We took the bus from Urumqi to Altakanas through Turpan and passed the Gurban Tonggut Desert, the third largest desert in Xinjiang. The desert edge was very desolate and almost worn by the Gobi Beach. There was also a salt lake on the way. From a distance, it looked like a mirror with white light. It reflects the sun's light....
China's second largest desert, said to be a desert, there are not many quicksands, more like a desert. There is no scenic spot, you can enter everywhere, off-road vehicles can drive in, it is said that you can find wild horses and wild donkeys in the depths, ordinary cars can't drive in.
The precipitation of the Gurbantonggut desert is more than that of the Taklamakan desert, the vegetation is well developed, the dunes stability is higher, and the north and south of the desert are winter pastures. Fixed and semi-fixed dunes account for 97% of the entire desert area, and are the largest fixed and semi-fixed desert in China. The overall geomorphological features of Gurbantonggut Desert are sandy desert, alpine and basin distribution, fixed, semi-fixed sand ridge and dune distribution.
The alpine belt of Junggar Basin is snowy all year round and glaciers stand; the middle and low mountain belts are full of precipitation, the seasonal snow is deep, the forest and meadow are lush, and the vegetation coverage is high; the precipitation in the hilly and mountain plains is drastically reduced, and the desertification is obvious; The Gurbantonggut Desert in the center of the basin has little annual precipitation, but due to seasonal snow and frozen soil, the desert grows and develops good sand plants. The Gurbantonggut Desert is located in the south-central Junggar Basin, with the longest east-west about 412 kilometers, the widest north-south about 220 kilometers, and the area is about 4.88 million square kilometers. It is the second largest desert in China and the largest block in the Junggar Basin.

South of the Lungu River, east of the Manas River is the main part of the northern Xinjiang, the Gurbantonggut Desert, and the rest are oasis in the lowlands in front of the mountains, but this is inaccurate, because there are still large Gobi beaches in the northern Xinjiang, We are not very sure about the specific scope of the Gobi Beach, but one thing is for sure, that the Gobi Beach must be the part of the transition from the oasis in front of the mountain to the Gurban Tongut Desert, and the famous Devil City is essentially Gobi.
