The Tengger Desert spans the endless desolation in search of the heart of the Earth

The Tengger Desert💝 spans the endless desolation in search of the heart of the Earth. 👉In one's lifetime, one must visit the Tengger Desert at least once, to look up at the vast stars, to look down at the wilderness of the desert, to use the ground as a bed and the sky as a blanket, to witness the grandeur of mountains and rivers that rival the seas✨ 🏜Tengger Desert 📍Located in the southwest of Alxa Left Banner, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and the central border of Gansu Province, it crosses the Great Wall to the south, reaches Helan Mountain to the east, and extends to Yabulai Mountain to the west. Covering an area of about 30,000 square kilometers, with an altitude of about 1200-1400 meters, it is the fourth largest desert in China. Inside the desert, sand dunes, lake basins, salt marshes, grass beaches, mountains, and plains are interspersed, and the vast flowing sands are like the boundless sky~ 👏Classic route: The route passes through Swan Lake, Wulan Lake, Suhaitu Lake, Sun Lake, and offers a distant view of Moon Lake, with numerous oases ✅Swan Lake A tranquil and serene desert lake nestled among the golden sandy sea like the sky above, it is also a home for migratory birds in the desert, with various migratory birds stopping here in March-April and September-October each year ✅Wulan Lake Hidden in the northern frontier of the desert, the 'heart of the Earth,' a string of pearl-like red lakes, with wine-red spots scattered among them, exuding an irresistible temptation~ ✅Suhaitu Lake About 16 kilometers away from Wulan Lake, today's Suhaitu Lake is nearly dried up, leaving only white salt alkali, sparse green vegetation, and an endless expanse of yellow sand, desolate and quiet ✅Sun Lake The only freshwater lake in the Hoh Xil region, with white salt alkali outlining and yellow lake water filling, forms a peculiar abstract pattern ✅Moon Lake True to its name, the lake's surface resembles the shape of the moon, a crescent bay deep in the desert~
