Desert in northern China (4)

I believe the answer is:

gobi

(Other definitions for gobi that I've seen before include "Dry spot" , "vast arid expanse" , "Large desert plateau of southern Mongolia and northern China" , "Desert in east Asia" , "very dry place" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times and the Universal.
