Cold lake Martian immigrants

When it comes to Qinghai, most people think of the beautiful scenery such as Qinghai Lake and Chaka Salt Lake.

However, as a part of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Qinghai is much more wonderful. In the northwest of Qinghai, there is such a magical place.

Qinghai meijing

There are so many beautiful things that one can hardly absorb them all.

Located in the northern part of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, it has been "guarded" by a group of mountains with an altitude of 4,000-5,000 meters for millions of years. Together with Tarim Basin and Junggar Basin, it is called the three inland basins in China, namely Qaidam Basin.

People often say that the Qaidam Basin is a "cornucopia".

He also said that this is the place "most like Mars" on earth.

It is vast, arid, desolate, silent and desolate.

Gorgeous, low-key, wild and full of connotation,

Can satisfy your imagination of aliens.

Ya Dan on Water —— The only combination of water and Ya Dan in the world.

With a wave of earth's hand,

Raising the lake flooded the jagged Ya Dan Group,

Form a unique water Ya Dan.

There are many Ya Dan in China, which is not uncommon in the northwest.

But Ya Dan on the water is rare.

Ya Dan, the capital of the devil,

Surrounded by a layer of blue water,

Very beautiful and refreshing.

On the blue lake,

Large and small wind erosion mounds "break through the ground",

The height varies from a few meters to more than one hundred meters.

Long ridges, whale backs, columns and walls are ever-changing and extremely magnificent.

Like a piece of "Wang Yang" appearing out of thin air in the endless desert,

It stands on this Wang Yang, magical and mysterious.

Blue lake, wonderful Ya Dan landform,

The ducks in the sky are singing geese, and the water is sparkling.

The early morning sunshine, orange glow, sand dunes and lakes constitute a beautiful and moving picture.

Shooting Ya Dan on water,

The golden Ya Dan is sparkling and beautiful.

Mars camp-Mars is far away, but Chaidamu is very close.

It takes 88 kilometers by car to enter the Mars camp.

Through various Ya Dan landforms,

Then go to the Mars camp in the center,

The landform of Ya Dan in Aobaoliang where the base is located,

Because it is barren, arid and uninhabited,

The unique terrain is called "the most unlike place on earth".

Because it is similar to the terrain of Mars,

This also makes it "the most Mars-like place on earth".

Seen from a distance,

A huge Ya Dan landscape portrait stands like a sculpture.

The Gobi desert here is desolate and boundless.

Scenes that were once only seen in movies,

Camp Mars is turning the dream of emigrating to Mars into reality.

People walk through it,

It's like being in the Martian zone, strange and lonely.

Here,

The Mars Camp is designed as a completely closed Mars capsule.

Can provide a complete "Mars landing" experience.

Science fiction writer Liu once said:

"When I first went to Cold Lake,

There is no doubt that you are really in a Martian environment. "

Mars No.1 Highway-Open the Door of Mars

To reach the Mars camp, you need to cross the Mars Highway 1.

The starting point of the highway is between 953km and 954km on G3 15 National Highway.

The destination is the fifth oil base of Lenghu,

Mars Highway 1 88km long.

Also known as the best Ya Dan Avenue in Qaidam Basin.

There is no signal on Mars Highway 1 all the way.

Completely divorced from reality,

You can't really receive the signal until you get to the Mars camp.

After driving for several kilometers, Ya Dan Group began to appear on the ground.

With the deepening, the development of Ya Dan is becoming more and more mature.

No longer some kind of Ya Dan,

But many types of Ya Dan coexist,

Ya Dan with a flat-topped square mountain shape, serrated Ya Dan,

Cape Cone Chuyadan, Lighthouse Ya Dan …

Dizzy,

This indicates that Ya Dan Group has entered the core part of the expressway.

Just remember,

Mars 1 road conditions are not particularly good.

Try driving a four-wheel drive car,

The chassis must be very high,

Otherwise, I'm afraid it's difficult to make it.

If you want to travel across Mars on Earth,

How could this road be missing?

O 'Brien —— The Edge of No Man's Land

People only know the name of the ghost town,

But I don't know this Aobaoliang deep in the Qaidam basin,

Is the largest Dan group in the world,

It is said that the most beautiful Ya Dan in Qaidam is here.

Into o' brien,

It's like walking into a huge maze,

Ya Dan of all sizes and shapes,

It is intricately coded around you,

Feel lost at any time.

