NOELLE CURRY

Unattainable beauty/ Crossing the desolate beauty of the Gobi Desert and Yardang

🚗 Fill up the car and drive straight from 'Lenghu Town' to 'Mars No.1 Highway', bumping all the way to the Mars camp 90 kilometers away. 🧑‍🌾 My companion said that this road is much better than last year, it seems to have been repaired, otherwise the 90-kilometer distance took nearly 3 hours, its charm is also here, otherwise people will not come one after another, ☝️ the desert meadow, quicksand and Yardang landscape are intertwined, it is the most rough and attractive scenery in the world. 🧩 About 64 kilometers on the 'Mars No.1 Highway' is a fork in the road, turn right to go to Mars Base, turn left to Dachaidan, since we are here, we decided to turn right and drive about 27 kilometers to Mars Base. There are quite a few cars waiting to enter the Mars exploration journey at noon. The base has a space capsule-style hotel but the price is not cheap 1200 yuan/bed, it can also solve a simple meal, in such a place the price, taste and quality are better than expected. Key reminder‼️: 🖇️ The Mars exploration journey costs 500 yuan/car, the car body is labeled with the eye-catching 'Mars Explorer' logo, if you want to spend the night inside, add 300 yuan/car. 📌 Provide precise positioning navigation equipment to carry with the car and track with Mars Bureau at all times, send out contact request in case of situation, and the navigation equipment will also introduce the viewing spots along the way. 📍 Rent a double tent (including air cushion, blanket and sleeping bag) for 200 yuan/set. 🛑 The core part 'Ebolian' has a sign to turn in after going deep into a section of the road, the whole journey is a closed loop according to the navigation, return at 'Volcano Lake'. Originally rented a tent to spend the night inside but the wind was too strong that day and withdrew, Mars Bureau also timely refunded 300 yuan. It was getting late, so we set up a tent and cooked in front of the Mars Bureau, and the staff also helped when they were off work👍. 🩸 Surprise: 👁️ At night, I saw the long-lost starry sky, so beautiful, so beautiful, undisturbed encounter, that is the valuable longing, the Milky Way like a chain, the Big Dipper like a spoon, these are all distant in memory, it's a pity that we didn't bring a camera to take pictures🫣. 🌞 The next morning, we drove out of the Mars camp and headed for Dachaidan, leaving a memorial under another sign of 'Mars No.1 Highway', thinking it was the end, but the mileage was infinite '♾', meaning that the journey of life is still in the endless distance🏃🏻‍♂️.
