Gobi Desert

The Gobi Desert is a vast, arid region located in northern China and southern Mongolia. Covering over 1.3 million square kilometers, it is characterized by extreme temperature fluctuations, with scorching summers and freezing winters. Unlike typical sandy deserts, the Gobi features a mix of sand dunes, rocky outcrops, and sparse vegetation. It is home to unique wildlife, including the rare Bactrian camel. The Gobi has historical significance as part of the Silk Road trade route, facilitating cultural exchanges between East and West. Today, it continues to attract interest for its remarkable landscapes and geological features.
