This tour visits the five lakes in the Tengger Desert. The main lake, Lake Ulan, turns red in the summer. The weather was nice and the view was a vivid red. If you get carsick, be prepared for explosions in the desert.

The Helan Mountain rock paintings are worth seeing. The creators were primarily ancient northern nomadic peoples, including the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Tujue, and Dangxiang. They carved their lives and beliefs into the stones during their herding, hunting, and migrations. The most famous is the Sun God, which can only be seen by climbing a small hill. You can also see many argali sheep running and leaping within the scenic area.

In the traditional impression, the desert is the zero of life. All we can imagine is its desolation and grandeur! But this is far from all the desert is about - when the sun sets, the undulating sand dunes are like golden waves, magnificent and gentle; and the blue Moon Lake is like a dazzling emerald, shining brightly in the vast desert!

Self-driving tour from Ningxia, climbing over the Helan Mountains into Alxa in Inner Mongolia, and heading to the Tengger Desert along the Dream Desert Highway. Along the way, you will see thousands of miles of yellow sand, just like an endless road, and you will see camels strolling on the roadside. Or the Alxa Heroes Association's four-wheel-drive off-road vehicles speed over the sand dunes, drive into the Dream Desert Park for a short rest, and run off the road to taste the taste of setting foot in the desert. It's so fun!

Free admission. Last year, I went to Yinchuan for a few days. I knew there was a small town in Inner Mongolia nearby, so I took a two-hour bus to see it and buy some local specialties. There is little tourist information about Bayanhot on the Internet. The map shows the scenic spot Yanfu Temple, so let's go there. There are very few buses. When I got off the bus, I saw the heavy city wall. I didn't expect there was an ancient city here, and it's free. You can walk on the city wall. There are antique vendors in the open space in front of the White Pagoda. Next to it is Yanfu Temple. There is the Khoshut Prince's Palace Museum in the past. It seems to be charged. It was past four o'clock at that time. I hurried past it in order to catch the last bus back to Yinchuan. I will definitely come back to visit carefully next time. The return bus waited very long and I had to walk a long way after getting off the bus. I didn't have time to buy local specialties.

Badao Bridge is a very worthwhile attraction. It is located on the northern edge of the Badain Jaran Desert, the third largest desert in my country. It is the combination of Populus euphratica forest and desert landscape. Here, tourists can take photos of desert sunrise and sunset, experience the desert and oasis style, and can also sand slide, ride camels, and watch sand sculptures of various styles. Badao Bridge is so beautiful with its majestic beauty of desert sunrise and gorgeous colors of sunset. Therefore, if you plan to go to Ejin Banner, Badao Bridge is definitely a place not to be missed.

The desert is worth visiting! Desert off-roading! Camping with bonfires and lanterns! Watching the sunrise! Sunset in the desert! It's all worth seeing. Just remember to bring warm clothes, as it gets really cold at night! Experience four seasons in one day.

This is a scenic spot that I often recommend to everyone. Although it is not very famous, it is definitely worth a visit in Bayannur. Only by coming here can you truly feel what the magic and wonder of nature are.

This trip was very happy. I felt the desert 🏜 and watched the sunrise 🌅. The scenery was so beautiful. If I hadn’t come to Inner Mongolia, I wouldn’t have known that the sunrise could be so beautiful!
