🌟【Mangya Aiken Spring】🌟
The "Devil's Eye" in Qinghai is breathtakingly beautiful! 👀

Finally arrived at the Mangya Aiken Spring that I had been longing for! 😭
The moment I traveled thousands of miles to see it, it was all worth it! ✨

This magical spring
Like a gem inlaid in the Gobi Desert💎
There are layers of white salt around the spring.
It's like a huge eye staring at the sky👁️

🌍 The discovery and legend of Aiken Spring
The discovery of Aiken Spring was actually an accident! It is said that in the early years, when local herdsmen were grazing, they found that the cattle and sheep were always afraid to approach this area. Later, they discovered that there was a strange spring here. The spring water was clear, but there was no grass. The surrounding land was also salinized, forming a unique "eye" shape. 👀

There is also a mysterious legend about Aiken Spring:
According to legend, a long time ago, this place was a desert. When a god passed by, he was touched by the desolation here, so he used his divine power to point out a spring, giving it the power of life. However, the spring water is too pure to breed life. Instead, it forms a unique saline-alkali landform, like an eye gazing at the sky, guarding the land. 👼💧

🚀 From unknown to popular tourist attraction
Aiken Spring was originally called a "strange spring" by local herdsmen. It was not until recent years, with the popularization of drone photography, that a photographer accidentally recorded its full picture through aerial photography and discovered that it actually looked like a giant "eye"! 👁️ This photo quickly became popular on the Internet, and Aiken Spring was therefore called the "Devil's Eye", attracting countless travel enthusiasts and photographers to check in.

As the number of tourists increased, the local government began to pay attention to this natural wonder, built simple viewing platforms and parking lots, and strengthened environmental protection measures. Although it still retains its original natural features, it has gradually become one of the must-see niche attractions when traveling to Qinghai! 📸
Breaking news! The road from Mangya Town to Aiken Spring has been repaired! The asphalt road is very well maintained! No more washboard road!
