Introduction to Dikaner Village: Dikaner Village is right in the middle of the northward invasion of the desert between the Kumtag Desert and the Jueluotage Mountains. The Kumtag Desert starts from the northern part of the Tu (Lupan) Shan (Shan) Tuo (Kesun) Basin in the north and reaches the lower reaches of the Tarim River south of Kuluk Tag in the south, facing the Taklimakan Desert across the river. Except for drivers and occasional travelers who travel from Dikaner Village to Rob Desert all year round, few people know about this small village. This was once the only way to reach Lop Nur, the ancient city of Loulan and the "Great Ocean Road" of the Silk Road: from here, you can reach the ancient city of Loulan more than 300 kilometers south. At the same time, Dikaner Village is also the last village leading to the depths of the Kumtag Desert. From here, you can lead to the mysterious Lop Nur and the beautiful Kumtag Desert. This village still retains its quaint living style, with low houses surrounded by adobes, and the roofs are covered with thick dust. If it weren't for the presence of Haloxylon ammodendron firewood, you would be hard-pressed to spot the existence of this desert-like village.
