I really didn’t expect this to be in the desert of Inner Mongolia.

Crossing the five lakes in the Alxa Desert really refreshed my understanding. It turns out that the desert is not just boundless yellow sand, but there are also many lakes with different colors and shapes. Especially from the perspective of aerial photography, the large and small lakes are so beautiful that we have to marvel at the magic and beauty of nature. 📍Alxa Desert, Alxa Left Banner, Inner Mongolia ✈️The plane lands at Alxa Airport or Yinchuan Airport √Five Lakes Crossing The route is basically: start from the cross-country camp, enter the desert cross-country, then pass through many lakes, and finally arrive at the Desert Park, the venue of the Alxa Heroes Association, and return to the camp at the end. The entire journey takes about 4 hours. If you go in at three or four in the afternoon, you can just watch the sunset in the desert🌅 ❗️It should be noted that only specialized off-road vehicles can enter the desert. Ordinary vehicles cannot drive by themselves, so it is best for tourists to find a driver/tour leader. They often travel through the desert, have good driving skills and are familiar with the roads. They can find many lakes in the desert. Can arrange routes and itineraries. For example, I went to these lakes: Ulan Lake: The lake is red and orange, and the "heart of the earth" is here Luotuo Lake: shaped like a camel🐫, the lake water is light yellow Egg Yolk Lake: It looks like an egg yolk and is also egg yellow in color. Guitar Lake: shaped like a guitar🎸, the lake water is yellowish brown In addition to these lakes for taking pictures, the biggest highlight of the Five Lakes is desert off-roading. The driver drives the off-road vehicle ups and downs and stumbles in the desert, taking us to experience the excitement of crossing the desert. We can also take pictures on the dunes or play sandboarding, etc. , very interesting🤔 🏨Accommodation: Hotels in Alxa Zuoqi are very cheap. We stayed at Himton Alxa Hotel. The room for 200+ per day also included breakfast. The breakfast was very rich. I love their haggis soup! 🏜️Desert Travel ❗️tips ✅The desert has a large temperature difference between day and night, so be sure to prepare a thick coat ✅The ultraviolet rays are strong, so prepare sunscreen and hydrating skin care products ✅The sand dunes are slippery and easy to twist, so it is recommended to prepare socks! ✅The sand is very fine, so be sure to take precautions with your camera or drone!