Although you are standing in Oberlian,

Ya Dan is crowded in front of me.

But perception is only a small part of it.

In fact,

The area of this ridge exceeds 10 square kilometer.

It is surrounded by hundreds or even thousands of square kilometers of Ya Dan.

Ya Dan in Oberlian is not only large,

And the monomer is also very large,

Most of them are Ya Dan, which is twenty or thirty meters high.

Even as high as forty or fifty meters.

According to Ya Dan's model,

No matter what shape it is,

They are all amazing works of nature, which are amazing.

Emerald Lake —— Impressionist oil painting painted by the earth

When the water meets the salt flats, another kind of scenery is formed.

Speaking of "the mirror of the sky", people only know Chaka Salt Lake.

In Dachaidan, Qinghai,

In fact, there is also a "Jade Lake".

More dreamy than Chaka Salt Lake!

This is a salt lake in the salt lake mining area of Dachaidan Chemical Plant.

Because lake water contains metal elements such as potassium, magnesium and halides,

Against the blue sky and white clouds, it looks like jade.

Therefore, it is called "Emerald Lake" by local people.

Large and small unconnected water surfaces,

Deep blue, light green, colorful,

The widest water surface is bright blue,

Bright as jade.

Countless broken emeralds,

Divided into dozens of lakes, large and small, embedded in the ground,

Not far away is the endless snow-capped mountains.

When there is no wind,

The calm lake looks like a mirror.

Can reflect blue sky and suspended white clouds,

It's really beautiful.

Aiken Spring —— Eye of the Devil at the Foot of Kunlun Mountain

"Aiken" means terrible in Mongolian.

Therefore, it is also called the devil's eye in Qaidam basin.

It's true,

Because of the high sulfur content, birds and animals are not close around Aiken Spring.

Where the spring water flows, nothing grows,

Warm water keeps rolling and overflowing in the center of the source,

Like a magic eye. ...

Around the spring eye,

Because sulfur and other minerals in hot springs have been deposited for a long time,

Formed a reddish-brown circle,

Like a person's eyes,

Warm water keeps rolling and overflowing in the center of the source,

Like magic eye, which has been surging,

People have an indescribable sense of shock.

On the ground, it seems unremarkable,

It's just that this spring is in the vast grassland hundreds of miles away.

This is very salty water,

Dye the surrounding land gold,

When you come to Aiken Spring, you must shoot with a drone to capture its beauty.

Colorful, very beautiful.

Lake Ginel in Dongtai-Jean-Mart Dave was also eclipsed.

Northwest online celebrities have new attractions.

The fire spread all over the circle of friends.

It is the northwest branch known as "Maldives": Dongtai Jinaier Lake.

The lake here has a special blue color.

Some people call it mint blue,

Some people call it pure Tiffany blue,

Everyone passing by here is amazed.

Known as the China version of "Maldives".

The color here is different from that of Qinghai Lake.

Because of the high copper content,

The lake is bright green,

White crystals cover the shore,

It is like an "angel's eye" hidden deep in the Qaidam basin.

Even Dave's water in Bimal is more transparent here.

More colorful,

Just replaced the beach with crystalline salt,

At present, Dongtai Jinaier Lake only charges parking fees.

Automobile 10 yuan, cart 20 yuan,

No tickets for the time being!

Nair Lake in West Taiji-a mysterious blue-green lake

There are Dongtai Jiner and, of course, Xitai Jiner!

Lake Hiteginell is a salt lake.

But in particular,

This lake is a two-color lake.

A highway divides the lake,

The lakes on both sides, one side is green,

One side is blue and distinct.

It's 34 kilometers away from Dongtai Jinaier Lake.

It belongs to the same lake as Dongtai.

Later, the lake retreated and divided into independent lakes.

of course，

This division also created the famous water Ya Dan landform between the two lakes.

How magnificent!

Most importantly,

This is still an underdeveloped country,

So it is cleaner and more natural than Chaka Salt Lake!

Be sure to remind everyone here:

Whether you go with us or by yourself,

Never take a photo of the road in the middle of the road, safety first.

This is the wonder of the Qaidam Basin.

It's half deserted and half dry here,

Known as the most Mars-like place on earth;

Half water,

Brought a magnificent salt lake landscape.

This kind of landscape makes people daydream.

Suppose there is water on Mars,

Will its future be as colorful as Qaidam?
