The Tengger Desert is China's fourth largest desert (about 43,000 square kilometers). It means "sky" in Mongolian. Its vast sea of sand and numerous lakes form a unique landscape. The golden sand dunes are like solidified waves, and the crescent-shaped and pyramid-shaped sand dunes are interlaced. The Ulan Lake "Heart of the Earth" and Swan Lake and other water towns in the desert add a magical touch12. Here you can ride a camel to experience the ancient charm of the Silk Road, and you can also experience the passion of desert off-roading. The starry sky and the Milky Way at night are particularly stunning45. Despite the dry climate, it breeds drought-resistant plants such as Haloxylon ammodendron and Ammopiptanthus sandii, as well as wild animals such as Goitered Gazelle, showing tenacious ecological vitality.
Tengger Desert, five lakes crossing, very straight, beautiful scenery, thrilling, not only can see the scenery but also play in the sand, sand sliding
It is very interesting, the scenery can only be seen for 2 months a year, and can only be seen in July and August every year, so don't miss it.

From Wuhai, the high-speed is very smooth. (Going back to the 315 provincial road, beautiful but really easy to burst the tire...), the scenic spot is really remote. If you enter the scenic spot, you can honestly choose the middle route and open to the second door to change the sightseeing bus. Notes: 1. There is only a dry toilet at the gate and the second entrance of the scenic spot (no water, there is a big garbage pit below, each pit is pulled to the lira...) 2. If the Beijing-Tibet Expressway passes from Wuhai, it will pass through the gas station (like there are 3), you can go to the toilet, if you can, go to the gas station to go to the toilet. Come on and fill up 3. On the way back, we took the 315 provincial road. There is no signal, no toilet, no refueling. You need to pay attention to safety and drive slowly. The road conditions are not good. There are pits and it is easy to burst the tire. Although the scenery is really beautiful, it is safer to rent an off-road vehicle if you can. 4. The sightseeing car in the scenic spot will be sent to you who can drive a sightseeing car. At the end, there is a dream bridge after getting off the bus. Then walk forward and there is a very open place. Don't miss it. 5. Go when the weather is good. In summer, pay attention to mosquito prevention. Bring mineral water and dry food. There is no supply all the way. 6. Try to leave a whole day for this scenic spot. Otherwise, it is very rushed. 7. The scenic spot is dirty and broken, the management is rough, and the psychological preparation is indeed a very original scenic spot.
Very distinctive canyon landscape, the left route needs to climb a little mountain, the groundwater veins and frogs are very pleasant, the middle route can take the battery car, the price has risen to 20 yuan, there are many strange stones, but I have no imagination to see it. Internal service needs to be strengthened.

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 grasslands and sandy land. There are bonfire parties at night. You need to take a shuttle bus to the scenic area. There are sheep and camels on the grassland. It is not far from Zhongwei. After visiting Shapotou, you can go for a walk. It takes 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.
