Jiuquan, rolling mountains, vast Gobi and adjacent basins constitute a magnificent and unique northwest scenery. There are glacier snow scenes wrapped in silver makeup, plain oases with blue streams, and mirage in the desert Gobi. This unique scenery is not only a desirable sightseeing paradise, but also shows the personality characteristics and physical and geographical characteristics of Jiuquan's ecological environment, and becomes a classroom to understand Jiuquan's mountains and rivers and learn the changing laws of the ecological environment. People who don't know much about Jiuquan Oasis, the pearl of Gobi, will get spiritual satisfaction here and enjoy the joy of acquiring new knowledge.

One of the most important new knowledge we enjoy here is that in this hot land of Jiuquan, due to the movement of nature and human activities, strange and magnificent natural beauty and magnificent architectural engineering (human landscape) have been created. These cultural and natural heritages were produced in a certain historical period and under historical conditions and are non-renewable. Therefore, protecting cultural and natural heritage has become the common responsibility of mankind. This reminds us of the 17 session of the UNESCO General Conference held in Paris in 1972, which adopted the Convention for the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage. Since 1986, with the efforts of the relevant departments of our government, the World Heritage Committee has successively listed China on the Heritage List, which has greatly improved the popularity of Jiuquan, one of the heritage sites. Fortunately, Jiuquan people have always combined the essence of cultural heritage and natural heritage, breaking the long-standing opposing concept.

The natural environment of Jiuquan cannot determine the historical destiny of this land, but it has a great influence on the historical destiny itself.

The people of Jiuquan have created splendid history and culture, made special contributions and made various sacrifices for the exchanges and exchanges between the ancient Asian and European people and for the existence, development, prosperity and prosperity of the Silk Road. In this land, there have been thrilling and thrilling historical dramas. So, what is all this, and what is the historical stage they once showed? What are its characteristics? Please look at the following statement.

Jiuquan's magnificent natural landscape not only makes its mountains and rivers magnificent, its territory vast and its natural resources rich, but also leaves a rich accumulation because of its special geographical location and glorious history.

Jiuquan people have created a magnificent picture of the new era in the vast mountains: Jiuquan has 6,543,800 hectares of cultivated land and 4,663,000 hectares of grassland. Among 572 deposits of 48 minerals, unparalleled minerals are breathtaking and enviable, among which Targou tungsten mine is the largest tungsten mine in Asia and laojunmiao is the earliest natural oil base in China. Heigou Iron Mine was unveiled by Jiuquan Tieshan Spirit and written in the industrial history of China together with the soul of Jiugang.

Jiuquan's natural scenery is full of charm. Every stone on the vast black Gobi Desert can tell a story. The endless black gravel, scorched by the scorching sun or the bonfire in the ancient battlefield, exudes an ancient and charming light. There are no birds in the sky and no vegetation on the ground. Soft and smooth lines, such as solidified mud waves, flow to the sky. Not to mention the wonder and beauty of Sanwei Mountain, Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Spring, the modern glacier at the top of my heart is enough to make people linger. The crystal-like world here, the love oasis connected by the ancient Silk Road, hangs like a string of emeralds on the magnanimous chest of the Great Gobi.

Jiuquan region is located at the western end of Hexi Corridor in Gansu Province, bordering Zhangye in the east, Xinjiang in the west, Qinghai in the south and Inner Mongolia and Mongolia in the north.

There are 24 ethnic groups in the whole region, including Han, Mongolian, Kazak and Hui, with a total population of 1 10,000. Here is a bright pearl in the golden section of the ancient Silk Road, and it is a hot land full of magical charm and infinite vitality.

From Xia, Shang, Zhou, Spring and Autumn and Warring States to Qin, ancient nomadic peoples such as Di, Yue, Wusun and Xiongnu hunted here one after another, competing for beauty. In the second year of Yuanshou in the Western Han Dynasty (BC 12 1), Huo Qubing, a brilliant general sent by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, attacked Hexi twice. After defeating the Xiongnu, the Great Wall was built in Hexi Corridor (Jiuquan, Wuwei, Zhangye, Dunhuang, Yangguan and Yumenguan), and pavilions were set up to open up wasteland. Since then, in this magical oasis, splendid culture, art, pass fortress, beacon tower of the Great Wall, camel bell in the desert, painter's lantern, grotto Buddha statue, bitter fighting, pioneering hardships, legendary stories and heroic poems have been bred and developed, forming a colorful historical picture scroll with rich cultural connotations. After Zhang Qian "hollowed out the Western Regions", it became an important base and strategic outpost for administering Hexi and developing the Western Regions in the Han Dynasty. The rolling Han Ming Great Wall, the Millennium Yangguan, Yumenguan and Shoushui Jinguan have added a lot to the majestic Great Wall culture. During the Han, Wei, Jin, Sui and Tang Dynasties, with the extension, expansion and prosperity of the Silk Road, as the intersection of China, it became the only channel and important transit point for economic, cultural and artistic exchanges between the East and the West, and played an important role in promoting the extensive exchanges and mutual absorption between the two civilizations.
