Editor's note:

　　The topography of Gansu is like "Jade Ruyi", stretching more than 1,600 kilometers from east to west, with diverse landforms, colorful cultures, and diverse industries... What is Gansu like?

Ethnic minority youths unique to Gansu were invited to travel to various places and launched a series of reports on "Yugur Girls Take You to Gansu".

In the first issue, the special host Chang Hailing will show you Zhangye.

　　The Yugur girl's hometown is in Sunan Yugur Autonomous County, which belongs to Zhangye City, Gansu Province.

The landforms here are very rich, except for the sea, there are others, such as: snow-capped mountains, grasslands, rivers, lakes, forests, wetlands, deserts, and so on.

　　Speaking of Zhangye's mountains and rivers, there are two "trump cards": Qilian Mountain and Heihe.

"The bright moon comes out of the Tianshan Mountains, in the vast sea of ​​clouds. The long wind is tens of thousands of miles, blowing through the Yumen Pass." Qilian Mountain means "Tianshan Mountain", which is where the poet Li Bai's "Guan Shanyue" wrote.

This is the most delicate and delicate oasis of heaven in the embrace of the Gobi desert.

　　In the past, Qilian Mountain was the "origin of war", from the Han to the Tang Dynasty, wars continued.

When it came to the Republic of China, the poems about Qilian Mountain changed from sadness to joy, and even surprises: I didn't expect the snow on the top of Qilian Mountain, and mistakenly regarded Zhangye as Jiangnan.

　　After a period of extensive development, the surrounding environment of Qilian Mountain has changed from chaos to governance, and all 179 specific problems have been completed on-site rectification tasks.

　　Since then, with the implementation of ecological governance and restoration projects, the ecological environment of the Qilian Mountains has continued to improve, the ecological environment in the areas damaged by mine exploration and mining has been restored, and problems such as vegetation destruction and grassland degradation have been alleviated and eliminated.

　　Today, the Zhangye section of Qilian Mountains has returned to its former calm, with less human disturbance and more animal species. Some national first- and second-class wild animals that have been hard to find for many years have appeared from time to time. The ecological restoration and management area is lush and green, and the vegetation has been effectively protected and restored. , showing a good picture of recuperation.

　　The "Ruoshui" in "Three thousand weak waters, only take a scoop to drink" is the Heihe River flowing through Zhangye, originating from the Qilian Mountains, and it is the second largest inland river in my country.

Because of her, Zhangye has abundant water and grass; because of her, Zhangye combines agriculture and animal husbandry.

　　In autumn, walking in the Olympic Forest Park in Ganzhou District, Zhangye City, the brightly colored trails, the sparkling water system, the forest area with fragrant birds and flowers... I was attracted and shocked by the beautiful scenery in front of me.

The green everywhere completely subverted my perception of the appearance of the two sides of the Heihe River.

　　In the past, when we came to Zhangye from Sunan County, "Except for shopping, we just sleep. Because the two sides of the Heihe River are only stones except for sand and sand, so we just want to sleep. But now it's different. There are scenery on both sides of the road. There are beautiful lakes and grassy beaches. I feel very good.”

　　It is hard to imagine how much effort this deserted beach that was once rocky and wild has gone through to give off the vibrant greenery it is today.

What is even more gratifying is that ecological greens of various sizes like this can be found in all counties in Zhangye.
