Karamay Camel Bell Dream Slope Desert Park

Karamay Camel Bell Dream Slope Desert Park

Introduction: Situated on the southern edge of the Gurbantünggüt Desert in the Junggar Basin, it is a pristine, rugged, and boundless desert world, as well as a natural desert botanical garden. The vibrant saxaul, thick populus euphratica, sweet-smelling jujube, elegant three-awn grass with flowing awns, oddly beautiful sow thistle, medicinally rich rhubarb and cistanche, the jingling camel thorn, the sturdy phoenix tree resembling deer antlers, along with the blood-red tamarisk, together form a breathtaking natural scene full of color, scent, sound, and visual splendor.

The desert park also serves as a natural zoo, home to over a hundred species of wildlife including the first-class nationally protected wild ass, as well as wild boar, Mongolian gazelle, wolves, foxes, jerboas, snake-headed snakes, and jujube birds.

Visiting this wildly charming “Camel Bell Dream Slope,” you can climb sand dunes, traverse sandy seas, and embark on hiking adventures. Alternatively, ride the “ship of the desert,” listening to the melodious sound of camel bells while admiring the desert scenery. The park offers activities such as sandboarding, hunting, and watching the desert sunrise and sunset, making your desert journey richly diverse and endlessly fun. For those who wish to extend their adventure, overnight stays are available — a romantic experience of “the sky as your blanket and the sand as your bed.” It also serves as an ideal base for educational field trips and is perfect for sand therapy.
