆 will play and chase here 🌊. "Yadan" is Uighur, meaning "a small hill with steep walls", also known as "wind erosion forest", which is a strange wind erosion landform.

Camel strolling in Wusute (Water) Yardang, experiencing a different kind of scenery

💚In the vast expanse of Wusute (Water) Yardang, I mounted the back of a camel and began an intimate encounter with the desert. A gentle breeze blew, and the camel walked steadily, taking me deep into this magical land. It felt as if I had traveled back to the ancient Silk Road, with the melodious sound of camel bells echoing in my ears. The Yardang landforms, under the sunlight, displayed a dazzling array of colors—red like fire, yellow like gold, contrasting beautifully with the blue sky and white clouds. The silhouette of the camel, in this magnificent scenery, appeared particularly small yet full of resilience and strength. The camel carried me forward slowly, with clear lake water beneath, reflecting the sky and the beautiful Yardang. I couldn't help but marvel at the craftsmanship of nature, capable of creating such a wonderful landscape. As the sun set, the afterglow cast a golden hue on the water Yardang, like a golden painting. Sitting on the camel, I quietly admired this beautiful moment, filled with emotion and awe. This experience of riding a camel deep into the water Yardang gave me a deeper understanding and insight into nature. It made me realize that there are still many unknown beautiful sceneries in this world waiting for us to explore.

Wusute Water Yadan

The Water Yadan is composed of Yadan landforms and the surface of Yake Lake, belonging to the largest Yadan landform group - the South Baxian Yadan landform group. In this area, the Yadan mounds are 10 - 25 meters high, with the tallest reaching up to 50 meters. They present a rich and varied morphology, which is a rare sight in the world for large and medium-sized, dense, and uniquely shaped Yadan landform landscapes. The water source of Yake Lake comes from the glacial snow mountains above the Kunlun Mountains to the west. The lake has a high salt content, and the entire lake area offers a unique scenery, resembling a mirror of the sky; the water here is slightly salty, with salt-tolerant plants in the shallow waters by the shore. Wild ducks and water birds often forage and dwell here, especially during the summer and autumn seasons, when thousands of wild ducks and various water birds gather, hence the local name Yake Lake. The Yadan and Yake Lake blend together, with the salt lake, Yadan, and blue sky reflecting each other, creating a spectacular water world. Some resemble sea turtles playing in the water, ingots presented to guests, immortals pointing the way, and fleets on the sea, etc., which tourists vividly describe as 'Lake of Hundreds of Birds and Thousands of Islands.' It is also the only known underwater Yadan landform area on Earth to date. In the Water Yadan area in the center of the Qaidam, the climate is variable and the scenery is endless. Sometimes the sky is blue with white clouds, the water clear and the grass green; sometimes dark clouds roll, sand rises and rain falls; at times, clouds part to reveal rainbows, and the slanting sun warms the shore; at other times, the setting sun and evening glow reflect red on the water and sky. It is said that at night, the Water Yadan is tranquil, with a vast sky, as if merging into the universe, conversing with the firmament. When the wind blows through the Yadan, it sounds like ghosts crying and wolves howling, hence it was once also known as 'Devil City.'

It's hard to describe the feeling when, after driving for hours and crossing hundreds of kilometers, a boundless expanse of azure sea suddenly appears before your eyes~ 'Yadan' is a Uighur word, meaning 'a small hill with steep walls,' also known as 'wind erosion forest,' which is a unique type of wind erosion landform. Yadan landforms are relatively common in the Northwest, but the Water Yadan is truly a unique existence, with countless large and small Yadan scattered on the blue lake surface like warships in the sea.

Urho Water Yadan - The lost pearl in the Gobi Desert

Driving for more than two hours along the G315 National Road from Dachaidan Town, passing through Dongtaijinaer Lake, you will arrive at the Water Yadan. There was no water here originally, but due to a flash flood, the floodwater stayed in this area, also known as Duck Lake, forming this unique water Yadan landscape in the world. The water of the Water Yadan comes from the Taijinaer River. The magical Yadan landscape and the deep blue lake water complement each other, and you can't help but feel the beauty of nature when you are in it. Travel tips ✅Ticket price: 120 yuan (60 yuan for the ticket + 60 yuan for the sightseeing electric car). 🚩Inside entertainment: The development inside the scenic area is also quite mature, with four stations: Sea View Platform, Penglai Fairy Island, West Sea Fleet, and Golden Beach. It takes about fifteen minutes to enter the Sea View Platform from the entrance of the scenic area, and the wind on the way is very strong. There are also many entertainment projects inside the scenic area, such as camel riding, beach off-road, speed boats, etc. 📍About the Eye of Yadan: The Eye of Yadan is still inside the scenic area. To get there, you need to take a beach off-road vehicle for about 150 yuan per person. Personally, I suggest that if the weather is not good, it is not worth going. It's not as good as it looks online. 🏠Accommodation: There is a good hotel inside the scenic area, which is the Urho Yadan Hotel. You can also stay in Dachaidan Town, but the room price is very high during the peak season, and rooms are hard to find, so you need to book early. ⌚️Play time: Half a day is enough, and 2 hours is also possible if you are fast.

Water Yadan

Geographical location: The Water Yadan landform group is located in the Xitai area of Dachaidan Executive Committee, Haixi Prefecture, Qinghai Province, close to the 315 national highway line. It is an important node in the circular tourism of Xining-Qinghai Lake-Chaka Salt Lake-Water Yadan-Dunhuang-Jiayuguan-Zhangye, with important traffic and tourism location advantages. Landform features: The formation of the Water Yadan landform group is a magnificent landscape formed by the lake water under the long-term desert and Gobi weathering conditions. Because the terrain here is relatively low, equivalent to the lake center, under the dual effects of atmospheric thermal effects and the crustal movement of the Qaidam Basin, the lake water from places like Qinghai Lake flows into this Yadan through the underground, forming a spectacular Water Yadan. Natural landscape: The Water Yadan Scenic Area is famous for its unique Yadan landform, rippling lake water, blue sky and white clouds, and charming sunset scenery. Here, tourists can feel the perfect combination of desert and lake, as well as the magic and magnificence of nature.
