Two topics that I have to talk about when I go to Xinjiang

1. Impressions of Xinjiang before coming to Xinjiang

When I was a teenager, the movies "Avanti" and "Visitors on the Iceberg" once remembered the wisdom and humor of the people from that mysterious and remote area and the coldness there. Later, those catchy songs "Xinjiang is a good place", "Why Are the Flowers So Red", the exotic "Girl in Osaka Castle", "The Grapes Are Ripe in Turpan". . . . Until Daolang's "Western Wind" came over a few years ago, it added to the mystery of the Western Regions.

I also remember that when I was in Shaanxi Post (Fufeng), the cantaloupe and raisins that my classmates in Xinjiang brought back to school during the summer vacation, and the mutton skewers they talked about were much more delicious than those in Fufeng. . . , One year at the gala, LDJ of the sixth class of local dialect (it seems to be, I can't remember clearly) performed "Tarim River" with singing and dancing... Tell you the song in your heart, Tarim River, the river of your hometown... …

2. Tianshan Mountains

The Tianshan Mountains, in an east-west direction, stretch for 1,700 kilometers in Xinjiang, China, covering an area of more than 570,000 square kilometers, accounting for about 1/3 of the entire area of Xinjiang. The Tianshan Mountains in China roughly divide Xinjiang into two parts: the Tarim Basin in the south and the Junggar Basin in the north, together with the Karakorum Mountains and the Altai Mountains, the unique "three mountains and two basins" terrain.

It is well known that the Yangtze River and the Yellow River are the mother rivers of the Chinese ethnic groups, so I think that Tianshan Mountain is the "mother mountain" of Xinjiang. She used the melting of alpine glaciers and snow to form hundreds of rivers (it is said that there are 940 rivers), feeding more than 25 million people of more than 50 ethnic groups in the northern and southern Xinjiang.

Some people are looking for traces of the Tianshan School in Jin Yong and Liang Yusheng's martial arts novels......

Day 7 Bayanbulak Town-------Fairy Lake---------Bee Town

valley

Our car went over the hill again

Unobscured

Yamaguchi, riding warrior, praise!

Fairy Lake -------- An undeveloped scenic spot, it is very beautiful, integrating mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes and grass.

But the herdsmen circled their pastures separately and charged 10 yuan per person.

Where silver waves flicker, when a hundred flowers bloom

Dining, Kazakh herdsmen's home, warm and hospitable. The pasta made in this way is like adding slivers?

Bee Town, said to be an Internet celebrity

Waiting for dinner time, outdoor shooting

I ran into a couple from Shanghai who traveled by bicycle from Shanghai. They have been away from home for 20 days and traveled more than 5,000 kilometers. sharp! I admire their courage and perseverance even more...

Day 8: Bee Town——Joerma—————— Kuitun——Karamay Devil City

After the continuous journey, my body is slightly tired, and I am also a little aesthetically tired.

What catches the eye is Baili Gallery and Tangbula Grassland, which is also known as "Little Switzerland in the East Wind". (Still visual fatigue, many beautiful scenery along the way is inevitably numb)

Daban

snow on top of mountain

Eating watermelon here is another strange feeling, right? ?

Cross the Daban Tunnel, which is the snow-proof corridor.

Rest in the parking lot.

Interlude: Being fooled, an old man in plain clothes chops up this large piece of "solid honey" with an axe, and sells it %&**&%#@#￥%&*#)*&……#4&* ()**#%%@, I can’t understand a sentence anyway. When we asked the price, he said: 150 a catty, this sentence in Mandarin is quite standard. . . . . A few people bought it, took a small pawn, and bought some white sugar at a high price. Hehehe

The female warrior, her special way of challenging Tianshan, may be said to be challenging herself. Thumbs up for the female warrior!

sky waterfall

gradually downhill

Traffic jam, no reason

"Guard Tianshan Road" monument, Tianshan Road is the Duku Highway. Mark

Drive out of Tianshan Mountains, gradually enter the flat area, drive about 100 kilometers along the straight Gobi Highway, and arrive at Dushanzi, the starting point of the Duku Highway. There are no more words, just bury the touch in my heart, thank you for your silent dedication and care for everyone over the past few days, get together and say goodbye, we will see you in the future.

According to the commander-in-chief's early planning, we continued to go north.

