Gansu , Not just the silent Northwest in people’s mind. This land is blooming with infinite vitality and greenery, and a deep river of history flows. It has more enviable colors. The wild red of Danxia landform… The refreshing green of Qilian Mountain… The golden color of Populus euphratica forest in autumn… Walking on the desolate land, such color contrast is often unbelievable. This is the most special place in Gansu, but not the most powerful place. The most powerful is Eight thousand years of civilization is here . Emperor Wu of the Han pierced the Western Regions here, and the art of grottoes lasted for thousands of years. How many eminent monks spread the Dharma here… No place is more qualified to represent the glorious history of China than the Hexi Corridor. Gansu, In the eyes of foodies, it may be a bowl of Lanzhou beef noodles. In the eyes of martial arts fans, it may be a martial arts novel. This man in the northwest has responsibility, pride, and subtlety. Even the place names have a classical charm with hundreds of thousands of turns. Lanzhou, Jiuquan, Longnan, Zhangye, Wuwei, Dunhuang, Tianshui, Jiayuguan… Here, we embarked on the journey of the sea of ​​stars. Here, historical figures opened new doors. This is Gansu, a place full of legends. 01 ” Gansu’s majestic atmosphere, sometimes crazy, and sometimes peaceful landforms. Almost condensed the beauty of most of China. ” Gahai Lake As the largest freshwater lake in Gannan, it is known as the pearl on the plateau. Because of the luxuriant water and grass here, various rare birds are attracted to the grassy beach by the lake. Heihe Wetland The colors are both rich and saturated, and it is also a transit point where birds often rest when they migrate. As one of the only 45 national urban wetland parks in China, the beauty here not only attracts a large number of photographers from afar. It has been recognized as an “important wetland” internationally very early. Qilian Mountains There are treasures almost everywhere, and they are affectionately called “Wanbaoshan”. The scenery throughout the year is even more beautiful with softness. Flowers bloom all over the grassland in spring, cool in summer, and golden colors in autumn. Sangke Grassland There is a kind of natural beauty unique to Gannan, and simple Tibetan customs. There are few people and big land here, so you can explore all kinds of scenery and ways to play. Every July and August, people put up Tibetan bags on the vast grassland. Whether it is a bonfire dinner or a Tibetan meal, it is so beautiful. Minle rape blossoms It’s like a natural oil painting. Every spring, the large planted rapeseeds become a sea of ​​golden flowers, which is magnificent. Populus euphratica There are tens of thousands of acres, and a large number of tree species unique to the northwest are distributed. Every year in autumn, between the blue sky and the barren desert, it becomes a bright landscape. Zhangye Danxia It is the only scenery in the country where the colorful hills and Danxia are combined. If you want to see the most beautiful scenery of Danxia, ​​it’s best to see it after the rain or in the twilight, when the light is transparent. The clear and intertwined lines and the magnificent and changeable tones make people can’t help but admire the power of nature. Crescent Spring The existence of itself is a miracle. “Sand does not fill the spring, the spring does not run out” It is hard to imagine how Yi Wang Qingquan was quietly independent in the depths of the desert. This is probably the most beautiful scenery outside the Great Wall. Mysterious and beautiful, delicate and shocking. Yumen Pass Yadan Devil City It is a wind-eroded landform. “If you don’t see the curious appearance, you don’t know the god of good fortune” This extraordinary natural wonder is a gift from the wind and the sun over the years. The gale rushed from all corners of here, making strange noises, so it was called the “Devil City” by the locals. 02 “The Pure Land to Wash the Soul” Labrang Monastery It is a world-renowned “Tibetan Institute” and has the best Tibetan Buddhism teaching system in the country. It is also the most worth visiting place in Gannan. In the most prosperous period, there were more than 4,000 monks. Labrang Monastery means “the place where the living Buddha lives” in Tibetan, and its status in people’s hearts is evident. The passing corridor in the temple once became an existence that shocked the world. There are more than 2,000 prayer wheels, if you want to turn it all over, you have to walk for at least an hour. The magnificent temple complex is quite large in scale. If you want to have a panoramic view, cross the Xiahe from the ancient wooden bridge in the southwest corner and stand on the Buddha Tan. Langmusi It is not a temple, but a quiet and unique town in Gannan. Because of its primitive ecology and pure scenery, it is called “Little Switzerland in the East”. The children here have grown up in grasslands and temples since they were young. Zhagana It is a stone city with a strange and steep mountain, and it is also like a huge palace. Whenever the sun rises, the mountains are filled with clouds and mist, like a fairyland. The Tibetan village has always maintained the most primitive living conditions, nomadic, farming, hunting, woodcutting… In this place, you can not only enjoy the beautiful scenery, but also find the peace in your heart. 