Adorable kids actually took photos on Mars

The crew of the show "Dad at Home" brought the cute kids to the Yadan landform group in the Qaidam Basin, Qinghai, for a check-in! This place has landforms very similar to Mars and is called the "Mars Base." The kids all put on spacesuits and transformed into "little astronauts" in this unique landscape, experiencing the wonderful feeling of "landing on Mars." They also took various photos and checked in, looking absolutely adorable. The Qaidam Basin is located in the northwest of Qinghai Province, surrounded by mountain ranges such as the Kunlun Mountains. It is one of China's four major basins. Although the western part has a harsh climate, the Yadan landforms are world-famous as a masterpiece of weathering. Moreover, the basin is rich in salt and mineral resources, earning it the nickname "Treasure Basin." Here, visitors can feel the shock brought by the unique landforms, as if they were on Mars, and also learn about abundant geological knowledge. Come to the Qaidam Basin "Mars Base," put on a spacesuit, and like the adorable kids, start a wonderful "Mars journey" and leave behind your own magical memories!
