Gobi Desert is distributed in Xinjiang, Qinghai, Gansu, Inner Mongolia and northeastern Tibet. It is the fifth largest desert in the world. In this land of flying sand and stones, there is no vitality except the heavy footsteps of camels carrying people and the jingling of bells around their necks. But this is indeed the most mysterious place in the world. There are many miracles here.
The Gobi Desert was once the hometown of the Mongolian Empire. Besides, Huns and Turks lived here. The most popular saying is that before the earliest, the Gobi Desert was very small, and Mongolians lived here as a grassland.
Only when the environment deteriorated did they have to change places, but this statement cannot be verified, because Mongolia is a nomadic people and there is no clear historical record, so it has become a great doubt here.
The camel caravan on the Gobi Desert is also a great scenery on the Gobi Desert. In this desert, nothing grows, and it takes half a year to cross this1300,000 km desert. But there are camel caravans in this desert, which are specially provided for people who want to cross the desert. Some people say that these camels are raised by residents near the Gobi Desert.
They prepare water and food on camels and then put them in the desert to save those who get lost in the desert. So it is impossible to walk on foot in the desert, unless there is no way out, some people will die, and hearing the sound of camel bells can save their lives.
When they go out, they will buy some camels and prepare some water and food for the nearby residents, so camel caravans will wear them. This is people's kind behavior. They saved those people in trouble in this way.
