Cross lop Nur route by car

The crossing route from west to north is:

D 1: Urumqi-Turpan-Shanshan

D2: Shanshan-Kumutage Desert-Dahai Road (Dahai Road can't be crossed in one day, so you need to camp in it for one night).

D3: Dahai Road-Bailongdui-Lop Nur Town

D4: Lop Nur Town-Hami

The crossing to Hami is over, and then you can fly back directly from Hami. Or take the train to Dunhuang (there are many flights, which can be reached within 5 hours), and then play in Dunhuang for a day or two and then come back.

If it is a north-south crossing, the reasonable route should be:

D 1: Urumqi-Turpan

D2: Turpan-Kumutage Desert-Dahai Road (Dahai Road can't be crossed in one day, so you need to camp in it for one night).

D3: Dahai Road-Bailongdui-Lop Nur Town

D4: Lop Nur Town-Milan Ancient City-Ruoqiang (Ruoqiang has completed the north-south crossing)

Matters needing attention in crossing Lop Nur

Transportation: When crossing the no-man's land, you will usually ask a professional guide to charter a car or drive by car. Cycling to no man's land is strongly discouraged. How many explorers left their lives in no man's land between ancient and modern times, so be careful.

Regarding the choice of vehicles, urban SUVs can also be used in Gobi, but it may be a bit too much to encounter some slightly special terrain. At least domestic Great Wall H5 SUV is recommended, and Toyota overbearing SUV is safer.

Camping equipment problem: a set of camping equipment such as tent, sleeping bag (MINUS 20) and moisture-proof mat can be used. Generally, camping through no man's land for one night is enough. Girls who camp in a row may not be able to stand it.
