Great Qaidam Lake is also called Yike Qaidam Lake. The lake is 3,060 meters above sea level. In fact, many lakes in the Qaidam Basin are not scenic spots, but salt lakes on the side of the road, but each is extremely beautiful and has its own characteristics. The weather is fine. On a windless morning, the horizon is like a mirror, with Qaidam Mountain as the background, and the blue sky and cloud shadows in the lake. Small Qaidam Lake is also called Baga Qaidam Lake. The lake is 3,200 meters above sea level. The Dexiao Expressway is not a fully enclosed highway. You can get off the road in many places and drive closer to the lake to take pictures. Get out of Dachaidan, head north towards Dunhuang, get off the road at the Salt Lake team, and drive to the lake to see brightly colored salt ponds, which is a good place to take reflections.

In Haixi Mongolian and Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, a basin on the northeast edge of the Qaidam Basin, 5 kilometers southwest of Dachaidan Town. Originally, it belonged to the same large lake as Xiaochaidan Lake. Later, due to the drier climate, the lake shrank and evolved into an independent lake.

Dachaidan Devil City. Starting from Dachaidan all the way westward, we came to the legendary Yadan Devil City. Yadan landform Devil City is located on the northern edge of the Qaidam Basin on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. It is a combination of intermittently extending elongated mounds and concave grooves at intervals. It is called Yadan landform by geologists. This piece of Yadan is also very beautiful and magnificent, and because it is widely distributed on both sides of the road, it has not been commercialized, and it is very original. Although Devil City is on both sides of the road, it is also a no-man's land. It is very desolate. From a distance, there are strangely shaped mounds. It is still very scary to walk in alone. The small town of Dachaidan, a small town on the plateau, is very peaceful and beautiful. Standing in the small town, you can still see the snow-capped mountains not far away. It's July, and the top of the mountain is still covered with snow.

Only when a person is traveling can he hear his own voice, it will tell you that the world is wider than you imagined. On the road to Dachaidan Lake, watching the car drive through this strange and vast place, I really felt the magic and beauty of the world!
