Gobi Desert (戈壁沙漠) Posted by Stephen on Dec 7, 2011 in Uncategorized

The photos below are taken from a 1,500 km trek across the greater Gobi Desert or (戈比) area. The trip spanned from the most western reaches of Xinjiang province (新疆), through Inner Mongolia (内蒙古) and concluding in Gansu Province (甘肃). Check out the diverse climates, altitudes, and scenery as we retrace the steps of thousands of merchants along the historic Silk Road (丝路).
