Desert has always been the courage for people to pursue and explore; As one of the tourist destinations, it is vast and mysterious, which is one of the reasons why people like it more.
Next, Bian Xiao will introduce you to five desert landscapes in China.
① Badain Jaran Desert
Address: Alashan League, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region
Badain Jaran Desert is one of the four deserts in China, with a total area of 4.7.
Ten thousand square kilometers. Known for its five wonders: Qifeng, Mingsha, Qunhu, Shenquan and Ancient Temple, it is the only world-class desert geological park in the world and one of the most beautiful deserts in China.
Among them, Birutu Sha Feng is the highest sand dune in the world, with an altitude of 1, 617m and a relative height of over 500m. It is the highest peak of sand mountain in the world and is known as "Mount Everest in the Desert". Standing on the peak overlooking the surrounding area, a few kilometers apart.
Six lakes, sparkling in the sun.
Although the annual precipitation in Badain Jaran Desert is less than 40mm, there are more than 100 lakes in the desert, which are scattered like gems.
The majestic sand mountain, mysterious singing sand, quiet lakes and wetlands constitute the charming scenery of Badain Jaran Desert, attracting tens of thousands of domestic and foreign tourists every year.
② Taklimakan Desert
Address: Tarim Basin, Xinjiang
Taklimakan Uyghur language means "you can't get out", also known as "the sea of death", which is the largest desert in China, with an area of 330,000 square kilometers and the tenth largest desert in the world.
The center of the desert is a typical continental climate with heavy wind and sand. Affected by the wind, sand dunes are long, strangely shaped and often move, also known as flowing deserts. It is the second largest flowing desert in the world, second only to Arabia.
1 10,000 square kilometers of Lubuhari Desert.
Tarim desert highway is the road of hope that runs through the sea of death; Total length 522
Kilometers. Driving through it, enjoying the magnificent desert scenery along the way, spending the night in the hinterland tower and sleeping in the desert center around hundreds of kilometers, that feeling must be very different.
③ Tengger Desert
Address: Southwest of Zuo Qi, Alashan, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region
Tengger is "Tian" in Mongolian, which means as vast as Tian.
Tengger Desert, with Helan Mountain in the east and the Great Wall in the south, is the fourth largest desert in China, covering an area of about 42,700 square kilometers. This is one of the main cradles of sandstorms, which is desolate and vast. There are 400 such as Moon Lake, Swan Lake and Suhaitu Lake.
Bigger than the lake basin dotted with it.
There are also many sightseeing projects in Tengger Desert. Shapotou, a popular place my father visited a few years ago, is one of the scenic spots in Tengger Desert. Riding a camel, skiing, taking a four-wheel drive off-road vehicle, drifting and diving on the sand slope, which is exciting.
④ Mingsha Mountain in Dunhuang
Address: Dunhuang, Jiuquan, Gansu
Singing sand, also known as whistling sand, whistling sand or musical sand, is a strange and common natural phenomenon in the world.
Due to the influence of various climatic and geographical factors, when the fine sand particles mainly in time move due to the action of wind, gravity or external force, the sand particles rotate in the airflow, causing the "diabolo" effect to buzz.
In ancient times, Mingsha Mountain amazed people with its peculiar natural wonders. "It preaches that God is different from sand, cold sounds, potential doubts, yin is like a mine, the wind is still sharp, and the human umbilical blade is uneven." This vivid poem is a description of the wonders of Mingsha Mountain in Dunhuang by poets in the Tang Dynasty.
Mingsha Mountain is located 5 kilometers south of Dunhuang City. At the foot of the mountain is a crescent bay that looks like a crescent moon. The spring is in quicksand, and the wind blows the sand for thousands of years. Unfortunately, since the 1990s,
Since the 1990s, Danghe River and Crescent Spring, the source of the spring, have been cut off, and only manual measures can be taken to maintain the current situation of the spring.
When the sun sets, sitting on the sand dunes of Mingsha Mountain overlooking the crescent spring and facing the falling yen is a special taste.
Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, known as the "Museum on the Wall", is also a must-see. Although almost all the scriptures were sadly lost more than 100 years ago, Dunhuang murals originated in the Eastern Jin Dynasty still have great cultural value because of their huge scale and superb skills. The construction of scenic spots is also good, even if the flow of people is huge, it will not appear messy.
⑤ Kubuqi Desert
Address: Hangjinqi, Yikezhaomeng, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region
Kubuqi Desert is 400 kilometers long and 50 kilometers wide, just like a yellow dragon lying across three flags in the northern part of Ordos Plateau. It is the seventh largest desert in China and the closest desert to Beijing.
Kubuqi means "bowstring" in Mongolian. The vast desert and the 700-mile-long Yellow River form a huge golden bow, shooting sandstorms at Beijing.
Looking around, the desert is vast and the sand sea is vast. The magnificent Kubuqi desert has many vast natural landscapes, continuous sand dunes and a pure desert scene.
If you spend the night, you can also watch the boundless Milky Way, which is an excellent choice to experience the desert. Moreover, it is not difficult to cross and the hiking route is very mature, which is a good choice to experience the desert scenery.
The long river and the sunset are the most beautiful scenery here. As the sun sets, the afterglow of the setting sun falls on the golden desert, and tourists wander in the desert. There are many Jianghu stories, which seem to be staged and occasionally rustle, as if a lost story is being staged again.
