The Taklimakan Desert, located in the center of the Tarim Basin in southern Xinjiang, is the largest desert in China, the tenth largest desert in the world, and the second largest moving desert in the world.
The entire desert is about 1,000 kilometers long from east to west and about 400 kilometers wide from north to south, covering an area of 330,000 square kilometers. The average annual precipitation does not exceed 100 millimeters, with a minimum of only 4 or 5 millimeters, while the average evaporation is as high as 2,500 to 3,400 millimeters. Here, pyramid-shaped sand dunes stand 300 meters above the plain. Strong winds can blow up sand walls up to three times their height.
The desert has long sand dunes that often move due to the wind. There are also a few plants in the desert whose root systems are extremely developed, dozens or even hundreds of times larger than the above-ground parts, in order to absorb underground water, and the animals here hibernate.
Today, the area that is said to be always sunny and hot has snowed. Desert and snow are two polar opposites that cannot be compatible, but they coexist harmoniously on this snowy day, forming a romantic winter love song, making this sea of death full of tenderness, thus making this desolate desert beautiful.
Two figures came running at a very fast speed in the snow, and then stood under two poplar trees covered in white, looking around, not knowing what they were looking for.
