Jiangxi, located in the south of the Yangtze River, hides such a large desert.

"Every time I miss you, a grain of sand falls from the sky, and the Sahara has been formed since then."

San Mao said this in her Story of the Sahara. At this time, the desolate and heartless desert became the holy land of her insipid and passionate love with Jose, and even countless people.

Everyone who yearns for love and freedom seems to hide a story of Sahara. Rolling dust is more like rolling red dust, and the desert at this time is not so terrible.

When it comes to the desert, everyone will definitely think of the northwest, which seems to have nothing to do with the misty rain water town in the south of the Yangtze River. But in Nanchang, the capital of Jiangxi Province, there is such a large area of desert hidden.

This is the Houtian Desert located in Houtian, Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, and has the reputation of "the first desert in the south of the Yangtze River". Someone said: "Not to mention that this is rare in Jiangxi and even the whole Jiangnan area."

Then why is there a big desert here How is it formed? Next, Chu Qiu will take you to find out.

Nanchang has been known as the Water City since ancient times. In 675 AD, Wang Bo, who wrote that "the sunset is lonely in Qi Fei, and the autumn waters are * * * one color", probably didn't expect Zhang Yucheng to have a large desert now.

This is Houtian Desert, located in Houtian Township, Xinjian District, Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province, about 30 kilometers away from downtown Nanchang. This desert is big enough to cover three quarters of Paris.

All this has to start from Houtian. According to legend, this place has always been fertile land, with vast land, fertile soil and rich products, hence the name "Houtian".

Houtian is located in the middle and lower reaches of Ganjiang River, on the west bank of Ganjiang River where Ganjiang River meets Jinjiang River. The river flows slowly here, and the sediment carried by the river is easy to deposit. Sedimentation caused the riverbed to rise continuously, causing the diversion of the Ganjiang River. The place where Houtian Desert is located naturally becomes a part of the ancient riverbed of Ganjiang River.

In addition, Jiangxi is dominated by red soil, which contains more silt and fine sand, and its texture is loose, which is easy to cause soil erosion, especially in the mountainous and hilly areas in the upper reaches of Ganjiang River.

In this way, the sediment carried by the Ganjiang River from the south was transported in the high water period and deposited in the low water period, which provided an important reason for the formation of the Houtian desert.

Of course, there are human factors. Fragile ecology is more likely to form desert under the condition of indiscriminate planting, deforestation and ecological destruction.

This is the case in Houtian Desert, which is formed by many factors.

I never thought there were myths and legends in Houtian Desert. It is said that Chang 'e's maid fell in love with Houtian, and then the ending of the story was similar to that of many fairies, including the introduction of Sharon to make waves in the Ganjiang River, which brought dust.

Legends are legends after all. Now, walking into the Houtian desert will really make people feel like they are in the northwest desert, and even make you believe that the original "lonely smoke in the desert can set the Jiangnan yen" can also appear.

Nowadays, Houtian Desert has been developed into a scenic spot, and it has also become a place where many surrounding tourists and donkey friends often come to punch in.

On the banks of the Ganjiang River, at the end of the desert, barren land. Oasis is accompanied by great rivers, but it is not desolate and barren, miserable and desolate.

On the long yellow sand, the camel walking slowly, under the clear sky and scorching sun, has a trace of Sahara tenderness and heat. I don't know if Sanmao and Jose came to this desert, would they still sing the song of the world of mortals?

Houtian Desert is not a place for internet celebrities to travel, and even many people don't know that there is a desert here. Many friends who admire this place are either curious or really regard this desert as a romantic home for wandering souls.

Not all people can do it, and not all deserts can turn rolling dust into rolling red dust.

The Houtian Desert was even once stained with the color of "worry".

Some people say that there is a desert on the edge of the southeast provincial capital city, and local people should not be happy, but should be more worried!

Indeed, desertification is not a good thing, and the harm caused by sandstorms can be imagined.

Think about it carefully, if the south wind blows in midsummer, the hot air mass on the sand surface will directly hit Nanchang City.

If it is in the middle of winter, the strong northwest wind will blow up dust, invade village farmland and silte up river paddy fields, which will naturally have a serious impact on Nanchang's ecological environment.

Therefore, the desert advertised as romantic and heroic still hides ecological hidden dangers.

Nanchang has experienced sandstorms. Since then, the local government has made great efforts to control desertification and formed a policy of coordinating governance and development.

Finally, Houtian Desert Scenic Area opened to the outside world one after another, and this "desert in Jiangnan Oasis" constantly broke into people's field of vision.

This is the Houtian Desert, a desert hidden in the south of the water town. It has no yellow sand, no undulating sand dunes, and it is as boundless as the sea.

There are oases dotted with great rivers. This broadness is the gentleness and broadness of the combination of rivers and deserts, the upgraded color with green eyes and the oasis in the sand.

If you are in the south of the Yangtze River and don't go to the water town, but just want to find a desert, then the thick field desert is suitable.

In it, maybe you can find the shadow of San Mao here, or maybe you can say, "Every time I miss you, a grain of sand falls from the sky and forms the Sahara."
