Where is the border desert?

The border desert is in the west and north of China.

Border desert refers to the desert located in the frontier area, which is usually underdeveloped and sparsely populated. Border deserts are widely distributed, mainly in the western and northern regions of China, such as Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, Gansu and Qinghai provinces.

Xinjiang is the largest border desert area in China, among which Taklimakan Desert is one of the largest quicksand deserts in the world and the most famous desert in Xinjiang. The climate here is dry and short of water, and the temperature difference is large. The temperature difference between day and night can reach more than 20℃, which is a survival challenge in extreme environment. In addition, there are many deserts in Xinjiang, such as Kumtag Desert, Desert and Small Desert.

Inner Mongolia is also an important border desert area in China, mainly including Horqin Sandy Land, Ordos Desert and Xiangshawan. Among them, Ordos Desert is the third largest desert in China and one of the largest mobile sand dunes in the world, covering an area of 78,000 square kilometers. The sand dunes here can reach a height of more than 30 meters and have different shapes, which is a paradise for photographers and adventure lovers.

The warning from the desert

The existence of desert areas tells us the importance of water resources. Water resources in desert areas are very scarce, and most of them are stored through underground aquifers. Due to the over-exploitation and pollution of human activities, the water resources in desert areas are decreasing or even drying up.

Therefore, we must cherish every drop of water resources, protect water resources and realize the sustainable utilization of water resources. The existence of desert areas tells us the importance of land. The existence of desert areas has brought us many warnings, making us aware of the importance of the natural environment and the urgency of protecting it.

We must cherish natural resources, protect the natural environment and achieve the goal of harmonious coexistence between man and nature. Only in this way can we achieve sustainable development and make the future of mankind better.
