Mike: Wow! It's already hot at 8:00 am. Dad, can we really stay in the desert for a whole
day?
Dad: Don't worry. This part of the desert is safe. And I've made a lot of preparations.
Here you are. These are hats with fans!
Mike: That really helps me cool down! But can they work for a whole day?
Dad: Yes, of course. They're powered by the sun! They won't stop working with so much
sunlight.
[After four hours.]
Dad: It's noon. Let's take a break.
Mike: What shall we have for lunch?
Dad: Let's cook some beef with our solar cooker.
Mike: That was quick! Um, our phone is almost out of power…
Dad: It's OK. Look at these solar power banks. They use sunlight to make electricity.
We can charge our phone with them.
Mike: Wow. The sun is so powerful. I really look forward to visiting the solar park here
in Ningxia. I've just found a news report about it…

Reporter: Now I'm reporting from one of the biggest solar parks in the world. It's in Yinchuan, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region. Lots of solar panels cover the sand… It looks like a shining ocean in the middle of the desert. Amazing!
Let me tell you more. The park covers an area of 20 square kilometres. It can provide power for more than a million homes every year! Can you believe that? And the solar park is doing more than just providing power. Look under the panels. It has turned the desert into a garden of goji trees. Farmers can sell the goji berries for money. This can help improve the lives of local people.
In 2022, China started to build a new desert solar panel base in Ningxia. It will become the largest one in the country. The solar energy in Ningxia will help to power a greener China. What a bright future!