03 Dunhuang·Mogao Grottoes It is the existence that will amaze and shock everyone. “When you look at Mogao Grottoes, you are not looking at a specimen that has been dead for a thousand years, but a life that has been alive for a thousand years.” After entering, it seemed to come to another mysterious world. The content of the murals seems to contain great power, including the lives of eminent monks, portraits, and fairy tales… Maiji Mountain Grottoes Probably the least famous of the four largest grottoes in China. In fact, its collections are quite amazing. With its clay sculptures, it was directly named the “Oriental Sculpture Art Gallery” by the world. Gansu Provincial Museum It is a stop in Lanzhou that must be punched in. You can skip ramen, but you must go to the museum. This is currently the most authentic museum in China, with more than 350,000 pieces of collection piece together a splendid history. Shandan Horse Farm It is the oldest royal racecourse in the world. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union Don River Racecourse, it once became the world’s top racecourse. Gansu It seems that there are not many “net celebrities” in China, but the evaluation and popularity abroad have always been very high. It was once the only province in China on the list of “52 Must-Go Destinations in the World” officially released by the “New York Times”. Traveling bacteria always feel that people owe Gansu a serious understanding. Silk Road, messenger, praying for Buddha, contention, exploration… For thousands of years, in this vicissitudes of life, many legends have been engraved. -End- “If you feel good-looking, please order one “I’m watching”.”

There are many cities in China, because they are not well developed and have no characteristics of their own, so their popularity is not high, so there are not many people who know here. What’s more, the county seat in the country is like a drop in the ocean? Yes, there are not many counties that can be known in the thousands of counties in our country, and even some counties have little sense of existence in their own provinces or even in their cities. However, there is a county in Anhui Province. It is said that the counterattack was quite successful. After a down-to-earth effort from a forgotten mountain township in southern Anhui, although the process of hard work was arduous, the counterattack succeeded in the end and became a famous “hometown of longevity” and “good health preservation”. Juxian” is also internationally recognized as “the most beautiful mountain village in China’s original ecology”. It is located in Shitai County, Chizhou City, Anhui Province. The reason why Shitai County is forgotten is not because its scenery is not beautiful enough and its history is not long enough, but because it was isolated from the world for a long time in history. Because of the underdevelopment of transportation, it is almost There is no outside information, all because of its geographic location. Because the land is located between Huangshan, one of the four most famous Buddhist mountains in China, which is the “No. 1 Wonderful Mountain in the World”, and Jiuhua Mountain, one of the four famous Buddhist mountains in China, the territory is dominated by mountains, with few arable land and no convenient transportation. In the state of isolation, few people arrive here, so that for a long time Shitai County was in a state of being forgotten. Although it is located between Huangshan Mountain, which is famous at home and abroad for its “exotic pines, strange rocks, sea of ​​clouds, hot springs, and winter snow”, and Jiuhua Mountain, one of the four famous Buddhist mountains in China, which is known as the “first mountain in the southeast”. Few people have arrived in history and are in a forgotten state, but Shitai County is also fortunate. It is precisely because the land is located between two mountains. The original ecology that is not here has not been destroyed by modernization, and it still retains the most primitive ecology. The environment here not only has a profound historical and cultural heritage, but also has the most primitive original ecology. The beautiful scenery is like a fairyland forgotten in the world. “The fairy of poetry” Li Bai has traveled here five times and left a well-known masterpiece. Seventeen Poems of Qiupu River. Shitai County, formerly known as Shidai County, is located in Chizhou City, Anhui Province. Due to its geographical location, the transportation is inconvenient, which has also caused its economic development to lag behind. It is almost in the bottom of the province, but Shitai The county has not given up its own advantages, and has developed step by step, which is a successful counterattack. It has become an ecological green city famous for “famous mountains, beautiful