written in the preface

Some people say that Xinjiang is a travel destination that must be visited once in a lifetime. Only after going to Xinjiang can one know the vastness of China's land. In November, facing the light snow in early winter, I arrived in Karamay, Xinjiang after a long-distance flight from the southern city. I drove in Karamay, which belongs to the west of the Junggar Basin, for five days and four nights, and "photographed" the beauty of this Gobi city one by one. . Karamay was only established in 1958. In the eyes of most people, it is famous for its "oil", but in the eyes of some travel photography enthusiasts, it has a beauty that is not common in the world. Karamay has many different The geographical features and the scenery it presents are also unique. There are deserts and lakes, canyons and forests here. Only when you have a deep understanding of it can you find that the beauty of great contrasts and the beauty of commonness are perfectly integrated here. Many wonders that seem to be incompatible are actually gathered in the In this tiny desert. The uncanny workmanship of nature is fully displayed here. Strolling in the 10,000-mu forest farm, watching the three-thousand-year-old Populus euphratica forest "turned white", driving on the Duku Highway, and staring at the billion-year-old wonders of the Grand Canyon. Swim in the Bingfeng Snow Field and feel the speed and passion on the snow mountain on the skis. Regarding Karamay, the scenery here must be seen in advance, before it is still sleeping and has not been known by the world. In this way, what you see is the most natural and original secret place.

day1: Ji's Tribal Film and Television City

As the province with the largest land area in my country, Xinjiang has countless natural and cultural landscapes. People who have never been here yearn for it, and those who have been miss it. How amazing is it that people are so fascinated by it? I have been traveling for many years, and I have never set foot in this city at close range. Most people think that the best time to travel in Xinjiang is in autumn or winter. In fact, it is not the case. Xinjiang in winter has a special flavor. Xinjiang in winter has lost the hustle and bustle of the past, and has returned to the most primitive and natural state. From November to April every year, Baixue sleeps here, and there are fairytale-like beauty in the cold and long days. The scenery you can see They all come from thousands of years, and only in this shivering cold season can we see its purest and most stunning scenery.

The scenery you can see They all come from thousands of years, and only in this shivering cold season can we see its purest and most stunning scenery.

Fly from Shenzhen to Karamay, put your luggage in the hotel, and head to the first stop of the trip - Jishi Tribe Film and Television City. The vast desert is covered with snow, and the white silence reveals a bitter and magnificent atmosphere. Presumably many people are watching TV dramas Every now and then, I would always be curious about a question, are the scenes in the play real? If it exists, where in the world is this beauty located? Ji's Tribal Film and Television City is a place with such beautiful scenery. Driving to the film and television city, the Gobi Desert is covered with snow. There are large expanses of white, and the whole world is like a thick layer of cotton quilt. The sky and the The earth is very close to the Buddha here, and there are no tourists in a radius of tens of miles.

Ji's Tribe Film and Television City is located in the east of Erik Road, Karamay City. If you happen to have watched "Reckless Desolation" starring Hawick Lau and Wang Ou, then step into the ice and snow world of Xinjiang and step into the Ji's Tribe Film and Television in the arms of Karamay City, so I returned to the original filming location of this drama. The mirror image in the drama ranges from prehistoric to ancient times, showing the vastness and atmosphere of the Northwest Gobi Desert in winter. In addition to "Reckless Desolation", "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" directed by Ang Lee has also been filmed here, "No Man's Land", "The Story of Shepherding Clouds on the Sea", "Seven Swords Under Tianshan", "The Great Qin Empire" The main scenes of classic movies such as Ji's Tribe Film and Television City also come from. Why is this film and television film and television favored by major gold medal directors? In the final analysis, it is because of the changeable topography and landforms here that Karamay Uerhe has obvious advantages. It gathers a series of resources such as mountains, lakes, Gobi, deserts, Populus euphratica within a radius of 50 kilometers. It is simply a paradise for photographers. It's a wonderful visual experience.

The entire film and television city is in the ancient style of the Great Qin Dynasty, covering an area of ​​nearly 8,000 square meters. The film and television city uses the original strange, majestic and undefeated scene of the Gobi Desert to highlight its sense of desolation and primitiveness. Many antique buildings have been restored in the film and television city. If you are a photography enthusiast, you may wish to bring ancient costumes to take pictures here, or you can carefully search for familiar scenes and deeply restore the film and television theater. The scene, pretending to be the "protagonist" in the play, is extremely interactive and interesting.

