One of the beautiful sand dune in the Gobi is the Khongor Sand Dunes that extend more than 180 km (112 miles) with majestic heights of 15-30 m along the northern side of Sevrei and Zuulun mountain ranges.
The largest dunes are northwest of the range up to 800 meters high The Khongor Sand Dunes are some of the largest and most impressive white sand dunes in Mongolia. The dunes make a sound like the plane engine on a windy day so it has been named as "Singing Dunes".
From the top of the sand dunes, the view of the desert is awesome. The Khongoryn River flows along the sand dunes and gives birth to oases. The sand dune changes the color with each hour of one day, from yellow to silver to rise colored at dawn/sundown.
Picturesque Khongor Sand dunes against a sky of blue or a full moon, with perfectly contoured shadows of ripples and undulating crests, have always been a favorite subject of photographers. Depending on one's particular situation, sand dunes can be one of the most incredibly beautiful, thrilling, eerie, treacherous or just plain inhospitable places on earth.