waters, selenium-rich land, and good air” in Anhui Province, and has become the first choice for health and wellness. place. Although Shitai County is dominated by mountains and has a small area of ​​arable land, it has a primitive ecology and the only area of ​​arable land is rich in “selenium”. We also all know that selenium is one of the 15 essential nutrients for the human body. It is a very important trace element for our health, and it is also an indispensable trace element. The selenium resources contained in the soil of Shitai County are quite rich. It is one of the three famous selenium-rich places in China. It is not only “the most beautiful mountain village in China”, but also the “hometown of longevity”. The area of ​​Shitai County is not large, and the area of ​​arable land is not much. In addition to the inconvenient transportation, the economic development is relatively lagging, and it has been at the bottom of the province for a long time. However, Shitai County is not in a hurry to develop industry. Instead, it develops its own advantages step by step and seizes the opportunity, because people living here know that although the mountains isolate here from the world, the Qiupu River flows here. The beautiful water and the green ecology of West Huangshan Mountain are the best resources here. The beautiful mountains and clear waters and dense forests have become the best sign of Shitai County. The development of eco-tourism has also become the best road in Shitai County. There are 7 national 4A-level tourist attractions, including Guniujiang, Qiupu River, Penglai Fairy Cave, Strange Lake, Zuishanye, Xianyu Mountain, and Yulong Cave. The original ecology, its beauty has long been hidden, it is veritable “China’s most beautiful ecological leisure tourism county.” Because of this, Shitai County has succeeded in the counterattack because of this newcomer. From a forgotten state, it has become a livable resort that countless people yearn for.

Don Ca arch bridge is located in the boundary between Da Nang and Hue, next to the monuments of Don Ca and Bai Bac Station, also known as Hai Van Bac station. This train station is a stopover for the North-South railway, connecting Hue’s Lang Co station with Da Nang’s Hai Van station. (Photo: Internet) (Photo: Internet) This destination located between Hue and Da Nang has a beauty like a painting in a wonderland but is little known because this place is hidden at the foot of Don Ca bridge. This bridge is located across the pass, at the foot is a gently flowing stream. Surrounding the arch bridge is surrounded by majestic mountains and forests, the green color of nature makes the stone pillars stand out in a corner of the sky. (Photo: Internet) The scenery on the way to Don Ca arch bridge is very poetic, like in fairy tales. A few scattered houses on both sides of the road, the rows of green trees stretching along the winding track will make you want to immerse yourself forever in that fairy world. (Photo: Internet) (Photo: Internet) Don Ca arch bridge is a railway bridge, in terms of structure, the foot of the bridge forms dome compartments, with towering stone pillars. It is the design of that dome bridge that many people associate them with the shape of the gates in heaven, so this place is also fondly called “heaven’s gate”. About every 30 minutes, a red and blue train crosses the bridge once. If you are lucky, you will have the opportunity to see this very interesting scene. (Photo: Internet) Almost separate from the real world, Don Ca arch bridge is also likened to a princess sleeping in the middle of a green, peaceful and beautiful forest. The soft stream crosses the bridge like a soft silk embracing the sleeping princess. (Photo: Internet) (Photo: Internet) (Photo: Internet) (Photo: Internet)

Like a stream in the rainy season filled with a waterfall of thousands of mountains Oh my dear The sun is wild to heart Forget and give me the days of oblivion *** I need to be quiet To organize unruly thoughts Like people returning from far away arrange the furniture in the messy house *** I watched the heavy gray berries sway And remember the old purple flower color And my hair is getting shorter and shorter Because not enough to wait And that obscure position in life It also doesn’t seem real And you *** Even though I am very close Forget and give me the days of oblivion I ask for this silence To get into the dark corner Immersed in fear of the distant days Comments And, back to stillness is a beautiful poem by Dinh Thi Nhu Thuy. In slow rhythm, somewhat startled, poetic like farewell. Goodbye love, goodbye to yourself. The four poetry evoked from an awareness of love and one’s place in love may contain many melodies. That is the expression of the woman’s position. Not strong enough to wait, dissatisfied with obscurity, fear of unreal things is the source of the feeling of return. I ask for a tranquility to rearrange my heart, to remember the old purple flower color, to forget about passion like a waterfall of thousands of mountains. Wild love like the sun, will then become nothingness, like him?

