The nearest desert in Hohhot

Kubuqi Desert

1. The Kubuqi Desert is located on both sides of the Yellow River at the junction of Zhungar Banner, Ordos City and Tuoketuo County, Hohhot City, about 300 kilometers away from Hohhot. .

2. The road conditions from Hohhot to Kubuqi Desert are still very good, and most of them are highways. With the progress of greening projects over the years, people have moved in and the sand has receded, making the area somewhat smaller.

3. Kubuqi Desert is the seventh largest desert in China. "Kubqi" is Mongolian, meaning the string on the bow, because it is under the Yellow River and looks like a string hanging on the Yellow River. String, hence the name.

4. There are only two kinds of weather in the desert, windy days and times when the wind stops. The wind and sand gradually swallowed up the remaining pastures and farmland in all directions, and the tragedy of sand forcing people to retreat has been happening for thousands of years. Extensive grazing and destructive excavation activities worsen the fragile ecology.

5. The eastern part of the Kubuqi Desert has better moisture conditions and is a semi-arid area. There is less precipitation in the west and it has entered the arid zone.

This desert area has good light, heat and water, which is suitable for the growth of food crops and economic crops. The eastern, central and western parts of the desert have their own characteristics. The central and eastern parts have more rainfall, while the western part is rich in heat.
