Jiangnan desert

Jiangnan desert

Many people must wonder why there is such a spectacular desert in Jiangnan? In fact, Jiangnan desert is not a natural product, but a brand of modern Chinese construction history. In 1958, more than 4000 workers from Taolin lead zinc mine, the largest state-owned mining enterprise in Asia under the direct control of the Ministry of metallurgy, set up camp in Zhongfang Town, Linxiang, and worked hard to mine the lead zinc ore. nearly 100 tons of pollution-free tailings were transported to the hills by pipelines every day. In the past 50 years, the tailings deposited and accumulated into the sea. Therefore, it can be said that Jiangnan desert is the brand of modern Chinese construction history, so there is another name of Jiangnan desert called "tailing dam". Tailing is still a very valuable resource. Japan once proposed to the Chinese government to exchange a jin of rice for a jin of sand, which was rejected by Premier Zhou Enlai: "now our science and technology are still very backward, and in the future, we can refine it again."

Silver beach in Jiangnan desert is located in Linxiang city of Hunan Province in the middle of China. With an area of more than 3000 mu, a depth of more than 50 meters and a sand storage capacity of nearly 100 million cubic meters, it is the only desert landscape in Central China. Every morning and evening, the beach is shining in the sun, so it is called "Silver Beach".

Cause of formation

Taolin lead zinc mine is a project developed by the national "Five Year Plan" project. In the 1990s, due to excessive mining, it once stopped mineral processing, but now it has restarted mineral processing.

Silver beach is a basin shape, showing the vast potential of sand sea. Although it is not a hope, but there is also an attempt to cross the pride burst out. In a word, silver beach is a rare engineering relic landscape, with mountains, water and sand beaches, which is unique in the mainland and needs to be developed.
