從昆(kun)明到紅土地,有兩條(tiao)(tiao)線路可供選擇:第一條(tiao)(tiao)是(shi)走昆(kun)曲、嵩(song)待高速(su),第二條(tiao)(tiao)走轎子雪山旅游專(zhuan)線。分別介紹如下:
第一條:從昆明出發進(jin)入昆曲高(gao)(gao)(gao)速(su)(su)——昆嵩(song)(song)(song)高(gao)(gao)(gao)速(su)(su)——嵩(song)(song)(song)明高(gao)(gao)(gao)速(su)(su)——嵩(song)(song)(song)待高(gao)(gao)(gao)速(su)(su)——看到東川(chuan)指示牌后就(jiu)是(shi)龍潭(tan)出口——東川(chuan)區(這(zhe)高(gao)(gao)(gao)速(su)(su)標注不是(shi)很清晰容易誤導人,進(jin)入高(gao)(gao)(gao)速(su)(su)后別(bie)走G8511,一定往左邊(bian)口進(jin)入)在嵩(song)(song)(song)待高(gao)(gao)(gao)速(su)(su)下了龍潭(tan)出口,也是(shi)通往紅土地(di)必(bi)經(jing)之路,指示明確,建議走這(zhe)條路。
第二(er)條:由昆(kun)明(ming)西(xi)北(bei)方向的普吉立交進入“轎子雪(xue)山旅游專線”,到倘(tang)甸鎮(zhen)(當地人(ren)又(you)叫馬街)后,轉紅(hong)(hong)土地方向,總行程約(yue)150公(gong)(gong)里。昆(kun)明(ming)至倘(tang)甸路(lu)段(duan)為(wei)旅游專線,距離(li)約(yue)100公(gong)(gong)里,路(lu)面情況良好,平均時(shi)速可達(da)80公(gong)(gong)里;倘(tang)甸到紅(hong)(hong)土地約(yue)有50公(gong)(gong)里,中(zhong)間多為(wei)鄉村公(gong)(gong)路(lu),平均時(shi)速約(yue)40~50公(gong)(gong)里。
紅(hong)土(tu)地是一種低產貧瘠土(tu)壤,主(zhu)要是因為(wei)人(ren)(ren)為(wei)和(he)天(tian)氣自然因素加速“紅(hong)土(tu)沙(sha)漠化(hua)”。由于人(ren)(ren)多地少(shao),過(guo)(guo)度開(kai)發,濫伐森林(lin),加上土(tu)壤本(ben)身(shen)的特性,紅(hong)壤區的土(tu)壤生產力低下,水土(tu)流失嚴(yan)重,并(bing)在不少(shao)地區嚴(yan)重退化(hua),形成(cheng)“紅(hong)色荒漠化(hua)”。陡坡開(kai)墾(ken)或過(guo)(guo)度墾(ken)殖,或者毀林(lin)開(kai)荒,砍林(lin)取(qu)薪破(po)壞(huai)地表植被(bei)導致水土(tu)流失,土(tu)地退化(hua)。另外(wai),南方山(shan)區丘陵 水土(tu)流失嚴(yan)重,危(wei)害大(da)于黃土(tu)高原。導致石質裸(luo)露,不能恢(hui)復,形成(cheng)“紅(hong)色荒漠”。
