It used to be a formidable combination of sand dunes and deserted land area and it was huge to me as a kid.By the influence of land reformation this sand contracted to a small place as in this photo. I used to go to this place a great amount of times with my family to get burred in the hot sand. People always say that this is the best remedy for arthritis , I never heard anyone recovered completely applying this HOME REMEDY. It is about 15 Km away from Kashgar. It can be so hot that you are not willing to bury yourself but once you are in the sand you start to sweat and the sand sucks all the water come out of your body, you dehydrate,you complain while you are drinking water, After a couple minutes it feels so comfy. I heart stories that people burred themselves and because it is so comfortable they fell asleep and found dead next day. I assume that they probably had a heart attack and the heart stopped beating. But it is not that dangerous ,as long as you have an alarm clock beside you ,you can get up before anything can happen.
