travel starts with photography

Chapter 326 Desert Culture
Chen Xing is also going back to rest. Living in a tent in the desert sounds very interesting, but as long as you get into the tent, it feels similar to living in a tent in any park in the country. After all, the sand in the desert does not Buried you overnight.

On the contrary, why is the Dunhuang Crescent Lake so small, but it can keep it like this for countless years in the desert?
It is precisely because of the environment of Mingsha Mountain that the wind keeps blowing from low to high. Even if so many tourists come every day in modern times, the sand in the dunes is trampled down, but it only takes one night. The sand can be blown back into place.

This kind of scenery is a spectacle no matter what era it is.

Therefore, living in the desert plain near Mingsha Mountain is very safe, and there is no need to worry about whether there will be a sandstorm at night.That's why the desert camps here are running so smoothly, and there are so many businesses and independent tourists staying here.

But before he got to the tent, he heard someone say, "Huh? Why isn't Fan Cun here?"

"Did you go back early?"

"Is there no one in the tent? His phone is still charging inside."

Fan Cun?

When Chen Xing heard the name, he turned around to confirm, but he was indeed not seen.

Fan Cun was that Uncle Nikon, who had traveled with him in the Crescent Lake scenic area before, but after getting to know him again here, Chen Xing found that this person was more talkative only when there were few people around.As soon as there were more people, he ate the peanuts they brought and drank by himself.

"The toilet isn't there either. Where did he go?"

This flat land is only so big, and the night in the desert is much brighter than in the city. Not to mention there are lights here, normal people can see farther places here even without lights.

Their camp mainly relies on the surroundings of the two caravans where Chen Xing and the others ordered meals. The other camp is at least a hundred meters away. The people there are also very lively, and they also lighted a bonfire and danced and sang together, but Fan Cun was obviously not. People who like to join in the fun.

Someone even went over there to have a look, and came back and said, "No."

The man scratched his hair anxiously and said, "Nothing will happen, right?"

Chen Xing suddenly pointed to the sand dunes in the distance and said, "Is that him?"

"Who? Where?"

"Can't you see it?"

Because of Fan Cun's episode, the group of people they were chatting with did not leave. They ran to Chen Xing and followed the direction of his finger to look over. They only saw darkness.

The darkness here is bright, but it is night after all.

People's eyes can only see the surrounding area here, and the distance is black for them, just like the fog of war in League of Legends.However, Chen Xing's eyesight is very good, very good, and he can still see clearly.There is a person sitting on the sand dune over there.

Judging from his figure, it should be him.

Chen Xing said: "Looking at his appearance, he should be fine. I'll go and have a look. You wait for my news."

As long as you see people, you’re fine, and I haven’t heard of any dangerous wild animals here. At most, mosquitoes are more dangerous... Chen Xing really saw the words in the desert just now. Foot mosquitoes are about the same size and suck blood.

Although they couldn't see it, they felt relieved when they heard what Chen Xing said, and said, "Call us later."

"OK OK."

Chen Xing walks the fastest and climbs the mountain fast. The sand dune is 30 meters high, but it didn't take long for Chen Xing to climb it. This is still not the case where the soft ladder is not easy to fix, otherwise Chen Xing would walk here It's about the same speed as ordinary stairs.

When he got closer, he saw that it was indeed Fan Cun.

"Brother Fan." Chen Xing shouted.

Fan Cun looked at the sky, turned his head when he heard the shout, and said with a smile, "Are you also looking at the stars?"

"I came to see you."

"?"

Fan Cun was a little confused.

"You came out alone and didn't leave a message or anything. Everyone was worried about you when they found out that you were gone...Fortunately, I can see that you are here."

Fan Cun finally came to his senses and said, "I'm sorry, I thought you might have to talk for a long time, so I wanted to come out and take a picture of the starry sky. It was a little bright over the camp, so I came here to find a place. Here you go." Are you in trouble?"

"No, it's not too much trouble."

Chen Xing continued to step on the sand and sent a message to the people waiting in the camp.

Walking to Fan Cun, Chen Xing said, "The desert is really cold at night."