Many people believe that Yoona is the one who “gave birth” to the term “ visual group “, when she was ranked by SM Ent as the center of SNSD’s lineup thanks to her beautiful appearance, good dancing skills and very bright stage performance. The audience is still sucked into the beautiful Korean face, Yoona’s bright smile without realizing that Yoona also has a respectable waistline. Her waist is extremely toned, her belly number 11 is clearly visible and correct without any extra fat. That’s why Yoona is always confident in crop-top to perform belly-shaking movements like this. Yoona’s dance moves are much more appealing thanks to her beautiful waistline, looking at her side makes it clear how much she has to practice to have this standard abs. Koreans are already very fond of the X-shaped body, which means that the shoulders and hips go along with the waist of the ant. Yoona is praised for being a girl with a typical X-shaped body. Although the body is said to be a bit thin, with a little fleshy skin, it will be better, but Yoona still has a soft S-curve, especially when she wears open-waist clothing. Young and healthy Yoona image with shorts and shirt crop-top has caused tragedy for many people and still can be netizen Drop praise when reviewing.

Climate change is described as increasingly severe. Billionaire, philanthropist and Microsoft founder Bill Gates has published his latest book titled “How to Avoid a Climate Disaster”. Not only rich, considered the owner of a great brain, Bill Gates is also known for his predictions about the future, like a global pandemic Covid-19 that he saw six years ago. During a presentation at the TED Talk 2015, Gates urged nations to work together to prepare for a pandemic that could come at any moment. At this point, when the Covid -19 translation was on the verge of being controlled, the billionaire turned a new interest. He said that the world should prepare for a possible climate disaster, and we should best work together to find ways to prevent it. Here are some excerpts from the book “How to avoid a climate disaster” by billionaire Bill Gates. Billionaire Bill Gates. “Letter” of billionaire Bill Gates “As of February 2021, Covid-19 has claimed the lives of more than 2.2 million people worldwide. The pandemic has changed the way we work, the way we live and the way we communicate in society. But at the same time, 2020 is also a pivotal year for us to have new hopes on climate change … In 2021, the United Nations will gather in Scotland for a summit. Another big peak on climate change. Of course, there is no guarantee that we will make any progress in addressing climate change. But opportunities still open from there. Bill Gates continues: I plan to spend much of my time in 2021 talking to world leaders on both climate change and Covid-19. I will make it clear to them that many lessons from the pandemic can also be applied to climate change. Let’s say our values ​​and principles guide us to a pandemic. First, we need international cooperation. The phrase “we have to work together” is easy to be seen as cliché, but it’s true. As governments, researchers, and pharmaceutical companies work together during the Covid-19 pandemic, the world has made remarkable progress, including that the development and testing of vaccines are already in place. show in record time. And when we don’t learn from each other, we prolong our own misery. The same is true of climate change. If rich countries work hard to reduce their own greenhouse gas emissions without thinking of sharing clean technologies with everyone, then we will never reach zero carbon emissions. . In another passage, billionaire Bill Gates writes: We need science – indeed, interdisciplinary science – to guide our efforts. During the Covid-19 pandemic, we looked to biology, virology and pharmacology, as well as political science and economics – after all. And just as epidemiology tells us about the risks of Covid-19 but does not say how we must stop it, climate science also tells us why we need to change. changing course but not telling how we should do it. To do this, we have to rely on engineering, physics, environmental science, economics … And our solutions must meet the needs of the group of people most severely affected. With Covid-19, the people who suffer the most are the ones with the fewest options – for example, they cannot work from home or take time to care for themselves or their loved ones. And most of them are people of color, people on low incomes. Among those hospitalized for treatment, the death rate from Covid-19 was four times higher than among the poor. Globally, Covid-19 has erased many progress after decades of efforts to reduce poverty and disease. It took us 25 years of progress in just about 25 weeks. Therefore, we need to plan a precise transition into a zero-emission future. People in poor countries need help adapting to a warmer world. Ultimately, we can do things that both help rescue economies from the Covid-19 catastrophe and spark innovation to avoid a climate catastrophe. By investing in clean