Karamay Camel Bell Dream Slope Desert Park

　　Introduction       Located on the southern edge of the Gurbantünggüt Desert in the Junggar Basin, this is a vast, pristine, and rugged desert landscape as well as a natural desert botanical garden. Lush saxaul, dense populus euphratica, fragrant jujube trees, elegant three-awn grass with feathery leaves, aesthetically rugged sow thistle, medicinally valuable rhubarb, cistanche, and astragalus, the jingling camel thorn, the sturdy phoenix tree resembling deer antlers, and the blood-red tamarisk together create a rich natural scene full of color, scent, sound, and visual splendor.

　　      The desert park is also a natural zoo, home to over a hundred species of wildlife including the first-class nationally protected Przewalski's gazelle, 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, wade through sandy seas, and embark on hiking adventures. You can also ride the “ship of the desert,” listening to the soothing sounds of camel bells while admiring the desert scenery. The park offers activities such as sand sliding, hunting, and watching the desert sunrise and sunset, making your desert journey colorful and endlessly entertaining. If you're up for more, you can even stay overnight for 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 the perfect spot for sand therapy.
