🌟【Must-See Highlights】

► Yadan formations shaped by millions of years of wind erosion soak in the emerald lake, a collision of desolation and softness, kids keep exclaiming "like dinosaur skeletons!"

► Hidden gem "Eye of Yadan": deep in the park is a matcha-green lake, aerial shots look like the earth’s pupil, the naked eye view is 100 times more stunning than photos!
🚁【Family Fun Guide】

❶ Take the sightseeing bus to the end, rent a sand dune ATV (150 RMB/vehicle) to race deep into the desert, then walk 5 minutes to find the "Eye of Yadan" (no drone needed for a high vantage point)

❷ Ride camels (100 RMB/person) across the dunes, kids get a desert caravan experience; speedboat rides (150 RMB/person) surfing to see Yadan reflections are super thrilling!

❸ Stay at the park’s RV campsite in the evening (600-1200 RMB), lie down with the kids to watch the Milky Way, the starry sky is so clear you can almost reach out and touch it～
📸【Photo Tips】

► Wear denim outfits + Martin boots, with the Gobi background you’ll look cool and stylish! Red/yellow clothes pop against the blue lake～

► Use a telephoto lens to capture Yadan textures, drone aerial shots of the "Eye of Yadan" look like inlaid turquoise!
💡Tips:

► July-August is the best season, daytime around 20°C is super cool, but UV rays are strong! Be sure to apply sunscreen and sunglasses for the kids

► Bring plenty of snacks, dining options in the park are limited; weathered rock formations are unstable, hold kids’ hands tightly and avoid climbing!

► Set aside a full day, play in the sand and row boats by day, stargaze and tell stories by night, experience nature’s masterpiece～