"Well, the sand in the desert will dissipate heat quickly after dark, and when the sun's heat completely disappears, it will start to absorb the surrounding waste heat."

Chen Xing laughed, and said, "I didn't think so much."

He also sits down here.

Needless to say, the current desert atmosphere seems to be more sensational than before.

There was a small wind blowing, and there was a rustling sound on the ground.

This kind of wind sound is unique, reminding Chen Xing of some unique instruments in Egyptian music, and the Egyptian music he had heard before automatically appeared in his mind, matching the desert in front of him, a camp with lights under the dunes, and the desert Beautiful stars in the sky.

"It's so beautiful here."

Chen Xing supported it with his hands, looked back at the sky, and said from the bottom of his heart.

Fan Cun nodded and said:
"Actually, this is not the first time I have come to Dunhuang. The last time I came, I was very young. It was only in 1998. There was no such camp here, and the Crescent Lake did not have the light bars we see now, and there is no park next to it. , very simple and beautiful.”

"...I'm not born yet." Chen Xing said.

He is a latecomer.

Fan Cun smiled and said, "I came to see it with my girlfriend. Later we got married. My youngest son is probably about the same age as you. How old are you?"

"02."

"That's about the same. He's 17."

When Fan Cun was alone with other people, he talked a lot. He pointed to a sand dune next to him and said, "You may not know that the sand dune over there is actually the Mingsha Mountain that many people climb in Crescent Spring. You can see the Crescent Lake, and those who are powerful can almost walk there without paying for the entrance fee."

so far...

In modern times, it is estimated that no one will choose to go to the Crescent Lake in the desert in order to save tens of dollars in admission fees.

With so many attractions in Dunhuang, Crescent Lake is really cheap.

"Crescent Lake witnessed the best period of my wife and I. Over the next ten years or so, I sometimes dream of the time when she and I expressed our feelings to each other on Mingsha Mountain. This time I came here , I also thought of coming to Crescent Lake for the first time, but things are different.”

"It has been more than 20 years, and there must be changes. How fast our country is developing now." Chen Xing said.

"Yeah, everything is changing now, and of course it's not the same here."

"Tsk, what Brother Fan said is level."

No wonder he is a professional writer, speaking is art.

Chen Xing's literature and art are only in words, and in daily life he is a very ordinary young man.

He didn't wear much clothes, and now he felt a little cold, so he got up and patted his buttocks, and said, "Then you can take pictures of the starry sky, I'm going back."

From eating just now to now, he has left the two girls behind for a long time.

This is not good.

Go back and have a look at the situation.

The tents they slept in were fixed here by the merchants here, and all the things inside were of a high standard. Although the beds were not high, they also felt like tatami mats in an island country. No one loved them once they were covered with quilts.No matter how cold it is outside, it is still warm under the quilt.

Chen Xing stayed in his small tent for a while, and then sneaked into a big tent after receiving the news.

It is estimated that the price of this kind of big tent for one night is much higher than that of a small tent.

The inside is completely like a temporary camp for nomads. The bed inside is a kind of wooden assembled bed on a thick cushion. It shakes a little, but it doesn't make any noise.There are decorative paintings and tables on the surrounding cloth, which are found here in general hotels.

There are even humidifiers and heaters.

This heater is not used during the day, but it can be used in the desert at night.

The next day, Chen Xing was planning to go back today, but the two girls, Mozi and Nana, had just arrived in Dunhuang and hadn’t seen many attractions, so they went to Yumen Pass with them to experience the first place in ancient Northwest China. Guan's love beyond the Great Wall.

Why bamboo flute complain willow, spring is not degree Pass.

Yumenguan is obviously located in Gansu, and this province is not a frontier province. Why did such poems be written in ancient times?

Because after going out from here, it is the famous Lop Nur. From the perspective of the environment at that time, this place is no longer the familiar Han culture.On the right side of it is the Hexi Corridor known to Chinese people from ancient times to the present, on the right side is Lop Nur, and a little farther is the Taklamakan Desert.

How do you let the spring breeze survive this kind of environment?

