This trip originated from a friend’s post ~ Xinghua... In my personal impression, only almonds, mincemeat, preserved apricots and other surrounding areas can be good. The Xinjiang Tianchao covers an area of the largest province, which is equivalent to 280 magic capitals. The provincial capital Urumqi and The 2H time difference of the imperial capital is still based on Beijing time
My initial impression of Xinjiang is from folk dances and cantaloupe when I was a child; my graduation thesis when I was a student; a sweet journey just one step away
My childhood dream was to collect costumes of 56 ethnic groups in China and take pictures
I am glad that I am still practicing the courage and perseverance to measure the earth with my feet. I am grateful to my family for their support.
Thanks to the partners I have met through travel in recent years
In the past few years, I was very careful in making strategy and booking itineraries. In recent years, it has been downplayed to air tickets, hotels, and car rentals.
Wherever the feet of the Buddha step on the watermelon rind slide, it is self-willed
From a professional point of view, travel notes are divided into food, housing, travel, travel, shopping, and entertainment
Outline the various firsts of the trip:
1. First experience of self-driving in the west (with a small partner driving), destination chartered private niche travel (chartered for 4 people) thanks to Ms. Huang for her arrangement and driving
2. Cooking (thanks to my partners for their tolerance, all the dark dishes are on the CD) is limited, mainly because my eating habits are too light, which is different from ordinary people
3. Experience the flag-raising ceremony of the minority assembly & morning exercise (square dance) The opening ceremony is the visual sense
4. The most stringent airport security check in personal experience
5. There is no ticket expense for scenic spots except Xinghuagou (thanks to the driver, Master Liu, for taking us to eat and have fun)
6. Witness the whole process of slaughtering sheep, skinning sheep, and making mutton skewers on site
7. Apply for a border defense certificate
Depart from Shanghai in the afternoon of 3/29 and arrive at the hotel near Urumqisu Airport in the early morning of the 30th. There is a pick-up and drop-off
There is a security gate outside the hotel, the security guard, the room is clean and heated (dry) The corridor is filled with the smell of disinfectant, there is a 24H supermarket next to it, and the fruit stand is still open in the early morning, NICE and my roommate sister buy food and wash up before taking a rest and rushing to the next day The second day the handjob went to Kashgar to rendezvous
On the next day, T1 Tianjin Airlines did not have free meals. It was more humane than 9C. Drinking water was distributed, and the hand sanitizer was discarded during the security check because it contained alcohol (haven't used it yet).
Earlier I heard that Xinjiang has strict security checks, coats, shoes, belts...
I have already prepared soft fat paper, and the clothes are simple, comfortable and stress-free
Uh... the scarf around my neck was asked to be untied by the security inspector. My friend was waiting for another flight on T2 alone.
The Uighur aunt couldn't speak the language, so I took my boarding pass and gestured to confirm that I was flying to Kashgar and I didn't go to the wrong boarding gate.
Respond with a friendly smile. Passionate and unrestrained nation. Regardless of age, ladies must have exquisite makeup and bright clothes when they go out.
After the good times, the original seat was occupied, and the auntie enthusiastically took the place where the luggage was placed beside her and greeted me, and walked to other vacant seats with a friendly smile
The advantage of an early flight is that there is no delay and everyone arrives early
There is only one luggage belt at Kashgar Airport, and there are cameras at several airports where luggage can be claimed.
Not long after picking up the luggage, my partner also arrived. Master Liu picked us up in a chartered car and went to the downtown hotel
Pick up another 2 small partners to officially start the trip to Kashgar
Tulips of different colors bloom on both sides of the Yingbin Avenue when leaving the airport, purple is rare
3/30 The first meal in Kashgar has small wontons, satisfying the stomach
Kashgar City to Fushu County, G314 speed limit 60KM, I deeply feel that my colleagues have given enough advice
Entering and exiting counties and cities, check ID cards and border defense certificates. The weather is not good today, cloudy and dusty. The driver introduces the plants and attractions along the way in detail.
