Desert Ecological Tourist Zone of Turpan

Die Wüste liegt 120 km von Turpan, nach Osten, direkt hinter den flammenden Bergen und dem Dorf Tuyulou. Es ist schön zu gehen, aber im Sommer ist super heiß.

Turpan Desert Botanical Garden belongs to Xinjiang Institute of Biological Soil Deserts, Chinese Academy of Sciences. One of the 12 botanical gardens directly under the Chinese Academy of Sciences is the only desert botanical garden in the arid desert area of Northwest China and the lowest botanical garden in the world. Located in the southeast of Turpan city about 10 kilometers, elevation - 95 - 76 meters. Located in the wind-eroded quicksand area of about 6,000 hectares between Chatcale, Aiding Lake and Yar Township in the hinterland of Turpan Basin, the garden has a large area of wind-eroded Yadan landform, flat mobile sand land and crescent dune landform types, ruins of the old city buried by quicksand and the well-known underground water conservancy project Kaner Well in the world-famous arid area. This is the world's second lowland, known as "wind reservoir", "Huozhou". The average number of gale days above grade 8 is 26.8 days per year. Up to 68 days, the maximum wind speed is more than 40 meters per second. The wind-blown sand flow rate is the highest in the country, and the annual accumulated temperature is 13.9 degrees. Extreme maximum temperature 47.62 degrees, extreme minimum temperature - 28 degrees, summer sand surface temperature over 80 degrees, annual average precipitation 16.4 mm, annual evaporation 2837.8 mm; annual average humidity 41%; annual sunshine hours 3049.5 hours, sunshine percentage 68%; annual total radiation 139.5 kcal/square centimeter.

It's not very far from Turpan Airport, far from the city and there's no transportation unless you drive by yourself. Turpan's wind is very peculiar, so the desert will be blown out of shape, and here is not a strictly desert, more of the Gobi, so the sand wind sculpture will be fixed for a long time, look very interesting, if you have a car.

Because of the hot and dry summer in Xinjiang, there are dense windows between the bricks on the walls of the drying room, which is not only conducive to ventilation and ventilation, but also avoids direct sunshine and wind and rain. After a period of time, natural drying raisins can be harvested without manual drying, which is environmentally friendly and energy-saving. A few kilometres away from the old city, I was exhausted. I was lucky to meet a big brother who drove by on a motorcycle and took me along the way. It was sunset and dusk outside the old city. I climbed the opposite hillside and looked at it (30 yuan did not enter). I couldn't see the situation inside at all, but regretted to return.

These mountains are really interesting. They really seem to have little fire.
