Before traveling to Qinghai, many people yearned for the vast Gobi and the majestic snow-capped mountains in the northwest, and wanted to experience the lofty and distant It is vast, but after arriving in Qinghai, you are often amazed by the dotted lakes there. Not to mention the vast Qinghai Lake, the magnificent Emerald Lake, the tea card in the sky, and the Yadan on the water is even more shocking and unforgettable.

Water Yadan, also known as Wusute Water Yadan, is a unique water Yadan in the world. It is located in the northwest of Qaidam Basin in Qinghai. It is the largest and most spectacular Yadan community in the world, with an area of more than 20,000 square kilometers, and the Yadan on Usute Water is the most essential part of it.

To be precise, Wusute Yadan belongs to the Yadan group of the Eight Immortals of the South. The Yadan mounds in this area are generally between 10 and 25 meters high, and the highest is about 50 meters. Yadan has a variety of shapes and is scattered in lakes. It is the only water Yadan landscape found in the world.

Shui Yadan is easy to find, it is the famous Internet celebrity road – 315 (Xining, Qinghai to Xinjiang Kizilsu Kirgiz Autonomous Prefecture Turgate) National Road The lake and Xitai Jinai Lake are not far away and can be visited together.

We went to Yadan on the water during the “Three River Sources, Mysterious Kunlun” gathering activities in Golmud. It is almost a 4-hour drive from downtown Golmud, so the most convenient way is to drive or rent a car. When our car is along 315 After the national highway passed the U-shaped Internet celebrity highway, the scenery on both sides of the road gradually rose and fell from the endless Gobi desert, and some broken walls and mounds appeared in front of us.

In the beginning, it was a sparse and scattered mound, and as we continued to move forward, these mounds of various shapes and expressions became denser and denser, and then they became contiguous groups. , but the magic of nature has turned this place into a magnificent geological wonder. This is the unique Yadan in the Qaidam Basin.landform group.

After entering Yadan on the water, taking the scenic sightseeing bus will take us to several fixed scenic spots. Since we have a long way to go (we have to go back to Golmud, a round-trip 8-hour drive), we went directly to the most essential spots. In part, the drone was raised at the fastest speed to take aerial photos of this unique natural wonder in the world.

Viewing on the flat ground, these mounds standing in the lake water are in different poses, they are like castles, like camels, or like tigers and leopards, or run, or sit and lie down, three-point image, seven-point imagination, the more you look, the more they look like, Here we can imagine as much as we like, it seems that with the activity of our thoughts, these mounds standing on the lake are also given life by us, and immediately become vivid.

Viewing on the drone, the water Yadan has become more three-dimensional, each of which is big or small, tall or short, and each mound is an island. Looking around, the islands are dotted with each other, which is bigger than Qiandao Lake in Zhejiang. It’s even more beautiful, and these islands seem to be facing the same direction. If you look closely, they are like ten thousand ships going out to sea, and like ten thousand horses galloping, it is really breathtaking.

The most shocking thing is the green lake in Wusut. From a distance, it looks like an emerald embedded in the desert hills. We must know that in this vast Gobi, a bay of clear water suddenly appears. , which makes people directly suspect that they are dazzled, giving people a very unreal feeling. The lake water of Wusute has different colors due to different shades. Some places are dark blue, and some places are light blue. When viewed from the air, it even looks like a small island in Southeast Asia, so that you can travel together. Friends joked that this is the Maldives Qinghai branch.

It is understood that there was originally no lake here. Until one year, a huge flash flood broke out on the Kunlun Mountains, and the Nalingele River, which originated in the Kunlun Mountains, was forced to divert and submerged this area. Water Yadan landform. It is quite amazing that there are still flocks of water birds and wild ducks in the lake, either soaring in the blue sky, or playing in the lake water reflected by the shimmering waves, so it is also nicknamed “Hundred Birds Qiandao Lake” by tourists.
