In recent years, desert travel has gradually become an emerging direction for adventurers and travel enthusiasts. We usually have a common perception of the desert, which is dry and hot, and lakes are not what we expect to see in the desert. Today I would like to introduce you to the Badain Jaran Desert in China, a magical desert with more than 140 lakes and known as the "Mobei Jiangnan".
Located in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, this desert is praised as one of the most beautiful deserts in China. Usually, we have a "three-unique" perception of the desert, that is, the desert's singing sand, strange peaks and lakes. In the desert of Badain Jaran Mountains, the desert here is called the "Five Uniques": strange peaks, singing sand, lakes, sacred springs, and temples.
Among them, the lake is the most fascinating. You may wonder how there can be a lake in the desertIn fact, these lakes are unique to the Badain Jaran Desert. Experts have come up with different explanations for the formation of these lakes, ranging from the condensation of nocturnal dew to the natural heritage of the ancient wet period. This mystery has always been unsolved, and because of this, the desert is even more mysterious.
The sheer number of lakes in this desert is breathtaking. There are more than 140 lakes, of which more than 70 even have perennial water that does not dry up, and 12 are freshwater lakes. This group of lakes formed in the desert has given the Badain Jaran Mountain Desert the reputation of "Mobei Jiangnan", bringing us an unimaginable desert experience.
The experience of tourists staying in this desert hinterland is also a highlight. It is especially recommended that you choose the sunrise and sunset time to experience the most beautiful scenery of the lake in the sun. As the sun rises or sets, the golden reflection on the lake's edge will enchant you as if you have entered a fairyland.
In addition to the lake, there are other "four uniques" in this desert, such as sand peak climbing and sand singing experience. Among them, Bilutu Sand Peak is known as the "world's highest peak in the desert", which is an unmissable attraction for travelers who like to challenge themselves.
The annual tourism festival attracts a large number of tourists to participate in sports competitions such as off-road races and climbing races, which add a lot of color to this desert. If you're planning to visit, it's best to do so between August and October, when the temperature is moderate (around 25 degrees) and remember to pack a windbreaker, as the desert is a sight to behold, and the sand and dust can bring some unexpected surprises.
In closing, I would like to emphasize that the beauty and magic of the Badain Jaran desert needs to be experienced firsthand. I encourage you to set foot in this unique desert and witness the wonders of the "Five Uniques" such as lakes, sand peaks, and singing sand, and feel the magic and charm of nature. It's not just a trip, it's a baptism of the soul. The desert, once considered barren and barren, is now given a new lease of life against the backdrop of the lake. As one seeks in travel, this desert presents us with unexpected beauty. Perhaps, our perception of the unfamiliar needs to break the stereotype and dare to challenge conventional ideas in order to truly discover the wonders of nature.
This group of lakes in the Badain Jaran Mountains desert is not only a unique presence in the desert, but also a subversion of our stereotype of the desert. The lakes here may not be the ones we traditionally understand, but they are a unique ecological wonder in the middle of this vast desert.

In addition to the lakes, the other "four uniques" in the desert are also unforgettable. The sand peak climbing, the singing sand experience, and the magnificent scenery of the Bilutu sand peak allow visitors to immerse themselves in the strange world of the desert.
