China's loneliest city, surrounded by uninhabited areas where few people tread

Although it is said that uninhabited areas are sparsely populated and shrouded in mystery, there are many large and small pristine natural landscapes scattered and spread out here. Among them, in our country, there is such a city, where few people tread and it is surrounded by uninhabited areas, yet it is unimaginably beautiful! Therefore, some people call it the loneliest city in China. Friends who are curious might ask, where exactly is this loneliest city in China? What kind of different landscapes does it have? With these questions and curiosities, today let's talk about the stories of Mangya City. Mangya City, belonging to Haixi Mongolian and Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Qinghai Province, is located on the northwestern frontier of Qinghai Province, on the western edge of the Qaidam Basin, with a total area of 49,900 square kilometers. Its geographical location is very unique, being at the junction of Qinghai, Xinjiang, and Gansu provinces (regions), a position that is unique in the entire province. It is surrounded by vast plateaus and deserts, almost an uninhabited area. The nearest city to Mangya is Dunhuang City in Gansu Province, which is still separated by more than 390 kilometers of desolate Gobi, making Mangya City seem like an isolated island.
