Kunlun Mountains Death Valley Exploration Tour - Day 4

After resting for a night in Mangya City (the most isolated city in China, surrounded by 200 km of uninhabited Gobi Desert), we set off for today's itinerary - Saturn's Rings and the Eboliang Yardang Landform! We crossed a short stretch of desert (less than 30 km), and after getting stuck in the sand several times, we finally reached the "Saturn's Rings Dune Yardang" near Mangya. Under the influence of wind erosion, the desert and yardang surface have formed ring-shaped tracks like those around Saturn! Suddenly, I had a wild idea to hike to the depths of the yardang. As I walked on the desert, I felt the fine sand flowing past my feet. It seemed that I was the only one in this vast land. The ripples of endless time and space seemed to merge with the surrounding Saturn's Rings landform, allowing me to soar through time and space! The alternating wonders have surpassed the shock that words can describe! I don't know how long it took or how far I walked, but it was finally time to leave. The next stop is the Eboliang Yardang Landform, where we will camp tonight. The off-road conditions on the road seem to have become the norm these days, and there are no more waves. We arrived at Eboliang in the evening! I didn't expect to see the most shocking view of the Eboliang Yardang Landform. This is also an uninhabited area, but it lacks the vitality brought by the wildlife of Death Valley, and has more of the shock of the natural wonders! Some say that Eboliang is the most unearthly place on Earth, an uninhabited area of 21,500 square kilometers! The power of heaven and earth has turned this place into a divine canvas! I don't want to use ordinary words to describe the shape of the yardang here! Only under the setting sun can I feel the vastness and mystery here. At night, the starry sky here is truly shocking! Compared to Death Valley, the Milky Way is more obvious here! The stars in the sky seem to have passed through the atmosphere and rushed into view. The starlight fills my eyes, as if I am traveling in endless space! Finally, this uninhabited area trip has come to a perfect end! I will continue to explore the world and the great rivers and mountains of our motherland with you.
