Four deserts in China

Taklimakan Desert, Gurbantunggut Desert, Badain Jaran Desert, Tengger Desert.

1, Taklimakan Desert is located in the middle of Tarim Basin in southern Xinjiang. It is the largest desert in China and the second largest mobile desert in the world, ranking tenth in the world. The whole desert is about 1000 km long from east to west, 400 km wide from north to south and covers an area of 330,000 square kilometers. The average annual precipitation in the desert is less than 100 mm, while the average evaporation is as high as 2500 ~ 3400 mm, where sand dunes stretch in the desert and vegetation is scarce. Pyramid-shaped dunes can reach hundreds of meters. Due to the influence of wind, sand dunes often move.

2. Gurbantunggut Desert. Located in the center of Zhungeer basin, with a total area of about 48,800 square kilometers, it consists of four deserts. Bougourd's Bugle Desert is in the west, Huojingneixin Desert in the east, Dezosoten Ellison Desert in the middle and Kububei-Akkum Desert in the north. This is a fixed and semi-fixed desert.

Badain Jaran Desert is located in Alashan League in the west of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, with a total area of 47,000 square kilometers. The annual precipitation in Badain Jaran Desert is less than 40mm, but there are more than 100 lakes in the desert. The majestic sand mountain, mysterious singing sand, quiet lakes and wetlands constitute the unique and charming landscape of Badain Jaran Desert, attracting tens of thousands of domestic and foreign tourists every year.

4. Tengger Desert is the fourth largest desert in China, located in the southwest of Alashan Zuo Qi, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, on the central border of Gansu. It is 240 kilometers long and 0/60 kilometers wide, with a total area of 43,000 square kilometers. As a desert, its formation is different from that of Taklimakan Desert and Gurbantunggut Desert, where the sand comes from the alluvial deposits of ancient rivers, but is formed by the erosion of grassland without vegetation cover by drought and wind.
