The Yadan Water Scenic Area is located in the northwest of the Qaidam Basin in Qinghai. Its characteristics are mainly reflected in natural landscapes, ecological environment, experience activities and other aspects. The following is a detailed introduction: Unique geological landscape - Yadan landform on the water: It is the only Yadan landform on the water in the world. It is formed by wind erosion. It was formed by the rising of the lake water and submerged part of the Yadan group. Wind-eroded mounds of various shapes stand in the blue lake, such as "sea fleet" and "alien castle", which are spectacular and fantastic.   - Colorful lake water: In the summer flood season, the lake water presents bright blue or green, which contrasts with the golden Yadan landform to form a colorful picture. Rich ecological environment - Water bird habitat: In spring and autumn, flocks of water birds and wild ducks play and chase in the lake, forming a spectacular scene of "hundred birds and thousands of islands lake", adding vitality to the desolate Gobi. - Fragile ecosystem: The scenic area is located in the Gobi Desert, and the ecosystem is relatively fragile, forming a unique flora and fauna that adapt to the arid environment, such as camels and hares. Diverse experience activities - Outdoor adventure: National Highway 315 and 215 intersect here, which is an ideal outdoor off-road place. Visitors can drive off-road vehicles or ride bicycles for adventure activities. - Water entertainment: There is a dock in the scenic area, providing water entertainment projects such as cruise ships and speedboats, allowing tourists to watch the Yadan landform from the water. - Starry sky camping: Away from urban light pollution, the starry sky is bright at night. The scenic area has a camping area where tourists can camp and enjoy the starry sky. Excellent photography venue - Sunrise and sunset: At sunrise and sunset, the sun covers the Yadan group with gold or red, and the lake reflects the color of the sky, forming a dreamy picture of "water and sky in one color", which is one of the best places to shoot sunrise and sunset. - Starry night view: The combination of the desert and the starry sky at night is very shocking, suitable for taking photos of the starry sky and recording the Yadan landform under the bright starry sky. Characteristic cultural buildings - Fusion architecture: The main building of the scenic area adopts a shuttle-shaped appearance, a large wave-shaped roof, and a yellow sand finish on the facade, which is organically integrated with the surrounding Yadan. - Ethnic facilities: The infrastructure construction is based on the local ethnic architectural style, and single-style buildings in ethnic styles such as Tibetan and Mongolian are set up to allow tourists to experience ethnic customs.

Life revelation in the desert: The beauty of Yadan on the water is a masterpiece of nature and time, and also a warning of the fragility of the environment. Here, humans are as small as sand, but they can measure the grandeur of nature through their lenses and footsteps. If you have the opportunity, you might as well live in a glass house under the starry sky, and let the sound of the desert wind and the whisper of the Milky Way become unforgettable memories of this life.

Fall asleep under the stars and encounter the most dreamy water-covered yardang in Northwest China. The most breathtaking experience of my trip to Golmud was the magical night at the Usut Water-covered Yardang. Located at No. 2 Xitai, Da Qaidam Administrative Committee, Haixi, the Dreamy Starry Sky Luxury Resort Hotel is a true gem bestowed upon the Gobi Desert. 💎 Standing amidst the Yadan landforms, watch the sunset paint the bizarre mounds golden as the sky gradually illuminates with stars. ✨The hotel's unique dome design allows you to gaze up at the Milky Way from your bed – the experience is truly indescribable. During the day, explore the surrounding spectacular Yadans by car and marvel at nature's uncanny handiwork. Return to the hotel in the evening for authentic Northwest cuisine at the popular restaurant "Yardang Night." Tender hand-pulled lamb paired with local yogurt is a truly unforgettable experience. TIPS: 1. The best viewing time is two hours before and after sunset, when the light is at its peak. 2. The temperature difference between morning and evening is significant, so remember to bring a windproof jacket. 3. Book a starry sky room in advance; it's very popular during peak season. #Northwest Grand Loop #QinghaiTravel #Starry Sky Hotel #Water Yadan #Self-Drive Guide
