7th Biggest Desert in China 🇨🇳
#wecreate
When I say 7th biggest , it is actually the smallest desert in China but still way bigger than London City . Mindblowing! We did a private tour and a private tour guide so everything was very convenient. It was my first time riding a camel and it is an experience worth remembering. The jeep sand dune driving was so much fun. You'd only reach this area of the desert by a cable car first then once you arrive in the tourist area then you can enjoy all the activities there.
This place to be honest has become so commercial and touristy so temper your expectations. But if you can just enjoy the activities then you will probably have a good time there.
It is a 4-5 drive from hohhot.
TIP: Do bring Sunscreen and a hat if you don't want to be burnt.
Interesting and admirable fact: They managed to transform this part of kubuqi desert into wetlands where people can farm and live. It is very impressive.
Enjoy your desert experience.?