The casual nature of self-driving, stop while walking, pass by places with good scenery and stop to take pictures. The first stop is Oytak Geopark
Purchasing water, food, and fruits along the way did not see the main peak of Muztagh due to the weather, and arrived in Taxkorgan County in the evening after lunch on the car
After dinner at the Sichuan restaurant, go to the hotel to rest. The hotel at an altitude of 3000 is slightly dizzy after washing your head. You can fall asleep in a heated room
Did not sleep well the first night, woke up twice during the night, prepared effervescent tablets, water, drinks
It snowed at night, and the next day you could see the snow mountain outside the curtains. Blue sky. After breakfast, I took pictures while walking.
3/31
The night snow brings beautiful scenery to the next day. There is a "rime" scene by the lake. Similar scenes in Changbai Mountain in 2012
The first stop Turkmen Ruins Zoroastrianism (Mingjiao)
Today's itinerary ...Tashkurgan County - Tal (Tal belongs to the Kashgar area of Akto County and has nothing to do with the Tacheng area)
Panshan crossed the pass (Daban) all the way and took pictures while arriving at the "Happiness No. 5 Bridge" in the afternoon and stayed at the local Tajik farmhouse
All the way to protect the ethnic minorities, their looks and eyes have their own characteristics, such as Persian cats, foreign lands, local Han people are foreign races
Thinking carefully, most of the places where the Han people live are lush with water and grass, and the environment is beautiful, while most of the ethnic minorities live in difficult conditions and survive on the frontier.
The dissemination of cultural ideas, the inherent tenacity in the flesh and blood
Apart from the police, only village cadres or schoolchildren who can speak Chinese in the local area communicate mostly through body language, and the locals are simple and enthusiastic
Sunrise from 9 to 10, sunset at 21:00 Still getting used to it. After lunch, I made tea and had a rest in the restaurant. The life of the locals for nearly a month is also simple.
Receiving tourists Raising chickens In addition to houses in the village, pastoral areas also have residences
It’s the first time I’m cooking for dinner. The companions are very supportive and they all finished the meal. The taste is a problem.
Watching locals slaughter and skin sheep while waiting for meals is basically the same as the documentary
The hostess of the farmhouse who stayed at night was very enthusiastic to bring hot water, and used dried corn to heat the room. Although I live by water, the water quality is alkaline. Dry toilet
The floor of the room is muddy and old house. I read the local poverty alleviation materials in my spare time.
4/1
Woke up from a nightmare at 6 o’clock. 23.30-6. The sleep during the trip was not bad. The ten-pound cotton quilt was not kicked.
Get up early and the hostess brings you hot milk tea, naan, and almonds. There are steep mountain walls on both sides of the village along the river.
Flag-raising ceremony in the village at 10 o'clock Seconds back to the opening ceremony Square dance time after speeches by leaders and representatives at all levels Tambourine + eagle flute
Eagle Dance Tajik characteristic dance imitates the dance of an eagle
Today's itinerary is Tar - Datong
Datong is famous for its apricot blossoms. It has developed better than Taer. It is in the stage of large-scale construction. The ID card is confiscated at the checkpoint.
There is no scene worth staying. Follow Master Liu to pick up stones on the river beach. The pebbles on the river beach are round and have no edges and corners, washed away by the river water
There are many colors, some are dark purple, the little LU is a little obsessed, and I picked up a big one. After having fun, I am going to return to Taal for the night.
Tonight’s room at No. 99 is better than yesterday’s. Dinner is in the yurt. Big plate chicken
A few locals were chatting under the window at night, really scared
4/2
tar-kuslav-tashkorgan
After dinner with yak hot pot, go to the pond to wait for the sunset. The Golden Grass Beach is surrounded by people. Local herdsmen demonstrate in person
I went in and took a few good pictures of the scenery, slipped back, missed the working hours of the post office, and hurriedly dropped the postcard into the mailbox, hoping to receive it smoothly
Difficult to sleep at night, sit up and replenish water, mask, lip balm, toss and turn, barely fall asleep
4/3
After taking pictures of the sunrise and morning light, we set off for Kashgar after breakfast. After sweeping away the haze when we arrived, the sun shone all the way. The yellowed meadow, Mufeng, the border port, walked around Baisha Lake and took pictures. Arrived in Kashgar in the afternoon and visited the old city for dinner.
