The Moments are going crazy! It's really not abroad! It's the great Northwest

Location: Ulan Us Desert Geological Park in Haixi Prefecture, Qinghai Province, also known as the Water Yadan. When it comes to the great Northwest, the first thing that comes to mind is the arid and rainless Gobi Desert. Then, in such an extremely arid desert area, numerous colorful lakes have been nurtured. It's hard to describe the feeling when, after driving for hours and crossing hundreds of kilometers, a boundless expanse of azure sea suddenly appears before your eyes~ 'Yadan' is a Uighur word, meaning 'a small hill with steep walls,' also known as 'wind erosion forest,' which is a unique type of wind erosion landform. Yadan landforms are relatively common in the Northwest, but the Water Yadan is truly a unique existence, with countless large and small Yadan scattered on the blue lake surface like warships in the sea. The azure blue water, flocks of seagulls, you might think you've arrived at some island. ~ It's really amazing how nature's vitality, in the vast expanse next door, has nurtured such a colorful landscape ~~~~~~~~~
