China has a desert that is famous abroad, yet little known by its own people

🌈 In the northwest, there is a magical desert with more than 140 lakes of various sizes and colors, which is very charming. This is the Badain Jaran Desert. It has been named the most beautiful desert in China by 'China National Geography' and is known abroad, but little known by the Chinese people. The sand dunes in the desert are very beautiful, with various curves crisscrossing, ever-changing, while the tall sand mountains are steep and majestic. The Bilutu Peak, with an altitude of 1617 meters, is the world's highest sand peak, with a relative height difference of about 589 meters, known as the 'Everest of the Deserts', making it a sacred place in the hearts of many desert off-road pilgrims! 🔥 It is already a wonder that there are lakes in the desert, but the number of lakes here is quite large, and they are also colorful and dazzling. When sand dunes, sand peaks, lakes, light and shadow, homes, reeds, and various animals are interwoven together, the scene is like a beautiful painting, as if entering a fairy tale world! Some lakes turn red due to a type of microorganism, and the color also changes with the seasons (various shades of red) and dances with the light, so that each visit can be a delightful surprise! At the beginning of the hot summer, the melting ice and snow from the Qilian Mountains gradually fill the desert with water, making it the most beautiful time (pink color). Even so, each lake has its own temperament, and the color changes according to its own character. Some lakes are the reddest in May and June, while others are the most beautiful in August and September. If you want to capture their most stunning moments, you have to wait for the best light... 🔵 Ways to play: Off-road vehicles, most people visit for 2 days, requiring chartered cars, as it is easy to get stuck and lost in the desert, and an experienced desert driver is needed. 🍜 Food and accommodation: There are campsites by each lake for dining and lodging, and the accommodations generally have air conditioning and private bathrooms. ⚠️Tips: 🌿 Remember to take photos of the Milky Way, count the stars, and watch the moon at night, it's incredibly romantic 🌿 People with a history of motion sickness should not participate 🌿 When exactly do the Red Lakes turn red? This is related to the water level and light, some are very red in May and June, while others in August and September 🌿 The weather is hot, pay attention to sun protection and hydration 🌿 A drone perspective is better (Our driver was Has, a writer who drives in the desert. He provided various route options, provided sun umbrellas and chairs, provided sandboards that the kids loved, provided comfortable accommodations, and even took videos and photos for us with a drone. When we first entered the desert and were worried about the kids getting motion sickness, he stopped to let the kids play and adapt. Later, when he saw that the kids were in good spirits, he satisfied their requests to charge up the slopes. We watched the sunrise and sunset, saw several Red Lakes and oases, and listened to his childhood desert stories. It was perfect! )
