Where is Xiangshawan Scenic Area?

Xiangshawan Scenic Area, covering an area of 24 square kilometers, is located in the center of the "Golden Triangle" development zones in Hohhot, Baotou and Ordos, and is known as the "golden button on the golden belt of the Yellow River". Xiangshawan is located in the Golden Triangle of Shaanxi, Shanxi and Inner Mongolia, at the easternmost tip of the famous Kubuqi Desert in China.

The sand height of Xiangshawan is 1 10 meter, and the slope is 45 degrees, forming a huge echo wall of Shashan in a crescent shape. Here, the dunes are towering, standing shoulder to shoulder, and the vast sea is endless. Based on the unique topography and geographical location, Xiangshawan has developed into a super-large comprehensive desert leisure resort integrating sightseeing and leisure vacation, including five regions: Liansha Holiday Island, Fusha Holiday Island, Yisha Holiday Island, Yuesha Holiday Island and Xiansha Holiday Island.

Mystery of singing sand

The sand height of Xiangshawan is 1 10 m, and the width is 400 m, with its back facing the mountains and rivers and its leeward facing the sunny slope. The terrain is crescent-shaped and the slope is inclined at a 45-degree angle, forming a huge echo wall of sand dunes. When the sand is dry, tourists climb ladders or take cable cars to the top of Yinken Dune and slide down. Dunes will rumble, from the croak of frogs to the roar of cars and planes, more like an impassioned symphony.

It is still a mystery that Xiangshawan sings the miracle of sand. For thousands of years, people can't explain the reason for the rustling of sand, but they have given it many beautiful legends. There are different opinions about the cause of the ringing sand. Scientists have done a lot of scientific investigations, including screening and cleaning theory, triboelectric theory, geographical environment theory, "bell box" theory and so on. The mystery of ringing sand is still being explored.