Stopping in front of the gate of the film and television city, the first thing you see is the two mammoths guarding the gate of the ancient city. The dark elephant body and the retro wall are in sharp contrast with the surrounding white snow. The ancient atmosphere of the primitive tribe has long disappeared before entering the gate. Please come. After entering the gate, it seems to have entered another era. The eye-catching Yardang landform makes people marvel at the magical and unique terrain in the northwest. The strong and independent thatched pavilions and sentry towers ignite the vitality of this desert. What is the wildness and uniqueness of primitive people? How about arrogance? Probably only by being there, can one understand the wildness of the Gobi that you have seen and heard "only because you are in this mountain".

Some people say: Ji's Film and Television City is the Xinjiang version of "Hengdian Film and Television City". Only when you go deep into this place and appreciate it can you find that the real scenery is actually much more beautiful than the one in the movie. In the vast desert, snowflakes are falling everywhere. , what can be seen is snow, but what is invisible is the ancient charm of history that can be experienced in the heart. Who can explain the mysterious legend here? Maybe you're the one who understands it. day1: Gourmet hotel recommendation

There are countless delicacies in Xinjiang. The first stop of this trip to Karamay was to go to the newly opened North Courtyard to taste exotic delicacies. This restaurant focuses on improved Xinjiang delicacies. Some dishes also combine the essence of Sichuan and Cantonese cuisine, which is very suitable for Friends who come from all over the world! A few dishes are highly recommended. Roasted leg of lamb with crispy skin: Cut the crispy skin on the surface, and when you open it, the steam carries the fragrance of lamb, and the crispy naan is wrapped with tender and juicy lamb leg! Just one sip can leave a mouthful of fragrance. Yanji chili fried meat with desert steamed buns: chili fried meat is common, but desert steamed buns are rare. The local desert steamed buns taste crispy and crispy. With spicy beef, it is quite a Xinjiang version of "roujiamo". a feeling of. The per capita price of this restaurant is about 100-200 yuan, which is still worth a visit. As the saying goes, if you don't go to Xinjiang, you don't eat Beiyuanzi, and you don't know the delicious food of the Western Regions.

Hotel recommendation: Stay at the Tianqi Mercure Hotel in downtown Karamay, which is a brand owned by Accor, and the hotel is very elegant and atmospheric. It is a great experience to spend some relaxing time here. Tianqi Mercure Hotel has a variety of high-end suites built according to the five-star standard. The design of several rooms is not easy, and there are many choices. It can be said that this hotel can meet the different accommodation requirements of everyone. Free Wi-Fi, coffee and tea, and parking spaces are also provided. It is very convenient for self-driving tours. The room price is about 200-1000 yuan! day2: Karamay Geological and Mining Museum When you come to the beautiful Karamay, Xinjiang, the first thing many people will want to see is the Populus euphratica forest with tenacious vitality. The Populus euphratica forest growing in the arid desert is known as the miracle of the earth. However, not only Populus euphratica forest, people in Karamay also have extremely tenacious perseverance, just like Populus euphratica forest, after a long period of mining and excavation in the Gobi desert where there is no grass growing, and the sky is full of wind and sand, finally in Heiyou Mountain, the first in New China was discovered. big oil fields. The emergence of large oil fields has turned Karamay, a deserted Gobi desert, into a home for people of all ethnic groups. The spirit of Karamay is also born from this. If you want to know Karamay better, you must go to the Karamay Geological Museum to have a look!

The exhibition hall is the soul of the city, the first business card of the city, and the cultural charm of the city. What it shows is not just a memory or a symbol, but records the most authentic life of the city. The Karamay Geological and Mining Museum is like a time shuttle, presenting the history of the city of Karamay for decades in a three-dimensional and comprehensive way. Karamay is a well-known oil city in the northwest of the motherland. "Karamay" is the transliteration of "black oil" in Uighur. The city was built because of oil. The Karamay Exhibition Hall fully shows the history of the Karamay people's hard work in exploiting oil fields. What oil means to this city.

The exhibition hall covers an area of ​​67,000 square meters. There are two halls in the hall-the preface hall and the hero model hall. "Oil Seizure Battle Hall", "Reform Soaring Hall" in the 1980s. A total of more than 300 historical photos, more than 30 various charts, more than 130 real objects, more than 230 samples, several historical record films, and 4 groups of large-scale exhibitions were exhibited. Through text, pictures, objects, models, etc., it shows the development history of Karamay Oilfield, and records the great contributions and achievements made by oil workers of all ethnic groups to the development and construction of Karamay. With the development of modern technology, some physical and video exhibition areas have been added here, making the history of Karamay vivid, and we can also have a deeper understanding of the appearance at that time and experience the real spirit of Karamay.

