Jangwa la Gobi

Jangwa la Gobi (kwa Kiingereza: Gobi Desert; kwa lugha ya Mandarin linaitwa Gobi, 戈壁, yaani brushland) ni jangwa kubwa la Asia^[1] likienea kwa kilomita mraba 1,295,000^[2].

Ramani ya jangwa la Gobi.

Linaenea kaskazini mwa China na kusini mwa Mongolia, kusini kwa milima ya Altai.

Sababu yake ni kwamba nyanda za juu za Tibet huzuia mvua kutoka Bahari ya Hindi zisifike hadi Gobi.

Katika historia ni maarufu kama sehemu ya Dola la Mongolia na mahali pa miji muhimu ya Silk Road.