energy research and development. Do not let the “war” be forgotten The impacts of climate change are visible globally, but reality shows that vulnerable people in developing countries suffer most of the extreme weather events such as storms, floods and periods of extreme heat, while the impact of climate change is visible globally. At the 2021 Climate Change Adaptation Summit hosted by the Netherlands in an online format, people had access to the issues raised by Germanwatch Environmental Consultation Organization. This organization has emphasized the “fate” of poor countries in the climate change process. The organization also said that the $ 100 billion a year that industrialized countries committed to contribute to climate change will not come true, because only a small portion of this amount is used because climate change adaptation goals. Germanwatch Foundation’s David Eckstein also said that eight of the 10 countries most affected between 2000 and 2019 were developing countries with low or even low per capita incomes. “Poorer countries are hit hardest because they are more vulnerable to the effects of a hazard and are less able to cope.” Over the past 20 years, globally nearly 480,000 deaths are directly related to more than 11,000 extreme weather events. Economic loss amounted to about 2.56 trillion USD (in purchasing power parity terms. “The global Covid-19 pandemic has reminded us of the fact that vulnerable countries are exposed to various risks – climate, geophysical, economic, health and holes. That gap is systematic and all linked together ”- Ms. Laura Schaefer of Germanwatch Foundation said. Fortunately, besides the urgent fight against the Covid-19 pandemic, the fight against climate change has not been completely forgotten. A recent survey shows that nearly two-thirds of people polled around the world currently consider climate change a threat to humanity. However, the same number of respondents said that national governments are not interested in the “hook-up” to combat climate change. The survey, titled “Survey on the people’s climate” organized by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) in conjunction with Oxford University, covers over 50 countries. About 1.22 million people of all genders, ages and education levels participated in the survey, in which young people participated in a significant number (about 550,000 people aged 14-18 years old participated). Cassie Flynn – UNDP Strategic Advisor Cassie Flynn said: “People are frightened, they are seeing wildfires in Australia and California, they are seeing acute storms. years and in the Caribbean, they are witnessing floods in Southeast Asia. We have to do something about it. ” Environmental protection organizations have agreed to put in place the top 4 policies, including: 1 / Forest and land conservation (54%) 2 / Use solar, wind and renewable energy (53%) 3 / Climate-friendly farming techniques (52%) 4 / Invest more money in green businesses and jobs (50%). The least favored options for dealing with climate change are plant-based diets, with only 30% of respondents believing it to be the best approach. To date, the question of what the world has done in the fight against climate change, is considered to be still “hanging”. Nearly six years ago, the international community gathered in Paris to develop a joint approach with the aim of combating climate change and reaching the Paris Agreement. Countries have agreed to set a goal to increase their capacity to respond to global climate change by limiting the increase in the Earth’s surface temperature to no more than 2 degrees Celsius and trying to be 1.5 degrees C lower than with the pre-industrial stage. However, in July 2019, the global temperature exceeded 1.2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, equal to or even surpass the record of the hottest month since the start of the temperature statistics. . The Secretary-General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, has repeatedly stressed that our planet is on its way to experiencing the hottest years in its history. Mr. Guterres said that in order to win the war in climate change, the most important thing is the voluntary contribution of the countries. Here, very important are the rich countries. The UN Secretary-General also said that the international community is still not acting fast enough given the rising global emissions and the rising temperatures. “If we continue to act late, there will be a catastrophe that will raise global temperatures by 3 degrees C or more in this century,” Guterres said, emphasizing that, there is a need to change the head from a gray and dirty economy to a green one. “We have technology and now we have to make it available to all people in all countries. And must act now! Every factor that leads to global warming is likely to exist, and the longer we wait, the greater the negative impact will inevitably be. ” And, it is extremely important that even though the war against the Covid-19 epidemic is not over, it is impossible to neglect the global fight against climate change.