Even now, after climbing the Yumen Pass, what you see is full of yellow sand and a desolate look.

For tourists, automatic filtering is fine.

After returning from Yumen Pass, Chen Xing boarded the train to Yanjing overnight.

Sister Yu is indeed very good, but if he continues to travel with them, Chen Xing will not be able to catch up with Yanjing to watch the National Day flag-raising ceremony. He will not change his travel plans for the sake of a woman who only meets overnight.Chen Xing didn't know that the two of them knew their identities before, but after knowing it, Chen Xing was still a little embarrassed.

On the train, he took out his computer and sorted out the pictures he took during this period.

Dunhuang is really good. This place looks good no matter how you shoot it, and it is especially suitable for Chen Xing's shooting style. If you don't want to reduce the number of films you produce, then basically 60.00% of these photos can be sold in the same art exhibition as before.

The remaining 20.00% are waste films, and some are beauties shot by Chen Xing.

It is a pity that you cannot take pictures in the Mogao Grottoes. It would be great if you could take pictures of the colorful grottoes. Even if you can’t sell them, you can use them as souvenirs.

Sitting next to Chen Xing were two Dunhuang natives who were on a business trip. Seeing Chen Xing selecting photos on the computer, they watched for over an hour without saying a word, until Chen Xing finished counting all the photos and prepared to When a Dunhuang folder was created and saved, one of them spoke.

"Little brother, did you take these photos? It's so beautiful."

When Chen Xing heard their accents, he knew they were locals from Dunhuang. He smiled modestly and said, "It's okay, it's mainly something I like."

Another person said: "The promotional videos we shot in Dunhuang don't seem to be as good as yours."

"That's not enough, I haven't fixed it yet."

To really take photos of scenic spots, tourists are not a problem. Chen Xing has many ways to deal with those tourists who keep moving around.

Therefore, in the photos these people saw, there are many big scenes where no tourists can be seen. Only those photos taken casually by Chen Xing will have a large number of tourists affecting viewing, but no matter which one is before and after, you have to look at it carefully. It takes a trip to PS to become a blockbuster.

"Really, we will shoot new promotional videos here every once in a while. It was okay a few years ago, but now I always feel like a concept map of a community released by a real estate. It is getting worse and worse. You These photos I think are better than them."

Chen Xing cleaned up hundreds of photos just now. If it is true as they said, all the promotional photos of Dunhuang for several years may be resolved.

But it's not good if you take people's politeness seriously.

Chen Xing can often hear compliments, and he has long been used to this feeling, and deletes those useless videos while chatting with them.

The light is bright now, and the train is not completely stable, so Chen Xing didn't start editing pictures on it, put away the computer, listened to the music, and looked at the northwest scenery that gradually passed by like a movie outside the window.

The area outside the Northwest Great Wall has been excluded from the Han culture in ancient times, but this time when Chen Xing came to visit, he found that there were shadows of Chinese culture everywhere.

France is a city of immigrants. There are people from all over the world. They also have many different cultures, but they are distinct. For example, there is a district in Paris that basically belongs to Chinese people. There, you can experience many festivals celebrated by Chinese talents. Quite prosperous.

As for China, many people say that it is a very inclusive country.

This kind of inclusiveness does not mind who you were before and what culture you had, but as long as you accept and learn Chinese culture and integrate it into your own culture, no one can say that you are foreigners after a hundred years.

Even for white people.

Many people in Huaxia may not know that among the 56 ethnic groups in China, there are no less than five white minorities, and they are also orthodox Huaxia people.

Speaking of desert culture, even Chinese people would think of Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, etc., but China is also one of the countries with the largest desert area, and naturally has its own desert culture.However, Chen Xing prefers to call this desert culture the desert culture.

The ancient Chinese called the place beyond the Great Wall a desert, and now the most typical one is naturally this scenic spot around Dunhuang.

The desert is desolate and hot, and only the oasis survives.

The desert sounds desolate and heroic, and there is no need to hide the gap. How many epic stories have appeared outside Yumen Pass throughout the ages.
