Badain Jaran: Sand Mountains and Lakes

Badain Jaran is a must-visit stop on Everest in the desert. For two days and one night, between Bilutu Peak and Miaohaizi, you'll encounter the unique atmosphere of Badain Jaran.

Before venturing deep into Badain Jaran, the presence of Birutu Peak had already arrived. From afar, seeing that scene, even the fatigue from traveling quietly eased, making one just want to stand a little longer.

Miaohaizi is the most captivating part of Badain Jalin. Following its veins slowly, every corner hides a different expression, stretching time and space here.

Avoiding the crowds, I slipped into the Yinde Ritu, where Badain Jaran revealed its true form. The elderly, the alley, the stove, and the laughter all settled in my memory before the scenic spots.

After nightfall, the desert off-road lights in Badain Jaran turn on, and the warm yellow glow gently embraces the grandeur of the day. Sitting down and doing nothing is also a form of arrival.

When leaving Badain Jaran, I felt a bit reluctant, but what played in my mind was Bilutu Peak. But it was precisely this reluctance that proved this trip was worthwhile—it quietly left a part of itself with you.
