## About Kubuqi Desert

Kubuqi Desert has more ethnic minority charm than other deserts. It is a paradise for adventurers, where you can ride a camel across endless golden dunes and set off on a remarkable journey. The vast sand sea, the magnificent sunset and the lone traveller together make a stunning picture.
