You might also want to ask⬇️
❓ Is there a signal in the desert?
Although there is basically no signal in the desert, you can only find a network on high dunes. Remember to inform your family and friends before you go!
❓ How about toilets?
Campsites are equipped with public toilets
❓ Will there be sandstorms?
There are almost no sandstorms in the Tengger Desert in summer, so sandstorms are unlikely to occur
❓ Can I travel independently?
Not recommended! It's easy to get lost in the desert, and it's very dangerous to be in the desert with insufficient supplies or physical strength! It's safer and more reliable to play with a regular group, with support and supply vehicles accompanying you all the way. You can have three meals a day with both meat and vegetarian options, eat hot meals, and even take hot showers!
