based on 20 reviews"From Urumqi, take the train and then transfer to the bus to the desert. This desert is relatively close to the city and easy to reach. I originally wanted to come with a day group, but later found that it was easy to come over. So I decided to travel freely, and the time and place I wanted to play can also be freely controlled. Buy tickets and eco-cars in advance. The desert is relatively large, and you can take the eco-car directly into the park to the innermost part of the desert. There are fewer people and it is very comfortable to play."Shanshan23.3km from downtownHighlights: “Kumtag” means “Sand Mountain” in the Uyghur language. The Kumtag Desert is formed by the tempestuous winds from Tianshan's Qijiaojing Wind Gap and the Dabancheng Wind Gap. After a long journey, the sand that has been carried in the wind collides and deposits in the Kumtag area, forming a desert with various sand dunes. The Kumtag Desert has been developed into a scenic area integrating scientific research, investigation, exploration, sand sports and desert tourism. Looking south from the old town of Shanshan, the golden desert rolls endlessly into the horizon. For thousands of years, the desert and the oasis have coexisted like royal lovers.Show Less - 6.44.3/5232 Review"I was not ready to come to this scenic spot at all, but when I saw the Flame Mountain plus the scenic spot, I decided to go to the back of Flame Mountain to see this scenic spot.
