description Gashun Gobi Overview
The Gashun Gobi is a dry region of the Gobi Desert extending across northwestern China and toward adjacent Mongolia. Its surface is characterized largely by gravel plains and other sparsely vegetated desert terrain rather than continuous sand dunes. The region's aridity is linked in part to its continental location and the rain-shadow effects of surrounding mountain systems. It is relevant to the study of Central Asian deserts, desert geomorphology, and arid environments.
