Ancient China was surrounded by desert, mountains and ocean. They caused China to constantly be at war with other world civilizations. They helped China to establish trade with other civilizations. They isolated the Chinese civilization allowing it to develop independently.

The final retreat of the Paratethys Sea from Central Asia as well as uplift of the Tibetan Plateau changed the regional land-sea thermal balance and contributed to the aridification that resulted in formation of the Taklamakan desert (Zhang et al., 2007; Zheng et al., 2015).

In more recent times, historians discovered that the desert played an important business role in China, with 2 oases (fertile spots in the desert) serving as trading spots on the Silk Road, named as such as it was the most common of the precious goods crossing this area.

Because of the low temperatures, pressure, moisture, distance from sea, and poor vegetation; precipitation is very low in these regions.