Building exterior. An old villa is estimated to be about 100 years old, called by the people around it as Bao Dai Villa, with the interior structures, rooms, stairs and toilets almost intact. The new owner of the villa, businessman Ho Hoang Hai (Phu Thanh Company) is looking for support from researchers, architects … to learn the origin of the villa and have a conservation direction. to turn this place into an attractive cultural site of Hanoi. The villa is located near Ngoc Ha slope, hidden behind the rows of shops and street kiosks, still intact the curving fence panels of the old royal garden. According to the drawings of the villa that Mr. Ho Hoang Hai collected, the villa has a splendid scalloped garden with a wall of winding like dragon body outside. The main entrance to the building. The mansion is the main work in a complex of four ancient villas located at the top of Ngoc Ha village. According to the people living in this area, these palaces are all related to the Nguyen Dynasty during the reign of King Bao Dai. Some of these houses are designed in Western style but have tiled roofs. Landing stairs and windows to get sunlight. The building has a unique architecture that combines both oriental styles. Passing through the gate of 186 Ngoc Ha, one can easily see that the fence wall of the villa is built like a dragon, covered with tile, and from above, you can see that the entire wall is formed into a shell Giant clams embrace the mansion. The stairs lead up to the attic. Entrepreneur Ho Hoang Hai said that this villa has passed the hands of many owners, however, fortunately the owners are very careful to keep the house during the stay, so the basic structure of the building, with some parts of the interior still intact. The whole floor is paved with ironwood, the water is shiny black like new. The system of built-in cabinets is also made of iron wood. Inside the rooms, every room has a fireplace. The wall separates rooms inside the building up to 60cm, is soundproof and keeps warm in winter, but makes rooms cool in summer. Wooden ladder. The stylized winding wooden staircase, with the armrest is firmly built with bricks and wooden edges. In the corridor connecting the rooms on the floor, there are built-in technical boxes, which seemed impossible at a time about 100 years ago. In addition to the original wooden door system, the building also has sliding door systems in some rooms and garages, which are still running smoothly and very light. Except for a few rooms, the owner has made plaster ceilings to serve the needs of homestay, but did not affect much the structure. In particular, the villa also has a self-contained, upstairs toilet, which is no different from modern houses, which was difficult to find in other ordinary houses 100 years ago. The stairs lead to the 3rd floor. Mr. Dao Duc Toan, 66 years old this year, who is one of those who lived near the mansion since he was a child, said that this mansion has many interesting things. For example, below the building there is an underground tunnel about a few hundred meters long, which is said to lead to West Lake, to the seaplane wharf of King Bao Dai. Residents living around the building also told the story of going down this tunnel to avoid bombs and hide the soldiers there during wartime. When the peace was restored, for a while the tunnel became a place to play hide and seek for children in this area before it was closed to avoid rats, bugs … Ho Hoang Hai (in black shirt standing in the middle) was leading reporters to visit the villa. In addition, Mr. Ho Hoang Hai also said that he heard people around him about a building about 50 meters away from this mansion, which is said to be the dance floor and guest house of King Bao Dai. In fact, at the beginning of Ngoc Ha slope, there used to be a famous draft beer restaurant in Hanoi at that time because there was a wine cellar below. Mr. Dao Duc Toan recounted that when he was a child, his family lived about 100 meters from the building. At that time, the population in this area was very sparse, standing on top of his house could still see the roof of the mansion. “The house has a very high historical value, with the basic interior still intact, along with many details of the building. Since childhood, I have heard that this is a building related to King Bao Dai. This house, if restored as in Do Son or Da Lat, will become an attractive tourist destination in Hanoi, ”he said. The garden fence wall is winding with the tiled roof and the relief door is still intact. Mr. Ho Hoang Hai said that he has searched for information and documents about the villa in many places, from people living in the villa’s premises, to some places to keep documents, research, but still have not found any documents and documents that accurately guide the owner and the time to build the villa. It is said that this is the house of the wife of King Bao Dai married to a French husband, there is also information that the house was built by Mrs. Marie Nguyen Huu Hao, the sister of the Empress Nam Phuong. “My biggest aspiration is to get information, as well as get help from research institutes, experts in history and architecture, to find out the exact origin and owner of the throne. this mansion. I want to turn this place into a cultural address of Hanoi, for people to understand and appreciate the precious heritage that the city owns. But only when you know clearly and concretely the information related to this house will the mansion truly return to its true meaning ”- Mr. Ho Hoang Hai shared. Some pictures inside the villa: Wall-mounted cabinets, curtain braces are still intact. All loose furniture in the house belongs to the tenant for display. Every room has a fireplace. Wall cabinet system is still intact.

