To live down immediately after the bridge went erdaoqiao and eight to enjoy the golden sunset. Here Hu Yang basically yellow, transparent yellow leaves set off with a Bi outer space, such as washing fresh eye-catching blue sky, in the sun
Irradiation and butter, the same transparent wax. Although other places have yellow leaves, but the Wei-Populus euphratica, Populus euphratica with long yellow sand by the vicissitudes of life bring out the kind of bleak warm is not to be found elsewhere. Populus euphratica leaves wither due to lack of water in the absence inside before the wind down down, broken foot broken down some of the sad. Even more surprising is that as much as three different tree Populus euphratica tree leaves, there are thin, such as willow, there is a triangle, such as Yang Ye, there is a circular, such as elm leaf Sui.
Until 7:00 the sun sets before I return to town to eat. Back to the hotel met, including a big help in Guangdong Photographic Society of Friends of color.

5:30 am wake up, because last night without an appointment, 6:30 to find the driver out of the bus, when almost all the hotel guest had sneaked away, and hurried to catch the strange woods, drivers still do not know the road, almost anxious sweat come. Finally to a strange forest, the sun has not come out and see a bunch of TV people have been waiting a long time for.
The east are increasingly red, and finally come out of the sun from the horizon, we see a perfect sunrise, as others have said: gang Cantonese did not in vain.
This piece of strange trees are all but dead due to lack of water, but the death of the millennium does not fall, down the Millennium immortal euphratica. They stood strong, keep looking, as if to pray, as is the wail ......
The ground, filled with their broken limbs, as if going through a bitter battle, twisted branches, humble tree holes in the
To tell of their endless pain ... ...
The edge of the woods have been piled high sand hills, nature has been a challenge to humanity issued a strong warning ... ...
However, in this world of death still jumping out of life, hope, sand dunes while there are two Populus euphratica, leaf Huang redness, just two camels, and eating leaves under a tree, the murder of many of our film. Said, the state has approved a water diversion project to save this one euphratica.
At noon, the five individuals to eat 6 pounds lamb, sheep or even a local open-boiled will not be any good at taste, more delicious lamb chops, and results in the amount of flags on almost every meal is grilled.
Slept a good feel, be filed by 3:00 the city plans to look at the black sun. The car a town, it was found in front of a dark gray sky, the ground seems to be flowing veil, and soon we will confirm that this is a little sand. Yellow sand wind flutter and hit par windows popping sounds came to the Black City, greater wind, sand, like flying like a fog, the sun simply hiding. The remaining one iron-gray shadow.
Sand in the black city with a more desolate, sand dunes have climbed the walls, sand fog spray in the wind like a Kiun general. Ouyang master in the city first published a magnificent and filled with painful recollections of the lectures.
Kazamaki yellow sand, we have braved the danger of scrapping the camera took a few casual, and the remaining is the frustration of waiting. Since then the weather getting worse and worse, had to close teams. Fortunately, yesterday fought a perfect evening, or else the trip will be greatly thrust.

Can not see the morning star, a feeling the weather looks bad, but still in time for sunrise and prior to 23 km away from the town to see the desert outside the eight bridge. East of the cloud is too thick, over a very long time before the sun goes from the high crevices exposed, there is Caixia, but not the United States. The day when the sun is hidden, at times, gray image of Guangzhou. Transit in the desert more than two hours, due to lack of light did not catch what it feels like.
The vicinity of a bridge at noon seven yurts of herdsmen, eat, this family raised nearly a hundred sheep herders, possession of a large Populus euphratica, we found that the sheep here have been "evolved" into a living to eat leaves. 2:00 Back to the four multi-bridge camera, the driver to repair, 5 o'clock walked 28 kilometers to see "God Tree."
God leaves of the tree is still dazzling, in addition to large trees is not much point in particular, so-called legends are not known, because the tree is in a courtyard inside the herdsmen, but also each 10 yuan tickets, worth.
Evening heard erdaoqiao 10 km north of Populus euphratica has a very dense; in the woods on the other side there is a strange no fees Xiaoguai woods. We plan a good day tomorrow, where to go if the weather is bad then back to Yinchuan.

Along the way the battery is often unable to charge, and have a toll station Zuoqi acquired Qi has been dark, automobile generators can not work days also started to rain, watching the lights more and more dark, and my heart more and more scared. Finally, consumption of the battery is about to end, he returned to the Zuoqi, this Driving Status surely can not continue to arrive in Yinchuan, and we rented a bus stop 100 yuan taxi, more than 10 points back in Yinchuan, or living in the civil aviation hotel.
