Here the hues of the barren sand desert with its thick yellow sand and those of the gobi type desert with its lunar-like, gravelly surface (the thin layer of soil, as well as the thin layer of sand below this, have been blown completely away, leaving only slate-colored gravel on the surface), contrast with the lusher green area 500 km to the south, where the mighty Yangtze River flows. Birds can be seen flittering about in the skies of Kumtag Shamo as the sound of tinkling bells focuses one's attention on approaching camels. There is beauty and charm in the Kumtag Shamo.
