Powerful, 900km hard core attack, driving the Chinese version of "Highway 66"


On September 30, the first day of the trip, players faced a huge test. The whole day plan is 900 kilometers, including about 260 kilometers of sand roads. Such a long distance self driving is not a small challenge for people and cars.


In the morning, the motorcade set out from Xi'an Club, drove more than 600 kilometers, and arrived at Tenggris Town, the middle back of Ningxia at noon. This place is located in the most famous Shapotou Scenic Area at the southern edge of Tengger Desert. It is not far from the border with Alashan, Inner Mongolia. It is also located here as the fourth largest desert in China that must be visited in one's life - Tengger Desert. It combines desert, Yellow River, mountains and oases. It has both magnificent northwest scenery and beautiful scenery of the southern Yangtze River on the frontier.



There is basically no signal in the hinterland of the desert. Flowing sand dunes rise and fall like waves. Without fixed road signs, it is easy to get lost. Even experienced outdoor enthusiasts should not enter alone. But if you want to enjoy the pure desert scenery, you don't have to worry about it. Under the guidance of experienced guides, it is a better way to drive a great general pickup truck with excellent off-road performance across the desert.

Zhongwei No. 66 Highway penetrates the mountains and valleys. On one side of the road is the southern entrance of Tengger Desert. The desert is vast and spectacular; The other side is accompanied by the Yellow River, winding along the line of water and sky.

Among them, the extreme road section is 80km long, with changeable road conditions and scenery. Oasis, lakes, wasteland, Danxia, and ancient city sites come in succession, which are wonderful.

The large Danxia and Yadan landforms in the Yinshan Grand Canyon are known as "colorful holy mountains" by herdsmen. The mountains on both sides of the canyon are red, yellow, gray, white and other colors. Against the blue sky and clear days, the mountains are surrounded by colorful Hada.
