## About Tengger Golden Sand Island

A hidden paradise tucked away in the Tengger Desert, combining desert, wetlands, lakes and the Great Wall. Green amid the sand, water amid the green; islands in the lake, lakes on the islands. At sunset the sky turns orange. Sunbathing, fishing and playing beach volleyball in this beautiful setting will melt away all your fatigue.
