[2025 Hami Attraction] Travel Guide for Gobi Desert (Updated Jul)

Mongolia, a renowned destination famous for its stunning natural landscapes. Although the typical itinerary is 7 nights and 8 days, we had to shorten it to 5 nights and 7 days due to vacation constraints, making it quite a challenging schedule. Despite the physical exhaustion, it was an incredibly beautiful and enjoyable trip! I hope to visit again to see the places I missed, like Lake Khövsgöl. 1. Terelj National Park 🏞 The last stop of our trip was Terelj National Park. The lush greenery and the sight of horses freely roaming the fields created a breathtaking view. 2. Gobi Desert 🏜 Climbing up was extremely tough, but the view from the top of the Gobi Desert was unparalleled in beauty. (Beware of the fierce sandstorms!) 3. Mongolian Nights 🌠 Mongolian nights truly let you experience what it means for stars to "pour down." With no surrounding lights and exceptionally clear air, the stars were incredibly visible. I even saw more shooting stars than I ever have in my life! If you plan to visit, try to go during a new moon (when there’s no moonlight). 4. Romantic Max with the UAZ Van 🚗 The UAZ van is a popular choice for travelers in Mongolia. While it scores 100 points for romance, its comfort level is zero 🤣. We traveled in a Starex, but sitting for 3–5 hours was still tough. Be sure to bring a cushion for added comfort.

From Beijing to Inner Mongolia, our adventure took us deep into the heart of the Gobi Desert through Yinchuan and Alxa League. As we entered the vast sea of sand, the real magic began. 🌄 ⛺ We camped under the stars, shared stories by the campfire, and felt the raw beauty of the desert unfold around us. Walking across the dunes was like stepping into another world—silent, golden, and infinite. This wasn’t just a trip, it was a journey into stillness, scale, and starlight. ✨ #chinatravel #GobiDesert #AlxaLeague #DesertCamping #ChinaRoadTrip #NatureEscape #FilmPhotography #gobi

When I travel, my camera becomes a tool to capture moments. However, some scenes are unique and can never be recreated. I was on the Gobi Desert in the northwest, where the setting sun turned the vast sand into a sea of orange and red. The lines of the sand dunes were interwoven with light and shadow, like the wrinkles of the earth, telling the story of time. I stood on a high place, pressed the shutter, and captured the magnificent scenery. Now, I think of the unique light, the perfect cloud shadows, and the shock and emotion I felt at that time. Even if I return to the same place, it is difficult to recreate. The wind constantly reshapes the sand dunes, and every moment of the scenery is unique. There was also a time by the sea when a storm was coming, and the waves were crashing against the rocks, splashing water several feet high. The sky was so dark that it seemed to collapse, merging with the turbulent sea into a chaotic scene. I took a picture of this breathtaking scene in the wind and rain. At that moment, the wind howled into my ears, the salty sea water hit my face, and my body swayed in the wind and rain, but I was deeply attracted by the power of nature. I returned to that beach countless times later, but I never encountered such extreme and shocking weather again. That photo became a unique record of nature's temper. In an ancient town, there was a narrow stone road, mottled walls, and red lanterns swaying under the eaves. An old man sat at the door, looking calmly into the distance. I gently pressed the shutter and captured this picture full of life. Now the town has been renovated, with many new commercial elements, and the old man has left. The original and simple picture can only be recalled in the photo. These photos that can never be taken again are not just a combination of pixels and colors. They are specimens of time, a spiritual connection between me and those specific moments. Behind each photo is a unique travel story, reminding me that in this vast world, some beauty, once missed, can only be found in memories and photos. But it is these irreplaceable moments that make every trip meaningful, becoming a treasure that shines in life, allowing me to feel the heartbeat of those distant places in ordinary days.

#2024 Travel Review **Gobi Desert** The best part of 2024 is to visit Mongolia!

#tripพาบินเที่ยวจีน We visited the Gobi Desert, which was a wonderful experience. We were very impressed by our very polite, attentive and helpful tour guide throughout the trip. The guide spoke fluent English and was very attentive to our needs. The trip requires a special vehicle and a skilled driver. We visited the most important sites in the Gobi Desert and were amazed by the beauty of the valleys and sand dunes. We met and talked with the locals, tasted delicious local food and slept under the stars. We highly recommend this place to anyone traveling to Mongolia and wanting to visit the famous Gobi Desert.

Xinjiang is a place where just wandering around, you can fall in love with the scenery along the way. At some point, we came to a Gobi shoal. Having never seen it before, we decided to stop and take a look, maybe snap a photo for a keepsake. After getting out of the car, the view that greeted us was a shallow Gobi hiding a meandering little river. This scene, never seen before, was particularly precious. Looking at it, we thought about setting up camp right there, grabbing some snacks and beer, and just drinking while waiting for the sunset, not wanting to leave. The flocks of sheep and herds of cattle by the roadside are a characteristic of this place, creating an especially harmonious picture. The mentality of food lovers is to slaughter one and roast it for a meal. Coming to Xinjiang, one must not waste their taste buds. The air here is exceptionally fresh against this beautiful backdrop. Take a breath, and it's refreshing to the core. Unexpectedly, it became the favorite of us travelers, and perhaps also the favorite of the locals, because they don't boast much. The simple folks will tell you, this is all natural! Alright, I've remembered this beautiful scene. Throwing a few stones into the river, we playfully competed to see whose stones could skip further. What a delightful jest! After a brief rest, we continued on our way, with more beautiful scenery ahead to be continued~
