Shapotou Tourist Zone

Shapotou is located on the southern edge of Tengger Desert, on the north bank of the Yellow River, 20 kilometers west of zhongwei. It was called Shatuo in ancient times and Shashan in Yuan Dynasty. During the Qianlong period, a large sand dike with a width of about 2000 meters and a height of about 100 meters was formed on the north bank of the Yellow River, so it was named Shatuotou, which was mistakenly called Shapotou. The height of sand slope is150m, and the slope is 60 degrees. Whenever the weather is fine and the temperature rises, people sit on the top of the sand and bend down, and there is a roar of "hum-hum-hum" in the sand slope, just like the bell in the golden bell jar, so there is a scene of "sand slope ringing the bell", which is one of the four big ringing sands in China. Standing at the foot of the sand slope, I looked up, but I saw a hundred-meter-long sand mountain hanging like a waterfall. People were riding the sand stream, such as falling from the sky, not worrying about dust, having the joy of ringing the bell, forgetting things and forgetting themselves, and having endless fun. Wang Weiqi's "100-meter sand slope is as sharp as a stone, and its legend is famous all over the world." Tourists play, dance and dance with each other. "It is the portrayal of this scene. The ancients classified Mingsha as auspicious. Today's scientific research shows that the sand slope is close to the Yellow River, and the water surface and sand surface absorb heat and dissipate heat differently. When the sun shines, two different air currents rise from two floors to form two air walls. The sound of quicksand moving rings in the air wall, forming "ringing sand" This statement needs further study and demonstration.

Shapotou integrates sand, mountains, rivers and gardens. The Yellow River culture and physical geography with a long history
