In "Journey to the West", one of my country's four great classics, Kaidu River also has a popular name - Tongtian River. It is said that the "Shanjing Island" where Tang monks learned scriptures is located in Hejing County, full of mystery. The Kaidu River meandering on the grassland is also known as "nine bends and eighteen bends".
The Tongtian River with nine bends and eighteen bends, the entire Kaidu River has a total length of 516 kilometers and 1,142 bends. It can be said that the water flows eastward with twists and turns, and it should be regarded as a typical "snake bend".
There are 13 springs, 7 lakes, and 20 rivers in Bayinbulak Grassland.
There is also a 3-kilometer boardwalk from the visitor center with nine bends and eighteen bends to the Brazilian Rick Mountain viewing platform on the mountainside.
To go to the viewing platform, you can choose to hike on the wooden plank road, take the battery car provided by the scenic spot at 20 yuan per person, and ride up the mountain in several ways. We only have battery cars for group tours.
Standing on the high hill beside the Kaidu River and looking into the distance, the Kaidu River turns thousands of times, like a dream. It is like a jade belt tens of meters wide, winding and shuttling on the vast grassland, leading to At the end of the sky, its curvature is magnificent and the concentration of curves is very rare.
What's even more amazing is: it is said that every year on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, when the sun sets, people can even see 9 suns in the river at the same time! The world-famous nine bends and eighteen bends of the Kaidu River bypass Basilik Mountain from the south, flow all the way to the southeast, and finally flow into Bosten Lake hundreds of kilometers away. We arrived in the afternoon and left before dusk, so we must have missed seeing it,
Where there is water, there is life, not to mention Bayanbulak, the source of so many rivers, where not only thatch, sedge, wormwood, and pine grass are widely distributed, but also large tracts of fat butter grass. The high-quality grass is quietly raising the famous Yanqi horses, big-tailed sheep and yaks on the grassland.
Elegant rivers, vast grasslands, handsome snow peaks, and white clouds flowing in the blue sky are like a fairyland. This is the beautiful Bayinbulak.
Walk along the plank road to the viewing platform and change the scenery step by step. You will be flattered by the surrounding scenery.
The Kaidu River meanders and flows quietly at the foot of Basilik Mountain. A Hexin Island in the river is shaped like a "heart", also known as Tongxin Lake, which deduces a love story.
