Chaidamu Basin: A Vast and Desolate Natural Wonder

Chaidamu Basin, located on the northern edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, presents a desolate and mysterious magnificent landscape. This vast land is interspersed with sand dunes and salt lakes, and the weathered Yardang landforms can be seen everywhere, scattered like natural sculptures. The basin also nurtures rich salt and oil resources, providing precious treasures for human exploration of nature. When the sunlight pours down, the salt lakes reflect the sky like mirrors, seamlessly connecting heaven and earth, like a dream. The desolate Chaidamu, with its unique desolate beauty, inspires visitors to deeply contemplate nature and life. It is an ideal place to seek the primitive power of nature and a grand epic of the earth's years.
