Crossing the Five Lakes can be done for about 300 per person

Arrive at Yinchuan from anywhere in the country, and arrange pick-up and drop-off in advance for 150 per person per trip. Once you have purchased the necessary supplies, you can set off! The driver will depart around 6 AM and arrive at the starting point of the Dream Road around 8 AM! After that, it's all up to you... The entire route is 50 kilometers and takes about 50 hours to complete on foot, crossing the Five Lakes! Camp at Ulan Lake on the first day, at Moon Lake on the second day! You can reach the finish line by noon on the third day! In November, the temperature difference between morning and evening in Tengger Desert is significant, so the first thing every day is to air out your sleeping bag! Walking in the desert is quite exhausting, as the entire route is soft sand! You also have to cross countless sand dunes that look like ripples, going up and down, plus a few higher dunes. The whole journey is very physically demanding! It's much easier than walking in the desert during summer... Necessary food supplies are essential, with resupply points only at Swan Lake, Ulan Lake, and Sun Lake! Sunscreen, sand protection, and warmth (hat, gloves) are indispensable.
