National Geographic Taklamakan Desert Expedition

Today, I finally got a signal after coming out from the depths of the desert and reaching the new village of Riyabuyi. After living a wild life for two days, it was so fulfilling haha. Without a signal for these two days, I followed the ancient riverbed of the Keriya River deep into the heart of the desert, visiting the Dandan Uiliq and Karadong ruins along the way. I stayed one night in the old village of Daliyabuyi. Although the old village had no electricity, no internet, and no running water, there were still residents living there. Unexpectedly, in such a remote area, the few villagers still insisted on the flag-raising ceremony every Monday. It felt like all the villagers came together, and when we sang the national anthem together, there was an indescribable sense of emotion. I cried while singing. Now the state has built a new village with better conditions for the locals, and the old village occasionally hosts tourists. I must write an equipment guide after I rest a bit! National Geographic expeditions are not commercial tour groups you find on the market! They are not commercial tour groups!! Do not join with the mindset of being a city beauty, but rather think of yourself as a wild person. Although there is a logistics support vehicle throughout the journey, after all, it goes to places that ordinary tour groups cannot reach, and the degree of commercialization is definitely not high, even primitive. Although I haven't bathed for two days, and my hair can't be combed due to the wind and sun, I think it's very worthwhile to see the scenery that others can't see.
