Tengger Desert - Oasis Expedition

An unexpected desert rainstorm added a touch of mystery to our Tengger Desert journey. Although the Ulungur Lake lost its usual vibrancy after the rain, the heart of the earth from a drone's perspective is still breathtaking. Tengger Desert Transportation - Depart from Yinchuan city center at 7 am, arrive at the desert entrance by 9 am, return at 1 pm, and then be taken back to the hotel. - The cost includes 1000 yuan for off-road vehicle crossing the desert and 400 yuan for the shuttle from the city center to the desert entrance. - Additionally, a ticket fee of about 200 yuan must be paid to the local herdsmen. Mystery of the Five Lakes - We chose Moon Lake, Ulungur Lake (dark red), Camel Lake (pink), Hailuqi Lake, and Guitar Lake for our excursion. - Compared to the well-known Ulungur Lake, I have a special fondness for the pink Camel Lake, which has its own unique charm. Moon Lake Ulungur Lake Moon Lake Travel Tips There is no signal in the desert, so it is advised to prepare cash for ticket purchases. Since there are no clear roads in the desert, it is recommended to be led by an experienced driver to ensure safety. To avoid motion sickness, it is advisable to take motion sickness medicine in advance, as the off-road vehicle experience in the desert is comparable to a mountain roller coaster. Try to choose a sunny day for travel, as weather conditions greatly affect the viewing of natural landscapes, and the color of lakes can change after rain. Despite the less than ideal weather, this Tengger Desert trip still allowed us to experience the wonders of nature and the unique charm of the heart of the earth.
