Where is the ancient desert?

The desert, called "Garbaihan Sea" in ancient times or "Hanhai" for short, is a Gobi desert, located in the three provinces of East Gobi, South Gobi and Gobi Altai in southern Mongolia, as well as the Erenhot area in the west of Xilin Gol League in Inner Mongolia.

Gobi Desert covers an area of 6.5438+0.3 million square kilometers, located between China and Mongolia, and is the northernmost desert in the world. Asia is the largest and fourth largest desert in the world. Although in Mongolian, the Gobi Desert means "a place without water", in fact, underground springs are constantly pouring out from rocks and sand dunes, and there are also many salt lakes here. The extreme temperature in this desert can drop to minus 20 degrees Celsius or even minus 30 degrees Celsius in winter. In the hottest summer, it can rise above 40 degrees Celsius.
