The Gobi Desert is the largest in Asia, straddling China and Mongolia, and the 5th largest in the world. It covers an area of 1,300,000 km².
Known for its orange dunes, the Gobi also holds significant gold and copper mineral reserves.
As a continental desert, it experiences an extreme variation in temperatures between summer and winter. Winters are bitterly cold, down to -40°C, while summers are often very hot (+50°C).
The Mongolian nomads who live in the Gobi Desert raise yaks and live in yurts. They are increasingly settling closer to towns.
