    "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."

    "It may be the reason for the afternoon. There are not many people in the scenic spot. People who have never seen the desert can come and see it. The scenery of the sand and lake is very good. The Tarim River flows through the scenic spot, but the water flow is very small, which easily triggers people's thinking about protecting the environment. The scenic spot service is very good and the shuttle bus is more convenient. But there is no place to check the range ticket, I don't know what the difference is with the single scenic spot ticket."
