Soft Happiness and Touching —— Badain Jaran Desert

The Bajilin Desert is one of the four deserts in China, where there are towering sand mountains, mysterious sand singing, quiet lakes and wetlands, lush reeds, waterfowl playing and fish swimming. In the vast desert, in addition to the long yellow sand, dotted lakes and beautiful green, it adds some traces of life to the desert.

Thanks to the occasional traveling companions, Sashimi and Ah Jun from Guangzhou, who brought infinite happiness and made the trip more exciting; Thanks to the driver, Master Wu, who is kind, friendly and skilled, and brings the excitement and excitement of surfing in the desert. Thanks to Badain Jaran, let us deeply integrate into the vast world and the bright starry sky.

Dan Jilin, we will come back again! Bajin Desert is located in Alashan League, Inner Mongolia, in the northwest corner of Inner Mongolia. Jiuquan Satellite Space City is located in the west of the desert, and the northern edge of the desert is Populus euphratica, the kingdom of Ejina Banner.

Compared with other deserts, such as Lop Nur belongs to the Gobi Desert and Ma Pingchuan, the horizon always spans the distant sky, while Badain Jaran is a desert formed by huge sand dunes, with an average elevation of more than 1, meters and a relative elevation of more than 5 meters. Huge sand slopes of 6-7 degrees or even higher can be seen everywhere. In the desert, the peaks turn around, and you never know whether there is a steep downhill or a higher ridge behind the front ridge. Is it a beautiful sea or a rough sand dune?

You can choose the way to travel: off-road vehicle, camel riding and hiking. The time can be 1-5 days or longer, depending on your time, mood and granary.

this time, we took the classic route No.3 off-road vehicle to surf in the desert. Why? Because we want to experience the exciting feeling of racing crazily on the huge sand slope! Haha, the game of the brave! Refuse the ordinary road and go wherever it is more dangerous! Our roar is: Go! You can be a little more thrilling!

National Day itinerary: Beijing-Wuliangsuhai-Yinchuan-Zuo Qi-Ejina-Youqi-Badain Jaran Desert-Youqi-Hexi Fort (Jinchang)-Beijing

Arrive in Ejina on October 6th, avoid the peak, stay for 6 days, and thoroughly enjoy the most splendid days of Populus euphratica.

tip: Populus euphratica is usually the best on October 1-15 every year, and a large area turns golden. As long as there is no cold current and strong wind and it stays above zero, there is no need to worry about premature withering. 39, mu of Populus euphratica improved in turn. Avoid the peak of crowds during the National Day holiday and fully feel the quiet Populus euphratica forest. Perhaps in the golden sunshine and forest, perhaps alone on the Second Bridge in the afternoon, you will hear the soul of Populus euphratica singing.

SG nasan, the only travel agency in Ejina, provides first-hand information in time. Whether the leaves are yellow today, whether the sky is blue, and whether the water is rising, you can ask him about visiting the space city. I have never left Beijing and harassed him all the way, haha.

Go to the right flag before October 13th, and cross-country surf in Badain Jaran Desert on 14th, 15th and 16th!

I looked up a lot of information on the Internet before, read the merits and demerits of my predecessors, collected some telephone calls, and met the famous Master Fan on the Internet. Unfortunately, I missed his car and missed the opportunity to wear Badain Jilin from Ejina. Of course, after becoming famous, Master Fan's worth is also bullish, and there is nothing to say about technology. I followed Zhu Xiao MSN of Everest Travel Agency all the way and got her enthusiastic help. Although she didn't use her car in the end, she was still very enthusiastic and sent me beautiful picture books and maps. Another sigh, enthusiastic Mongolian. Hey, actually, MM is Han.

Six of us, including two cars, met an elderly couple in Beijing, Uncle Wang and Aunt Huang, who were traveling together. I admire these two old people, who are over 6 years old and have been playing outside for more than a month. They are brave and tenacious! Race with us, camp together, and climb Mount Everest together in 4 minutes. So far, it seems that no tourists older than them have entered the Badain Jaran Desert in China. They dare to call it the first senior age group!

I can't get in touch with all the drivers I saw online before. Finally, I made a great determination and rushed into the desert with two masters! It was really good luck all the way. Three days later, I was very touched! Enthusiasm, kindness and superb driving skills really protect us and miss us! We fully experienced the spectacular and off-road excitement of Badain Jaran. When we parted, I held the master's big hand in both hands and told him: I really have no regrets and fulfilled all my expectations!

the first day: the transfer station-Batan Lake-Tianchi-Aobaoliang-Tamaying-Zhalaitu-Xiaohaizi-inder Map-Everest (sunset)-Miaohaizi met with an expedition in Hohhot at night and was taken to drink. Enthusiastic Mongolians eat meat, drink wine and sing loudly. We all got down.

The next day: Sihaizi (Badain Jaran Temple)-Huangqiao Dawa-Noritu-Wulongmian Map-camping on the desert ridge.

to make up for not camping as a star, we decided to stay one more night the next day! Just for a bonfire, lying in the arms of the desert and watching the stars! I didn't expect two old people to join us. What if we are short of equipment? Fortunately, the master driver contributed his tent, sleeping bag, cushion and quilt, but he slept in the car. Thank you very much

the third day: nuoritu-oolong noodles-canghala-baolama-provincial road S228- youqi

rushed out of the desert at 3: 1 pm and got through the oil road of provincial road S228.

three-day charter, 18 yuan, because after the National Day peak, the price is cheaper. I knew the route before, and it was easy to communicate with the master. The master was very kind and took us on an extraordinary road. Especially on the third day, I didn't take the old road to return from the entrance of the desert, but went all the way through the southwest of the desert. The sand mountains were endless and beautiful! Unfortunately, because our fellow travelers had to rush back to Youqi to take the shuttle bus to Lanzhou, we had to reduce the route planned by the master and watch a few Haizi less, otherwise it would be dark before we left the desert. We are very satisfied!

Tip:

Tickets: At present, only 5% of the tickets are collected in Bataan Lake. This place is mainly a day trip reception, and it is on the edge of the desert, not far from the entrance to the desert. If it is more than 2 days, you can discuss with the driver to avoid it. There are more than 1 Haizi in Badain Jilin, and Haizi in the hinterland of the desert is more beautiful.

Accommodation: Batangarin Temple and Noritu have accommodation all the year round, and the conditions are still good. Other Haizi are not necessarily, and locals may travel. Miao Haizi has a minimum of 3/ person, and the condition of Noritu is more expensive and better. Music, music, pictures and pictures are all beautiful and suitable for camping. Because the sand mountain is fixed here, if the weather is fine, many places in the desert can camp.

diet: a little expensive. Nonitu has a vegetable garden planted in the base camp, with fresh tomatoes, carrots and peppers. Vegetarian food 3, it is better to eat meat food 35. The food is big and delicious. Be careful if you are prone to carsickness ~ ~ ~ Don't eat too greasy food (such as desert cake) in the morning when you don't get carsick. You can prepare some materials in advance.

charging: nonitu has a generator that charges 4/ hour, which can charge DC, etc. Or car charging.

weather: there is a great temperature difference between morning and evening. The desert temperature in mid-October is suitable. It's not very cold at night, warmer than Ejina, and it's not very sunny during the day. Climbing Mount Everest barefoot is very comfortable.

chartered car: during holidays, people's prices rose by 1,8-2 days, and then dropped after holidays. Someone asked about 14/2 days, and you can take 3 days off. If you add another 2 days, the main itinerary of 3 days is basically the same as that of 2 days, but the stay time is different. Of course, you can also choose.
