Apresentação geral
Dachaidan and the Qaidam lakes
Colourful salt lakes, yardangs and desert trails make up a spectacular but very dispersed area.
Lake Emerald of Dachaidan, Salt Lake of Xiaochaidan and Yardangs of the Qaedam give the most telling landmarks of Dachaidan and Qaedam lakes. Together, they make up a destination where desert areas, shores and lakes and natural spaces meet, with atmospheres that change over the stages rather than just one uniform decor.
Ver tudo
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: dachaidan currently banned from access to foreigners according to France Diplomacy and check the authorizations before any reservation. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Lugares imperdíveis
Uma seleção para começar a sonhar e organizar a estadia — não uma lista exaustiva de tudo o que há para ver.

Lago
Lake Emerald of Dachaidan
Old salt basins have highly mineralized green and blue waters. Season, wind and water levels greatly alter the experience; fragile banks and possible local restrictions must also be respected.

Lago
Salty lake of Xiaochaidan
A vast shallow lake borders the highway at the foot of arid reliefs. The season, wind and water level greatly alter the experience; we must also respect the fragile banks and any local restrictions.

Place indismissible
Yardangs du Qaidam
The wind has carved clay alignments in the deserts of the basin. An early visit allows to better observe the local usages and details of the place, while avoiding some of the groups and traffic.
