| Shapotou is famous all over the world not lnly for
its great success in reclaming of the shafting sand but also for its
unique natural landscapes.To the south, the rolling Yellow River gallops
forward with great momentum while the ruins of the Great Wall lies
dimly visible.Tothe north, a stretch of the Baotou-Lanzhou railway
winds through the green land won from the desert.What wins even greater
admiration from the world is the wonder of the desert--the Shaop Mingzhong,
a curious sound caused by the shifting sands.Below the sand hills,
gardens and orchards drip green while the scientific research fields
bloom with all sorts of flowers and plants in a riot colour. Since
the sand dunes and the Yellow River are running hand in hand great
achievements in desert reclamation they could, to their heart's content,
ride camels in the desert and go leather rafting along the Yellow
River. |