Coffee stenophylla is said to have a great taste. Photo: RBG KEW. In the dense rainforest of Sierra Leone, scientists have rediscovered a species of coffee that has disappeared in the wild for decades. This is a plant that can help ensure the future of coffee, which is already affected by climate change. In 2050, climate change halves coffee production On April 19, researchers said, this coffee tree has a name Coffea stenophylla , is able to withstand higher temperatures than Arabica coffee accounts for 56% and Robusta coffee accounts for 43% of global production. Stenophylla has been shown to have a premium taste, similar to Arabica. Botanist Aaron Davis, who leads research on the anti-climate change stenophylla coffee. Photo: Inews. Botanist Aaron Davis, who led the study published in the journal Nature Plants , said, before disappearing, stenophylla plants were grown in regions of West Africa and exported to Europe until the early 20th century. According to Mr. Davis, the stenophylla coffee tree has not been seen in the wild in Sierra Leone since 1954 and in the Ivory Coast since the 1980s. This is given as an evidence. Climate change is a pressing concern for the billion-dollar coffee industry. Many coffee farmers around the world are experiencing the negative effects of this phenomenon. The taste of Arabica is considered excellent and offers a higher price than robusta, which is mainly used for instant and blended coffee. But Arabica has a limited tolerance to climate change, and research has shown that global production of this coffee can drop by at least 50% by mid-century. The fruit of the stenophylla tree is dark black. Photo: Reuters. Unlike the red and sometimes yellow berries of Arabica and robusta, the stenophylla fruit is dark black. The coffee beans are inside the fruit. The stenophylla coffee grows at an average annual temperature of 24.9 ° C, 1.9 ° C higher than Robusta and up to 6.8 ° C higher than that, the researchers said. arabica coffee. Rediscovered stenophylla “proves the future” of the coffee industry Dr Davis said the rediscovery of stenophylla could help “prove the future” of the coffee industry, to support the economies of some tropical countries and provide livelihoods for more than 100 million farmers. people. Stenophylla can be used with minimal domestication, as a high value coffee for farmers in warmer climates. “In the long run, stenophylla provides us with an important resource for breeding a new generation of climate resistant coffee, as it has great taste and good heat resistance. “If historical reports on coffee leaf rust resistance and drought tolerance are believed to be correct, this will be a useful asset for coffee plant breeding”, Mr. Davis added. This study also included the evaluation of 18 coffee tasters on the taste of stenophylla species. A small sample of this coffee bean has been roasted and made into coffee, then enjoyed by a group of coffee connoisseurs. The report showed that more than 80% of the judges were unable to distinguish the difference between Stenophylla and Arabica when tasted. Accordingly, this species has a complex flavor, with a natural sweetness, high average acidity, and a fruity taste when sipping in the mouth. The rediscovered stenophylla grows wild in Sierra Leone. Photo: RBG KEW. From December 2018, Dr. Davis and study co-author Jeremy Haggar of the University of Greenwich and coffee developer Daniel Sarmu searched wild stenophylla in Sierra Leone, where it is historically grown as a coffee tree about a century ago. Initially, they discovered a single tree in central Sierra Leone. They then discovered a healthy population of wild stenophylla some 140 kilometers southeast of Sierra Leone. “Both sites are tropical rainforest, but stenophylla tends to appear on drier, more open areas: ridges, slopes, and rocky areas,” said Dr. Davis. According to Davis, stenophylla is threatened with extinction amid massive deforestation in three countries where it is growing wild: Sierra Leone, Guinea and Ivory Coast. “I think we are extremely optimistic about the future,” said Jeremy Torz, co-founder of the Union Hand-Roasted Coffee special coffee business in East London, which hosts the tasting of the coffee. stenophylla can deliver ”. Dr. Davis hopes one day that stenophylla will be re-grown in Sierra Leone on a large scale. “I think within five to seven years we will see stenophylla enter the market as a niche, high-value coffee, and then I think it will be more popular,” he said.

History begin

Located in the middle of Ha Tay corridor, on the famous ancient silk road, the south bordering Thanh Hai province, the north bordering Noi Mong, Dan Ha geopark has two areas, that is That Thai Rainbow) and Ice Fishing. If the yellow, red, and light brown rocky mountains of That Thai are very famous, Bang Cau is less known because it was discovered in 2014 and has not received much media coverage.
