Pride! Xinjiang already has 36 national desert parks, ranking first in China. I’m waiting for you in Xinjiang. As of now, Xinjiang has 36 national desert parks (including the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps), making it a province/municipality/autonomous region with a high number of national desert parks in China. What can you do at a desert park? Besides traditional activities like camel riding and dune climbing, there are also exciting entertainment options such as sandboarding and exploration. Or, during the appropriate season, you can go camping in the wild with the sky as your quilt and sand as your bed, watching the sunrise and sunset over the desert, and enjoying the tranquility and comfort provided by nature. In addition, friends who want to take wedding photos or portraits can also choose the vast and magnificent desert park, where the photos taken will definitely have a unique charm. So, which fun desert parks are there in Xinjiang? Let me recommend a few below: Kucha Qiuci National Desert Park. Qiuci always gives people a sense of mystery, and when thinking of the desert in Qiuci, the first impression is also the sound of camel bells and the melodious sound of Qiang flutes.

Geographical Location: Muli County, Changji, Yuli National Desert Park. Yuli County borders the large Taklamakan Desert to the south. The Populus euphratica growing in the desert and those along the river form contrasting landscapes. The vast Taklamakan Desert undulates continuously like a huge, delicate, and smooth silk fabric. Populus euphratica and Tamarix ramosissima embedded in the desert add vitality to the scene.
Geographical Location: Yuli County, Bayingolin Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture, Qiemo National Desert Park. Ancient dwellings and newly built buildings are scattered among the shaded paths, presenting a simple and serene atmosphere. Yellow sand surrounds the town like waves, making the small town resemble an isolated island in the vast sea. The ancient Silk Road post has become the transportation hub in the southeast of Tarim today, a great place to experience the unique charm of the Southern Silk Road and desert oases.

Xayar is an excellent choice for exploring or investigating the Taklamakan Desert along the north-south route.

Geographical Location: Fukang City, Yiwu Populus euphratica National Desert Park. In this harsh natural environment, there grows a forest of Populus euphratica that has survived for over 9,000 years.

Geographical Location: Yiwu County, Hami, Shanshan National Desert Park. Shanshan National Desert Park is part of the Kumtag Desert. Last September, guests of Hunan TV’s "We Are Coming" such as Carina Lau, Angela Chiu, and Xie Na visited this desert park for filming. On the left side of the park are green trees, streams, and vineyards, while on the right is the desert. The desert and green trees complement each other, creating a breathtaking sight.
Geographical Location: Shanshan County, Turpan, Tuolebing Tuolingo National Desert Park, southern edge of the Gurbantunggut Desert in the Junggar Basin. It is a primitive and rugged desert world, and also a natural desert botanical garden. Lush Haloxylon ammodendron, dense Populus euphratica, refreshing Elaeagnus angustifolia, medicinally valuable Rheum palmatum, jingling Sophora alopecuroides, firm Firmiana simplex resembling antlers, as well as blood-red Tamarix ramosissima, compose a landscape rich in color, scent, sound, and appearance.
