Gurbantunggut, a wet desert in Xinjiang

00:38

Located in the Junggar Basin, the Gurbantunggut Desert is the second largest desert in China, as well as the largest fixed and semi-fixed desert. Known as a wet desert because the sand dunes are covered in snow in winter, it is inhabited by a few ephemeral plants and drought-tolerant animals.
