Documental references have proved that the desertification area in northern China was a pasture with beautiful scenery, and plentiful water and lush grass; a flourishing commercial pass-Ancient Silk Road ; or a densely wooded field, rich and flourishing. The desertification of this beautiful area mainly resulted from irrational human activities on the background of dry climate.