It's time for school to end, doll-like students come out in a file, alfalfa ravioli is good, haggis, smoked fish, yogurt, baked buns, special snacks
The driver sent us to Kashgar Airport. The chartered section of the northern Xinjiang tour has come to an end.
The security check at Kashgar Airport is even worse than that in Urumqi. Sabers cannot be checked in and discarded. Let me "cry" for a while here
Although it was exchanged for credit card points, I have been to many places with me anyway, so I stayed in Kashgar
Kashgar-Yining Urumqi transfer due to time constraints, the ground staff lady got off the plane and picked up the person and luggage directly
It is the first time to experience direct boarding without security check and start the second journey
Arrive in Yining at night, start the self-driving journey, no one picks up the plane, walk to the hotel, a little confused for 2 minutes
After hesitating for a moment, I dragged my luggage and walked to the hotel. The price is not expensive, and the environment is not bad. I can take a good shower and sleep well.
Encountering bug bites and itching... At first I thought I was allergic, but my friends gradually discovered that there may be some problems with the accommodation in Thal
The ointment is well prepared
4/4
After picking up the car, start the self-driving tour. Thank you for driving and navigating. The "happy pig" in the back row is very happy. Just book a hotel
The first stop in Yining Local market, breakfast, shopping, relax feet into old Beijing single cloth shoes
Fruits, beverages, specialty products. Seat belts in the rear seat are stuck. When passing through high-speed security checks, they are stopped by police and want to be fined.
After repeated explanations, let it go. Arrived in Xinyuan Town in the afternoon. After a roadside meal, go to Xinghuagou. This trip is the only attraction to buy tickets.
It’s worth the money. I was too lazy to sit on the flower umbrella, which caused the umbrella handle to be unable to be fully retracted. I took a photo tour and took some photos of tourists.
After sunset, return to Xinyuan Town for accommodation. Dinner FB: shredded sweet potato, okra, lamb tripe, reed chicken
4/5
After breakfast, go to the Guozigou Bridge and Sailimu Lake. After some twists and turns due to the fence navigation of the scenic spot, I finally got my wish and arrived at the viewing point at the best time before sunset. Pretending to be in Northern Europe, all facilities are under construction and the seasonality is strong. I hope not to damage them too much. too much
Stay in Qingshuihe Town tonight, purchase breakfast for the next day after dinner, and return to the hotel to rest
The door that cannot be opened, the equipment port that is not sealed, the episode of the journey
4/6
Qingshuihe Town set off for Daxigou Fushou Mountain. The weather was gloomy and the local marathon was held. The road was closed for a while. A few days ago, we decided to return to Yining directly to visit the ethnic settlements of Kazanqi. Patting the little freshness of the humanities, sending away the little JJ who returned early
Arrive at the railway station before sunset. The appearance of Yining Station is very ethnic, and it looks like a tent city in Mecca.
The night train arrives in Urumqi, leaves the station at 6.20, and the luggage storage opens at 7:00
4/7
Urumqi on a cloudy day, howling in the cold wind, I saved my luggage, the first bus is still 1 hour away, the cat in the basement will doze off
The Grand Bazaar opens at 10 o'clock. Yiwu Small Commodity Market Minority Edition. The appearance of the building is acceptable. I have no desire to shop. I wrote a postcard.
Take a taxi to the Xinjiang Museum. Loulan Female Corpse and Qiemo Mummy Corpse Although not comparable to developed provinces and cities, they also have ethnic characteristics
In the afternoon, take the bus to the airport and return to Shanghai to complete the whole journey
There are many first attempts/experiences on this trip. From the perspective of scenery, personal travel needs, and cost performance, Xinjiang is a good destination.
Safe. Compared with overseas countries, the traffic accessibility is higher. After going to Xinjiang, the footprints of the Celestial Dynasty are quite "full".
Travel is a dose of poison, addiction is already deep, I have fallen into the abyss
The passage of time lives up to youth
Shura field, everyone cultivates his own body, comprehends and relieves
