Jiuquan Mirage

Jiuquan's mirage is really by luck, not often can be seen, the mirage is formed by the natural phenomenon of light refraction and full reflection, it is formed by virtual images, but also very magical, to a certain geographical location, the physical conditions of the earth, time, A natural phenomenon that arises from many conditions such as climate. On a sunny and hot summer day in Jiuquan, there is a chance to see this mysterious mirage in Dunhuang's Gobi.

Surrounded by almost inch grassy Gobi, desert, but close to the grottoes on the narrow strip is covered with rows of tall, lush poplar or poplar trees. This is artificially planted to protect cultural relics, forming a small Gobi oasis, built into a natural screen to prevent dry grottoes from the erosion of sand. The autumn color of the trees is more moving, adding a touch of bright color to the desolate, dim, monotonous desert, and writing a song of life. Nearby river banks and hillsides are distributed several stone towers, stone chambers (with mud statues with missing arms and legs).

Nice hotel, unfortunately forgot to take pictures, the taste is very in line with my taste, so the recommendation index is 5🌟

From Dunhuang to Jiuquan and Jiuquan to Ejina, the mirage can be seen on the Gobi Beach at any time. The driver told me that as long as there is water, it is a scene of the mirage. Wonderful, all the way, all the way, all the way, sometimes there seems to be a vehicle speeding. I often can't tell the truth or the fake, see the chimney, the mountain bag also to ask: is it true? Interesting, but this road is very hard.

I was driving all the way, and I didn't pay much attention to the situation on both sides of the road. Basically, it is deserted and the scenery is quite single. The mirage should be available and unrequired, but it is quite interesting to see a small tornado 🌪️.
