[2025 Golmud Stay] Travel Guide for Lonely Space（ Gobi ）wild luxury hotel (Updated May)

Most people may not choose to stay near the scenic area when visiting Water Yadan. However, if you value comfort and don't want to spend all your time in a car, you should really consider staying nearby. Not only can you enjoy the super beautiful sunset, but you can also go early in the morning to enjoy the deserted Water Yadan all to yourself. ps: I saw a lot of negative reviews about this place online. Overall, there are some unsatisfactory aspects, but it's quite suitable for off-season travel. 🏠Hotel: Solitary Galaxy (Gobi) Luxury Hotel It shares the same owner as the Solitary Galaxy Gobi Luxury Hotel next door. The public areas are shared. 😜Advantages: 1️⃣Photogenic: The public areas are indeed very Western highway-esque. The hotel's terrace has views of the Yadan landform at sunset. 2️⃣All the necessary facilities are available. Even the log cabins have separate bathrooms. However, they are not in the room; you have to walk two or three meters outside. 3️⃣The Chinese restaurant's dinner is a bit delicious, but the price is a bit expensive, averaging under CNY 150 per person. 😡Disadvantages: 1️⃣Basically, don't expect any service; there's not much service at all. 2️⃣The prices are too expensive during peak season, so the value for money is not high. 3️⃣The log cabin rooms are quite small and not soundproof. 📡Suggestions: 1️⃣If you can get it for under CNY 500 during the off-season, it's still worth experiencing. 2️⃣Price-sensitive people can bring their own food. 3️⃣The hotel's sunset is very beautiful and a must-see.

