China 🇨🇳, Mongolia 🇲🇳, Gobi Desert
The Gobi Desert is one of the largest deserts in the world and the largest desert in Asia. A huge arc of a long chain of deserts and semi-deserts stretches for more than 1600 km in the southern third of Mongolia and the northern provinces of China. Geographers divide this Asian desert into the Trans-Altai and Mongolian Gobi, Alashan, Gashun Gobi and Dzungaria.
The total area of the desert lands covers an area of 1.295 million km2.
The terrain here is elevated to an altitude of 800 to 1700 m above sea level, and due to this, the Gobi has the most sharply continental climate on Earth. In the summer months, the temperature in the desert can rise above +45 ° C, and in winter it can drop to -40 ° C.
