Mu Us Desert is located between Yulin City of Shaanxi Province and Yikezhao League of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, covering an area of 42,200 square kilometers. The Great Wall of Wan Li runs through the southern edge of the desert from east to west. According to research, in ancient times, this area was a good pasture with abundant water plants and pleasant scenery. Later, due to climate change and war, the ground vegetation was completely lost, and sand was cultivated in situ, forming the later desert (sand). There used to be a story about "Three Major Movements in Yulin". Today, Yulin is already a "famous city".

The elevation of Mu Us sandy land is mostly at1100 ~1300m, slightly higher in the northwest, reaching 1400 ~ 1500m, and it can reach 1600m in some areas. The valley in the southeast is as low as 950 meters. Mu Us Sandy Land is mainly located in the lake alluvial plain depression between Ordos Plateau and Loess Plateau. Beams exposed at the periphery of the sand area and extending into the sand area are mainly Cretaceous red and gray sandstone, and the rock strata are basically horizontal, and most of the beams have flat top surfaces. Various Quaternary sediments are obviously sandy, and loose sand layers are transported by the wind to form flowing quicksand. Plain high beach land (including plain watershed land and Liangbian high beach land) is mainly distributed in Holocene Pliocene lacustrine alluvium.
