talatan in gonghe county, hainan tibetan autonomous prefecture, qinghai province, was once a desert land ravaged by wind and sand. now it has become a photovoltaic power generation park with the largest installed capacity in the world. rows of blue photovoltaic panels stand facing the sun here, forming an endless "photovoltaic ocean". what green miracles have been created here?

when you walk into tara beach, you can see photovoltaic panels everywhere. they are arranged neatly in rows and open to absorb the sunlight. the green grass is green under the photovoltaic panels, and groups of "photovoltaic sheep" are eating grass leisurely.

this vibrant land was once a gobi desert with a desertification rate of 98.5%. the development of the photovoltaic industry here not only brings economic benefits, but also unexpectedly improves the ecological environment. photovoltaic panels are like natural protective umbrellas, reducing wind speed, reducing soil water evaporation, and allowing vegetation to gradually return to life.

smart herders also followed. they graze here, which not only solves the problem of scarcity of fodder in the gobi, but also avoids the problem of grass growing too high and blocking the photovoltaic panels.

around the tower solar power plant, there are mirrors instead of photovoltaic panels. these mirrors are arranged in concentric circles, like a group of sunflowers, and can automatically adjust their angles to follow the sun, ensuring that sunlight is accurately reflected to the top of the tower, and the light spots formed can be clearly seen dozens of kilometers away.

this unique building, which looks like an alien lighthouse, is an expert at using sunlight to generate green electricity, just like photovoltaic panels. but the difference is that it can continue to generate electricity at night or on cloudy days, solving the problem of photovoltaic panels not being able to work during these periods. how does a solar thermal power station generate electricity? what high technologies are hidden behind it? please stay tuned for "china's new landmark" on october 5.