In the hall of paleontology, there is a relief wall depicting the historical context of Karamay. Every important time node will be explained. After viewing the entire relief wall, it is enough to have a general understanding of the history of Karamay. There are many models, videos and real objects in the exhibition hall. In each small exhibition hall, there are also detailed introductions about Xinjiang's mountains, rivers, terrain and oil products. The exhibition hall also used obsolete refining and chemical equipment to simulate and experience the oil extraction and refining process; it used multiple means such as sound, light, and electricity to develop static cultural relics and specimen displays into interesting experiences.

Walking into the indoor exhibition hall of the Karamay Exhibition Hall, there will be a special lecturer explaining the hard struggle of the Karamay oil workers. In the cold winter, the oil workers who are not afraid of the severe cold never stop mining. Even though their clothes and hats are clumped together and their hands and feet are numb and unable to move, in order to live up to the expectations of the motherland, the blood in their hearts is enough to resist the cold outside. It is the iceman spirit of Karamay's hard work.

In the exhibition hall, you can clearly see the clothes, shoes, tools, etc. of the oil producers at that time. hardships. There is a small cellar outside the exhibition, which restores the living environment of the 18 oil producers at that time, and inside are the objects used by the workers at that time. Rows of simple beds, without any heating tools, the oilfield workers can only warm each other in such a small place, not afraid of the severe cold, and dedicate everything to the construction of the motherland. Inside and outside the Mining History Museum, there are many physical facilities for oilfield exploitation, so that visitors can truly experience the process of oil development.

The Karamay Exhibition Hall records the stories of the Karamay oil producers, and records the hard-won efforts at that time. These days of hard work are worth remembering by each of us. If you have also heard the story of the Karamay oil field, then you must come to the Karamay Exhibition Hall to have a look. All the stories here are far more real and exciting than the stories you have heard! day2: Heiyoushan Dayoupao mentioned Xinjiang, which is known as the "hometown of singing and dancing". In addition to Xinjiang dance, which is famous for its graceful dance posture and unique ethnic minority costumes, only Xinjiang food comes to mind. . Such as large plate chicken, roasted whole lamb, cantaloupe, raisins, etc., can make people's mouth water three thousand feet. But under the appearance of Xinjiang's "foodie capital", there is another mysterious "black" treasure hidden, that is the Heiyou Mountain in Karamay City.

Heiyou Mountain is located in the northeast of Karamay City, more than two kilometers away from the city center. It is the place where important oil seedlings outcrop in the oil field. Crude oil overflows all the year round to form a group of asphalt mounds. The largest one is 13 meters high and covers an area of ​​0.2 square kilometers. The oil quality is precious low-condensation oil. "Karamay" means "black oil" in Uighur, so this natural oil asphalt hill is named Black Oil Mountain. It is said that this black asphalt mountain and its buried oil have been sleeping here for hundreds of years. Moreover, Heiyou Mountain is still alive with vitality, and new "springs" are found here every year. It can be said that it is precisely because of the oil field of Heiyou Mountain that Karamay has gradually changed from a deserted Gobi Desert to a modern city with high-rise buildings everywhere.

Crossing the Gobi and passing the Baili Oilfield, the naked eye can see the earthy color of the earth, and thousands of oil extraction machines are working non-stop, which is magnificent. The oil field, the derrick of the oil control unit, and the oil pipeline form an incomparably beautiful scene in Karamay. As you approach the gate of the scenic spot, you can feel a strong industrial atmosphere. You can still see several abandoned oil extraction machines around, as if telling people about the glorious history here. The round oil spills are still gurgling outwards, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds in the sky, which has a special flavor. It is said that when the temperature is high in summer, the fluidity of crude oil is high, and the crude oil in the spill outlet is tumbling out of the ground, and the continuously overflowing crude oil flows outward, forming black oil streams on the ground and flowing into the distance.

