Show More ReviewsThe Yardang landforms can only be truly appreciated in person, experiencing the wonder of nature firsthand! Touch the black Gobi Desert, fine sand, and earthen mounds. The sightseeing bus has six stops, with the last stop offering a sunset view and a close-up experience. Some of the staff seem to be volunteers, offering to take photos for you!