The city not far away is China's famous oil city, Karamay, which means "black oil" in Uighur. This is the first large oil field explored and developed after the founding of New China.

mark

Devil City, I came a little late, Karamay's senior brother, Old L, was already waiting there, and it was already half past seven when I entered the park.
Scenic sightseeing cars can only get off at a few designated places, and activities are carried out according to the designated areas. The weather is late, and photos are taken in a hurry, and there is no time to savor it.

Unique Yardang landform

Dinosaur fossils, about 100 million years ago during the Cretaceous period. At this point, I finally understand why tourists are not allowed to move freely in the scenic area.

It was already ten o'clock in the evening, and the golden sun on the road was still reluctant to recede.

Under the leadership of old L, stay in Wuerhe

Fresh fruit, delicious food and wine, and the enthusiasm of old friends are indispensable. Old L's enthusiasm, meeting, hospitality, and sending each other off moved us everywhere.

Shaanxi Post, an invisible ribbon binds us together.

Ninth day Wuerhe ------ Burqin --- Baisha Lake ------ Haba River

All the way north, we always thought that there was a lake in the distance in front of us, and the lake glowed from time to time, but it was still the same after driving a hundred kilometers. For this reason, we were even more impressed by the mystery and wonder here.

Come on Burqin.

In the whole Xinjiang, only the driver is allowed to enter the refueling vehicle, and passengers are not allowed to enter the gas station. Street shooting while using the vehicle to refuel.

Burqin City, quiet and beautiful

Going westward through the Haba River, a beautiful river circles the roadside from time to time.

The Irtysh River, originating from the Altai Mountains, is the only river in China that flows into the Arctic Ocean.

Baisha Lake, a pearl of Altay Qianli Gallery, is located in the northeast of the 185th regiment and borders Kazakhstan.

The puzzle of Baisha Lake, no matter in season, summer, autumn or winter, the water of the lake does not increase or decrease, neither condenses nor turbid. So far, brick experts have no clear answer.

I missed the lotus blooming season, and I didn't catch up with the red and yellow of the golden autumn season, but I have no regrets.

After our regiment leader, the commander-in-chief left, he shouldered the heavy responsibility with iron shoulders and joked humorously. . .

Our head and our regiment all put on gauze hats, why?

According to the plan, on the return journey through the birch forest, free activities for 20 minutes, the leader of the group is wise.

At this moment, is the sun shining down?

Or was it poured down?

Colorful Beach is located in Burqin County, on the first and second terraces on the north bank of the Irtysh River, which is the only one in my country that flows into the Arctic Ocean. It is also the only way to the Kanas Lake scenic spot. One of the "100 Magical Northwest Views".

This kind of landform is called Caiqiu landform, which is easy to understand.

It is adjacent to the rippling Irtysh River, and it reflects the lush green valley scenery on the opposite bank. It can be said that "a river separated by two banks has its own two heavens". The anti-weathering ability of river bank rocks varies, and the outline will be uneven, and the minerals contained in rocks are different, and all kinds of illusions are created.

It is colorful, so it is named "Colorful Beach".

irtysh river

The cute little guy has a lot of desire for performance, haha.

Looting? Capture? candid? , how to say it sounds better,,,

Wind power and new energy can be seen everywhere in Xinjiang.

See you next time, Colorful Beach, Irtysh River

The next destination, Hemu, has a dense traffic flow and is driving in an orderly manner, with no speeding or overtaking.

mark

All roads are beautiful

Hemu Village, belonging to Burqin, is the concentrated living place of Tuva people.

The natural and primitive mountain scenery is unique and beautiful. The Hemu River flows from northeast to southwest, and the primitive villages and prairie are harmoniously and naturally integrated.

The small wooden houses and the herds in groups constitute a unique natural and cultural landscape with forests, grasslands, blue sky and white clouds.

It is suitable for both movement and stillness, regardless of your age or personality, this place is definitely suitable for you.

cute tuva boy

The accommodation is in the small yard in the front row, and you can see the grasslands and hills when you go out.

Undoubtedly captured ----

rare appearance

How can there be any composite solid wood in a pure solid wood room? ? ?
My brother who will accompany me in the rain three times tomorrow morning.

Getting up at 5:30 in the morning is equivalent to three or four o'clock in the mainland, climbing for 40 minutes to the west foot of the village, just to take a few photos of the sunrise.

