🌍 Exploring Wusute Water Yadan, the dream miracle of northwest of Shanghai This Qinggan Great Ring Road trip, Wusute Water Yadan Geopark is definitely the most amazing stop for me! 🚗 Transportation and itinerary: From Xining, all the way west, through the vast and endless Gobi desert, the scenery along the way has made me full of expectations for the destination. When the car slowly drove into the vicinity of the scenic spot, you could see the picture of the magical waters and the Yadan landform from a distance, and the heart was instantly choked. 🎫 Tickets and scenic facilities: The ticket price includes sightseeing tickets, which is reasonable. The sightseeing bus route planning in the scenic area is very clear, and the site setting is just right, and it is easy to reach the main observation decks. However, there are many tourists during the peak tourist season, and it takes some patience to wait in line. 🏞️ scenery: The moment I stepped into the scenic spot, I seemed to have entered another planet by mistake. The blue gem-like lake, sparkling under the sun, and the Yadan landform standing on the lake, in different shapes, some like mysterious castles, some like spirit animals, and some like expeditionary fleets, nature's ghostly work is displayed here. Walk along the plank road, enjoy the water Yadan up close, you can see the traces of wind erosion, touch the texture of the years. The light from different angles makes Yadan and the lake change different colors, sometimes golden, sometimes blue, each step is a beautiful picture. In the evening, the embers of the sunset were sprinkled on this magical land, and the whole world was dyed warm tones. The water Yadan was more magnificent in the embers. At this time, taking pictures, Zhang Zhang is a blockbuster! 🤸♀️ Play projects: The scenic area is rich in play projects and the experience is full. I took a speedboat, galloped on the lake, felt the roar of the wind, and watched the cliffs of Yadan up close; I also tried desert go-karts, and enjoyed the speed and passion on the Gobi. In addition, the camel riding project is not to be missed. Cycling slowly on the edge of the desert, as if crossing the Silk Road. 💡 Intimate tips: 1. Be sure to bring sun protection equipment, the ultraviolet rays here are very strong. 2. There are more mosquitoes, especially in the evening, remember to bring mosquito repellent supplies. 3. Aerial photography can take the whole picture and shock of the water Yadan, and friends with drones must not miss it. 4. The dining options in the scenic area are limited, and you can bring some small snacks and drinking water. Wusute Water Yadan Geopark is a treasure given by nature to the world. Whether it is a geology enthusiast, a photography enthusiast, or an ordinary tourist, you can find your own happiness and touch here. I really recommend everyone to come here to feel this unique charm!
This northwest trip, specially visited Wusute Water Yadan Geopark, located in Qinghai Province Haixi Mongolian Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture Dachaidan Xingwei Xitai 2 (next to National Road 315), is the only water Yadan landform landscape in the world. It was formed in 2007 due to the flood diversion of the Nalingrad River in Kunlun Mountain and flooded the Yadan group. The area is about 10,000 square kilometers, and the Yadan mound is10-50 meters high. It is a spectacle with the lake and is known as "Hundred Birds and Thousand Island Lake". The scenic spot includes the Yadan Eye, the Xihai Fleet and other special attractions. It is a paradise for photography and adventure lovers. Under the blue sky and white clouds, it is especially beautiful.

One day in Xining city. In the morning, we went to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau Wildlife Park. We saw snow leopards, garden babies, manuls, etc. It is a zoo with a very high cost performance. It is really worth spending half a day to visit it.
The only zoo in the country where you can see desert cats!! I have known about this zoo through snow leopards since 2017, and now I finally came. I was lucky to see all of the Nishino F4, the beautiful Shuangshuang and Xiaxia, the round Liangliang, the business-minded Saburo and the garden baby, and the always sleeping Huhu. Leopards and cats must continue to be happy

The location here for viewing Qinghai Lake is excellent. The newly opened scenic area is not crowded and the price-performance ratio is high. Driving from here to Heimahe via Huanhu West Road is probably the most beautiful section of Qinghai Lake.
Free admission, the shuttle bus is 38 yuan regardless of the crowd. High cost performance, beautiful scenery, many 湟鱼, no need to queue for the shuttle bus, very convenient. Directly to the edge of Qinghai Lake, worth going.

Just by the four words "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau", it has irreplaceable uniqueness, attracting people to explore the magic of the plateau, so after being closed on the first day, we have to come again the next day, which is also the last stop of this trip to Xining. 24 exhibition halls of landform models/topography science/animal and plant specimens/Sanjiangyuan water samples, every step in the natural science popularization experience a sense of substitution, the spirituality of all things on the third pole of the roof of the world is majestic and magnificent.
No matter how smart and rare the Helena Morpho Butterfly is, or how full and sacred the Rhodiola rosea is, it is not as persistent and vivid as the exploration of Sanjiangyuan, and the scientific expedition to Mount Everest is so great and magnificent. The last two displays are particularly interesting
The museum is very large, rich in content, eye-opening, restoring the true history, popularizing humanities and geography, and improving the pattern! I admire the beautiful mountains and rivers of the motherland and the hard work and friendship of people of all ethnic groups. I like the beautiful mountains and rivers of the motherland!

I bought a double ticket for 238 yuan. When I went there, three or four projects were not open. I played all the projects that were open. I also watched the dolphin show in the aquarium. The aquarium was very rich and beautiful. Since it closed at 18:00, I didn't see the aquarium carefully, which was a bit regrettable. Water World was also open, which was included in the pass. I didn't go in because I didn't bring swimming trunks, but I didn't have time to play. Overall, it was worth it.
Xinhualian Tongmeng Park integrates amusement, animal and plant appreciation and knowledge popularization, providing convenient conditions for children to get in touch with and understand relevant animal and plant knowledge in an all-round way. It also has convenient transportation and parking, making it an ideal choice for family leisure and entertainment on weekends.

The 5A scenic spot feels a bit small, the natural scenery, the cost performance is OK, it's good to have fewer tourists, I don't want to go to crowded scenic spots, it's good to come here. The staff service is very good, the scenic spot is well equipped, it would be better if you can drive in by car.
We drove from Xining and enjoyed the picturesque scenery. After arriving at the scenic spot, the staff allowed us to drive in because the mountain was about to be closed and there were few tourists. We were so happy! There were almost no tourists in the scenic area, only a few construction workers and aboriginals. There were cattle and sheep everywhere. It was so beautiful against the backdrop of blue sky, white clouds and snow-capped mountains! It is worthy of being a 5A scenic spot and it is worthy of being on the National Geographic Magazine of China. Beautiful China! Qinghai is so beautiful!

There was almost no one there when we went there. There were only two young ladies taking photos. I have to say that this attraction is really very secluded. It is very suitable for taking some nice pictures. There are some animals whose names I don't know, wild ducks. The lake is quite wide.
Qinghai Lake has a large area. This place called Fairy Bay has attracted so many people to visit it before and today. In addition to the special scenic spot, many migratory birds spend the winter here every year.

It is very suitable to take children to play. The water is very hot. After soaking, the skin is very good. The legs are not dry. I like it very much. The only drawback is that the restaurant is not open. You need to bring your own food. The indoor and outdoor areas have their own characteristics.
The Snow Mountain Hot Spring is still worth experiencing. It is perfect to soak in the hot spring at an altitude of more than 3,000 meters, accompanied by a bottle of beer. The place is relatively large and there are many pools. The snow on the top of the mountain in the peak summer season has not melted yet, which is great.
