Bayazang, Mongolia - Lightening Over The Ger by David Min Via Flickr: The Flaming Cliffs site, also known as Bayanzag, sometimes Bain-Dzak (red cliffs), is a region of the Gobi Desert in the Ömnögovi Province of Mongolia, in which important fossil finds have been made. It was given this name by American paleontologist Roy Chapman Andrews, who visited in the 1920s. The area is most famous for yielding the first discovery of dinosaur eggs. Other finds in the area include specimens of Velociraptor and eutherian mammals. It is illegal here to remove fossils without appropriate permits. The red or orange color of the sandstone cliffs (especially at a sunset), hence the nickname.

蒙古南部的戈壁 Gobi（二）

在戈壁要看到一大片沙的沙漠大概就是這裡了。

Khongoryn Els 這裡有巨大的沙丘，這些是因為強風吹到山谷後盤旋留下來的沙，在附近形成了一大片名副其實的“沙”漠，連綿不絕的沙丘中，最高的有達到300米。

這裡因為沙丘景觀吸引不少遊客，所以也有不少定點的蒙古包民宿接待遊客入住。

沙丘邊緣有條小河，所以附近仍有綠色的草地和牧場，這裡的牧民大概就是養羊和駱駝，所以騎駱駝也是熱門的活動之一。

我們在這裡的蒙古包住宿時，也可以看到牧民每天放羊擠奶的日常。

我們也正好遇到牧民在搭建蒙古包，這裡的蒙古包都是面朝南方開門，在中間立起半球型天窗的兩根支柱，象徵家庭裡的男人與女人。天窗下會繫條繩子掛個重物或綁塊石頭固定，天窗外披的帆布一角綁有繩子，可以從外面的控制天窗的開關。

傍晚日落前大家都會去到最高的沙丘等日落，還有很多人會帶著滑沙板爬上去，就等看完日落一路衝回沙丘腳下。

Bayanzag 又稱火焰崖，因為在夕陽餘暉下，這些砂岩懸崖會呈現很漂亮的橘紅色。

這裡也是世界上第一個發現恐龍蛋的地方，從此科學家可以確認恐龍不是胎生。景區入口處有個小小的博物館，可以看一段當初的探險隊發現恐龍蛋的紀錄片。

這裡大概是戈壁景點中我最喜歡的一個。

A giugno ero nel deserto del Gobi con alcuni amici fotografi, ricordo che c'era un vento tremendo ma siamo riusciti comunque a fare dei bellissimi scatti.

Tra i posti più belli ricordo Khongor e Bayanzag dove tutto si tinne di rosso al tramonto. Qui sono state trovate alcune uova di dinosauro e alcuni scheletri di dinosauri decenni fa.
