Camping&Tough Hiking to Cross the KuBuQi Desert


Kubuqi desert is the seventh largestdesert in China. "Kubuqi" means "string on the bow" in the Mongolian language. Because the desert looks like a golden string hanging overthe Yellow River, hence, the name “Kubiqi” is settled. 



In ancient days, the desert was also called "Kujie sand"(Ku Jie Sha in pinyin),"Po Na sand"(Po Na Sha in pinyin), also as "Pu Na sand"(PuNa Sha in pinyin). The Kubuqi Desert is the nearest desert from Beijing, which is located in the north of the ridge line of the Ordos Plateau, covering some areas of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region including  Hangjin Banner in Ikezhao League, Dalad (DaLa Te in pinin) Banner and Jungar(Jun Ge Er in pinyin) Banner. 



The desert covers an area of about 1.45 million hectares in total, where mobile sand dunesaccount for about 61 percent. The desert is 400 km in length and 50 km in width, with sand dunes of 10-60 meters in height. The Kubuqi desert is like a yellow Chinese dragon lying on the north of the Ordos Plateau across the Three Bannersin the Inner Mongolia area.



The Kubuqi Desert is the paradise for hikers. The vast desert scenery is awe-inspiring, not to mention the uniquescenery of the deserts, including unpredictably holy lights in desert, the desert flowers engraved by the gale, the marvelous sunrise on the desert, as well as themythical mirage, which are immensely attractive to many travel enthusiasts.



When you stand at the high place andgaze afar, you will see the endless desert sea roll with heat waves. If you press the shutter at the moment, it will record a rare and be witchingly beautiful scene in your life.




Some people say that if you fall inlove with someone, accompany him to the desert, where the scenery is as beautiful as paradise; if you hate someone, nerve hesitate to take him to the desert, where the life can be as tough as in hell. But we say that if you want to experience the vast and barren Gobi desert and challenge yourself, then join us to venture into the Kubuqi Desert.
