The Loess Plateau is the third largest plateau in China, with an area of about 600,000 square kilometers and an average altitude of 1000-2000 meters. Most of them are covered with 50-80 meters thick loess, which is the most concentrated loess distribution and the largest thickness in the world.
This is a miracle created by nature, and it is unique in the world. The Loess Plateau is one of the birthplaces of the Chinese nation. As early as 5500 years ago, people began farming on the Loess Plateau. With the continuous development of farming, the population of the Loess Plateau increased and became the political and economic Center of China during the Qin and Han dynasties.
With the implementation of the Western Development Strategy, the economy of the Loess Plateau has developed rapidly.
