Wasteland becomes an oasis, struggling to open up the road to prosperity
In summer, there are green grass on Helan Mountain and the sea of flowers churning under the mountain.
Who would have thought that this place used to be a deserted Gobi desert, a gravel waste pit?
The former mine has become an "oasis".
Helan Mountain is an important ecological security barrier in the northwest region, and is referred to as "Father Mountain" by the local people.
Due to the abundance of mineral resources, the large-scale disorderly mining since the 1950s has destroyed the ecosystem of Helan Mountain.
Since 2016, Yinchuan City has comprehensively carried out the renovation and restoration of the ecological environment of Helan Mountain, starting with the construction of a forest park, covering 4,000 mu, 10,000 mu, and 30,000 mu... The deserted Gobi at the foot of Helan Mountain has been built into an ecological park, a xerophyte garden, a tidal garden Lake Ecological Park and other green plant belts that stretch for dozens of miles.
Today, the coverage rate of the green space at the foot of Helan Mountain has reached 60%, gradually showing vitality.

Zhongwei in Ningxia has a temperate continental climate with high altitude, little precipitation and sufficient sunshine.
In recent years, Zhongwei City has been exploring the development of photovoltaic industry in desert areas, and has initially formed the upstream and downstream industries of "photovoltaic + manufacturing + sightseeing".
Entering the Zhongwei Desert Photovoltaic Industrial Park, thousands of blue photovoltaic panels are neatly arranged in the yellow sand, like a blue ocean covering the desert.
Windbreak and sand fixation experts explained to the interview group of "China has an appointment".
"Our photovoltaic manufacturing area covers an area of 65,000 mu, and has built a photovoltaic manufacturing industry with an annual output of 3.1GW of monocrystalline silicon and 7,200 tons of polycrystalline silicon, with an output value of 1.82 billion yuan; the tourist area is planned to cover an area of 2,000 mu, to realize new energy and tourism. The organic combination of industries has formed a relatively complete photovoltaic industry chain." Huang Zhanrong, a fourth-level researcher of the Zhongwei Development and Reform Commission, said.
"This looks too sci-fi! I want to move photovoltaic technology to Egypt and North Africa. This is the most suitable for our climate!" said Wang Mulin, an Egyptian journalist accompanying the press group. "It can not only produce Electricity can also be used to engage in the tourism industry, this model is very special.”
Today's "rising" photovoltaic panels can generate electricity, crops can be planted under the panels, and farming can be performed between the panels, and a piece of land can be used threefold.
The electricity generated by photovoltaics realizes the dual benefits of efficient utilization of solar energy resources in desert areas and deserts turning into oasis.

Yaomo Village, located at the foothills of Liupan Mountain, has a low temperature and low crop yields. 20 years ago, the villagers here had been lingering on the line of food and clothing.
In recent years, Yaomo Village has pressed the "fast forward button" for the high-quality development of the cold and cool vegetable industry, which has also made Ningxia's cold and cold vegetables famous.
The members of the interview group of "China has an appointment" interviewed at the Yaomo Modern Agriculture Demonstration Base.
Vegetables grown from Yaomo Village are crisp and tender in texture and have little fiber. High-quality vegetables such as peppers, celery, cabbage, broccoli, baby cabbage, garlic sprouts, onions, and carrots have been refined and sold to "Pearl River Delta", "Yangtze River Delta" and other national markets.
"The export rate of cold vegetables in Yaomo Village has reached 70% now," said Yao Xuan, Secretary of the Party Branch of Yaomo Village.
Now Yaomo Village is not only famous for its vegetables, but also for its beautiful pastoral scenery. In the past two years, Yaomo Village has been engaged in leisure and sightseeing agriculture. Every holiday, it attracts many surrounding tourists to visit and pick.
After visiting the planting base, Romeo said that growing cool vegetables helps the locals, not only giving them jobs and income, but also improving their happiness.
"Our people in big cities may not know this very well. How do they feel in the countryside? Let me tell you, they are much happier than us." Romeo sighed.
"Now the per capita vegetable industry income of farmers in our planting areas accounts for more than 70% of their disposable income, and the rural life is getting better day by day, people's income has increased, and the quality of life has also improved." Yao Xuan said.
The industry is high-quality and efficient, the countryside is livable and suitable for business, and the farmers are prosperous.
The cold and cool vegetable industry has truly become a "new engine" for farmers to increase their income and become rich.
