After a delightful breakfast at 09:00, we will embark on a scenic drive to the Kubuqi Desert, the seventh largest desert in China. Around 11:30, we will arrive in the city of Dalate Banner, where you can enjoy a meal at your leisure. Following lunch, we are expected to reach the desert trekking entrance at approximately 13:30. Here, we will distribute essential trekking gear such as shoe covers, magic scarves, and walking sticks, and our guide will lead everyone through warm-up exercises and a briefing on trekking precautions.
At 14:00, we will commence our desert trek, immersing ourselves in the vast expanse of sand dunes, solitary smoke, and the golden hues of the setting sun, as depicted in classic literature. We anticipate arriving at the Engebei Desert camping site by 17:00 in the afternoon.
Upon arrival, you will team up in pairs to set up your tents. A sumptuous meal will be prepared for you, with dinner time scheduled between 18:00 and 19:00. After a satisfying dinner, you can freshen up and rest, ready to embrace the next day's adventures.