Seeing this, someone will definitely ask: Isn’t it just oil? What catches your eyes? Besides, why don't you go to Daqing Oilfield to see the oil, instead of traveling all the way to Xinjiang? If you think so, you are very wrong. The first is its formation environment. Due to the crustal changes, the underground oil is affected by the formation pressure, and the underground oil continuously seeps to the surface along the rock fissures. The light part of the oil volatilizes, and the remaining thick liquid is condensed with sand and piled up. Its oil quality is precious low-condensation oil. The second is to look at its historical significance. Here, new China first discovered oil deposits. It is very different from Daqing Oilfield. The oil here is not discovered by drilling, but flows on the surface. This is a gift from nature to New China. We want our motherland to be self-reliant, strive to get rid of the shackles of the outside world, and rely on our own strength to achieve success step by step. After understanding the history of China, let’s take a look at the Black Oil Mountain in Karamay. Seeing the oil pool still bubbling and bubbling, and the most authentic crude oil flowing out, I have to sigh how rich the resources are and how amazing nature is. !

Now Heiyou Mountain has lost its mining value and has completely become a tourist attraction. The whole scenic spot is not big, and it takes less than half an hour to walk around. When you enter the scenic spot, you can see a stone monument with three big characters "Black Oil Mountain" and a statue of an old Uyghur riding a donkey and playing Rewapu. It was established here on October 1, 1982 by the Xinjiang Petroleum Administration Bureau in order to carry forward the spirit of hard work and entrepreneurship. It is a memorial site and tourist attraction for people of all ethnic groups to carry out revolutionary traditional education. Here you can see all kinds of black oil fields and lament the hard work of the ancestors.

There is also a story about this old man: According to legend, many years ago, an old Uyghur man accidentally discovered that black water emerging from a small hillside could be taken back to light a lamp. So he rode a donkey and carried a gourd to beat "black oil" every day. Once it was passed on to ten, ten to a hundred, people around heard the news and came to cheer for it, so this place was called "Black Oil Mountain". The Heiyou Mountain in winter has a beautiful artistic conception. It is surrounded by a world of white ice and snow, only dotted with black springs. It has a natural purity that is not found in the noisy cities. It also adds a strong color to my country's oil industry.

Come to Karamay, come to this city named after oil, to explore the original appearance of oil, to have a complete zero-distance contact with crude oil, and to add a "black gold" color to your life journey. day2: Zisha Cultural and Creative Park If you want to find real purple sand in Xinjiang, then you must go to Karamay. There are not only rich oil field resources, but also the most authentic purple sand raw ore. In order to make better use of precious purple sand resources , Karamay invited professional mud-making masters, after generations of craftsmen to create, left a lot of exquisite purple sand handicrafts, and these purple sand handicrafts are well preserved in the Karamay Purple Sand Cultural and Creative Park, so come here to travel , You must go to the Zisha Cultural and Creative Park here to experience the charm of Zisha.

Walking into the Karamay Zisha Cultural and Creative Garden, you can see a wealth of purple sand crafts everywhere. The most familiar one is the purple clay pot. The purple clay pots in the museum are exquisite in appearance, and the arrangement of various purple clay pots is very spectacular. More importantly, each purple clay teapot is very unique. They are all made of authentic purple sand clay, with pure color and exquisite patterns on them, which are of high ornamental value. Karamay's purple sand teapot is not only beautiful, but also a leader in the industry in terms of practicality. The purple sand products here will also release trace minerals such as iron, calcium, and sodium needed by the human body when they are stewed at high temperature, which will be absorbed by the human body through tea to play a health care role. And the most important thing is that there will be no rust in the kettle, and no scale will be left, so it is clean and hygienic.

In addition to traditional purple sand tea sets, there are also a lot of raw purple sand ores displayed here. These ores look similar to ordinary ores. It is hard to imagine how mud makers made them into exquisite purple sand crafts. There are also many modern sculptures in the Zisha Cultural and Creative Garden, which are also made of purple sand, with unique shapes and full of modern flavor. The uniqueness of Karamay’s purple sand lies in the fact that the carpenter’s mud makers combined Karamay’s unique golden silk jade with purple sand to produce a unique purple sand gold silk mud, and the handicrafts made with it have unique colors. , full of luster, more exquisite than ordinary purple clay ware.

Among them, the most worthy of appreciation is the "Desert Beauty". The desert beauty is sandy yellow in color and exquisite in shape. It is made of purple sand raw material segment mud. It is 45 cm long, 32 cm wide and 40 cm high. It is the largest work in the Zisha Museum. , is also one of the most representative works. The whole statue is natural, perfectly presenting Karamay's environment, economy, humanities, history and reality through purple sand crafts, carrying the past glory and present happiness of Karamay people, and entrusting Karamay's imagination of a bright future for the purple sand industry.

