Introduction of scenic spots

Ejina poplar

Populus euphratica fossils were found in the middle of tertiary Paleocene strata in Kuqa Thousand Buddha Cave and Tiejianggou, Dunhuang, at least 65 million years ago. The History of the Later Han Dynasty, Biography of the Western Regions and Notes on Water Classics all record that there are hutongs in Tarim Basin, that is, Populus euphratica. Uighurs call Populus euphratica Tuo Clark, which means "the most beautiful tree".

Qinghai Lake

Qinghai Lake, also known as "Cuowumbu", which means "blue sea" in Tibetan, is located in the Qinghai Lake Basin in the northwest of Qinghai Province. It is not only the largest inland lake in China, but also the largest saltwater lake in China.

It is formed by the fault subsidence between Datong Mountain, Sun Moon Mountain and Nanshan Mountain in Qinghai. Qinghai Lake is located in the plateau, and the average daily temperature in July and August is only about 15 degrees. At this time, it is the most beautiful time in Qinghai Lake. Thousands of acres of rape flowers are competing to open, and golden yellow is scattered around the blue sky.

Wild flowers in alpine pastures are colorful, like silk, and countless cattle and sheep are plump and strong, dotted with them.

Kaka salt lake

Also known as Chaka or Dabsunnaoer, "Chaka" is Tibetan, meaning Yanchi, that is, Green Salt Sea; "Dabsunnaoer" is Mongolian, which also means salt lake. Chaka Salt Lake is located near Chaka Town, Wulan County, Haixi Mongolian and Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province. Chaka Salt Lake is a famous natural crystalline salt lake in Qaidam Basin.

Salt is large, pure and mellow, and it is an ideal edible salt. Because its salt crystals contain minerals, and the salt crystals are blue-black, it is called "green salt". The initial proven reserves exceed 440 million tons.

Mogao Grottoes

Dunhuang City, located at the western end of Hexi Corridor in Gansu Province, is commonly known as the Thousand Buddha Cave, and is regarded as the most valuable cultural discovery in the 20th century. Dunhuang, located at the western end of Hexi Corridor, is famous for its exquisite murals and statues.

It was founded in the Sixteen Kingdoms period before Qin Dynasty, and has formed a huge scale after the Sixteen Kingdoms, Northern Dynasties, Sui, Tang, Five Dynasties, Xixia and Yuan Dynasties. There are 735 caves, 45,000 square meters of murals and 24 15 clay sculptures. It is the largest and richest Buddhist art shrine in the world.

In modern times, more than 50,000 pieces of ancient cultural relics were found in the Tibetan Sutra Cave, which gave birth to the discipline of Dunhuang studies, which is called the four largest grottoes in China together with Longmen Grottoes, Yungang Grottoes and Maijishan Grottoes.

Yaquan scenic spot

Throughout the ages, it is famous for its wonderful landscape of "mountain springs and sand water" and is known as "one of the scenic spots beyond the Great Wall". 1994 was designated as a national key scenic spot.

The artistic landscapes of Mingsha Mountain, Crescent Moon Spring and Mogao Grottoes are integrated, which are the "two wonders" connecting the south of Dunhuang and become the tourist attractions that people in China and even the world yearn for. A clear spring bends, ripples linger, and it is as blue as jade.

Spring is in quicksand, the drought is not over, and the wind blows the sand, which is quite spectacular. Scholars of all ages have admired this unique mountain spring landform and desert wonders.

Zhangye Danxia

With sandstone landforms as the main body, it is the best-developed and largest geological and geomorphological relic of Geuterus in China, and it was rated as one of the "Seven Most Beautiful Danxia Landforms in China" by China Geography magazine and National Geographic magazine.

and

One of the "10 wonders of the world" is about the scenic spot: it is located in Kangle County, Sunan Yugur Autonomous County, Zhangye City.

Jiayuguan

Guancheng is the westernmost pass of the Great Wall in Wan Li in Ming Dynasty, and it has been the first pass in Hexi since ancient times. Guancheng was built in the Ming Dynasty because of its dangerous terrain. It is one of the most well-preserved customs in the Great Wall.

Jiayuguan, also known as "the first Xiongguan in the world" and "Lock and Key Pass", is located at the western end of Hexi Corridor in Gansu Province. It is the first pass at the western end of the Great Wall in the Ming Dynasty and the transportation hub of the ancient Silk Road. Jiayuguan is the starting point of the western end of the Great Wall in Wan Li in Ming Dynasty. Built in the fifth year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty, it has become the most spectacular Guancheng along the Great Wall of Wan Li.

Strange forest

I saw dead Populus euphratica "bodies" everywhere. Somehow, it was filled with a ferocious and horrible smell, which was horrible and desolate. It is said that this is the immortal soul of General Black and all the soldiers.

When the Black City was committed, the garrison commander Hara Bater (Black General) led his troops to break through. Before the battle, he put more than 70 carts of gold and silver treasures, Xixia Crown and his own children into dry wells, sealed the soil and buried them, led his soldiers to fight all the way, and finally died here. In fact, the strange forest is Hu Yangshu, where a large area of people died.

"Born without death for 3,000 years, dead without falling for 3,000 years, immortal for 3,000 years". When the sun goes down, we beat wildly on the beach until there is no light, and then we gather on the path outside Heimen.

Heicheng

Founded in the Xixia period in the ninth century, it is located in Juyan area. Therefore, Black City belongs to a part of Juyan civilization. The word "Juyan" is Hun language, which means "Tian". /kloc-After General Huo Qubing, 0/9 years old, defeated the Xiongnu, the Han Dynasty stationed troops in Juyan and created a splendid Han civilization in Juyan.
