Yulong Sand Lake
玉龙沙湖
A desert lake scenic area on the western edge of the Horqin Sandy Land in Ongniud Banner, with sand sliding, dune buggies and a lake in one view.
Yulong Sand Lake lies on the western edge of the Horqin Sandy Land in Ongniud Banner. It is named after the Hongshan culture jade dragon unearthed at Sanxingtala in Ongniud Banner, known as the 'First Dragon of China.' Rolling golden dunes surround the lake. Visitors can try sand sliding, dune buggies, camel riding, lake boat trips and desert camping, and the night sky is beautiful. It is about 1.5 hours by car from Chifeng city, which makes it suitable for a day trip. Daytime temperatures on the sandy land are high, so wear sun protection and keep cameras and phones protected from sand.
