Sunset at Nanhu Yardang, the story of Hami's years in light and shadow

In Hami, the sunset at Nanhu Xiaoyardang is truly spectacular. Here, the vast Gobi Desert stretches endlessly, and when the sunset glow falls, the entire Nanhu land is wrapped in warm light. Light and shadow flow among the scattered yardang formations, with deep purple shadows pooling in the lower grooves, orange-pink and yellow-orange gradients glowing on the middle cliffs, and dazzling bright red-gold topping the peaks. The wind sweeps across the dunes, lifting fine sand particles that weave a translucent golden veil in the sunset glow. The yardang silhouettes blend with the evening clouds, taking on various shapes—like a proud lion, like companions walking side by side, like outstretched wings, with sand sparkling like scattered stars. This place not only offers unique scenery but also carries the stories of Hami people through the years, from pioneering the Gobi to the new chapter of the Silk Road. Every step is persistent, every advance passionate. Visitors here can feel the warmth of the sunset, experience the Hami people's original spirit of "daring to be first and sincere perseverance," and gain awe and inspiration. Come to Nanhu Xiaoyardang to chase a "fairy-tale sunset" and listen to the touching stories of Hami people living in harmony with this land!
