[2025 Hami Attraction] Travel Guide for Dahaidao (Updated Jul)

Although the natural scenery of the Dahaidao Scenic Area in Hami, Xinjiang is beautiful, driving safety is the top priority. 👉👉👉 Ticket prices ⚠️⚠️⚠️ ▶️Tickets: 45/person, 100 yuan/car ⏩After a single entry, you are allowed to stay in the scenic area for 72 hours 1. Self-driving friendly reminder ⚠️⚠️⚠️ 1⃣️When driving in summer, you need to take sun protection and heatstroke prevention measures in advance (such as: sun hats, sunglasses, etc.). The sun is scorching and the surface temperature is very high in the Dahaidao Scenic Area, which feels like bread in an oven. (The temperature inside the car was 48 degrees Celsius on the day we entered, and the surface temperature was even higher;) 2⃣️The section from the East Gate of Dahaidao (towards Wubao Town) to Hongliutan is an asphalt road, while the section from Hongliutan to the North Gate (Liaodun) is a gravel road with poor road conditions. It is recommended to use an off-road vehicle or SUV. (Note‼️ Because the chassis of the car is low and the tires are not suitable for running on gravel roads, there is a risk of tire blowout.) Strengthen preventive measures must be taken in advance when crossing. 3⃣️The scenic area is very large and it is an uninhabited area, so fill up the gas tank in advance; 4⃣️The navigation, mobile phone and signal in the scenic area are very poor, and there are many sections without any signal; 5⃣️There is no commercial sale in the scenic area, so prepare food, water, etc. in advance. 6⃣️Please save the scenic area rescue phone number before entering the scenic area; (⚠️‼️When buying tickets, the scenic area will ask you to sign a "safety notice" with the scenic area rescue phone number on it, remember to save it) 7⃣️Keep your tickets safe, as the staff will check your tickets when you leave the scenic area. 8⃣️The scenic area is an uninhabited area. Please visit in a civilized manner and do not litter or rubbish. Protecting the environment is everyone's responsibility. 2. Special reminder🔔🔔🔔 1⃣️During the tour, it is best to drive along the scenic road to enjoy the scenery. Don't run too far away from the scenic area road. Once you leave the scenic area road, you will feel that many roads are familiar and the terrain and landforms seem to be the same. The main reason is that the scenic area is so large that you can't see the end at a glance and it is difficult to distinguish the direction. So don't go to clear the way by yourself❌, it's really easy to get lost❌. It is recommended not to enter alone, it is safer to go in groups⚠️‼ ️. 2⃣️Due to the bad weather, it is recommended not to try to spend the night in the scenic area. The temperature difference between day and night is large and it is extremely unsafe⚠️‼ ️. 3⃣️After playing⚠️‼ ️: If your next stop is Hami, it is closer to exit from the east gate. If you want to go to Turpan, it is closer to exit from the north gate. ⚠️But RVs can only enter and exit from the east gate. After exiting the north gate, there is a 2.2-meter height limit pole on a long section of the road, which makes it impossible to pass ⚠️‼ ️ Friendly reminder ⚠️ Safety first ⚠️ For your reference ⚠️

