 The
Resonant Sand Gorge
The Kubuqi Dessert means bowstring in Mongolian. The Kubuqi Desert
lies to the south of the Huanghe River in the Ih Ju League like a
long band extending about 400 kilometers from east to west. The desert
is 50 kilometers wide in the west, 15-20 kilometers wide in the east
and covers an area of 16756 sq. kilometers. Generally, the sand dunes
are 10-15 meters high and the moving dunes make up 80% of the total
area of the Kubuqi Desert. Some of the sand dunes on the edge of the
desert move so fast that they meet Maowusu sand land in the west.
This forms a natural phenomenon just as if people were shaking hands.
The Resonant Sand Gorge and Engbei Sand Tourist Spot which lie in
the middle part of the Kubuqi Desert are both the ideal places where
the tourists can go sight-seeing, spend holidays, make investigations,
adventure, and learn about the local customs and manners.
The Resonant Sand Gorge
It is situated at the north-edge of the Kubuqi Desert. The Resonant
Sand Gorge is 90 meters high and 45¡ã sloping. When people
climb up to the top of the sand dune and then move down the dune,
they are able to hear the sounds which are similar to the noise made
by cars or planes.
Resonant sand is still a mysterious phenomenon beyond people's explanation.
