🎈The Wusute (Water) Yadan Scenic Area is perfect for summer cooling! Spend 2 days and 1 night capturing the romance of the Gobi Desert and clear waters—here’s an immersive guide for you to save👇 The Wusute (Water) Yadan Scenic Area, also known as the Water Yadan, is located in the Haixi Mongol and Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Qinghai Province, on the northwest edge of the Qaidam Basin. It is like a dazzling pearl embedded in the desert. This area was once inhabited by the ancient Qiang people. Over long geological changes, due to the rising lake surface, the Yadan formations on the northern edge were gradually submerged, creating the world’s unique water Yadan landform landscape. 🌟Day 1: Stay in a starry fairy tale in the Gobi🏨 First, check in at the scenic area! Head straight to the Wusute Yadan Grand Hotel, where opening your window reveals stunning views of the Yadan landforms (Tip: some rooms may not have the view, so be sure to ask customer service in advance). 🚗 After dropping off your luggage, take the sightseeing bus: first visit the "Wanghai Platform" for a panoramic view, then stroll through "Penglai Fairy Island" to see the Yadan reflections, next go to the "West Sea Fleet" viewing platform for dramatic silhouette photos, and finally stay at the "Golden Sand Beach" until sunset—the setting sun dyes the lake surface like flowing gold foil. Wear light-colored clothes for photos with a cinematic vibe! After a day of fun, return to the scenic area where the Yadan Night Buffet Restaurant awaits you with delicious food~ 🌟Day 2: Unlock the double thrill of the "West Sea Fleet"🌄 Set your alarm early! Watch the sunrise at "Golden Sand Beach," where the morning light gilds the Yadan edges and the lake sparkles beautifully—truly breathtaking. After sunrise, rest at the hotel to recharge, then unlock the "Eye of Yadan," where every photo looks like a masterpiece! Head to the dock for a yacht tour around the lake! See the Yadan from a new perspective—the water-eroded textures look like wrinkles carved by time, and when sand gulls skim past the boat, you truly understand the "romantic collision of the Gobi and water"~ 📌Useful Tips: ✅ Day and night temperature difference is over 15℃, bring a thick jacket (it can be a lifesaver for sunrise) ✅ Driving from Xining is tiring but worth it! Staying at hotels inside the scenic area lets you fully immerse in sunsets and stargazing. Choose from Wusute Yadan Grand Hotel, RV campgrounds, or the dreamy starry wild luxury hotel—close to attractions and worry-free~ ✅ Don’t forget the three sun protection essentials: sunscreen + sunglasses + sun hat. The high-altitude UV rays are no joke! When the city is scorched by heat, the Water Yadan offers cool 20℃ breezes, northwest cuisine, and the comfort of scenic area hotels, inviting you to escape the crowds~ This summer, bring friends to the northwest wilderness and let the Yadan landforms and Wusute Yadan Grand Hotel fill your romantic collection!
