Ever wondered what it’s like to see snow in the desert? In the Ningxia region of the Chinese mainland, winter turns the vast Tengger Desert into a dreamy winter wonderland ❄️🏜️. Golden dunes get dusted with pristine white snow, creating a surreal landscape that feels straight out of a fantasy novel.
These stunning scenes are featured in the documentary "Aerial China: Ningxia," which showcases the region’s epic contrasts — from rolling sand hills to snow-capped peaks. Filmed from above, the footage captures the magic of nature’s art, where arid sands meet winter’s chill.
Located in the northwest of the Chinese mainland, Ningxia is known for its diverse scenery and rich cultural heritage. Besides the snowy desert, visitors can explore the Helan Mountains, taste local Hui cuisine, and cruise along the Yellow River. It’s a perfect spot for adventurers and culture buffs alike.