Qarhan Salt Lake Travel Guide: A Magical Journey to China's Largest Salt Lake🌊✨ Destination Snapshot Qarhan Salt Lake, the 'peak saltiness' of Qinghai's Qaidam Basin! Covering an area equivalent to 56 Chaka Salt Lakes, its salt content is enough to supply the entire world for 1,000 years🧂. There are no pretentious pink beaches here, but there's the hardcore romance of emerald salt ponds, vast salt bridges, and thousands of salt flowers. When sunlight pierces through the clouds, the salt flats refract light like diamonds and stars, you'll understand the ultimate coexistence of desolation and splendor💎! Transportation Self-Driving Route (Recommended!) - From Xining: Xining > G6 Beijing–Lhasa Expressway > Chaka > Dexiao Expressway > Qarhan Salt Lake (Total: 620 km / 8h) - From Golmud: Downtown Golmud → G3011 Liuge Expressway → Salt Lake Scenic Area (60 km/1h) Car-Free Options - Take the Salt Lake shuttle bus from Golmud Railway Station (Departs at 9:00, CNY 25 round trip) - Chartered car (Golmud → Salt Lake round trip, RMB 200, carpooling available for up to 4 people) Action-Packed Must-Do List Wanzhang Salt Bridge: A Wonder Forged by Salt 🌉 Things to Do: - Drive along the 32 km natural salt crust road (Speed limit 30 mph!) - Squat down and touch the surface, salt crystals sparkle like crushed diamonds under the sunlight 📸 Magical Spot: Aerial view of the highway cutting through the Emerald Salt Lake, a legendary God's-eye perspective. Salt Flower Secret Realm · Earth Sculpture 🎨 Core Area: - Salt Flat 3 km west of the Visitor Center (Sightseeing bus CNY 30) - Salt crystals in various forms: coral-like, mushroom-shaped, crystal clusters ⚠️ Warning: Salt formations are extremely fragile! View from a distance only, do not step on them (Warning: Fines apply!) Emerald Salt Field: Tiffany Rhapsody 💎 Photo Tips: - Take photos of the mirror reflection before 10am. Wear a brightly colored long dress (Red/Yellow are the most stunning). - Find the Qiantan Salt Cave for an overhead shot, and pretend you're falling into an emerald starry river 🧂 Neat hack: Sprinkle salt onto the lake surface to create ripples, instantly getting dynamic ripples. Sunset Salt Cliff · Crimson Romance 🌅 Golden Hour: Summer 20:30/Winter 18:50 📍 Location: Abandoned salt mining boat at the salt lake pier, a collision of rusted metal and salt crystals creating a cyberpunk wasteland style. Hardcore Plateau Cuisine - Griddle-cooked Lamb: A must-try in Golmud! Lamb with skin + potato slices, crispy, fragrant, and bursting with juice (CNY 98/medium pot) - Yak Yogurt: With white sugar + roasted barley, so sour it'll make you squint (CNY 8/bowl) - Gou Jiao Niao You Bing (Dog Pee Pancake): Made with highland barley flour + fenugreek powder, weird name, but really delicious (CNY 5/each) - Bizarre Food: Salt Lake Brine Shrimp (High protein, dare to try?) Accommodation Red Book Immersive Type - Golmud "Light of the Salt Lake Campsite": Container rooms facing the salt lake starry sky (CNY 500/night) Value for money - Downtown Golmud chain hotel (Hanting/Home Inn, CNY 150/night, rest up for the next day) Insta-worthy Spot - Lonely Star Gobi Glamping Hotel: Astronaut sculpture + Gobi Desert pool (1,200+, great for photos) Hard-Learned Lesson 1. Corrosion Warning: - Saltwater corrodes shoe soles! Wear old shoes/rain boots, and put your phone in a waterproof case. - Rinse immediately after contact with lake water. Those with sensitive skin should bring Vaseline. 2. Sun Protection Package: - UV rays + Salt flat reflection = Double impact, Physical sun protection (Face mask + sunglasses) > Sunscreen 3. The Magic of Photography: - Harsh midday light caused blown-out highlights! Shot in RAW format and recovered shadows in post-processing. - Beware of "salt spray" corroding drone motors (Wipe clean immediately after returning). 4. Ecological iron law: - Drones are prohibited over the entire lake area (including the airspace above the Potash Fertilizer Plant). Violators will be fined CNY 2,000. - Do not take salt crystals/chunks (there are security scanners at the exit). 5. Weather Game: - Closed during high winds (> level 6) - The salt crust is slippery during winter, and some areas are off-limits. Hear the crunch as the off-road vehicle rolls over the salt bridge, stand on the wreckage of a salt harvesting boat, and watch the sunset sink into a maze of salt crystals. In the distance, a salt transport train, like a white centipede, crawls beside an emerald pool, while the wind carries the salty, acrid scent of industry - this vast salt lake, supplying 90% of China's potash fertilizer, writes a heavy metal epic amidst desolation and grandeur🚂💠 Best Season - June–August: Emerald Lake's color is at its most vibrant, but expect intense sun exposure. - Sep–Oct: Less crowded + soft light - November–May: Windy with desolate scenery (Suitable for brave souls seeking solitude) (🔔 Fun fact: Qarhan Salt Lake has salt reserves of 60 billion tons, the thickest salt layer is 60m, and there really are no bridge piers under the salt bridge!)

