The soft warm color in the oasis

Qiemo is located on the southeastern edge of the Tarim Basin, and the north is suspended above the Taklimakan Desert.

I entered and ended in the quietest autumn in the Taklimakan Desert to participate in the annual Red Date Harvest Festival

The clever Qiemo invented a variety of ways to eat red dates, such as steaming, boiling, frying, frying, and some people grilling them like mutton skewers.

Ruoqiang County and Qiemo County are the top two counties in China, both of which are located in the Bayingoleng Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region

This is a real "green revolution" in the history of agriculture

The scientific cultivation of organic red dates is very particular

Jujubes are produced in China.

Friends laughed

In fact, the reason why the gray jujube is called gray jujube is that it is gray before it matures, like the gray feathers of a little swan before it matures

Before going to the end, my mind repeatedly deduced the magnificent scene of the red earth after the ripening of hundreds of thousands of acres of red dates

The jujube farmers took the long wooden poles and tapped the branches lightly.

Drying dates and drying raisins are not the same thing at all

　　A special drying room is needed to dry raisins, but red dates are not needed.

　　With an area of ​​more than 140,000 square kilometers, nearly 60,000 square kilometers are deserts, accounting for nearly 40% of the total area.

　　Judging from the map, it looks like a stone axe.