The weather is changeable, not only did not catch up with the sunrise, but my brother and I were exposed to the rain three times...

Even so, the viewing platform is overcrowded.

Very cooperative tourists who have never met before acted as models, very cooperative.

We don't know why we are drenched in the rain, but we are more excited to welcome the beginning of a new day. The purpose of today's itinerary is Kanas.

Day 10 Hemu---------Kanas

this distance is not too far

Over the top of the mountain road guard

"Kanas" is Mongolian, meaning "beautiful and mysterious lake". Kanas Lake is located in the northern part of Erjin County. It is the deepest moraine barrier lake in China. It is an alpine lake and inland freshwater lake located in the dense forest of Altai mountains.

boat tour

dreamlike

Regarding the water monster, I won't believe it unless I see it with my own eyes. Many scenic spots (Chang xx Tianchi, A xx Tianchi and Tianx Tianchi, Sai xx Lake...) all mention water monsters. In fact, several scenic spots that mention water monsters are very beautiful, and it is necessary to come up with the illusory thing of water monsters To arouse the curiosity of tourists? ? (Purely personal opinion, please do not shoot bricks)

Day 11 Kanas --------- Burqin ------------ Beitun

The beauty of Kanas, if described with words such as "a fairyland on earth, graceful..." is simply pale and vulgar. At this moment, please forgive me for my lack of words.

quote a poem

A thatched hut in the deep mountains, half of the white clouds and half of the monks, the white clouds sometimes go in the rain, but when they look back, they envy the old monks. ----Zheng Banqiao

In the arms of the green and towering mountains, the aura of heaven and earth seems to be completely condensed in the green slope and black forest.

The beauty of Kanas seems to be beyond the human world

Kanas is an inescapable place. It is embraced by the green and towering mountains, and the aura of heaven and earth seems to be completely condensed in the green slopes and black forests on both sides of the bank. Serene and soft, even the silence is breathtaking.

Kanas, we are melted by you......

Beautiful, beautiful until intoxicated, until aesthetically numb, always at a loss for shooting

It is a pity that the whole journey is by car, and you cannot drive through the beautiful scenery by yourself. It is conceivable that if you drive by yourself, without the constraints of time, what kind of comfort and boldness will it be if you travel through the clouds, mountains, clear waters, blue sky and green valleys? ? ? ? ? ? ?

If you want to feel empty, come to Kanas. It's not an advertisement for the scenic spot, it's a personal opinion.

Then to Burqin, Burqin Airport in the distance.

In terms of provinces, Xinjiang has more than 20 airports, covering three mountains and two basins, ranking first in the country.

Burqin County

The county is named after the Burqin River. "Burqin", Mongolian. In Mongolian, a three-year-old male camel is called "Boer", and "Jin" means a herder. The local Kazakh language also calls this place "Kuigan" (meaning confluence), where the Imburqin River flows into the Irtysh River.

street photography

A little temptation, just out of the pot

Go straight to Beitun

mark car shoot

Beitun

Entering the urban area, the city is small, but it feels like a big city, and the urban planning is very good.

After registering for accommodation, head straight to the park on the hillside

Beitun, another representative of a military-reclamation city

Beitun is located at the southern foot of the Altai Mountains, the northern part of the Junggar Basin, the south bank of the Irtysh River, bordering Kazakhstan to the west, Russia to the north, and Mongolia to the east. It was founded in 1958 and is the headquarters of the Tenth Division of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps. , managed by the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps.

Shaanxi Post masters and juniors, reunited in 30 years

Beitun Night

Street lights, very distinctive, silk, the Silk Road?

Day 12 Beitun---------Urumqi

On the return trip, after traveling thousands of miles across the Gobi, it was too late to go to the Tianchi Lake in the Tianshan Mountains, so we went straight to Urumqi.

Urumqi, take advantage of the tense time and make a small turn.

Naan Culture Industrial Park

Walking around the Grand Bazaar

Brother W from Dianliu Kashgar already felt that Urumqi was waiting for us from 1,500 kilometers away, and it was too late for a long visit. . . Reminiscing about the old days, W's enthusiasm, cheerfulness and humor changed the style of reticence in the past. The next day, W sent us to the airport and station in batches... The ubiquitous Shaanxi Post alumni friendship... .......
