Get up early to Tuyugou, enjoy the scenery of the Grand Canyon, visit Tuyugou Thousand Buddha Cave and Tuyugou Mazha, stay away from the noise of the world, enter Mazha Village, and have dinner in the village at noon. After that, I will go to Yang Hailing, listen to Muqam in Lukeqin, visit Wang Fu and Liu Zhongcheng, then go to Dikaner Township to see this "last village" and return to the county seat in the evening. If the time is right, you can also enjoy the colorful doors in Shubaigou Village along the way. If the sun hasn't set, go to Kumtag desert park to experience the desert scenery in the sunset.

kumtag desert

Kumutag Desert is the third largest desert in China and the only desert connected with the city in the world. It is called "the desert in the city". It consists of two parts: artificial garden and natural scenery of sand mountain. It is a scenic spot integrating scientific research, investigation, exploration, sand sports, sand therapy and health care, and desert sightseeing.

Kumutage Desert Scenic Spot is a national AAAA-level scenic spot. There are various types of wind and sand landforms in the scenic area, and the sand dunes are clearly defined. The ridge line is smooth and smooth, and the sand waves on the windward side are like water, and the sand on the leeward side falls like diarrhea, attracting a large number of photographers every year.

Kumutage means "sand mountain" in Uygur language. It is formed by two strong winds blowing from Qijiaojing well in Tianshan Mountain and the tuyere of Dabancheng, carrying a lot of sand over a long distance and finally colliding and depositing in Kumutage area. For thousands of years, the Kumutage Desert and Shanshan have maintained a state of "sand does not enter, the city does not retreat", which is a miracle of nature.

In the scenic area, you can also enjoy recreational projects such as sand motorcycle and sand therapy, and enjoy the wonderful works of sand sculpture masters from all over the world.

kumtag desert

There are typical wind erosion landforms in Kumtag Desert, such as Ya Dan, aeolian ridges and wind erosion pits. The types of sand dunes include grid sand dunes, crescent sand dunes, honeycomb sand dunes, pyramid sand dunes, star sand dunes and linear sand dunes. The pioneers of aeolian landforms in China once judged from aerial photographs that there are unique "feather" dunes in the world. However, in-depth investigation has caused a heated debate among modern scholars on the "feather" sand dune. There are three representative views: First, the "feathered" dunes do not exist, and the black and white stripes on aerial and remote sensing images are caused by the albedo of different substances on the flat surface.

The researchers themselves named a new sand dune "rake"; Secondly, feather dunes exist, which are deformed longitudinal dunes. The researchers named a new dune "Tongue". Thirdly, feather dunes do not exist, but are two kinds of dunes with different spatial scales. Researchers identified the "Zibar" dune in the classification system of aeolian landforms. The "feather" sand dunes in Kumtag Desert are still an unsolved mystery. The desert is also the main channel and habitat for the migration of wild bactrian camels in winter and spring (three national nature reserves have been established in this desert area, namely Lop Nur Wild Camel National Nature Reserve in Xinjiang, Annanba Wild Camel National Nature Reserve in Gansu and Dunhuang West Lake National Nature Reserve in Gansu).

Kumtag Desert Scenic Area has complete types of wind, sand, landform and landscape. Desert landforms include sand nest land, honeycomb sand land, flat sand land, wavy sand dune land, fish scale sand slope land, desert Gobi mixed land and so on. The sand dunes have clear outline and distinct layers; The ridgeline is smooth, with windward sand slopes like water, and back sand slopes like diarrhea.

Standing on the top of the sand mountain deep in the desert, you can watch the magnificent sunrise in the desert, witness the colorful sunset stained with sand, and enjoy the magnificent scenery of "the desert is lonely and the long river sets the yen". The southern edge of Kumtag Desert is another passage of the ancient Silk Road connecting Shazhou (Dunhuang) and Xizhou (Turpan) in Tang Dynasty. According to the records of the Tang Dynasty, "Dahai Road starts from the right side of Liu Zhong County (now Lukeqin Town, Shanshan) and reaches Shazhou (Dunhuang) in the southeast for 1,360 miles. Frequent quicksand makes pedestrians get lost. There are springs and wells, salty and bitter, and no grass. Monkey was trapped and cheated because he carried water and grain and took sand and stones. " Due to the harsh environment and dangerous roads, the Kumtag Desert was called the "Ghost of Catastrophe" in the Tang Dynasty. The sea route became the most mysterious and dangerous road in the ancient Silk Road, and it is still shrouded in mystery, attracting countless brave Chinese and foreign explorers.
