 ◆ Chinese girl runs across Tukutage desert in 1 hour

Gulzohra, a 26-year-old Chinese girl, braved the ruthless summer heat to run across the Tukutage desert in western China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region on August 25.

Gulzohra took about one hour to run 12 kilometers across the desert which is located in the Turpan Basin. The Uygur girl started the adventure at 3:44 p.m. (Beijing time) on August 25 and reached her destination one hour later.

It was estimated that the air temperature was 45 degrees centigrade at the time while the ground temperature reached 65 degrees.
