Discovery of "Mars" on Earth: Mars Camp in Qinghai Cold Lake

Qinghai Cold Lake Mars Camp is the first Mars simulation base in China. Located on the edge of Qaidam Basin, Lenghu District, Mangya City, Haixi Prefecture, Qinghai Province covers an area of about 5.3 hectares. The landform of Ya Dan here is very similar to that of Mars, so it is also called "the most Mars-like place on earth". Mars camp is divided into sleeping quarters for men and women. The sleeping berth can accommodate 60 people and the tent 100 people. However, it is very difficult to make a reservation here. If you want to experience all the life on Mars, you need to make a reservation at least one month in advance.

Since ancient times, human beings have always had a strong obsession with Mars home and alien life. Whether Mars is suitable for living is also one of the cosmic problems that human beings have explored for so many years. The Chinese Academy of Sciences has always had the idea of building a Mars simulation base, so the Cold Lake Mars Camp came into being because of its own geological advantages. Cold Lake Mars Camp has been awarded the "Mars Research Travel Practice Education and Popular Science Base". The curriculum system of Cold Lake Mars Science Popularization Base aims to build a "pioneer base for Mars immigrants" in 2040 in Mars and Pinggu. The architectural style of the camp also simulates the living environment after human beings move to Mars in the future, including buildings such as "headquarters building" and "Mars cabin", which makes everyone feel immersive and makes you feel immersive.

Cold Lake Mars Camp is building a "Mars Town" integrating science, science fiction and tourism, so the overall atmosphere is similar to the known Mars environment. Around the camp is very desolate, just like the space station built on Mars in the vast universe. In this vast and desolate land, people who come here don't need to imagine what Mars looks like in science fiction movies. We can experience the state of living on Mars, as if we had set foot on it.
