One of my friends directed me today, I set up my own profile picture on Nyan-8.
This photo shows me riding a camel in the Tengger Desert of Ningxia, China in June 2019. This is a Bactrian camel, unique to China.
In the photo, I looked so relax riding on the back of a camel, but it was actually full of danger. I rode on the camel while he was kneeling down. When I sit on his back and the owner of the camel commanded him to stand up, this was the most dangerous moment. The camel suddenly straightened its two front legs for the first time and his two hind legs for the second time. If I didn't not grasp tightly, I would fall from a three meter high camel's back down to the ground. The same went for getting off the camel's back.
Growing up in a big city, I experienced an Intimate contact with camel.
