Dry but not lonely!
In the heart of the vast and mystical region of Gansu, there lies a hidden gem that awaits the intrepid souls seeking adventure and wonder. Its name is Mingsha Mountain, a place where nature's grandeur collides with ancient legends, creating an atmosphere that is both awe-inspiring and exhilarating.
As you set foot on the golden sands of Mingsha Mountain, a sense of anticipation fills the air. The towering sand dunes, reaching heights of up to 500 meters, beckon you to conquer their mighty slopes. With each step, the shifting grains beneath your feet create a symphony of sound, as if the very earth itself is whispering tales of past conquerors and explorers.
The wind, a constant companion in this desert playground, adds an extra layer of excitement to your adventure. It dances through the air, sculpting the dunes into ever-changing forms, as if nature herself is playing an intricate game of hide-and-seek. With each gust, the sand swirls around you, creating a mesmerizing spectacle that is both beautiful and humbling.
But Mingsha Mountain is not just a place for adrenaline-pumping activities. It is also a sanctuary for those seeking solace and tranquility. As the sun dips below the horizon, painting the sky with vibrant hues of orange and purple, the desert transforms into a place of serene beauty. The silence is deafening, broken only by the soft rustling of the wind and the occasional call of a desert creature. It is in these moments of stillness that you can truly connect with the ancient spirit of this mystical place.
For the history buffs, Mingsha Mountain holds countless tales of the past. Legend has it that the sand dunes got their name from the sound they make when the wind blows through them, resembling the delicate tinkling of bells. And if you listen closely, you might just hear the echoes of those who came before, the whispers of explorers and traders who once traversed these sands on their fabled Silk Road journeys.
As you leave Mingsha Mountain, your heart is filled with a sense of gratitude and wonder. You have witnessed the raw power and beauty of nature, and you have felt the indomitable spirit of those who dared to venture into the unknown. Mingsha Mountain, with its vast sand dunes and ancient legends, has left an indelible mark on your soul, reminding you of the boundless adventures that await those who are willing to seek them.

WHITE SAND DUNES MUI NE, VIETNAM!!
Getting There
White Sand Dunes is a bit far from the Ho Chi Minh City, it will take 5-6 hours by train and 4-5 hours by bus. But there are no train station at the Mui ne so you have to stop at the Binh Thuan and get a taxi from there. It will take 1 hours to get ti Mui Ne from the Binh Thuan station.
There are 3 options for reaching the White Sand Dunes from Mui Ne.
1. Motorbike
2. Bicycle
3. Tour jeep
So you can choose what best for you.
Attractions
1. You can ride an ATV
2. Sliding down sand dune by using board
3. Watching the sunset or sunrise
Hotels
I highly recommend Sandunes Beach Resort & Spa you can simply just walk to Red Sand Dunes and 30 minutes to White Sand Dunes by motorbike.

Vietnam and Deserts
Unknown to many, there are deserts in Vietnam. There is a White Dune, but then there's a Red Dune. Both are located at the province of Binh Thuan, nearby the provincial capital of Phan Thiet. These mini deserts are nearby to the sea and river. Beautiful sands and nearby dragon fruit plantations stretch as far as the eyes can see. Nearby Mui Ne beach is a good place to relax after a full day of desert hopping.
Don't forget to bring your sun tan lotion !#awesomepic #vietnam #desert #phanthiet #muinebeach #binhthuan
From Diamonds to Dust: Namibia’s Ghost town
Here is a possible instagram blog post for you:
👋 Hey everyone, I just visited Kolmanskop, a ghost town in the Namib desert that was once a rich diamond mining village 🤩
👻 Kolmanskop was founded in 1908 when a railway worker named Zacherias Lewala found a diamond and showed it to his German boss. Soon, people flocked to the area to dig for more 💎
🏠 The town had a hospital, a ballroom, a theatre, a casino, and even an ice factory. It was like a little piece of Germany in the middle of the desert 🇩🇪
🌵 But by the 1930s, the diamonds ran out and people moved away. The town was abandoned in 1956 and the desert reclaimed it 🐫
📸 Now, Kolmanskop is a tourist attraction where you can see the sand-filled houses and imagine what life was like back then. It's also a photographer's paradise with the contrast of bright colors and desert landscapes 🌅
🙌 I had an amazing time exploring this unique place and learning about its history. If you ever get a chance to visit Namibia, don't miss Kolmanskop! It's truly one of a kind 😍

