In Dunhuang, plans have more than one day, as the rest. "Why blame Qiangdi willow, spring is not crossing yumenguan" "Jun also try to persuade a glass of wine, and west, Yang Guan without cause," and away from the situation Biexu, sentimental tear. I would like to look for when a child in order to build off the minds of the city.
On the eve of departure to the hotel where he was staying service he gave: the road is far and the way is a desolate desert, better to say that only one went to the mound, there is no other to read. I washed it to be, and have sufficient leg muscles. Yang Guan poetry was too sad, so chose yumenguan.
A departure city is left to the Gobi sand Shanyou; body near where the small green street occasionally Jizhi surprised me. Car Guaixiang yumenguan direction, away from the sand mountain, only the boundless desolate Gobi Desert, the vast may make you suffocate.
Deserted to go to see an oasis in the distance a lake, screaming after the realized that the front is a mirage, they were boring Gobi numb nerves active. The emergence of a beautiful dream, eyes fixed on the front. Fortunately, very, all the way lakes and continuously, as well as inverted tree house, a swinging tree branches and confuse my eyes, how not Penglai fairyland like it? Is cunning nature to know in the Gobi desert to create "lakes" of the false impression that the most vulnerable people the temptation to extreme thirst. She also Zaochu anything, let me explore what happens?
In the distance a solitary smoke rising, will they have from the reality, wonder that. Does not understand, the fleet has come to its rapid chase to me. Ah, swirl, no, of childhood tornado, do not hurry to escape. Those who are laughing, but also eye-catching of. The original is a strange desert natural scenery - a dust tornado wind; Be not afraid, it is only "solo", anxious, however, most also suddenly disappeared, not high time is not long, the maximum number of 10 meters, the longest extended 10 minutes .
Truck driver this time around to see me eye-catching too much, and some can not bear to start before I spoke. Today, it is luck, is a non-wind environment, able to see the mirage and the Cyclone. "Smoke in the desert straight down the long river of the yen," Wang Wei's poetry, painting, I accidentally look at all of the. Sunset in the Mingsha see: the setting sun, in the desert at the end, huge, round Sihuo ball, not a hot day, only the soft glow bright red but were reluctant to be separated.
There Jinkou opened the way all the content. Only the first disappointment do not see here is fleeting illusion, Huang Ru wonderland mirage, because this is the Gobi desert, not the ocean.
Miscellaneous Health and shrubs along the way occasionally, but not pay attention to the increasingly jumped into your eyes, with a trace of the spring to overflowing. Could that be a Desert King "Tamarix", there's no trace of red ah. Inertial thinking again conspicuous by. But back Fortunately, there is ancient precedent, did not move laughter. The words of the Qing Dynasty scholar Ji Yun Ji Xiaolan Hongliu written poetry, to read vivid: "Yiyi Hongliu full beach sand, colors, like purple-Ha ever. If it is Luk Lau as a partner, Lamei pass spectrum to the Plum Blossom." Original Hongliu Shenghua season, garden trees Manzhi red inflorescence, unfortunately, not be able to see. Each fleet has more than one branch Hongliu sandbags at the foot of the original annual leaves, the annual follow-up of sand, so that gradually increased Hongliu at the foot of sandbags, sandbags structured enough to be used to determine the survival time was based on Tamarix, that Tamarix can be how old do? Look at her weak branches, but with great strength of character resistant to or tolerant of drought, and quicksand tenacious struggle, to stop the fixed desert. Terrible, terrible. Desert life is longer than the Hongliu Populus euphratica, eyes showing a Xinxin on the capacity of Populus euphratica to the three millennium to reflect its long service life, easy to topple, and resistance to Zaoxiu fact, embraced the desert to get off to a photo heroes , but realized that would inadvertently destroy the environment here. Relinquish relinquish, only to raise questions bombarding drivers: the Millennium Populus euphratica is a witness in history, it has the prosperity of the desert changes toward death is the result of human activity. It is the same as with the pagoda temple houses for the conservation targets and can not touch the. Populus euphratica on the ground are dead, do not burn as Bupleurum, years of history, you know its scientific value.
Emotion, a true oasis they met could not believe: That was two Tun, a grape base, not second to Turpan grapes. Unfortunately, not a harvest season, while I daydream in the village to live.
Mound in the group, there is no camel group accompanied by Tuoling Sheng, have gone to the Jade Gate. Existing off site is only one standing on the dry side of the river, the redoubt on the Tucheng and square and the walls are all yellow plastic rammed version built. Along the foot of the wall ring, and I look forward to have vanished civilization.
Jiayuguan is the western end of the end of the Great Wall, but this time my side of the yumenguan when placed where? So far there are Han Guan Great Wall outside the site of the ancient Great Wall, which is evidence of a more westward extension. Jiayuguan is the western end of the Ming Dynasty Great Wall in the first off the city.
Jade Gate is the ancient Silk Road and west into the Western Region, North Road and Dunhuang, an essential middle barrier, since ancient times, a gateway for the Central Plains into the western regions. Yumenguan known by the ancient Silk Road, why is the "Jade" instead of "silk," the name appears in the eyes of the Chinese, jade is far higher than many of the status of silk. Perhaps the Silk Road, before the Western Regions, and Hetian in the history of transportation has long been the formation of the Central Plains Moreover, the "Silk Road" to visit China raised the question of the right to belong to the European gold seekers. The ancient Greeks even called China a "silk"; visible silk in time to have, and honorable position.
Yang Guan and yumenguan North-South confrontation, about 60 km apart, with the ancient Silk Road city. Reputation than Yumenguan, but also "you go to your Yangguan Dao, my way or the highway." Yang Guan Soon Avenue, already is now that of the word.
Curious, so I hunt, so look for humble pick. Looking forward to facing a coins, arrowheads, pottery, etc., I was able to find a vanished civilization, residual artifacts do? Can, as long as the trail west to explore deeper into the Western Regions of the 3 Road. . . . . .
Famous Jade Gate, along with the rise and fall along the Silk Road, is subject to social and political instability, environmental degradation or the navigation path of progress; looking at the dying defeat, yellow sand full of rocks of the Jade Gate, its decline, and decline have had almost disappeared. Can it still stands, waiting for you to look forward to have vanished civilization.
