The Devil's Eye in Qinghai - Mysterious and Spectacular!!

The Devil's Eye in Mangya, Qinghai, is actually called Aiken Spring. Later, the official name was changed to Angel's Eye due to a touching story. Have you heard of it? The Devil's Eye is located deep in the Alar Prairie, more than 40 kilometers from Mangya City, Qinghai Province. Here, using a drone to overlook the spring from the air, due to the long-term precipitation of sulfur and other minerals in the hot spring, a red-brown circle is formed, the color is weird, just like the devil's eyes. In the spring, the overflowing hot water is like a magical eyeball, giving an indescribable sense of suffocation. What's even more amazing is that it is said that the spring has been gushing for thousands of years, inexhaustible, unfathomable, and the place where the spring water flows is barren, and birds and beasts dare not approach it. Everything is as evil as its name, the devil's eye, which makes people creepy. Even so, the spectacular and beautiful scenery of Aiken Spring, like a magic, attracts countless tourists from all over the world. It is not an exaggeration to say that the power of nature is awe-inspiring. Our self-driving journey from Ruoqiang to Mangya in Qinghai is another journey full of praise and exclamation. Starting from Ruoqiang, self-driving through the Altun Mountains and entering the uninhabited area of the Qaidam Basin, this journey not only shows the desolation and beauty of the Northwest, but also reflects the magnificence and vastness of nature. To the north is Lop Nur, known as the "Sea of Death", to the west is the vast uninhabited area of the Altun Mountains, to the south is the uninhabited area of Hoh Xil, and to the east is the Qaidam Basin, the highest altitude in China. Such a geographical environment makes people admire the magic of nature! After a journey of more than 800 kilometers, we arrived in Mangya, Qinghai, and rushed to the "Devil's Eye" to personally feel the beauty of nature!
