Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, called Xin for short, is located in the northwest border of China, with Urumqi as the capital, and is one of the five minority autonomous regions in China. I have collected and shared the introduction of tourist attractions in Xinjiang. Come and have a look if you like!
Taklimakan Ma Kan
Taklimakan Desert is located in the center of Tarim Basin in southern Xinjiang. It is the largest desert in China, the tenth largest desert in the world and the second largest mobile desert in the world. Sand dunes extend in the desert and are often blown by the wind. Here, pyramid-shaped sand dunes stand 300 meters above the plain.
Taklimakan Desert, located in the heart of Tarim Basin, was once the meeting place of four ancient civilizations in the world, and also the area where the famous Silk Road passed, with many historical sites and rich folk customs. The long geological changes have created three "seas" in Taklimakan; The surface is sand sea, the underground is water sea, and the deep is oil sea.
Tarim Oilfield has now become an important replacement area for China's petroleum strategy in 2 1 century. The sea of sand, water and oil has finally turned the Taklimakan Desert, once a "sea of death", into a "sea of hope".
Gurbantunggut Desert
Gurbantunggut Desert is the second largest desert in China and the largest fixed and semi-fixed desert in China.
It is a sea of coal. The great prosperity of Jurassic life not only made Junggar the richest area of ancient biological relics such as silicified wood and dinosaurs in China, but also made Junggar one of the richest coal reserves in China. The predicted coal reserves in eastern Junggar reach 374.76 billion tons, ranking first among Xinjiang's five hundred billion tons coalfields.
An "oil sea" and a "coal sea" make the two largest deserts in China the most concerned deserts.
kumtag desert
Desert area 1880 square kilometers; It is the desert closest to the city in the world, and it is also one of the three national key scenic spots in Xinjiang alongside Tianchi Lake and Bosten Lake.
Walking on the Gobi Desert. All feelings are just sand, fine sand and coarse sand, birds in the desert don't fly, extending endless sorrow: lonely days are blue, lonely words are yellow, and lonely years are long ... However, it seems to write the motto of sunshine lightly or heavily. As if standing in the season, writing the legend of the Gobi Desert. In fact, the Gobi desert also has a few simple words: primitive! Desolate! Nature!
In Xinjiang, there are desert Gobi where precipitation is scarce, and forests and grasslands are formed where precipitation is abundant. Where there is melting ice and snow, there is fertile land.
We have Tarim basin in the south and Junggar basin in the north, and there are artificial oases and natural oases around the basin. Under the irrigation of the melting water of the mountains, the rich basin provides people here with rich and colorful food, and also creates a unique ethnic customs here.
Five grasslands in Xinjiang
Bayinbuluke prairie
Bayinbuluke Grassland, located in Hejing County, Xinjiang, means "rich spring" in Mongolian. Spring water, stream water and snow water flow into the lake, with rich aquatic plants, rich food and cool and humid climate. It is the most fertile summer pasture in the southern foot of Tianshan Mountain. The famous Swan Lake-the only swan nature reserve in China is here.
Nalati prairie
Nalati is a flowery summer air grassland under the Tianshan Mountains. With dense mountain springs, criss-crossing streams, criss-crossing rivers, dense forests, slow ups and downs of Yuan Ye, pine pagoda and stone pillars beside ditches, numerous yurts, and floating herds, it is an important summer pasture in Gongnaisi grassland.
Balikun prairie
"Chilechuan, below the mountain, the sky is like a vault, and the cage covers the fields. The sky is wild, and the wind and grass are moving to see cattle and sheep. " The place described in this poem is the Balikun Prairie. It can be seen that since ancient times, Balikun has been a grassland with flocks of cattle and sheep and abundant water plants, the seat of 36 countries in the western regions and one of the "three major pastures" in Tianshan Mountain.
