There are two ways to play in this place. The first is to take a speedboat or drive into the scenic spot by car. You can buy a package ticket, including speedboat, motorboat, sandy off-road, camel riding, water bicycle, etc. The first method is suitable for leisure travel such as taking pictures, parent-child and other leisure travel. The second is that people with desert cross-country experience enter through the gate to wear sand. Ulanbu and desert difficulty coefficient is high. If you don't drive an off-road vehicle and have no desert driving experience, don't blindly wear sand.
