Yadan Spectacle
|

| (Chinese: 雅丹地貌;pinyin: yǎdāndìmào): 'Yadan' means 'steep mound' in Uygur. The formation of Yadan features requires two elements; firstly, the earth structure must be loose. Secondly, there must be a strong wind. In extremely dry areas, especially deserts, it seldom rains, but when rain falls, it will often be torrential, bringing about flash floods. The loose earth is eroded away year after year by rain, wind and flood. The landscape is reshaped into various mounds. Yadan Spectacle is a special topography, situated in the Lop Nur Area which is the second largest Yadan area after the Qaidam Basin. The cluster of eroded mounds are scattered mainly in the north, west and east sides of the Lop Nur Area. |
