We went there on our own, and no tickets were required along the way. On sunny days, the lake was blood red, which was very beautiful. On cloudy days, it looked a bit like blue cheese. On clear nights, you can see the stars when you set up a tent. It's worth a visit.
Wulan Lake is located in the east of the Tengger Desert, the fourth largest desert in China. It has attracted much attention for its unique geographical features and colors. In different seasons and weather conditions, the color of Wulan Lake will change, sometimes as strong as blood, sometimes as light as clouds, adding a mysterious and charming color to this vast desert. 🎨
1. Best time🕰️
· Season selection: May to October every year is the best season to cross the Tengger Desert and visit Wulan Lake. During this period, the weather is more suitable and the vegetation in the desert is relatively lush, adding more vitality and vitality to the trip💖.
· Weather conditions: Try to choose sunny weather to go there, so that you can not only better appreciate the beautiful colors of Wulan Lake, but also take more shocking photos.

It was very smooth to take the highway from Wuhai (I took Provincial Highway 315 back, which was beautiful but easy to get a flat tire...), the scenic area is indeed very remote, if you are entering the scenic area by car, just choose the middle route and drive to the second gate to change to a sightseeing car.
Notes:
1. There is only one dry toilet at the main entrance and the second entrance of the scenic area (no water, but there is a big garbage pit below, and everyone pulls into the pit...)
2. If you pass the Beijing-Tibet Expressway from Wuhai, you will pass a gas station (there seem to be 3), where you can go to the toilet. If possible, go to the gas station to go to the toilet and fill up the gas
3. On the way back, we took Provincial Highway 315. There was no signal, no toilet, and no gas along the way. You need to pay attention to safety and drive slowly. The road conditions are not good and there are potholes that are easy to burst. Although the scenery is really beautiful, it is safer to rent an off-road vehicle if possible
4. The scenic area's sightseeing car will take you to the end where the sightseeing car can be driven. After getting off the car, there is a dream bridge. If you walk forward, there is a very open area that is very beautiful. Don't miss it
5. Choose a good weather time to go. Pay attention to mosquito repellent in summer. Bring mineral water and dry food. There is no supply along the way
6. Try to leave a full day for this scenic spot, otherwise it will be very rushed
7. The scenic spot is dirty and broken, and the management is relatively rough. Be mentally prepared. It is indeed a very primitive scenic spot
Very unique canyon landscape. The left route requires climbing a little mountain. The underground water veins and frogs are very surprising. You can take a battery car on the middle route. The price has increased to 20 yuan. There are many strange rocks, but I don’t have much imagination to see them.
Internal service needs to be improved.

There are many highlights of Tonghu grassland, surrounded by sand dunes, but the green grass due to the desert lake, one side is the vast grassland, the other is the golden desert, the grassland and the desert wonderful blend of the scenery is a must. You can experience interesting projects such as camel riding, sandboarding, desert surfing, and Mongolian singing and dancing performances, bonfire parties, and you can immerse yourself in the national customs. If you have enough time, stay for one night and enjoy the desert starry sky for a more complete experience.
It belongs to Inner Mongolia, with grassland and sandy land, and a bonfire party at night. The scenic spot needs to take a shuttle bus. There are sheep and camels in the grassland, not far from Zhongwei. After going to Shapotou, you can go around, about an hour.

Experience living in a tent in the desert, riding a camel and some other entertainment projects, super cool, the weather is quite good these two days, you can blow the cool breeze at night to see the sunset, super romantic, the staff service attitude is super good, now off-season, tents are not expensive, super cost-effective.
Self-driving through the utv desert, you can see the dunes in the deeper. If you are lucky, you may encounter small animals in the desert. There will also be a special team leader to take us out. It may be a professional route. You will see a good flag along the way. This is quite good. Not afraid to get lost.
