Taklamakan: The Endless Dunes of China

Deserts are usually associated with arid climates and not a lot of diverse vegetation. Despite the lack of green around, deserts have many other sights and animals that fit their climate. Animals such as lizards, tortoises and even Addaxes graze the plains of the barren duneland.

China is famous for its diverse natural ecosystems. The Taklamakan Desert is a spectacular sight that hasn’t been explored much due to its challenging terrain. Nonetheless, it’s great to marvel at the sight of this beautiful desert.
