Where is the fun in Tengger Desert and Shapotou Desert?

The desert in Shapotou is very interesting.

Shapotou, 2 1km from Zhongwei, is a national 5A scenic spot with no scenery. The vast desert meets the U-shaped bend of the rushing Yellow River here. There is also an oasis, which is growing with the tenacious vitality unique to the northwest. Responsibly speaking, Shapotou is the best scenic spot in the desert.

Shapotou's sand landslide is 38 degrees with a drop of 68 meters. On the bank of the Yellow River, it looks very exciting. The pulley is made of wood and the speed can be controlled manually. Surfing on the beach, it is strongly recommended that you take a big car, so that you can have a better view of the vast desert instead of the roof of a cross-country jeep. In contrast, Shapotou's route design and ramp angle are more exciting.
