Badan Jilin (Badain Jaran) desert is China's most beautiful desert. Located in the northern part of Inner Mongolia's Lashanyouqi, it covers an area of almost 47,000 square kilometers, making it the fourth largest in the world. The Badanjilin Desert is bounded to the north by: the Gobi Desert; to the east by Mount Lang,to the southeast by Mount Yabraishan. In the northwestern part there are about 10,000 square kilometers untouched by man. Even though it's dry beyond imagination, without a drop of water, Badanjilin has 113 explored lakes providing homes for all kinds of aquatic birds. These lakes give the desert its name "Badain Jaran" which is Mongolian for "mysterious lakes"

The last time we went was in April and the weather wasn't too hot, the desert flowers were all blooming, grass was green and water in the lakes was warm enough for us to swim
Something that surprised me was to find people living in the desert and at their homes they have their own well. These wells weren't deep and provided them with nice clean drinking water. Miraculous!

October is also a good month to go as in this desert there are many poplar trees which in the fall all turn a golden colour.
