The most magical landscapes in the world are in China. 🫀

This year, the Badain Jaran Desert in Inner Mongolia and the Beijing Central Axis were both added to the World Heritage List. This desert, located on the Alxa Plateau, covers an area of about 47,000 square kilometers and features a variety of natural landscapes such as sand mountains and dunes. There are also hundreds of lakes scattered throughout the desert, presenting a myriad of colors. 🚗Transportation: The nearest airport is Alxa Left Banner Airport, which has few direct flights, so you usually need to transfer in Hohhot. You can also go to Zhangye or Jinchang first, then drive from Badain Jaran Town, which takes about 1 hour. ✅Travel tips: • The desert climate is dry, so bring plenty of water and prepare high-calorie snacks such as chocolate and beef jerky. • The desert has strong ultraviolet rays, so be sure to take sun protection measures and bring sunglasses and sunscreen. • When playing by the lakes, don't get too close to prevent getting stuck in the mud. 🚗The recommended route is Badain Jaran Town ➡️ Bicolor Lake ➡️ Red Lake ➡️ Alatutu ➡️ Desert Everest ➡️ Fairy Peak ➡️ Yindertu ➡️ Double Lake. 📷Recommended photo spots: • Bicolor Lake: The deep blue and rose red lakes collide but do not mix, creating a beautiful landscape in the desert and making people marvel at the magical creativity of nature. • Red Lake: The pink lake is known as the "Rose Sea". Overlooking from the air, it is like the heart of the desert, full of romance and mystery. • Alatutu: The Red Lake Camp is a good place to stay overnight. Here you can enjoy the starry sky and the spectacular desert sunrise. • Bilutu Peak: Known as "Desert Everest", it has a slope of nearly 45° and a relative height of nearly 500 meters. Standing on the top of the mountain and looking at the vast desert, the shock is beyond words. • Double Lake: Sit on the sand dunes and quietly watch the sunset with the oasis and the lake. The setting sun shines on the lake, which is particularly romantic. The Badain Jaran Desert is waiting for you to explore its natural wonders and unique charm.
