Folks, I don't know what you think, but regular travel can't satisfy me anymore. I like flexibility, freedom, returning to the essence of travel, not just an ordinary day, an ordinary trip, without any passion. In Tengger, I found my own way of traveling. Following the leader, riding in an off-road vehicle, driving into the vast Tengger Desert, shuttling through the large and small sand dunes, looking for that touch of Ulan red in the desert. Yes, Ulan Lake, a unique red lake in the Tengger Desert. You must have seen all kinds of lakes, but what about lakes in the desert? Red lakes in the desert? It's a bit incredible to think about it, but actually, there's nothing to it. It's just that the bottom of the lake has special minerals, so its color will be different. I would call this process 'travel'. By the way, if you want to come here, remember to take motion sickness medicine if you get car sick, haha, because the sand dunes are really bumpy.

Today I'm going to share with you, this article mainly talks about a few recommended points and a few points to avoid, for your reference Let's talk about the recommended points first: 1⃣️🏜️Immersive desert crossing experience, sand rushing, sand sliding, very exciting The last time I went to the northwest was a self-driving trip to Dunhuang in 2014, but the desert area of Mingsha Mountain is actually very small, I have no experience of long-term trekking in the desert. The feeling of rushing down the dunes and walking in the sand sea is really cool. 2⃣️The scenery of the five lakes is really beautiful Around May 1st, the lake water has not turned red yet, but even if it is red, without aerial photography, you can't see the complete shape in the promotional pictures, standing by the lake, watching the water birds on the shore, looking at the sand dunes in the distance, the desolation and solemnity make people feel awe. 3⃣️🌲Probably the closest I've been to my Ant Forest Haloxylon in this life Belonging to the same Alxa League, although there is still a distance of 100 kilometers, I guess there will be no closer opportunity in the future Then the part to avoid: 1⃣️People who get carsick, be careful! Believe me, if you get carsick before, you will definitely vomit when you ride in an off-road vehicle... One is because sand rushing itself has a serious sense of weightlessness, and the sand is very soft, the car will sway left and right when it passes, plus all the drivers in the team are wild Inner Mongolian brothers... The desert crossing takes about 4 hours in total, at the beginning, the big brother happily drove the desert roller coaster. After I couldn't help vomiting once halfway through the trip, the driver brother obviously converged a lot, and the brakes were very diligent 2⃣️The lake water will turn red only in summer, and it's really ordinary to see with the naked eye on May 1st Although you can't see the effect without aerial photography, after all, everyone is going for the promotional pictures, if you want to see the lake water in the promotional pictures, you must choose the right time. 3⃣️The half-day itinerary is very rushed, and the routes and projects promised by the travel agency may not all be realized After the car enters the desert, the itinerary is actually set by the team, so in order to save time, the time to stay at each lake is very short, and the things written in the product promotion like taking pictures at the alien camp, internet celebrity afternoon tea, etc. did not go. I personally don't care, but if you are interested in these two items, you must confirm with the travel agency before signing up 4⃣️Be sure to watch the temperature! The wind in the desert is particularly strong, if the temperature is low, you can't take off your coat and take pictures in a beautiful dress I happened to catch a big drop in temperature when I went this time, the daytime temperature was only in single digits, and there was no way to take off my coat and pose Although there are regrets about this five-lake crossing, I am still very happy. If I go to the desert again next time, I think I will choose to stay in the camp for one night to watch the stars~ The five-lake crossing also has two-day and three-day itineraries, there will be hiking routes, so you won't get carsick so badly, you can consider it I had a meal of Guoqiang's hand-grabbed meal when I returned to the city in the evening, and the sand onion eight-treasure tea oil noodles were so worth it!

| The ultimate guide to crossing the Five Lakes. I encountered a pink heart in the desert💖| The ultimate guide to crossing the Five Lakes📝 Opening thoughts: All photos are unedited, straight from the drone's camera! At first, when I saw those pictures online, to be honest, I also doubted whether these were the true colors of the lakes in the desert. But when I saw it with my own eyes and the drone took off, I could only marvel at the wonders of nature! If you're in Yinchuan or Zhongwei, you must come to Alxa to experience the magical route of crossing the Five Lakes! 1. Detailed explanation of the Five Lakes crossing route This route is quite mature, located in the desert near Alxa Left Banner - Hero Meeting Place. The whole journey is an exciting desert off-road, not suitable for self-driving, you have to charter a car and find a local leader. 🌟 The most beautiful is Wulan Lake (it's simply a lifelike heart, pictures 1-2); 🌟 Emerald Eye Lake (looks just like an eye👁️, with a greenish hue to the water, picture 3); 🌟 Camel Lake (a tender pink lake, picture 4); 🌟 Guitar Lake (shaped like a guitar, picture 5); 🌟 Swan Lake (blue water, next to the desert and green trees, picture 5); 🌟 The abandoned old car field at the Hero Meeting Place, super suitable for shooting road movies, but we didn't know before and didn't bring a camera📷, I suggest dressing cool and taking lots of photos here (pictures 6-7); 🌟 There are also other lakes, such as Egg Yolk Lake, Mandarin Duck Lake, etc., but due to different seasons, some lakes may disappear or not look as nice. 2. Thoughtful tips and hints 💡 Try to enter the desert around 9 am! At this time, there are fewer people, the experience is excellent, and it's not too hot. In the afternoon, tour groups will enter the desert, and then the lakeside will be full of people and cars, which greatly reduces the experience (⚠️We specifically stayed in Alxa Left Banner for one night, tasted the hat barbecue and shaomai, super delicious! Highly recommended!); 💡 The two of us chose to charter a car, and the experience was worlds apart! Very free, the leader only needed to help us take pictures, no need to wait for others; 💡 No need to make a travel plan, the route is basically fixed, the key is to choose a good leader, the leader decides whether you will get carsick, how good the photo and video effects are, and whether you need to travel with several cars～ 💡 Definitely bring a drone✈️, the view from above is simply stunning, the leaders usually provide one, and even offer free shooting; 💡 We traveled by a single car, many times we were the only car in the desert, super free, if you like excitement, drive faster, if scared, drive slower🚗, it's a real test of the leader's driving skills (⚠️and many cars don't turn on the air conditioning, sand blows into the car, we kept the windows closed and air conditioning on all the way); (The driver for the Five Lakes crossing), the most important thing is the price is super reasonable (I asked many companies, and some were charging 2000 for the same route, really a black question mark⁉️), driving + explanation + drone shooting all the way (the shots are really great! Trust me, girls!).
