Dunes are north of the Baruunsaikhan Mountains, and in the northern part of the Sevrei and Zuulun Mountains, about 200 kilometres west of Dalanzadgad in Sevrei sum. They extend for 185 kilometres and include dunes that can reach 20 metres in height. The sound produced by the masses of moving sand can be heard from afar, and when it occurs, it is said that it can be mistaken for the sound of an aeroplane. Hence their name "singing sands", or "musical sands". Near Hongor River at the northern edge of the dunes, is an oasis.

Sand dunes in the middle of the Gobi, the south part of Mongolia. 1 hour to walk up in the soft sand, but to run down just a moment, and I wish I could walk up again.
