Xinjiang's many places to sing "Song of the Sand" again: Sand and sand

From the “Dead Sea” to the world’s second largest desert, the Taklimakan Desert, the straight-line distance of 70 km in Xinjiang’s Korla City once again hit sandstorms at 18:00 on the 8th on the 8th.

The sky-shaking yellow sand shook the city in an instant. The local people, Mr. Nan, told reporters that the light in the office suddenly felt dark, and then he smelled the dusty smell of his nose and quickly closed the window.

On that day, the Bazhou Meteorological Observatory issued a warning signal for strong winds at 18:00 and then upgraded and issued a dust storm red warning signal. It is estimated that the next 6 hours, there will be strong dust storms in most of the plains in the state, with a minimum visibility of 50 meters.

Strong sandstorms have caused a lot of inconvenience to the local people's daily life. Many people walking on the street wear masks, or use sleeves to cover their noses and mouths to prevent dust from entering their mouths; due to reduced visibility, cars on the street also slow down. OK, even vehicles have turned on the headlights.

Sandstorms have also caused heavy air pollution in the city of Korla. According to data from the website of Xinjiang Environmental Protection Agency, the API (air pollution) index is as high as 319.

Lan Yueping, who was training at an open-air training yard, told reporters that there was not much vegetation in the training yard. The wind blew up the dust on the ground. The scraping was everywhere. The clothes were covered with soil for a while and the mouth felt sandy. Dust is particularly high.
