Is Shanshan County so close to the desert? Why have you never been attacked by a desert?

Desert is a headache for many countries. Where there is a desert, nothing grows and there is no rain. Especially when it is windy, dust will be blown everywhere, and it hurts when it is scraped on the face, as if it had been hit by something. Shaving on your head will leave countless dusts in your hair. After scraping on your body, your clothes will smell of dust. So people have been trying to find a good way to desert control, but they can't find a suitable countermeasure. Shanshan County, the last stop in Xinjiang, China, can be said to be a city adjacent to the desert. The desert seems to appreciate the company of this city and has never disturbed it. This desert is the Kumutage Desert.

It belongs to a part of Taklimakan Desert, close to Shanshan County. Kumutage Desert is very different from other deserts, unlike other deserts, which are made up of many sand dunes. The desert here is full of dunes. At the highest point of Shanshan county, you can see the desert as far as you can see. Many people will be surprised when they hear about this city adjacent to the desert. How can people live under such conditions? Or some people will think that the population of this city is definitely small, and it must be next to the desert. Once there is a big sandstorm, it will definitely engulf the people here.

But when you really came to Shanshan County, what you saw was not as bad as everyone thought. Apart from the large temperature difference between day and night, it is as calm as other cities and has not been invaded by the desert.

The Kumutag Desert is called by local residents? Devil's desert? The reason is that the temperature here is particularly high in summer. If you have to go to the desert at this time and don't go far, you will be unable to move because of lack of water, and you can't tell the direction how far you are, so few people set foot in the desert in this case.

Supposedly, almost all the places with deserts are uninhabited, but Shanshan County and Kumutage Desert have been together for thousands of years, and no one has violated anyone. This also made the Kumutage desert get it? The desert near that city in the world? This has also created convenient conditions for Uighurs to better develop tourism.

There will be strong winds in the desert from time to time all year round, but strangely, when the sand mountain running all the way comes to Shanshan County, it will stop immediately because it is located in the south of the county for some reasons.

It turns out that Uighurs have planted many tall trees in the desert after thousands of years of continuous efforts. It is because of this solid road? Protective wall? The sand is well separated from the wall. Even if the wind blows hard, people still live a happy life quietly in the ancient city where people come and go. They have lived with the desert for thousands of years and have never said that it is difficult to survive because of the blowing dust.

I have to say that this is really a miracle, but all this is due to the working people in Shanshan County, and these are the results of their efforts.
