🌍 ABOUT THE GOBI DESERT

The Gobi Desert spans southern Mongolia and northern China, covering over 1.3 million km². Unlike sandy deserts, the Gobi features gravel plains, rocky cliffs, and some of the world’s most significant dinosaur fossil beds. It’s known for its harsh climate, dramatic temperature swings, and unique biodiversity, including Bactrian camels and snow leopards. This desert was also part of the historic Silk Road and is closely tied to the Mongol Empire.
