Xinjiang people & the desert coexist in harmony

The Shanshan County of Xinjiang made full use of advantages from local
natural resources in recent years, turning the Kumu Tage Desert (Sand
Mountain) near the county into a national tourist resort. While putting
great efforts in tourism, the county brought along benefits for farmers
around this area and relevant industries. The desert is a national
sight-seeing destination with an area of 1,880 square km, which is the
only big desert in the world abutting on a city.
