Mount Qomolangma in the desert is called Bilutu Peak, which is located in the depths of Badain Jaran Desert in Alashan Right Banner, Alashan League, Inner Mongolia, with an altitude of161.009 meters and a relative height of nearly 500 meters. It is the highest sand mountain in the world, more than 70 meters higher than the highest peak in sub-Saharan Africa, and is called "Mount Everest" in the desert.
Bilutu stands on the vast sand sea, and its peaks soar into the sky. There are many sand ridges extending downward from the peak, and many sand nests are formed between the sand ridges. Shawo is the "cradle" of desert life, where clusters of Artemisia annua, Misha and camel thorn grow tenaciously.
Climbing to the top of the mountain, from a distance, thousands of miles of sand dunes, like waves, cascade into the sky, which is spectacular. You can also overlook six lakes around Sha Feng, which are several kilometers apart. Under the irradiation of the setting sun, they sparkle, and there is smoke rising on the lake, which reminds people of the poem "Lonely smoke in the desert, the long river sets the yen".
Sand Mountain
Dune refers to a giant dune or dune chain, and its relative height exceeds 100 meters. Hills, sand piles, sand ridges or other loose materials formed by wind are called sand dunes. The existence of sand dunes is caused by loose materials blown by the wind, which is usually related to the fact that sandstorms occupy a large area of desert areas.
The types of sand dunes can be divided according to the structure, wind direction and sediment concentration of sand-laden airflow, and also according to the relationship between the direction of wind action and the morphological distribution of sand dunes. Dunes can be divided into crescent dunes, longitudinal dunes, pyramid dunes and honeycomb dunes.
