In the Heart of the Taklamakan Desert - Daliyabuyi
In the heart of the world's second-largest desert, the Taklamakan Desert, lies an oasis known as Daliyabuyi, which is referred to as a 'paradise on earth' by both Chinese and foreign archaeologists and explorers. Due to its isolation, it remains little known. This mysterious oasis is Daliyabuyi. Since last year, the villagers here have been gradually moving out of the desert, which means that Daliyabuyi will soon become a disappearing village. Therefore, you must visit it as soon as possible.
