In Australia, in addition to the bright sun and good beaches, there is a world-famous quiet place, Urumu boulder. This strange name, which sounds a little strange, represents the charming other side of Australia-distant, mysterious indigenous culture and rugged, wild primitive beauty. The quiet starry sky here will take you through time and space and return to a thousand years ago.
What is "Urumu"? Where?
Urumu is actually a huge rock, also known as Ayers Rock (Ayers Rock), which stands in the vast desert plains of central Australia and belongs to Urumu Catachuta National Park. it is one of the 50 places in the world that has been rated as a must-see in life many times, and it is also the most famous natural symbol in Australia.
What`s the special place for Fulu?
Uluru is the largest monolithic monolith in the world. Because of its special interior structure, this monolith is colorful as the light changes, giving it a hundred shapes, so that you can look at the day motionless.
The Uluru Giant Rock is guarded by the Anan ancients, the aborigines of Australia, who lived here tens of thousands of years ago, who still retain the way of life of the primitive tribes, and the land on which they depend for their survival from generation to generation. Urumu was the name of the boulder by the Anan ancients, who later named it after the white man arrived.
Uru is the sacred stone in the hearts of the aborigines and has important religious and cultural significance. They held religious ceremonies here and gathered for discussion. In the strange cave of Urumu, we can also see the paintings and rock carvings left by the aboriginal ancestors, ancient and simple, from which we can see the indigenous people`s understanding of the world, as well as the sacred story of this nation, full of mysterious primitive aesthetic feeling. Visitors here are often conquered by the unique spirituality of this ancient land.
What`s the fun of Uluru?
Urumu, one of the world`s nine best stargazers, has to watch the sunset, the Voice of Silence desert starry dinner and the wild starlight show. In addition, regular projects such as hiking, riding camels and visiting indigenous cultural centers can also be carried out during the day.
First, desert red land to observe the sunset of the strong and beautiful
The most amazing of the day, the sun`s irradiation made it a flame-like orange-red, and it was very crude and sacred in the surrounding wild red land.
By Joy tiny fish as the sun sets and the warm inland desert calms down, perhaps the best thing to do at this time is to enjoy the beautiful sunset and sunset in the southern hemisphere while tasting pure Australian red wine.
Experience process
Tourists will take a special bus from Ayers Rock Resort to the desert viewing platform to watch the sunset. Located between Urumu and Catachu, the viewing platform is an excellent viewing location in the desert.
On the viewing platform, fine champagne snacks are ready for visitors to taste in person. Here, you can not only witness the original rough natural landscape, but also enjoy the comfort and convenience of modern society.
In the gap between the sunset, you can enjoy the aboriginal dance with primitive tension, and experience the mysterious indigenous instrument dijiridu, listening to its psychedelic ancient sounds.
The sun slowly disappeared on the western horizon, and Urumu, shining in the setting sun, gradually changed into different colors; as the sky darkened, Uru`s huge body became deeper and deeper. To make matters better, tourists can enjoy the wonderful scene while tasting champagne. This wonderful process of change, let people feel the vastness and mystery of nature in a comfortable way.
During this unforgettable period, please remember to take pictures and remember that the light changes rapidly at sunset. It is recommended that you take a picture of Urumu every five minutes and record its changing colors. If it is a rainy day (very small probability), you will have the opportunity to see the current running down from Urumu.
Second, "Voice of Silence" Desert Star Dinne
Urumu has no light pollution and is very suitable for shooting the vast starry sky, so it is listed as one of the "nine best starry places" in the world. The Voice of Silence Desert Star Dinner is one of Australia`s most popular tourism projects, known as the ultimate enjoyment of "silent over sound." Tourists in the desert fields, accompanied by the mysterious music of the aborigines, with sunset as the account, the earth as the table, enjoy a big meal, until starry night comes.
In this process, visitors can enjoy the mysterious aboriginal culture, high - quality modern food and vast and deep experience.
By Wu Zhengqing set foot on the red earth dinner, waiting for night to fall, really into nature`s primitive rugged, open and tolerant mind, in this barren red soil, with the bright moon and starry sky to eat, this experience itself is unusual. All kinds of wine have been poured and drank with friends at the same table. The sound of the indigenous musical instrument playing by the musician came from afar, more like coming from the depths of the earth, listening to the echoes of the earth trembling. The sky is boundless, the stars are numerous, the moon is silent, and you can taste emu kangaroo meat on this night (note: tasting emu kangaroo meat is legal locally). Look up at the celestial phenomena and look for your own constellations and the reverie patterns in your heart, or you can just talk to yourself quietly.
Experience process
After enjoying the day of the great beauty, the professional service personnel will turn on the candlelight, in the form of an upper-Australian dinner. The tourists have the opportunity to savor the unique desert barbecue and various kinds of vegetables, such as kangaroo meat, crocodile meat, mutton, and oyster meat, and drink wine and soft drinks.
At this time, the First Nations band will play one of the oldest musical instruments in the world, and also the treasure and representative of the indigenous culture and art. The music with a psychedelic color, with the mysterious breath of the ancient time, reflected the silence of the sound of the city, and the sound of the visitors to the lost night.
In addition to food, intimate staff will also teach everyone about the starry sky. Because Australia is located in the southern hemisphere, the stars here are very different from those seen in the northern hemisphere-for example, the North Star is not seen here, but depends on the most representative Southern Cross in the southern hemisphere to identify the direction, and the Southern Cross is also the five stars on the right side of the Australian flag.
Finally, the staff will put out the candles on the table, although in the wilderness is dark, but the top of the sky is full of stars, instantly let people feel the breadth of nature and the vastness of the universe. In fact, this is the true meaning of the Voice of Silence: in this vast desert, the stillness between heaven and earth is the only sound that needs to be felt and listened to by heart.

Viewing time: the "Field Stars" exhibition is divided into three departure periods per night, 30 minutes after sunset, 1 hour and 15 minutes after sunset, and 2 hours after sunset.
The viewing time is about 1 hour and 30 minutes.
Experience process
Field Star is a beautiful lighting art exhibition set by the famous lighting exhibition artist Bruce Munro, which is set in the wilderness but has an international artistic standard. It not only contrasts with the surrounding natural landscape, but also echoes the vast starry sky on its head.
, Bruce Munro and his team installed more than 50000 luminous tubes covered with frosted glass spheres, the size of four football fields, to adapt to the vast area of laterite center! These glass spheres are connected by a series of intricate optical fiber networks, and when night falls in Urumu, they bloom like flowers in the night sky.
