Some people describe the desert as a yellow carpet that nature has laid out. A gust of wind, like someone raised the carpet is slowly shaking, the sand is moving with the wind, layered. Starting from Urumqi, the capital of Xinjiang, 280 kilometers east, it came to Shanshan County, Turpan City, where there is the desert closest to the city, the Kumutage Desert in Xinjiang. The Kumutago Desert is located on the eastern edge of the Turpan Basin. It is 62 kilometers from east to west, 40 kilometers from north to south, and 2,500 square kilometers from desert. It is the closest desert in the world to the city. Mounted on the golden sands of the mountains, the ocean is boundless and the oasis is lush. The scenic spot can ride a camel, as well as a cross-country sand washing machine. It is very tired to climb up in the desert. When it comes down, it is like skating. It is easy to get stuck. Be careful of the plants on the side and cut your legs.
