Xinjiang's Four Great Deserts: Traverse the Sands and Experience the Majestic Beauty

"The desert is vast and the smoke rises straight, the river is long and the sun sets round." The deserts of Xinjiang are a magnificent picture painted by nature for the brave and the dreamers. Are you ready to embark on this soul-stirring journey? Taklamakan Desert: The Millennium Legend of the Sea of Death Location: The center of the Tarim Basin in southern Xinjiang. It is the largest desert in China and the second largest mobile desert in the world, with the ancient Silk Road passing through it. Surrounded by high mountains, the vast sea of sand stretches endlessly. In the golden autumn, the poplar forests on the edge are golden and brilliant, shining with the desert. The mysterious ruins of the ancient Loulan Kingdom and Lop Nur add a touch of fantasy, making people imagine the glory of the past. Gurbantunggut Desert: The Miracle of Life in a Fixed Desert Location: The center of the Junggar Basin in northern Xinjiang, also known as the Junggar Basin Desert, is the largest fixed and semi-fixed desert in China. Here, the yellow sand stretches endlessly, but there are also forests of saxaul and blooming red willows. The mirage is dreamlike, the wind-eroded landforms are breathtaking, and adventure and life are intertwined here. Kumtag Desert: The Sand Sea Paradise by Shanshan Location: Southeast Xinjiang, adjacent to Dunhuang, Gansu. The unique "desert in the city" landscape is amazing because it is connected to the city. The desert and the oasis snuggle up to each other, the sand therapy is unique, and the entertainment projects such as sand sliding and off-road bring you to release your passion.