🎉 Hello everyone! Today, I’m taking you to a place full of mystery and adventure—the Great Sea Road. I’d heard before that this ancient Gobi trail connects Hami and Turpan, boasting breathtaking desert landscapes and unique geological formations, and I’d been longing to visit. Last month, I finally made the trip, and it truly opened my eyes. The beauty of the Great Sea Road exceeded all expectations—every scene was like a stunning painting, utterly mesmerizing. 🚗 Transportation Guide: The Easiest Way to Reach the Great Sea Road 📍 Self-Driving Route: Depart from Hami, follow the G30 highway, and turn onto the Great Sea Road. The road conditions are decent, but the journey is long, so prepare supplies in advance. 🚌 Public Transport: There’s no direct public transport to the Great Sea Road yet. Self-driving or hiring a private car is recommended. 🏘️ Travel Tips: Unlocking the Magic of the Great Sea Road • Must-See Spots: The Great Sea Road is beautiful year-round—lush green grasslands in spring, vibrant wildflowers in summer, golden hues in autumn, and snow-covered landscapes in winter. Untouched by development or commercialization, it’s a pure gift of nature. The Salt Lake is a dazzling gem, its turquoise waters contrasting with the surrounding Yardang landforms to create a breathtaking scene. The Colored Sand Dunes, under specific seasonal and weather conditions, display a palette of red, yellow, blue, and green, like nature’s own canvas. The Volcano Crater is one of the most awe-inspiring sights—standing there, you can almost hear the roar of ancient eruptions, and the surrounding lava formations feel like scenes from another planet, leaving you in awe of nature’s power. • Recommended Duration: Plan for 1-2 days to explore the Great Sea Road. If time allows, stay overnight to witness the stunning starry skies and sunrise/sunset views. • Ticket Info: No entrance fee is required, but prioritize safety and environmental protection. 🍴 Food Recommendations: Savor the Flavors of Hami and Turpan • Hami Melon: Famous for its sweetness and juiciness, the Hami melon is one of the region’s most celebrated specialties, renowned nationwide for its diverse varieties and unique taste. • Grilled Lamb Skewers: Made from locally sourced, high-quality lamb, marinated and grilled to perfection—tender, aromatic, and a must-try Xinjiang delicacy. • Baked Buns: Stuffed with fresh lamb cubes, onions, and more, these buns are baked until golden and crispy on the outside while remaining juicy inside—perfect for breakfast or a snack. 🏨 Accommodation Suggestions: Peaceful Nights by the Great Sea Road • Camping: Camping at the Great Sea Road is highly recommended. Bring all necessary gear (tent, sleeping bag, moisture-proof mat, etc.) and check the weather forecast in advance—choose clear days for the best experience. • Nearby Hotels: If camping isn’t your style, opt for hotels in Hami or Turpan. The Tianshan Hotel in Hami and the Shagong International Hotel in Turpan are great choices, offering excellent facilities and service. 📸 Photo Spots: Capturing the Great Sea Road’s Beauty • Salt Lake & Yardang Landforms: Shoot against the backdrop of the turquoise lake and surreal Yardang formations for striking, high-contrast photos that showcase nature’s artistry. • Colored Sand Dunes: Capture the dunes’ shifting hues under changing light. The best times are shortly after sunrise and before sunset, when the light is soft and colors are vivid. • Volcano Crater: Stand on this otherworldly terrain and photograph the rugged lava formations for images brimming with desolate beauty and mystery. ⚠️ Important Notes: Travel Safely and Responsibly • Plan Wisely: The Great Sea Road is long—plan your route in detail. Ensure your phone and camera are fully charged, bring a power bank, and pack enough water, food, and fuel. Check your vehicle’s condition beforehand. • Watch the Weather: Monitor forecasts and avoid entering during extreme conditions. If caught in a sandstorm, seek shelter immediately. • Follow Rules: The Great Sea Road passes through military zones—stick to designated routes and avoid restricted areas. Border zones require permits; always comply with laws and protect the environment. In short, the Great Sea Road is a place of endless charm, captivating all who visit with its unique landscapes and majestic natural beauty. Trust me—a journey here will leave you with unforgettable memories!

Yes, I'm back in my beloved "Beautiful Xinjiang" again! This time specifically for Hami's Da Hai Dao (Great Sea Road) that I missed last time. The weather was perfect for two days, though we endured 7 hours on bumpy roads and scorching heat! My eyes feasted on spectacular views while my body battled fierce winds and heat waves - forever respecting and loving nature! Finally, I saw with my own eyes the place National Geographic certified as "Earth's most Mars-like terrain"! Red layered cliffs like flaky pastry cut through the Gobi Desert, camel thorns swaying between wind-eroded castle-like formations, and jagged rocks gilded by the sunset - I declare this the true alien planet landing site! The entire Da Hai Dao region features yardang landforms, with the most beautiful concentrated in Echo Wall, Fairy Cave (Sky-reaching Cave), and the Mars Camp core area. The pterosaur fossil site is located in Pterosaur Grand Canyon. It has greater historical significance than recreational value, and due to poor road conditions, stopping to explore is not recommended. For wind-eroded Gobi landscapes, the most representative is Secret Great Wall, where visible wind-eroded stone pillars point skyward, resembling ancient architectural ruins. From a drone perspective, it looks like a massive black dragon skeleton. The Eye of Lop Nur, located near Secret Great Wall, appears as undulating black mountains to the naked eye. A drone with wide-angle view is needed to see its complete form. The Gobi agate market near Secret Great Wall has been largely picked over, but collecting some yourself as souvenirs is still a good option.
