Naiman Eight Immortals manages the weather.

It was cloudy when we came out in the morning, but it didn't hinder us from being happy at all. We set off for two days against the drizzle as planned.

This trip starts from below zero and the destination is Naiman Desert in Inner Mongolia.

According to the original plan, we set off at 5: 30 a.m. on time, but the bus is approaching the expressway. My husband suddenly remembered that he didn't bring insulin, so he turned around and went home to get insulin. As a result, it was almost seven o'clock when the bus got on the expressway.

Breakfast is jiaozi and porridge prepared by the bottle sister-in-law of the family below zero. My husband and wife and couples below zero have been to go on road trip twice, so we also bought a roof suitcase. Every time I travel, I am responsible for setting travel goals, making travel plans and taking into account our portrait shooting; Bottle is responsible for the catering of the four of us during the trip, and also serves as a photographer and fashion designer; Husband tiger is a driver, or a photographer for landscape shooting; And I basically don't care, occasionally do odd jobs, and tell stories and jokes on the way.

We had breakfast in the eighth five-year plan service area, and the environment was very good. There are only four customers in the whole service area, and there is a beautiful card bag for us to use for free, which makes us feel particularly comfortable and eat more naturally.

After breakfast, we continued to drive for about 300 kilometers. In Baxiantong Town, we got off the expressway and went to Naiman Banner, the first stop of this trip, to see Tamarix.

Naiman Banner is located in the southwest of Tongliao City, Inner Mongolia, on the southern edge of Horqin Sandy Land. Although it is located in Inner Mongolia, its customs and habits are basically northeast. Tamarix in Naiman Banner grows in the desert. Due to drought and lack of rain, sandstorms raged. In order to survive and resist the wind and sand, the graceful willows have become grotesque. So it is called Tamarix, and the locals also call it Jieliu. This kind of Tamarix in Naiman Banner has 10 million mu, forming a unique natural landscape and becoming a paradise for tourists and photographers.

When I came out from home, the light rain has now turned into heavy rain. After a bumpy country road, we turned into a flat village. The village is quiet, the houses on both sides of the road are washed clean by rain, and the vegetation is lush, and there is no phenomenon of dry desert, yellow vegetation and insufficient rain.

There are three relatively recognized landscapes in the strange willow forest in Naiman Banner, which are mainly distributed in Baxiantong Town, Guli Banhuasumu and Baiyintarasumu in Baxiantong Forest Farm. According to the guidance of navigation, we first came to Aijibai Liulin in Baxiantong Town. The rain is still falling slowly. The bottle and I changed into the photo clothes she had prepared in advance and walked into the Tamarix forest in the rain.

The willow tree in front of us is very different from the willow tree seen in peacetime. First of all, its trunk is twisted, like a woman twisting three thin waists, and the other branches all run away obliquely. The canopy is particularly dense, the leaves are soft, and the branches are drooping, which looks furry from a distance.

Its shape is even more strange, like a dragon flying in the air; Some are like eagles with wings, soaring in the air; There is also a tall giant, with his head slightly lowered, looking down at everything on the earth. We were all shocked by the ingenuity of nature. Intoxicated by this mythical kingdom, the whole person rushed into the Woods and began to take pictures regardless of heavy raindrops.

At noon, we ate our own gas stove and roast beef contentedly in an empty room near the forest.

After supper, the rain stopped. After the rain, Tamarix chinensis appears greener under the scouring of rain. We went deep into the forest and took many photos in a dead wood forest. The two photographers are very happy. They always envy your coming. At dusk, we drove to the second destination of this trip-Baogutu Desert.

After 5: 30 in the afternoon, there is no admission fee in the baogutu desert. We drove into the desert scenic spot, set up tents, buried pots, cooked meals and prepared to camp here.