The Son of The Earth🌎
This giant 3D baby sculpture is an artwork hidden in the middle of the Gobi Desert in Dunhuang, China.
Made by Professor Dong Shubing, the director of the Sculpture at Tsinghua University, the artwork carries the hope that mankind can interact with the environment in a harmonious way, just as the baby sleeps tenderly amongst the sandy horizon.
Because of its grand size, many also interpret the child as a showcase of the greatness of maternal love.
Standing next to this masterpiece, I was captivated by the unorthodox expression of human creativity.
The baby pushed me to reflect deeply on my own life and my interaction with nature, because like any art work, this sculpture contained the power to elevate us to mentally, spiritually, and physically.
📍Dunhuang, Gansu, China

The Pinnacles Desert - Perth, Australia
The Pinnacles Desert in Perth is a unique and awe-inspiring natural wonder that is well worth a visit.
Located in the Nambung National Park, it features thousands of limestone pillars rising from the sand, creating an otherworldly landscape. What’s more, you can drive your way into the desert and marvel at these unusual rock spires up close!
It’s about two hours drive from Perth, and entry fees apply. The desert is open from 5:30am to 4:30pm daily, and I would recommend you to visit during the cooler months (April - September).

A Train in the Desert
In the desert of Zhongwei, there is a unique static train hotel that is definitely worth staying for a few nights.
The train has very cosy rooms and has wonderful views of the desert of Zhongwei in Ningxia province.
In the desert you can play in the sand dunes or drive a 4x4 over the desert sand for much fun.
The train is located in Tenggeli desert in Zhongwei city. It is reached by train or plane.

Discover old and new Dubai
In 2018, Dubai became an exclusive attraction richer. The 150-meter-high Dubai Frame tells the story of the origin of the Emirate, but also shows the ultra-modern future.
Take the elevator up and enjoy the panoramic view. In the north you see the old area Deira with the Dubai Creek, in the east the Arabian desert, in the south the new Dubai with the Burj Khalifa and in the west the Persian Gulf.
The golden frame is of course also the perfect backdrop for that perfect photo you've always wanted.

Extreme hiking
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

Desert inspiration 🏜🐫
A place to frolic, indulge, connect and create. Mind, spirit and body rejuvenated in an atmosphere of beauty and care for the natural surroundings… this is what Al Maha, A Luxury Collection Desert Resort & Spa stands for ❤️🌎🦌🍃
As a resort accommodation, the Bedouin-style luxury of Al-Maha is unparalleled… from the all-villa (with pool!), full board concept to its personalised, white glove type service - which I lapped up, of course 🥂
In terms of eco-sustainability, it lies at the heart of the Dubai Conservation Reserve, taking up only 0.2% of the area for development. The rest is protected for the cultivation of native plants (some 6,000 acacia, sidr and gaff are planted by them) and for animals like the Oryx.
Guests get to appreciate the local fauna and flora up close and personal, with native wildlife like
deer roaming their villa compound and complimentary experiences that are educational, such as the nature desert walk and morning falconry demonstrations- both must do’s in my book! 😎

Overlooking Canyonlands National Park
Taken from Dead horse point overlook which is the state park of Utah in untied states, Moab.
There are several hiking trails here, the hike to dead horse point is a total of 16km if you take all the spurs but 8km if you take none. The overlook are gorgeous and breathtaking but do be very cautious as these overlooks are not fenced up. At times it might be slippery due to rain. There are several overlooks here that you can explore before you reach dead horse point outlook are:
- Big Horn Overlook
- Rim Overlook
- Shafer Canyon Overlook
- Meander Overlook
There are also several arches in the state park, the popular one would be the Mesa Arch in the pictures attached and another would be the delicate arch which will be in another post.
But if you are lazy, you can just drive all the way up to dead horse point overlook, park there and head to the little outlooks around the carparks. The drive though, can take from 30mins to a few hours depending on your interest and stop points. So make sure you plan your trip there.
There will be an entrance fee of $10USD for each vehicle entering the park.

