     Engbei Ecotourism Area is situated in the central hinterland of the Kubuqi Desert in Ordos, bordering the Yellow River to the north. Established in 1989, it is now a national AAAA-level scenic spot and a national agricultural tourism demonstration site. With the advancement of desert greening and the development of the sand industry, Engbei has leveraged its unique desert landscapes and farming and breeding industries, capitalized on its natural and cultural resources, and organically integrated ecological construction with tourism. It has developed activities such as tree-planting tours, desert oasis sightseeing, rare bird and animal viewing, water recreation, and desert eco-agriculture appreciation. These offerings span five functional zones and more than twenty attractions, making it a world-class desert tourism and leisure destination that combines desert exploration, vacationing, and scientific research.

     Engbei is located on the southern bank of the Yellow River, in the central part of the Kubuqi Desert, within the territory of Wulan Township, Dalad Banner, Ordos City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. "Engbei" is a Mongolian word meaning peace and good fortune. The Engbei Ecotourism Area covers a total area of about 300,000 mu, including 180,000 mu of desert and 120,000 mu of grassland. It is a renowned center for desert control, attracting large numbers of international visitors each year for tree planting and sightseeing. The area currently has over one million trees of various species, reservoirs and ponds covering more than 10,000 mu, one natural mineral water spring, and two singing sand dunes.
