The five most beautiful deserts in China

The five most beautiful deserts in China are the Badain Jaran Desert in Alxa League, Inner Mongolia, the Taklimakan Desert in the Tarim Basin in Xinjiang, China, the Gurbantunggut Desert in the Junggar Basin in Xinjiang, China, the Mingsha Mountain in Dunhuang City, and the Shapotou in Zhongwei City, Ningxia.

Badain Jaran Desert is the third largest desert in my country, with 83% of its area covered by mobile sand dunes. The most beautiful place in Badain Jaran Desert is near the Badain Jaran Temple in the heart of the desert.

After the snow melts in spring, the Gurbantunggut Desert becomes lush and vibrant, with clusters of flowers. The scenery is poetic and fascinating.

Shapotou is located in the southeast of the Tegeli Desert. It is known for the large sandbank 2,000 meters wide and 100 meters high on the river bank.

What to do if you encounter quicksand in the desert

When you encounter quicksand in the desert, you must first stay calm, because the more you move, the faster you will sink. You must try to lean forward to increase the load-bearing area. Lie on the quicksand and kick your legs slowly, but only swing them slightly. Lie forward as far as you can and try to lift your legs out little by little.

Quicksand is a natural phenomenon that often occurs in unstable deserts. When a heavy object is placed on the sand, it sinks to the bottom like a sinking rock.

The reason for the formation of quicksand is generally that the rising groundwater reduces the friction between sand particles, causing the sand to begin to flow, thus forming quicksand.

What is the desert next to Qinghai Lake called?

The desert next to Qinghai Lake is called Sand Island. Sand Island is part of Qinghai Lake, half of which is the shoreline of Qinghai Lake and half of which is desert. It was formed because the water level of Qinghai Lake has been declining year by year, and lake sand ridges have protruded above the water surface, resulting in the accumulation of wind and sand.

Sand Island combines blue sky, yellow sand and clear water to form a unique sand dune landscape.

Qinghai Lake Sand Island is a part of Qinghai Lake, 36 kilometers long from east to west and 3 kilometers wide from north to south.

Qinghai Lake Sand Island is located in the northeast of Qinghai Lake, with a total area of ​​about 120 square kilometers. The sand dunes are rolling and it is an ideal place for natural sightseeing, sand sliding, gliding and other projects.
