We got to Khara Khoto in late afternoon, after about half an hour drive from Ejina Qi. Although they almost completed a nice entrance to the area, you still have some drive until you get close to the ruins... In the middle of nowhere, surrounded by the desert to which the city surrounded many centuries ago.... Not much left, a little bit of the outer walls with some observation towers on one corner, a little of the Buddhist temple and not much else... The sun was going down, there was hardly anybody else around and if you looked at the ruins, the emptiness around them and listen real carefully, you may hear the hoards of the Great Khan getting close to the city ....

额济纳的胡杨林是一个神秘而美丽的地方。每到金秋，换了装的胡杨林呈现给人们梦幻般的美丽。你看那延绵舒缓的山坡上，一层层，一片片，娇嫩的黄，艳丽的黄，舒展的黄，深沉的黄。黄中泛红，红中泛黄，随山就势，有明有暗。明得亮丽，暗得厚重。那漫山遍野的黄色钩着人们的目光，扯着人们的思绪，让人痴，让人醉，让人狂，让人无法自拔。河边就更美了。静静的河水，倒映着岸边的胡杨林，那黄，那美，那幽深，一下子就翻了倍。不管天是否蓝，不管云是否白，在水中和岸边胡杨林的相伴下，人们沉浸在无限的遐想，无比的幸福之中。
走进胡杨林，另一种景象令人感动。在那娇美黄色的下面，有的是沧桑散发出的坚毅、顽强和那不屈不挠。“活着一千年不死，死后一千年不倒，倒后一千年不朽。”这是一种什么样的精神，这是一种什么样的力量。这种精神，体现在“英雄林”里蟠龙苍劲，鳞皱粗犷的树干上，或直，或盘，或旋，或断，枯也彰显着豪气。这种力量，体现在埋在沙地中那一段段的碎枝上，白白的，直直的，光光的，硬硬的。再细也很难折断。有片林子叫作怪树林，里面多为死去的胡杨。就在这怪木嶙峋的尸地里，仅有的几棵活着的树中竟有着“生离死别”和“生死相依”，把人间的悲欢离合表现得惟妙惟肖，情真意切。
胡杨林，有谁能像你一样在这风沙干旱的不毛之地上生机盎然，有谁能像你一样去面对三千年的风雪严寒，有谁像你这样有着冲天豪气，有谁像你这样有的是铁骨铜肩。
美哉，胡杨林。

居延海应该是个很美的地方，虽然我们来的时候碰上大幅度降温和6-7级大风，一个个都冻成狗，站都站不稳，逃都逃不了，但我相信风和日丽的时候，风吹芦苇荡，鸟儿翩翩起舞的景色，一定很美。即使是我们碰到的恶劣天气，这也是一种难得体会。
景点里有电瓶车接送，厕所也蛮多，设施好。应该是个值得逗留的好地方。

This is truly one of the saddest tourist attractions ever. I went there during Mid-Autumn festival when it was overrun with tourists. While the dead trees must have been stunningly beautiful at one time, people standing and sitting on them are quickly destroying something precious. Everyone has to get a picture of him or herself on the trees. People pick up branches and carry them off. Completely distressing.

The Jiuquan Satellite Launch Base is the main Chinese base for testing and launching long range carrier rockets, ballistic missiles, various test satellites in low and medium orbit, application satellites, manned spacecraft and rocket missiles, and also includes the tasks of salvage, emergency life-saving for astronauts, etc. This base is located in the Gobi desert of Inner Mongolia.
Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center "Ask Tiange" is where astronauts lived before they went into space. According to the narrator, the protection of astronauts is no less than that of the giant panda. The average person should keep at least three metres away from an astronaut.
My uploaded photos include the launch tower, and satellite assembly towers. Typically, a rocket is assembled with the satellite and is transferred vertically to the launch tower.

It only got 10 to 15 days to visit E Ji Na Qi when the leaves of Populus euphratica turning yellow from the end of September to the beginning of October. On the early morning beside the river, you could take the most beautiful photographs.
There was also an ancient city in the desert outside E Ji Na Qi town,named Heichengzi, once a Mongolian city abandoned in the history.
