由亿万年地质变迁所赋予的地球外貌,又日夜不断地受到大自然水流与风力的刻蚀,在许多地方塑出千奇百怪的形态,形成了各种特殊的地貌,例如:河谷地貌、岩溶地貌、冰碛地貌、风蚀地貌等等。千姿百态的地貌造就了许多名胜之地。其中,有一种特殊的地貌形态,它的魅力丝毫不亚于吸引了万千游客的许多世界名胜,它也存在于中国的新疆。 这就是神奇的雅丹。 “雅丹”这个名词,自本世纪被作为一种地貌形态的专有名词载入各种教科书和地理读物以来,已逐渐为人们所熟悉,尽管绝大多数人并不曾亲眼目睹过它。这种地貌形态为什么叫做“雅丹”,人们却很少探寻,以为与“喀斯特地貌”一样,是个舶来语。 其实,“雅丹”这个词,是地地道道的新疆“乡土货”。 The earth’s appearance given by hundreds of millions of years of geological changes is constantly being etched by the currents and winds of nature day and night, forming strange forms in many places and forming various special landforms such as valley landform, karst landform , Moraine landscape, wind erosion and so on. Variety of landforms created many places of interest. Among them, there is a special topography that is as charming as many world famous attractions that attract thousands of tourists. It also exists in Xinjiang, China. This is the magical Arden. The term “yadan” has gradually become familiar to many, since most people have not witnessed it, since it was loaded with various textbooks and geo-readings as a form of geomorphology this century. Why this form of geomorphology called “Yadan”, but people rarely explore, that, like the “karst landforms,” ​​is a strange thing. In fact, the word “Yadan” is an authentic “local goods” in Xinjiang.
