The hidden and great northwest, the wonders I have experienced, what is the northwest in your eyes?

A friend asked me, of all the places you have traveled, which are places you have seen for thousands of years, and which are places that many people have probably never heard of?

I humbly deny my knowledge. The world is so big, I want to see it? The purpose of my leaving will not make me an authority, but it is meaningful to discuss what I have seen and heard with you.

For me, the northwest is the only place in my life that contains all the beautiful scenery of the earth except the ocean landscape. There, Danxia, Ya Dan, mountains, Gobi, deserts, oases, basins, grasslands, lakes and rivers have all been netted, and its beautiful height in a certain field is Mount Everest in this field, which is unparalleled.

I sorted out the northwest scenic spots I have been to in recent years and selected the most amazing scenery I think. The unexpected surprise is that when I look at the photos and record the words silently, it seems that I have started an exciting trip again.

I. O 'Brien

celestial body

Oberlian is located in Mangya City, Qinghai Province, on the western edge of Qaidam Basin.

Described here as? The least earth-like place on earth? . Walking into Oberlian is like walking into a huge maze, like coming to the mysterious surface of Mars.

You can play a sci-fi movie with yourself as the main character, and its name is lost in deep space.

O 'Brien's most beautiful time is dusk, standing on a high place and looking out. Ya Dan, in the endless sunset, shines with golden light, loses his mind and makes his dreams clear.

Second, the cold lake in the town of Mars

Home of aliens

This? Is that weird? Our scenic spot is also in Mangya, Qinghai, which is located in the core of Ya Dan landform and surrounded by desolation.

This is the first Mars simulation base in China. In it, your life on Mars will officially begin. You only need to drive a four-wheel drive off-road to get here, instead of making rockets and spaceships in the vast universe.

explore

Be sure to spend the night at the Mars base in Mangya Lenghu District. In the dark night when the wind tore the clouds, observing the starry sky in a spacesuit with a strong sense of ceremony not only saw my own smallness, but also realized the grandeur of time and space.

Three. thousand buddhas cliff

It's still a cliff. The Thousand Buddha Cliff is in the Garden Valley in the northeast of Huatugou Town. The tertiary red sandstone fold structure extends and spreads, extending inward from the gully mouth and uplifting from west to east. The steep cliff is covered with red muddy overhanging concrete structure, which is like a hanging red waterfall pouring down, with great momentum. Here you can see mud stalactites, mud mushrooms and mud ganoderma lucidum-shaped coagulants.

Thousands of buddhas converge

Passing through this natural curtain, 5 kilometers further to Rio, a cliff is coming. Thousands of clay buddhas are arranged on the cliff in an orderly manner, gradually changing from top to bottom, from a few meters to dozens to hundreds of meters, just like a thousand buddhas sitting in meditation, sitting in danger, which is amazing.

There are many scenic spots called Thousand Buddha Cliffs, but not many people know about Thousand Buddha Cliffs.

Four. One and a half jumps before and after.

On the way to Dachaidan Cold Lake, we will pass through this abandoned oil town.

historical remains

Due to the oil boom and resource depletion, it was once deserted.

If you are a lover of ruins and paranoid about the past, then you will definitely like it here, just like the directors of Nine-story Demon Tower and Xi Feng Lie.

Standing outside the town and walking in, you will find broken buses, abandoned hospitals and factories along the way?

Time is like wine, you want to get drunk.

Verb (abbreviation for verb) Mars Highway 1

Go to an alien planet

The most famous road in Qinghai is National Highway 3 15, and Mars Highway 1 is almost unknown.

But if I want to choose a galloping road, I will give up the 3 15 of online celebrities.

To get to the Mars base, you must take the 1 highway. It crosses the largest and richest Ya Dan landform in China, and one scene at a time is the truest description of driving on this inaccessible expressway.

Riding an off-road vehicle on the gravel road is bumpy, and the shaking all the way will fill your mind with such a rough and unrestrained northwest temperament.

The intransitive verb Aiken spring

Terror Eyes

The eye of the devil? Aiken Spring is about 27 kilometers away from Huatugou Town. This is a geothermal fountain that has been boiling for thousands of years.

Because the spring water contains high sulfide, nothing grows where the spring water passes, birds disappear and animals disappear. People can't get too close, and the strong smell of rotten eggs is too exciting to open their eyes.

But it is really beautiful. Looking down from the air with a drone, this spring eye is like a charming eye. As soon as I saw it, I couldn't help thinking of the mysterious and wonderful queen in Ghost Blowing the Lamp.

This spring water is like the most exquisite brush of nature, rendering this land into an unparalleled colorful situation.

Seven, Mangya Emerald Lake

Yichi emerald

You can't find this place on the map. There is only one lake near Mangya marked on the map, called Ga Schooler Lake.

I'm also confused. Let's take Yuhu Lake as a part of Ga Schooler. From Huatugou Town, take the 3 15 National Road northwards for 22km, and then turn to an eastbound dirt road.

This artificial salt lake is backed by Kunlun and faces the oil sands mountain. The wind is howling all year round, but as long as you grasp the sudden calm moment, you can see the mirror of the sky. It is more than 3000 meters above sea level here, and the best time to visit is July and August. There is a fresh and refined beauty far away from the world.

Eight. West Teginel L.

sea

I think the two sets of Jinaier Lake in the depths of Qaidam Basin are the most like the sea. Some netizens also said that this is the northwest? Maldives? .

It is between developed and underdeveloped, and there are few tourists, so you can enjoy the blue sky and clear water here.

There is a very spectacular waterway in West Tai Ji Nair Lake, one side is blue and the other side is green. When you get there, you must drive it and make a colorful knife.

Stop by the lake when you have time, bask in the golden sun, and look at the sky and the sea, which are blue enough to melt people.

Nine, the road to the sea

The sea becomes a mulberry field, and the mulberry field becomes the sea.

The sea route is a section of road and an area. It is a road from Dunhuang westbound to Hami and then to Turpan. This is the most secret place on the ancient Silk Road.

It has the most magnificent Ya Dan landform in China, and is the shooting place of the film No Man's Land. Up to today, the number of tourists who have actually walked this road is at most 10 thousand.

This road is more than 500 kilometers long, and deserts, Gobi, Ya Dan and Danxia landforms can be seen everywhere. When camping at night, the romantic stars you see are no different from those seen by the ancients thousands of years ago.

The road here is difficult to walk, and it will pass through no man's land. Therefore, four-wheel drive cross-country needs to go with a group of like-minded teammates.

I went to the northwest again, and its desolation, barbarism, out-of-touch magnificence, secrecy and great magnificence conquered my heart again.

There seems to be something unfinished, like there is a color I haven't touched. I flipped through the stored photos, and several bright red frames suddenly came into view.

Where is this?

Finally, I want to sell the suspense and ask my friends who took the time to read this article: Where is the picture above?
