#FotoVorschlag - Touri-Hotspot

Photo theme - tourist hotspot

There are people who will say you should avoid tourist hotspots but tourist hotspots are usually hotspots for a good reason.

From our honeymoon in 2008, here's the Great Wall of China just north of Beijing. Very few of us westerners were there at this time so we were almost as interesting to the Chinese tourists as the wall and landscape itself.

China's 3,046-Kilometer "Great Green Wall" Has Transformed Its Largest Desert Into A Carbon Sink

#China has a new #GreatWall but this one isn't built of stone and mortar to repel marauding invaders from the north. Instead, the “Great Green Wall” is a vast belt of #trees and #shrubs lining the bottom of its northern deserts, designed to halt the steady creep of #desertification. New research suggests this massive megaproject is already functioning as a vital #CarbonSink, helping to stabilize the local #environment.

Located in northwest China’s Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, the #TaklamakanDesert is one of the driest places on Earth and the largest #desert in the country. It’s sometimes called the “Sea of Death” and “The Place of No Return” because of its desolate landscape, defined by towering dunes and a scarcity of #wildlife
