Water Yadan Travel Guide: A Journey Through the Northwest Wilderness

Last week, I finally checked off my bucket list destination—the Wusute (Water) Yadan Scenic Area. From the moment I stepped onto this land, it felt like I’d wandered onto the set of a fantasy blockbuster! Now, I’m sharing this ultra-detailed travel guide with you, fellow adventurers who yearn for the wild beauty of the Northwest.

📍 Wusute (Water) Yadan Scenic Area

This unique water-eroded Yadan landscape is where the Gobi Desert collides with lakes, creating a miraculous sight that leaves you awestruck at every glance!
🔸 Travel Tips: Arrive in the afternoon and check in first (staying inside the scenic area is highly recommended for double the experience). Take the sightseeing bus along the route:
- **Wanghai Platform** for a panoramic view,
- **Penglai Fairy Island** to explore the Yadan formations by the water,
- **West Sea Fleet** to witness the ship-like Yadan formations,
- And finally, **Golden Beach**—the perfect spot for sunset! The Yadan glows orange-red under the setting sun, while the lake shimmers, leaving you speechless.
🔸 Practical Info: Entrance ticket is 60 RMB/person, and the sightseeing bus is 60 RMB/person. Don’t miss the **Dream Starry Sky Glamping Resort** ✨ inside the scenic area. The yak beef stew with potatoes at the Yadan Night Buffet Restaurant is bursting with the rich flavors of the plateau, reviving you after a tiring journey. You can also enjoy yacht rides and off-road vehicle tours (prices vary).
