🏜️ Discovering the Kubuqi Desert – A Golden Sea in Inner Mongolia

📍 Located just 30km from Baotou, Kubuqi Desert is China’s 7th largest desert and a spectacular slice of Inner Mongolia’s natural and cultural wonders. Its name, derived from Mongolian, means “the string on a bow”—fitting for the sweeping dunes that curve like an archer’s draw.

🚗 Easily accessible by car or private transfer, this desert escape offers more than just stunning views. Visitors can experience camel rides, dune sliding, desert surfing, and vibrant bonfire nights. There’s also a deep dive into Mongolian culture—complete with traditional wine rituals and ethnic performances.

🍽️ The area is well-equipped, with accommodation and restaurants. Don’t miss trying roast whole lamb—a local favorite! For hiking enthusiasts, you can explore eastward to Xiangshawan or westward toward the Seven-Star Lake route, both offering stunning photo spots with dunes and green belts.

🌤️ Best time to visit: May–June & September–October — when the weather is mild and the desert is at its most inviting.

✨ Why Go?

Kubuqi blends natural wonders, cultural immersion, and adventure in one unforgettable destination. Whether you’re a desert explorer or cultural traveler, this place will leave you in awe.
