This unique landscape, half desert, half sea, and the connected sand and sea, attracts visitors from all over the country.
Then, experience the speed and excitement of desert off-roading, where "smoke rises from the desert, and the sun sets over the long river." In the evening, arrive deep in the Ulan Buh Desert for desert camping, enjoying a bonfire party and fireworks show.

After breakfast, we'll continue our journey northward, passing through the Chuansha Highway to Jilu Pass, the site of Zhaojun's journey through the Great Wall. We'll then enter the Halonggenaigou Gorge, a major channel of communication between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu. Retracing the Zhaojun Road, we'll experience over 2,000 years of historical change; the intense collision, transformation, and integration of ancient Chinese agricultural civilization and the nomadic Xiongnu civilization; and the poignant years of war that marked history.
We will then visit Shandai Temple, a Tibetan Buddhist temple (Gelugpa) built during the reign of Emperor Kangxi. In the afternoon, we'll drive through the Red Canyon, experiencing the thrill of off-road driving and the allure of the Danxia landforms.

Each piece boasts a unique color and texture, and everyone who visits Agate Lake will find their own personal touch and delight.
We then turned southeast, passing the popular winding mountain road, and entered the Genghis Khan Gorge. Deep in a canyon in the Yin Mountains, a massive stone statue stands, resembling the figure of Genghis Khan from a distance. Tall and majestic, it resembles a great figure who has traveled through time and space, sharing a glorious history with the world.
