More beautiful than Crescent Lake, the sand mountain lakes in the desert, loved by 99% of people

A pure, natural, and undeveloped treasure—the sea in the desert! Half lake, half sand, it's like a pearl in the Sahara Desert. 😍 👉 The itinerary here is very rich and diverse. You can admire the majestic Gangshika snow peaks from afar, enjoy the colorful Danxia landforms, taste a wine dinner, explore Dunhuang's Mogao Caves and the Crescent Lake in the singing sand dunes, traverse no-man's lands, experience the internet-famous glass boat on the Emerald Lake, and even visit the Chaka Salt Lake and Qinghai Lake, etc., which will definitely make you linger and forget to return! 🌄💦 📍 This desert lake, reminiscent of the Sahara, is located in the Badain Jaran Desert in Alxa League, Ejina Banner, Inner Mongolia, about 2 kilometers from the entrance to the Badain Jaran Desert. 🚗 The way to get there is very convenient. You just need to reach Badao Bridge and communicate with the desert off-road vehicle team. The team will arrange for an off-road vehicle to take you to the closest point to the lake viewing area. The car fare is about 180 yuan per person, and if there are more people, you can even bargain.

After the car takes you into the desert, the driver will return, and when you finish your visit, you can call the team, and they will come to pick you up again. Remember where you got off, as that's where you'll get back on, because there are few suitable parking areas due to the high dunes. 🔹2⃣ When going to the desert, travel light, and don't forget to bring your mobile phone and enough water, as water loss is faster in the desert. You can also prepare some dry food in case of emergency! 🔹3⃣ The UV rays in the desert are strong, and there is no shade, so be sure to do physical sun protection. Try to avoid entering the desert at noon! 🔹4⃣ Trekking through the desert can be tiring. When climbing sand dunes, pay attention to your physical strength, and when admiring the lakes, do so within your limits. It is not recommended to play for more than 2 hours at a time. 🔹5⃣ Pay attention to travel in groups and be sure to return before sunset, as there may be wolves at night. So, if you're not like the other 99% of people and want to witness this hidden beauty like the Sahara Desert with your own eyes, hurry up and take a trip to the great northwest of Inner Mongolia and Gansu! Don't forget to bring your camera and friends to explore this natural paradise! 📷🦅🌅
