Mu Us Desert [Yulin]

Maowusu desert in Yulin City of Shaanxi Province and Inner Mongolia Erdos (Yikezhaomeng), with an area of 42,200 square kilometers, the Great Wall from east to west across the desert southern edge. According to research, in ancient times this region Feimei water plants, the scenery pleasant, is a good ranch. Later, due to climate change and war, lost ground vegetation, sand from the spot, and the subsequent formation of the desert (Saudi). Here has spread, "Yulin three transfer" of the story.今非昔比, Yulin is now the "Frontier City."

One of China's largest sandy area. At latitude 37 ° 27.5 '~ 39 ° 22.5', longitude 107 ° 20 '~ 111 ° 30'. Including the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, the Ordos south, Yulin City of Shaanxi Province in the northern district sandstorms and Yanchi Prefecture in northern Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, a total area of 39,800 square kilometers. Names originated in Jingbian County in northern Shaanxi is the Tanxiang Maowusu village. Since the Bangladesh side to Jingbian GAO Jia Gou Xiang Shawo the sand with a row of sand that Xiaomao with Ukraine, is the first to understand the scope of the Maowusu. As the wind along the Great Wall in northern Shaanxi and Inner Mongolia Erdos zone (Yikezhaomeng) south of the sand in a row with the distribution, which will be the Ordos plateau south-east and along the Great Wall in northern Shaanxi Saudi collectively referred to as "Mu Us Sandy Land."

Mu Us Sandy Land elevation more than 1,100 to 1,300 m, slightly larger than the northwest, to 1,400 to 1,500 meters, 1,600 meters up to individual districts around. Southeast Valley as low as 950 meters. Mu Us Desert Area are mainly located in the Ordos Plateau and the Loess Plateau plot between the lake on the alluvial plain Au. Sand exposed to external and Shenru Sand in the main beam in the Cretaceous period is red and grey sandstone, the rock basic level, the beam to the top of most flat. Quaternary sediments are all a clear sand, loose sand removal by the wind, easy to move a quicksand. Plain high beach (including plain water separation and high-beam next to the Beaches) are mainly distributed on the new unified Pleistocene alluvial lake plot.

Sand the annual average temperature 6.0 ~ 8.5 ℃, 1月temperature -9.5 ~ 12 ℃, 7月temperature 22 ~ 24 ℃, the annual precipitation 250 to 440 mm, concentrated in the July to September, accounting for 60-year precipitation 75 percent, especially in August for more. Variability in precipitation, wetter, drier than usual in two to four times the regular occurrence of drought and floods and droughts than floods. Summer often drop heavy rain, another Baozai, the largest daily precipitation of 100 to 200 mm. Saudi precipitation in the eastern part of 400 to 440 mm, a light chestnut soil dry grassland areas, quicksand and Palawan (semi-fixed and fixed sand dunes) wide distribution, northwest of precipitation is 250 to 300 mm, is a semi-brown soil Desert.

Mu Us Desert Area in a few areas of natural transfer of lots, vegetation and soil reflect the characteristics of the transition. In addition to the northwest transition to a brown soil semi-desert, along the southwest to Yanchi transition to a grey soil semi-desert, the Loess Plateau to the southeast of the transition to temperate forest soil Huihe grassland areas.

Sand more complicated land-use types, different ways of distribution with the often staggering. Agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry staggered distribution of land from southeast to northwest was obvious geographical differences, south-east more advantageous natural conditions, the destruction of serious and significant than the quicksand; Apart from the northwest quicksand distribution, there is also a film of semi-fixed, fixed-Saudi Distribution. Eastern and southern areas of high concentration of farmland in the valley terraces and beaches, agricultural land to the northwest is reduced, increased distribution of grassland. Existing agricultural, animal husbandry, forestry land use is not full, extensive operation.

The region quicksand area of 13,800 square kilometers, after the People's Republic of China, in northern Shaanxi to sand, water diversion Lassa, the development of irrigation, afforestation, soil improvement and transformation of the desert, with remarkable results. Through various reform measures, Mu Us Desert Area southeast outlook has changed.

No direct access to scenic areas of the city bus, taxi or by local charter to the area.
