Set foot on the Silk Road (4) - we have encountered dust storms in the Gobi Desert
To leave the city of Osaka, our station wagon began to climb the Tianshan East now. Relatively flat road, bending low, road Liang Bang is full of a lifeless, barren gray black rocks.
Down the Tianshan Mountains, we have entered the Turpan Basin, here is the Gobi Desert, from dark gray stone and sand composition, an endless hope. Where dust storms occur every year from April to July is the peak, and today we are here for a taste of dust storms despotic power.
The Gobi Desert and the sky suddenly gloomy calm up blowing a gale, holds up the sky of dust, overcast one, wind blown sand was rolling forward, no wonder that Xinjiang's a strange "stones gain on cars faster. "That's a staggering amount of potential, such as dust storms, with hair-raising roar. We are in the car is clear that the body was shaking, it seems there is a powerful external force pushing the car forward from behind. Then car slowly stopped the car in front row played a long queue, perhaps accident occurred in front of you? We probe looked, we saw a few more in front of trucks loaded with goods, cross the road, passing vehicles can only come from slowly through the narrow street, these truck drivers are too domineering, and we should also rely on parking on the roadside bar! We are indignant. Later, we understand, and also understand the difficulties faced by truck drivers. Then we see a few more people wind truck was thrown to the wayside, a number of vehicles passing under the embankment to avoid strong winds, lay in the road is to avoid strong winds overturned trucks, had no alternative but the car cross the road to the rear of the vehicle toward the wind reduce resistance. Fortunately, our station wagon is the wind away, but also sat 20 people, have a certain weight, otherwise it would be tyranny or the crazy wind turned.
Within a short hair do the menace of dust storms have passed, the Gobi Desert resumed dead quiet.
