Today, it is a forest and grassland that local people are proud of. Every spring, there are many grass buds and pheasants singing in the mountains. The dense forest is a natural oxygen bar, which attracts tourists to feel different grassland customs.
In the crisp autumn, my company and I come here for leisure. At that time, I didn't know it used to be a barren sand lump. Let's take a closer look at the soil when the guide points to the pine forests on the rolling hills on both sides of the grassland road. At this time, we were surprised to find that the undulating mountains were wrapped in bare sand, and those big trees were firmly rooted in them, which also protected the growth of green plants.
This is Zhanggutai, the key place of sand control construction in China. Since the 1950s, groups of sand control people have come here, turning the desert into a beautiful oasis that everyone yearns for.
I came here once in high school. At that time, the sand control in Zhangwu had just achieved results, the grassland road had not been repaired, and a large area of yellow sand was clearly visible under the pine forest.
The first time we boarded the watchtower, the leaders of the Institute of Sand Control showed us such a large area of green and a little farther away from the desert edge. It is like a dividing line that separates the desert from the oasis.
In a blink of an eye, 30 years have passed, and the sand control people should be over 60 years old. I wonder what kind of sigh he will make when he walks on this once barren land!
