A national desert rugby invitational tournament recently kicked off in Jinshaling Tourism Area in Hanggin Banner of Ordos, with six teams comprising over 80 athletes competing amid the endless undulating dunes. 

English rugby rules were adopted, while the high temperature and soft sand court pushed the athletes' endurance to its limits!
