2001年金秋时节,我们由呼和浩特驱车三日.行程近1500公里,又一次走进了内蒙古最西端那遥远而又令人神往的额济纳旗。这是近年来的第五次了。当北京切诺基迎着西沉的落日,穿过戈壁,越下最后一座山丘,眼前便赫然出现了一片郁郁葱葱的绿洲。顿时,长途跋涉的困倦消失了。两辆车上的考古队员都直起了腰身,打开车窗,相互挥舞着手臂呼喊着,第一次来这里的人更是兴奋,赞叹称奇之声不绝于耳。砂石路两旁是胡杨自然保护区。高大的胡杨,在夕阳余辉的映照下,挺着苍劲的枝干,金黄色的叶片晶莹剔透,闪闪发亮;一丛丛的红柳,郁郁葱葱,在淡淡的秋风中,浅灰色的柳穗,轻轻摇曳……呵!这 In the autumn of 2001, we drove by Hohhot for three days with a journey of nearly 1,500 km and once again we reached the distant and fascinating Ejina Banner in the most western end of Inner Mongolia. This is the fifth time in recent years. When Beijing Cherokee meets the setting sun in the West, through the Gobi, the last hill, the immediate emergence of a lush oasis.

It was even more exciting to be here for the first time. Gravel Road on both sides of the Populus Nature Reserve. Tall Populus euphratica, in the sunset afterglow of the map, very vigorous branches, golden leaves crystal clear, shiny; a bundle of red willow, lush, in the faint autumn wind, light gray willow spike, light Gently swaying ...... Oh!
