Go wild at the edge of the world! A guide to exploring the mysteries of Mangya!

Ever wanted to go on an adventure to the "edge of the world"? Mangya in Haixi, Qinghai is an off-the-beaten-path treasure you can't even imagine! As a low-key and mysterious small town in the northwest, Mangya has unique natural wonders and stunning wilderness landscapes, making it the ultimate dream for off-road enthusiasts and nature fanatics! Join me, hop in a 4x4, and explore this mysterious land known as "the other side of the earth"! 1. Mangya Emerald Lake: A "natural filter" hidden deep in the plateau Mangya Emerald Lake is definitely a "must-see" attraction on this trip. Unlike the well-known Chaka Salt Lake, which is crowded with people, Emerald Lake is more pure and natural. The lake water changes color, especially under the sun, it presents a dreamy green, as if a natural filter has been added to the lake. Unlike other popular attractions that are crowded, you can take pictures as you wish. 2. Mangya Yardang Landform: Wind-carved wonders, birthplace of wilderness blockbusters The Yardang landform is one of the iconic natural wonders of Mangya, and it is a work of art of natural wind carving! These strangely shaped mounds and isolated rock pillars are like an alien world. Blockbuster lovers must not miss it. Whether it is the shock of the big scene or the wonder of the details, you can take a "wild planet adventure" blockbuster effect. Historical knowledge: **The name Mangya actually comes from Mongolian, meaning "steep cliff". In ancient times, it was the western end of the Silk Road, where merchants traveled, and it still retains the sense of history intertwined with desolation and magnificence. Best time: **Go in the afternoon, wait for the sunset to slowly fall, the entire Yardang is like gold-plated under the afterglow, super beautiful! 3. Wusute Water Yardang: Super surreal wonder in the uninhabited area of the northwest Wusute Water Yardang is another very cool check-in point in Mangya. You may find the name mysterious-"water" plus "Yardang"? Yes! This is where the desert and the lake meet. The Yardang landform stands quietly in a piece of blue water, forming a wonderful "water-land fusion" landscape. It really makes people wonder, is this in the northwest desert or the Mediterranean? **Attraction features: **The sense of uninhabitedness of the Water Yardang is particularly strong, and you can almost enjoy this magical scenery alone. If you want a more amazing shooting effect, bring a drone, overlooking the Water Yardang, the grandeur will make you feel small in an instant. 4. Kunlun Mountain Pass: The majestic guardian on the northwest wasteland The charm of Mangya also lies in it being the gateway to the Kunlun Mountains! The Kunlun Mountains have a very strong historical and mythological color, known as the "ancestor of all mountains", and is one of the sacred mountains in Chinese culture. Standing at the Kunlun Mountain Pass, you are surrounded by towering mountains and vast wastelands, and you will feel a sense of vastness and openness. **Historical knowledge: **The Kunlun Mountains are considered the "fairy mountain" in ancient Chinese mythology. It is said that the Queen Mother of the West lives here, and it also breeds the source of the Yellow River. In Mangya, you can feel the desolate and magnificent northwest style. This land has witnessed the glory of history and has also precipitated the mysterious legends of thousands of years.
