To push forward the cultural and sport interchanges between Taiwan
and the inland of China and make the compatriots in Taiwan to know
more of their motherland, a bicycle orienteering rally through the
Taklamakan Desert highway will be held this September in Xinjiang.
Some 50 bicycle-fans from Taiwan and 100 others from China's Mainland
are expected to attend this orienteering rally.
The desert highway, stretching in the middle of Tarim Basin, also
the innermost of Taklamakan desert, the second large one in the
world, is the longest highway built in moving desert. The 522-km
long road starts from Luntai County, Bayingoleng Mongolian Autonomous
Prefecture and ends at Minfeng County, Khotan, south of Xinjiang.