🌵Kubuqi Desert in INNER MONGOLIA
This place is probably where I’ve had most fun in all of China! In this area of the Kubuqi Desert you will find 3 main things:
🛏 lodging
🍗 food
🏎 quads
and all of it is absolutely incredible, cost for benefit, entertaining, and relaxing at the same time. Let’s go by parts.
🛏 LODGING
Here there are some containers - yes, actual containers - that have been transformed into nice little rooms. These containers were a 10/10 and so much nicer than other hotels I had paid double the amount for in other cities in Inner Mongolia. The rooms were super clean and tidy, equipped with AC, had a ~huge~ and comfortable bed, nice sheets, an excellent shower with warm water, and even some basic toiletries. They also offered some snacks like instant noodles, cookies, and water for an extra charge. The curtains were black out, so we were able to sleep very well and wake up at a reasonable time the next day. Each night cost around ¥200.
🍗FOOD
A few meters ahead of the container rooms, there is a little central restaurant. I believe it’s family owned, so everyone around is super nice and tried to cater to all our needs. We pre-ordered a lamb leg (typical Inner Mongolia dish) in the afternoon and they would prepare it by dinner time. They had several options for side dishes and although some were out of stock, everything they served was delicious. Reasonable price for a great amount of food. And they also had Wi-Fi there!
🏎QUADS
The best part. You can rent the quads by the hour, but since it was quiet and we were pretty much the only laowais there, the owners were super relaxed about time and just let us have our fun. The reason this was the best part is because as soon as we got on them and asked how far we could go, the owner just said “whatever, have fun”! We were able to drive around the ~huge~ desert area and explore all the hills! It was truly an unforgettable experience and so worth every rmb!
🌟 This is also where I’ve seen the most beautiful, starry night sky in China. It took my breath away and it was refreshing to just take some minutes to lay on the cold sand and observe the sky.

Would you rather ride a Horse or a Camel?
Would you rather sleep inside a modern Yurt or camp in a desert?
Why not do all of them?
Ride a horse, ride a camel, stay in a yurt (with hot shower), camp in a desert, and experience a totally different side of China in Inner Mongolia!
Inner Mongolia 内蒙古, Nèi Měnggǔ or in Mongolian: Öbür mongɣul, is a Mongol Autonomous Region in northern China, whereas Outer Mongolia is a separate country to the north of China.
We visited the Xilamuren grassland, Kubuqi desert, and I extended the trip to stay overnight in Hohhot -a surprisingly VERY modern and thriving city (they have large malls and shared-scooter, not bike!)
Be ready for some long bus ride during the trip, the area is huge! We were only visiting a tiny bit of Inner Mongolia, the birthplace of Genghis Khan. There are definitely a LOT more to see.
I’ll let the photos speak for themselves.
Tips: for best experience (with clear starry sky night during your desert camp), plan your trip when in non-rainy months! Oh, and get ready to be a cat during your camp in the desert. Just gotta say, it’s a giant litter-box, if you know what I meant.
Getting There - take a flight to Hohhot and take a connecting bus ride to the grassland / desert area.
Attractions - Mongolian Yurt, Mongolian horse ride, Desert camping, and lots of fun!
Hotels - Hohhot has a lot of modern hotels, but obviously you’ll need to find those Yurt hotels.
Food & Restaurants - Mongolian foods typically very meaty: lamb, beef, and its produce: milk, yogurt, cheese; and also hotpot! (warning: their milk tea is salty; need to ask for sweet version).
Shopping - Traditional trinkets & souvenirs.
Vegan Friendliness - can be requested in a typical Chinese foods restaurant, but not so much in the traditional Yurt’s Zhama Banquet dinner.
