This piece of the Gobi Desert in Western Inner Mongolia hosts some of the tallest dunes in the world...up to 500 m apparently. Even more amazing is the array of lakes dispersed through parts of the dune field. Yowza. Check the area out in Google Earth, turn on the Panoramio layer and check out some amazing photos. 

Some details from our favorite authority on everything:
