What's the sound of Xiangshawan?

Xiangshawan is called "Bremangha" in Mongolian, which means "sand dunes with horns". Located at the eastern end of Kubuqi Desert in Dalat Banner, Inner Mongolia, 50 kilometers north of Grassland Steel City. The tall sand dunes are crescent-shaped, about 80 meters high and span several kilometers. The golden sand slope is hidden under the blue sky and white clouds, showing the magnificent scene of the vast sand sea entering the sky, just like a golden Wolong. National AAAA-level scenic spot. Located in the middle of Dalate Banner, Ordos City, Inner Mongolia.

From Hohhot to Baotou, the eastern expressway can be subcontracted, and the south is 50 kilometers away from Baotou city. It belongs to the desert natural scenic spot, and it is a crescent mound chain or lattice mound landform. 1984 1 was designated as a scenic spot by Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, 199 1 was listed as a national scenic spot by China National Tourism Administration, and was rated as a 4A-level scenic spot by China National Tourism Administration in 2002. Xiang Sha Wan's Mystery Xiang Sha Yin Ken Xiang Sha (that is, Xiang Sha Wan) ranks first among all Xiang Sha in China and is known as the "King of Xiang Sha".

It is located in the south of Dalat Banner in Ordos City, Inner Mongolia, at the eastern end of Kubuqi Desert, 50 kilometers north of Baotou City, a grassland steel city. Yinken is Mongolian and means "forever" in Chinese. Yinken Xiangsha stands steeply on the west bank of Hantai Valley, and a clear spring gushes out from the bottom of the slope. The sand height of Xiangshawan is 1 10 m, and the width is 400 m, with its back facing the mountains and rivers and its leeward facing the sunny slope. The terrain is crescent-shaped and the slope is inclined at a 45-degree angle, forming a huge echo wall of sand dunes.

When the sand is dry, tourists climb ladders or take cable cars to the top of Yinken Dune and slide down. Dunes will rumble, from the croak of frogs to the roar of cars and planes, more like an impassioned symphony. The desert area of Xiangshawan is about 6.5438+0.6 million square kilometers, and the slope of sand slope is about 50. There is no vegetation on it, and falling from the top of the sand dune will make a "buzzing" sound. It is still a mystery that Xiangshawan sings the miracle of sand. For thousands of years, people can't explain the reason for the rustling of sand, but they have given it many beautiful legends.

Legend has it that a long time ago; This is a large-scale Lama Temple. Just as more than a thousand lamas gathered to chant Buddhist scriptures, beat gongs and drums and blow horns, a strong wind suddenly blew, and in an instant, the temple was buried in the desert. This voice is the voice of the monk's ghost still beating drums and blowing horns. The legend is beautiful, but it can't solve the mystery of ringing sand. In recent years, scholars have put forward "landform theory", "ringing box principle" and "electrostatic theory" to reveal its causes. Some people think that the sand dunes in Xiangshawan contain a lot of gold, so they make noise. Some people think that the fine sand and dry sand on the desert surface are the causes of sand singing.

Xiangshawan is backed by Kubuqi Desert, a leading desert, and faces Hantai Dachuan, also known as Yinken Xiangsha. Sand height110m, width 200m and slope 45 degrees. The huge crescent echo wall of Shashan Mountain is attached to the edge of the desert, which is a rare, rare and precious natural tourism resource. The desert water purification sand lake is about 2 kilometers south of the echo wall of Yueyasha Mountain. It is a small sand pool that is not thirsty all the year round, and it is a rare "desert spring". About 3 kilometers to the west from Husha Lake, there is a highland higher than the desert, with an altitude of 1486 meters, on which there is the famous Kubuqiyin Ken Aobao. The mysterious sand song phenomenon attracts tourists at home and abroad. The sound of sand is like the roar of spring pine, summer frogs croak, autumn apes croak, and winter thunder breaks the sky. There are different opinions about the cause of the ringing sand. Scientists have done a lot of scientific investigations, including screening and cleaning theory, triboelectric theory, geographical environment theory, "bell box" theory and so on. The mystery of ringing sand is still being explored. ?

Xiangshawan's tourism resources combine the vigorous desert culture and the profound Mongolian heritage, and reflect the enthusiastic desert activities and unique ethnic customs. It has rare and magical scenery of ringing sand, vast scenery of Kubuqi desert, the world's first desert ropeway, the largest camel group in China, the first-class Mongolian national art troupe in China, and dozens of thrilling activities with unique desert tourism characteristics. Visitors can take a sightseeing cableway in the desert, have a bird's-eye view of the spectacular scene of the desert, slide and dance on the beach, ride camels, ride a desert surfing car, play paragliding and space balls in the desert and get close to the desert.

Xiangshawan is not only a mysterious natural wonder, but also a happy desert world. In recent years, Xiangshawan has developed tourism such as camel riding, desert paragliding, sand skiing and local folk songs and dances, making Xiangshawan more attractive. The sand dunes here are distributed continuously and the scenery is spectacular. The bright yellow desert is endless. There is a crescent-shaped Shawan with a length of 500 meters from east to west in the scenic spot. The height of the dune is110m, and the slope is 40 degrees. When sliding down from the top of the dune, the sand will roar, forming a famous spectacle of "ringing sand", which is a rare natural landscape. Besides, riding camels and paragliders here will make you excited and unforgettable. Skiing here is really the most enjoyable thing. When you sit on the sand dunes and stretch your legs forward, you will hear a "buzzing" roar in your ears. With the acceleration of taxiing speed, the sound is getting louder and louder, which is amazing. Riding a camel and exploring the sand sea is another experience. On the swaying hunchback, the bright blue sky, white clouds and yellow sand are endless, which makes people feel unreal. ?

According to the legend of Xiangshawan, in ancient times, a fairy traveled around the world, came here, sat on the sand, played music to relieve fatigue, and the wonderful divine comedy infiltrated into the sand. Every time tourists pass by here, they can hear the divine comedy of shifting sand.

Some people say that Buddha Sakyamuni preached scriptures all over the world and one day came to Ordos Plateau to recite scriptures to believers. Loud chanting stayed in Xiangshawan. From then on, people can listen to the teachings of the Buddha and avoid going astray.

It is also said that a long time ago, there was a Lama Temple with magnificent architecture and strong incense. One day, more than a thousand lamas were chanting on the floor. The sound of Buddha was endless, bells and drums were ringing, and the sky suddenly changed. The wind swept through the yellow sand and buried the temple in the desert. Now people hear the sound of sand, that is, lamas chanting, playing drums and blowing horns under the sand.

There are many legends about Xiangshawan. But to really uncover the mystery of this natural phenomenon, we have to rely on scientific research. Scientists have put forward various explanations from different angles: some people think that there is a lot of time in the sand on the surface of the dune. When the sand layer is pushed by external force, the quartz sand rubs against each other to generate electricity, and the sound made by the sand is the sound of discharge.

Some people think that Xiangshawan is crescent-shaped, which causes the echo when the sand slides.

Some people think that the evaporation of water under the sand dunes forms a steam wall invisible to the naked eye, while on the ridge line of the sand dunes, strong light forms a hot air layer, which just forms a "* * * sound box", and the sand layer will make a sound when it is stirred or blown by the wind.
