Bypassing the undrinkably salty waters of a Badain Jaran lake, Bactrian camels head into the surrounding dunes to forage among patches of vegetation. Able to carry 500 pounds (200 kilograms) each and requiring water only every five to seven days, the Central Asian natives remain an important form of transportation in China’s sand seas.
