99% of people don't know there's a fun desert hidden near Nanjing?

Who would've thought there's a mini desert so close to Nanjing! It's incredibly fun! Just a 1.5-hour drive from downtown, and though the dunes are shorter than those in Tengger Desert, the moment you step barefoot—wow! The sensation of fine sand slipping between your toes is unbelievably relaxing! [Grin] Pitching a tent here feels like camping in the Northwest! ⛺️ Some people even go off-roading 🚙 or ride motorcycles 🏍️ here. Since it's still relatively unknown, you might have the whole place to yourself—pure bliss! 🧭 Near Maheqi Ferry in Hexian County (manual 🧭 see P9 for reference) 🚗 Best accessed by car! For those in Jiangning: Drive to the southeast bank of Mahe Ferry, take the boat to the opposite shore (Mahe Ferry Station)—this route saves about 30 minutes. (For reference only) 🚢 The ferry supports ETC 🎫 Single trip: ¥25 🌟 Tips: ⚠️ The "desert" is by the river—check tide tables before going. Avoid visiting during high tide.