The best part of this Qinghai-Gansu trip is waking up to breathtaking views every day! At the "Lonely Starry Sky" hotel on the Gobi Desert, lie in a glass house and gaze at the Milky Way, or watch the sunset over the Yadan landforms from a 40-meter-high viewing platform—it's simply divine. Dunhuang East Inn is like a desert art museum, with earthen houses offering windows that open onto the Mingsha Mountain, and flying apsaras dances in the evening. The bubble houses at Chaka Salt Lake are incredible! Sleep by the salt lake, take a small train to the "Sky Realm" during the day, and lie down at night to count the stars as they seem to fall into the lake. 🏨 [Luxury Hotel Recommendations: Unforgettable Stays] ✅ Dunhuang East Inn: The rooms are cleverly named after acupuncture points! We recommend the "Zhiyang" scenic view room, where you can open the window to see Mingsha Mountain. Explore the art museum and artist studios at your leisure, and watch the flying apsaras dance by the fire pit in the evening—a truly immersive experience. ✅ Lonely Starry Sky Gobi Hotel: You must stay in the glass dome stargazing room! Lie in bed and watch the stars rotate, witness the sunrise over the Yadan landforms from the viewing platform in the morning, and take "astronaut-style" photos for your social media—prepare for a surge in likes! ✅ Chaka Starry Sky Bubble House: Enjoy an exclusive location within the scenic area, just a 3-minute walk from the salt lake. Take photos from the transparent boat and viewing platform—a lazy traveler's dream! 🌟 [Unique Experiences] ✔ Water Yadan ATV Adventure: Journey deep into the Gobi Desert to find the "Eye of Yadan," where the contrasting colors of the yellow and blue salt lakes create an otherworldly scene. ✔ Emerald Lake Glass Boat Aerial Photography: Float on the lake's surface in a transparent boat and capture stunning drone footage, reminiscent of the parallel world in "A Little Red Flower." ✔ Qilian Grassland Horse Riding + Seven-Colored Danxia Sunset: Let a herdsman lead you on horseback across the grasslands, and in the evening, watch the "earth's palette" ignite as the sun sets over the Danxia landforms.

🚩 Take a trip to Qinghai and Gansu, see the herds of cattle and sheep under the glaciers and snow valleys, admire the vast wilderness and ravines, the lake and sky blending into one, the natural palette 🏳‍🌈, the endless Qilian Mountains, and the Kunlun Mountains, the ancestor of all mountains.

OMG! Staying at the Mars Camp is so cool! A must-stay in Qinghai! If you come to Qinghai, you should stay in the Gobi Desert for a night if you have the chance. It's like staying on Mars. Great location Near the "Water Yadan" and on the G315 National Highway, it's a must-see place. It's only a 10-minute drive from Dongtai Jinel Lake. Unique scenery The hotel is built entirely on the original landform of the Gobi Desert, giving you the real feeling of living in the Gobi Desert. The whole hotel is like a Mars camp and an American western movie. It's very cool. Various accommodations The hotel offers 4 types of accommodation to meet different needs. The facilities are complete and better than those in the town. ◆ Dome star room (where we stayed) ◆ Independent loft villa (near the Water Yadan) ◆ Tent (self-built and ready to move in) ◆ RV camp (with BBQ area) Very photogenic The hotel itself is also a great place to take photos, with a high lookout tower. You can watch the sunrise in the morning, the sunset in the evening, and the starry sky at night. Rich food The owner is said to be from Sichuan, so the food is spicy. The buffet breakfast is comparable to a 5-star hotel, and the main courses are varied and reasonably priced. We were very satisfied with both meals. If you want to stay in a hotel with Northwest China characteristics when traveling to Qinghai, this is the one for you!

