Taklamakan Desert
The Taklamakan Desert is China's largest desert and the world’s second largest shifting-sand desert. In folk etymology, Taklamakan means Enter and Never Return. The desert is also known as the Sea of Death.
塔克拉玛干沙漠
塔克拉玛干沙漠是中国最大的沙漠，也是世界上第二大的流动沙漠。在民间词源学中，塔克拉玛干意为“进去不再回来”。这片沙漠也被称为死亡之海。我们游览了沙漠西部的喀什和莎车，南部的和田以及北部的库车等绿洲城镇。

Reed Checkerboard
Low fences made from reed straw are laid out in checkerboards to fix sand dunes. The technique has successfully assured that the 500km of highway crossing the Taklamakan Desert remains open, accelerating oil exploration and exploitation.
芦苇格子
利用芦苇稻草建造成田状形以固定沙丘。这种技术成功地确保了穿越塔克拉玛干沙漠的500公里公路保持畅通，加快了油田勘探和开发的进程。

Well-adapted to Aridity
The desert poplar is a hardy tree that is well adapted to arid environments. Its deep root system allows it to access water sources far underground. The desert poplar plays a crucial role in stabilising desert ecosystems.

Shifting Sand and Sand Traps
About 85% of the Taklimakan Desert is made up of shifting sand dunes. To protect the trans desert highways from being buried in the sand, reed checkerboard sand traps and nylon webs are employed to retain the sand.
流沙和沙坑
塔克拉玛干沙漠约 85% 的面积由流沙丘组成。为了保护跨沙漠高速公路不被沙子掩埋，使用像这样的尼龙网来拦住沙子。
