In the sandy Taklamakan desert in northwestern China, an amazing figure appeared after a snowfall - the figure of a dragon, CGTN TV channel reports.

Taklamakan is one of the largest sandy deserts in the world. The first snowfall this year has begun in the interior of the desert, located in the Bazhou County of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. As a result of the precipitation, the shape of a dragon "loomed" on a white blanket.
