1. Desert: Dancing with Dunes
 Key Skills :  
-  Precision tire pressure control  (0.6–1.8 bar) prevents sinking in soft sand.  
-  Avoid windward slopes  where sand is loosest; maintain momentum uphill, control speed downhill to prevent "flying car" accidents.  
 Iconic Destinations :  
-  Taklamakan Desert  (China’s largest, crossing the "Life Road")  
-  Tengger Desert  (ideal for beginners with rolling dunes)  
-  Kubuqi Desert  (61% mobile dunes, race hotspot)  
 Must-Have Gear :  
> Beadlock wheels + MT tires, snorkel to block sand.

2. Mud: The Slippery Symphony   
 Key Skills :  
- Follow existing ruts; use  gentle throttle + winch  if stuck.  
- Steer decisively—front wheels can suddenly grip firm ground beneath mud.  
 Iconic Destinations :  
-  Medog  (primal rainforest trails, Tibet’s "last secret")  
-  Wuhan Fuhe Wetland  (urban mud-training ground)  
 Must-Have Gear :  
> Manganese steel skid plates, competition bumper, high-pressure washer.

3. Mountain: Where Rocks Rule   
 Key Skills :  
-  Low gears + steady throttle  on loose gravel; hug mountain walls during meets.  
- Avoid gear shifts mid-turn to prevent rollovers.  
 Iconic Destinations :  
-  Bingchacha Route  (Tibet’s deadliest path: single lane + cliffs)  
-  Yunnan East Mountain  (primordial forest + cliffside trails)  
 Must-Have Gear :  
> Nitrogen shocks for lift, roof-mounted Fog Lights.

4. Gobi: The "Three-Jump" Challenge   
 Key Skills :  
- Master " car-jump, people-jump, heart-jump " rhythm on washboard roads.  
- Use high-range gears to stabilize momentum.  
 Iconic Destinations :  
-  Arjin Nature Reserve  (corrugated roads + permit-only wilderness)  
-  Black Gobi  (Silk Road ruins, team-only crossing)  
 Must-Have Gear :  
> Reinforced chassis + roll cage, auxiliary fuel tank (800km+ range).

5. Rocky Fields: Tire Slayer’s Realm   
 Key Skills :  
- Small rocks cut tires; large rocks require  crawling with one wheel elevated .  
- Use 360° cameras to spot stable footholds.  
 Iconic Destinations :  
-  Hoh Xil  (high-altitude rocks + wildlife corridors)  
-  Duku Highway  (seasonal canyons)  
 Must-Have Gear :  
> AT tires + self-healing coating, undercarriage armor.

6. V-Gullies: Frame Twister   
 Key Skills :  
-  Low-speed crawl only ; unibody vehicles risk deformation.  
- Approach diagonally—one tire enters at a time.  
 Iconic Destinations :  
-  Baisigou  (hidden Ningxia canyons)  
-  Lop Nor fringe  (wind-carved trenches)  
 Must-Have Gear :  
> Solid axles + locking differentials, reinforced control arms.

7. Camel Humps: Undulation Warfare   
 Key Skills :  
- Vehicles with  approach/departure angles <25°  risk belly impacts.  
- Descend slopes in low gear; engine braking prevents brake fade.  
 Iconic Destinations :  
-  Heaven’s Gate Highway  (99 bends + consecutive humps)  
-  Tibetan 72 Bends  (high-altitude hump cluster)  
 Must-Have Gear :  
> 200mm+ ground clearance, steel skid plates.

8. Snowfield: Whiteout Survival   
 Key Skills :  
- Use  -30°C antifreeze ; fog lights + hazard blinkers in low visibility.  
- Never stop on slopes—packed snow turns to ice under tires.  
 Iconic Destinations :  
-  Dawagengza  (winter snow trails)  
-  Kanas  (snow plains + frozen lake crossings)  
 Must-Have Gear :  
> Rubber track conversions, heated steering wheel, roof-mounted spotlights.
