Anonymous userThe scenery is quite nice, especially the area near the entrance. It's a bit chilly now that the weather is cold, and the wind is a bit chilly. There are fewer tourists, and the entrance fee and desert attractions are cheaper than Shapotou. Transportation is not very convenient for individual tourists, so you have to take a taxi.

153***09The Five Lakes Crossing: Starting and ending at the desert entrance, the route covers Luotuo Lake, Wulan Lake, Danhuang Lake, Hailiuqi Lake, and Jita Lake. The three-hour journey takes us to the edge of Luotuo Lake and Wulan Lake, where we even get to take aerial photos (though I only managed to take them 😂). We didn't get to the other three lakes directly, just observing them from a distance. If you're concerned about this, please be cautious and ask ahead of time. The main purpose of the trip is to experience desert off-roading. The driver was very skilled. The last three photos show the view from a distance.

my_way66This is the most recommended way to go to Helan Mountain. It is a full hiking experience. You can climb to the top of the fifth highest peak of Helan Mountain. There are several boarding points. You can choose the most convenient one. This time I climbed to the top of Bafeng Peak and visited Nan Temple when I came down. The time was more than enough.
