As soon as he got out of the car, Zhang Yang was greeted by the northwest wind of about level 4, and quickly zipped up the jacket on his body, and then turned around and told He Xiaoman and Ma Cuihua, who were only wearing long sleeves, to quickly take off the coats they had just put in the car and put them on.

Qiquan, Xiuhu, and the ancient temple are all in a basin surrounded by sand mountains, of course, this strange spring is certainly not this place, and there are also in other places, in fact, their current location is an oasis, and every sea is next to an oasis, maybe not as good as the scenery of inland cities, but in the desert here is already very beautiful, there is a different flavor.

After He Xiaoman and the two of them put on their coats and came down, Zhang Yang said hello, and the three little guys who ran to the lake in the distance walked towards a spring that was gushing not far away.

"The location where we are now is what I said before Xiuhu Temple Haizi, which is a salt water lake, and Miaohaizi Mongolian language means 'Su Min Jilin', in fact, it is 'Haizi with a temple', and the temple is the temple of Tibetan Buddhism not far away.

Speaking of Miaohaizi is also a magical lake, the lake is surrounded by sand mountains, and the annual precipitation here is only a few tens of millimeters, it can be said that the evaporation is much greater than the precipitation, and the salt content of the lake is extremely high, but it has never been exhausted, nor has it been buried by the wind and sand.

The main reason is that, according to the latest speculation, experts have deduced that there may be a network of rivers hidden under the desert, and the water source should come from the Qilian Mountains, 500 kilometers away, or the melting of ice and snow from the more distant Qinghai-Tibet Plateau seeps into the ground and flows into the dark river.

In the past, they lived by grazing herdsmen, and the brine worms in the lake were also one of the herders' sources of income, but in recent years, in order to protect the desert ecology, the local government has begun to restrict grazing, and most of the young people have gone outside to make a living.

Most of the people left here live in the elderly, but the good thing is that there are government subsidies to build houses, especially during the tourist season, which can receive tourists to earn some money from food and lodging, and this income is now the main source of income for the herders here. ”

The audience listened to the introduction with relish and watched the picture taken by the drone, and seemed to be intoxicated by it, although it is not as beautiful as when the weather is clear, after all, the salt water lake is more colorful when the sun shines, but the scenery is also good when it is cloudy.

The coverage of fans in Zhang Yang's live broadcast room is really from all walks of life, students, office workers, retirees, scholars, and even experts, etc., some people are constantly 'sleeping' the beautiful scenery here, so naturally there are also people who come with the attitude of learning and research, and of course, it is inevitable to discuss and learn with Zhang Yang.

"Brother Yang, I'm a primary school student, can you tell me about this brine worm, our biology teacher hasn't said it either!"

"It's not that your biology teacher didn't say it, it's that he's embarrassed to say it, it's a bug after all!

"Okay, okay, upstairs, shut up, don't teach bad children!"

"Anyway, they live in the desert, do they have camels in every house?"

"666 Those foreigners are so miserable, the account on Douyin was directly blocked, it seems that the place where they are foreign teachers is also going to fire them!"

"Haha, this is a lot of injustice will kill you, I watched that video, these people really deserve it!"

"emmmm, I came here through Douyin, let's say that the anchor is really good? I saw 19 in the video and kicked that tall foreigner over!"

"Haha, our Brother Yang is a man who hooks up with the Siberian Tiger!"

Miao Haizi's face is quite big, because there is one more Ma Cuihua, and Zhang Yang doesn't want to use a balance bike, so they just walked forward slowly and leisurely, and took advantage of this time Zhang Yang also answered the questions in the live broadcast room by the way, which can be regarded as giving you a background introduction when looking at the scenery.

"Okay, then I'll answer the question of our student friends first, you have seen a green lake, that is because there are aquatic plants underneath, and you have also seen a white lake, such as Chaka Salt Lake, but have you ever seen a pink lake?

That's right, you heard it right, it's the pink and tender, bubbling color of a girl's heart.

And the reason for the formation of this pink lake is because this is a salt water lake, there are salt worms in it, not far from the front, but Miaohaizi is relatively small here, if you are interested, you can go to Honghaizi to have a look, it is a pure pink lake.

Artemia is a kind of insect that lives in the saltwater water bodies such as salt pans and plateau areas in China, the color is similar to that of shrimp, and there have always been two theories about this pale pink lake, one is that this insect makes the lake surface this color, and there is a mineral of this color at the bottom of the lake.

However, brine worm is a good feed for aquaculture, and it is also the feed used by many ornamental fish for a long time, and it was once one of the sources of income for local herders, but it can also be seen now.

As for the camels, I have to say a few words about the new favorite mules of the desert that have recently appeared, yes, the offspring of what you think are horses and donkeys. ”

In fact, this kind of camel with mule to replace, especially in the short desert travel is more and more common, this is also the reason why the life of people in the desert is forced to cause, although I knew that this place is now many families are raising mules, but the existence of camels has always been considered irreplaceable.

Seeing that someone in the live broadcast room raised questions about this point, Zhang Yang casually explained

"In fact, this is also according to the living habits of the local people, according to the words of the locals: camels, no one wants to sell them, and it is not very useful for their own use, and the herders are becoming more and more reluctant to raise it.

As the 'ship of the desert', the camel should have been the captain of the desert transport brigade, a proper protagonist, but in the hinterland of the Badain Jaran Desert, the position of the camel as the captain of the transport brigade has gradually been replaced by mules.

The main reason for this is that with the improvement of living conditions, some homes have been equipped with vehicles, and if they want to transport heavy loads, they usually use vehicles.

Previously the camel was used mainly for long-distance travel or to transport goods, but with a car it became completely useless, and as a frequently used tool for short-distance travel, it was also eliminated because the mule ate less than it, had good foot strength and walked fast.

Although the mule is not as hungry and thirsty as the camel, it is no problem if it does not eat or drink for two days, and the herdsmen here generally walk for a day or two on the road, so it is most suitable to raise a mule to ride.

In fact, this also shows that the living conditions of people here are getting better and better, and camels are raised more for nearby tourism, and there are fewer and fewer people who use them as a means of transportation. ”
