The story of the Gobi Shoal

Xinjiang is a place where just wandering around, you can fall in love with the scenery along the way. At some point, we came to a Gobi shoal. Having never seen it before, we decided to stop and take a look, maybe snap a photo for a keepsake. After getting out of the car, the view that greeted us was a shallow Gobi hiding a meandering little river. This scene, never seen before, was particularly precious. Looking at it, we thought about setting up camp right there, grabbing some snacks and beer, and just drinking while waiting for the sunset, not wanting to leave. The flocks of sheep and herds of cattle by the roadside are a characteristic of this place, creating an especially harmonious picture. The mentality of food lovers is to slaughter one and roast it for a meal. Coming to Xinjiang, one must not waste their taste buds. The air here is exceptionally fresh against this beautiful backdrop. Take a breath, and it's refreshing to the core. Unexpectedly, it became the favorite of us travelers, and perhaps also the favorite of the locals, because they don't boast much. The simple folks will tell you, this is all natural! Alright, I've remembered this beautiful scene. Throwing a few stones into the river, we playfully competed to see whose stones could skip further. What a delightful jest! After a brief rest, we continued on our way, with more beautiful scenery ahead to be continued~