East Tai 1 - Lonely Interstellar Glamping Hotel Before my Northwest China road trip, I was already interested in the水上雅丹 (Water Yardang) located in the Qaidam Basin. 1. There is a 100km+ yardang landform zone, which is what I long for when I am in a yardang landform. 2. Water Yardang is a unique spectacle in China. 3. For the G315 highway. After arriving, I found a fourth surprise - Lonely Interstellar Glamping Hotel 💖Transportation From Dachaidan 🚗, take the Liuge Expressway to the Xisha Line towards Dongtai. The famous "U-shaped" section of the 315 highway refers to a small section of the road leading to Dongtai. Online, most people focus on the shooting location for the U-shaped highway, but the 200km+ yardang landform zone along the way is more worth seeing, and the Water Yardang is part of it. The national highway crossing the desert and yardang landscape is worth having. Many friends will be concerned about whether it is dangerous to drive on this road. ☑☑️It is important to note that this is a national highway, and you can drive along it. There are constant vehicles coming and going on the national highway, so there is no need to worry. ‼️However, never drive off the national highway on your own. It is really dangerous to enter and exit the yardang landform zone at will. Do not do this if you are traveling with your family. 💖Accommodation I chose the Lonely Interstellar (Gobi) Glamping Hotel located in Dongtai. The hotel is next to the Water Yardang Scenic Area, and you can see part of the scenery from the hotel, which is highly recommended. The hotel is located in the yardang landform, and you can experience the desired feeling of grandeur, fantasy, loneliness, antiquity, and mystery. Being in it has a strong visual impact, and with the hotel's design, it feels like walking on Mars. You can find a shooting location anywhere, and the photos are amazing. 💖Attractions In addition to the Water Yardang, Dongtai Jin'er Lake and Xitai Jin'er Lake are also nearby. If you are interested, you can visit them as well. However, the beauty of these two lakes can only be fully appreciated through aerial photography, and the on-site effect is average. If you have limited time and have been to the Jade Lake in Dachaidan, you can skip them. If you have plans to go to Mangya, you will pass by them. I personally suggest not making a special arrangement. ➡️Inside the Water Yardang Scenic Area, there is a shuttle bus. There are four drop-off points. Still, starting from the deepest drop-off point, choose your own route from the inside out. The scenery is similar, so choose 1-2 key attractions to visit. 💖Itinerary arrangement Dongtai is not on the main Northwest China road trip route, it is a branch attraction. A round trip is over 400km, about 6 hours. You need to arrange a separate night to stay in Dongtai. There are several branch attractions in Haixi, but due to limited time, you can choose your favorite branch attractions. 315 "U-shaped" highway + Water Yardang + Mars Base Lonely Interstellar (Gobi) Glamping Hotel is highly recommended.

Yes, this Mars-like place is actually a hotel!!

The hotel is located on the Yadan next to National Highway 315. Here, you can watch the sunrise and sunset during the day and the stars at night. In addition, the hotel is very photogenic. It has designed many Internet celebrity check-in spots, such as Martian astronauts, Martian flying saucers, etc., coupled with the scenery of the Gobi Desert, it is a whole beautiful place!

This is a hotel you must stay in when you come to Northwest China. I'll be sad if anyone doesn't come to live here, okay? If you are near the Water Yadan or want to visit the Water Yadan, you can come and stay here to experience it! This is one of the few hotels in the Gobi Desert. We would like to stay here again next time. There is also a shop that rents astronaut suits in the hotel. If you want to change into suits and check in, you can make a reservation in advance. I just arrived late and didn’t have time to arrange it! The hotel has RVs, dome starry sky rooms and villa double bed rooms. We stayed in the villa area, and there were four people in one room! It was a small duplex with three beds, so it didn't feel crowded when sleeping! The whole hotel is very large, with RVs and starry sky rooms in the lower area and the villa area above! The villa area has a wider view, where you can watch the sunrise in the morning, the sunset in the afternoon, and the stars at night. It's really romantic! The hotel's facilities are also relatively complete, with a small supermarket, cafe, barbecue restaurant, Chinese restaurant, etc. We went to the Chinese restaurant to eat Sichuan cuisine. It's really a blessing to be able to eat Sichuan cuisine in the Gobi Desert! It tastes good! The room is not big, but we can spread out all four suitcases! We still use the air conditioner during the day, it's very hot! We have to turn on the heater at night, it's really cold! Friends who stay there should pay attention to the big temperature difference so as not to catch a cold. We took pictures in the hotel for a whole morning, it was really great to take pictures! Every location we walked to was a great spot to take pictures. Due to time constraints, we didn't have time to take a photo with the UFO, which was a pity! Friends who like taking pictures must go early to take pictures and check in! Overlooking the Yadan on the water and feeling the smoke of the desert, this is a very unique wild luxury hotel. I recommend it to everyone! Lonely Star (Gobi) Wild Luxury Hotel, south of 894 km of Golmud National Highway 315
