Tengger Desert

Solo trekking through the Tengger Desert in Inner Mongolia. This was a surreal, unreaĺ, immensely difficult task but remains one of my proudest accomplishments to date Located in the far Northwest of China the Tengger Desert is a vast empty area of wilderness there is nothing around except for desolate sand. However this doesn't mean it's without charm. It's actually nice in it's own way. With a real sense of nature. There is beauty here too with the sand dunes providing excellent backgrounds to the horizon. Challenge yourself to a once in a lifetime experience and something you'll never forget #bucketlistreboot #desert #china #mongolia

Our 3day Tengger desert tour started from Yinchuan, the red lake had to be it's superhighlight😊 Well, you can compare real pictures (August) with the first one from the drone the tour guide shared (captured somewhen in spring) 😁 Still it was a superhighlight, though a bit (MUCH🤭) smaller than expected and overadvertised. The stop at the lake was a few hours (we had more time, as we rented camels to catch up with the rest of the group) The water and surface were extremely hot 🔥 Still recommend to have this great experience: not so many red lakes on the planet #redlake, #yinchuan #ningxia

In the Tengger Desert, in addition to the Moon Lake and Swan Lake, which everyone knows, there is also a lake. This is a relatively original scenic spot. When it is not the peak season, there are no ones. The car is in the desert, it feels great, the lake should be a saline-alkali lake, and the blue sky and white clouds reflect the beauty of the lake. The lake is in a small basin in the desert, where a small ecosystem is embarked, and the feeling of the wetlands is worth a visit.

I came to Minqin Desert Sculpture Park and saw the desert for the first time. Although the sand is very thick, I am very happy to see such a scene. Later, I went to the Desert TUV in the Tengger Desert. I felt like I was riding a roller coaster. I was responsible for the screaming, because I always felt that the car was going to fall, but it didnt fall. In fact, the ability of this car to catch sand is very good. Strong, don't worry at all. Unexpectedly, on the way back, I saw the "Desert in the Desert" crew shooting in the desert. It was very interesting to take a look at the plane.

The perks: Great weather, extremely photogenic (seeing beautiful scenery makes one happy). The Little Swan Lake and Sun Lake at sunset are incredibly beautiful... The desert turns a reddish-brown under the setting sun, which is extremely picturesque. Suggestions: The desert has a significant temperature difference between day and night. Be sure to wear a hat during the day when trekking. There's no need to wear too much during the day; I myself wear a quick-drying shirt and a softshell jacket (with thin cotton lining). Shoes!! A pair of suitable shoes for desert trekking is very important!! Final suggestion: Travel with someone. Being alone is liberating, but taking photos is too troublesome, having to adjust the angle back and forth

🌄【Heart of the Desert】🌅 In the vast sea of sand, I found my peace. Here, every grain of sand seems to tell a story of a thousand years, and I am just one of the listeners.👂 🏜️ Walking among the dunes, I feel the awe-inspiring work of nature. Each step leaves a deep imprint, as if telling the world: I was here, I witnessed.📸 🌅 At sunset, the sky is painted golden. I stand quietly on the dune, watching the sun slowly set, filled with emotion. In this moment, time seems to stand still, with just me and this desert.🕰️ 🌟 Here, I feel the fragility and beauty of life. The desert, a place that seems desolate, contains endless vitality.🌱

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.

Folks, I don't know what you think, but regular travel can't satisfy me anymore. I like flexibility, freedom, returning to the essence of travel, not just an ordinary day, an ordinary trip, without any passion. In Tengger, I found my own way of traveling. Following the leader, riding in an off-road vehicle, driving into the vast Tengger Desert, shuttling through the large and small sand dunes, looking for that touch of Ulan red in the desert. Yes, Ulan Lake, a unique red lake in the Tengger Desert. You must have seen all kinds of lakes, but what about lakes in the desert? Red lakes in the desert? It's a bit incredible to think about it, but actually, there's nothing to it. It's just that the bottom of the lake has special minerals, so its color will be different. I would call this process 'travel'. By the way, if you want to come here, remember to take motion sickness medicine if you get car sick, haha, because the sand dunes are really bumpy.