Why is the value of the purple sand in Karamay so high? In fact, as early as 2013, the original purple sand mine was accidentally discovered during the urban construction of Karamay. The main mineral component of Karamay purple sand clay is kaolin, which is rich in 18 kinds of trace elements beneficial to the human body, such as iron, zinc, and selenium. It is an excellent raw ore for making purple sand products. The purple sand here was formed in the Jurassic era 200 million years ago. At that time, technicians calculated that the Karamay purple sand mine mined was buried 30 to 50 meters below the rock layer, and could be developed continuously for 100 to 200 years.

Not only can you see so many purple sand crafts in the Karamay Zisha Cultural and Creative Garden, if you are interested, you can also go to the experience hall to experience the production process of purple sand crafts. The production of purple sand products is not simple, and every step needs to be taken seriously. There are several artisans who make purple sand crafts in the experience hall. However, bringing countless purple sand products to our eyes, this kind of craftsman spirit is also a kind of purple sand culture, which is worth learning. You can also buy all kinds of high-quality and cheap purple sand products in the Zisha Museum. You may wish to buy some as souvenirs after enjoying them. day2: Food and accommodation recommendation

Food recommendation: Awudan’s Roasted Lamb: This restaurant is the number one restaurant in Wuerhe District. The business is very good and the dining environment is also good. The per capita price is around 50-100 yuan. You can enjoy eating meat here Feel free to strongly recommend a few dishes.

The lean meat is firm and elastic, suitable for fat and thin. The meat is tender and juicy. Each piece is very large.

Hotel recommendation: There are many homestays in Wuerhe, the price is about 100-300 yuan, which is more cost-effective than staying in a hotel. Our one-bedroom, one-living room is a single building, clean and tidy, recommended for family travel! day3: Urho Devil City trip to Karamay, Xinjiang, if you want to ask me which scenic spot is a must-see, then I will strongly recommend you to go to Urho Devil City. There are many places called Devil City in the world, but only Only Wuerhe Devil City is qualified to be called "World Devil City". places" one. The Devil City was originally called Wuerhe Fengcheng. Before you know it, you will be shocked when you hear the name. Who made the landform and environment too special! Coupled with the exaggeration of mysterious legends, it has to make people fear three points.

Uerhe Devil City is called "Sulumuhak" by the Mongolians, and "Shaytankersi" by the Kazakhs. Both of these names mean "ghost mountain" in Chinese translation, and many people say that it is "The place where the devil comes in and out", it is reported that such a name comes from an ancient legend. The devil city was a castle a long time ago. People who lived a happy and prosperous life became greedy, killed everywhere, and turned into beggars. God can't dissuade the crazy people. God thinks that the people at that time are hopeless, so they have to give them a little "lesson". of them. This kind of saying has been spread to this day. The mysterious legend has indeed added a lot of mystery to the Devil City, but the legend can only be heard as a story. After all, the roar in reality is mainly formed by the wind passing through the mound. of.

Devil City is mainly Yadan landform, which is a typical wind-eroded landform. It dates back to more than 100 million years ago. At that time, Devil City was a freshwater lake, clean like a gentle woman. Due to the extreme drought in the formerly gentle Devil City, under the action of wind, sand and intermittent flowing water, the soil-like sediments of rivers and lakes have formed the current erosion landform full of broken ridges and grooves. Since then, vegetation has been severely lacking. The tall hills and mounds have been weathered and eroded, and various grotesque wind-eroded mounds have also been formed. This topography has been extended to this day. Walking on the hot land of Devil City, you can feel the vicissitudes of nature and the changes of the times.

Every summer, you can see the "shape" of the devil here. The mounds standing in the Gobi desert are lifelike and vivid after being eroded by wind. If you are a person with rich imagination, you may find statues of everything in the world here. Various yellow, red, black and other colorful mounds transform into various shapes, some are like the scenery of Guilin, some are like loving couples looking at each other, and some are like magnificent and orderly palaces. Every form you can imagine is clearly visible here. Standing on the viewing platform, the scenery in front of you is full of imagination, and it is very impactful to take a photo casually.

Devil City is windy every day. Because it is located in the wind outlet, the wind and sand are very strong, and there are often shrill calls, which are creepy. Even such a beautiful season as winter is often accompanied by the sound of a bleak cold wind. On weekdays, the wind is 4~5, and the wind is even more fierce at night, and the roar often runs through the whole night. So every night, these tall mounds stand upright in the dark night. When the wind passes through, the friction between the air and the mounds will leave a terrifying roar. If people who don't know the truth see it, they will probably be shocked. All kinds of strange phenomena gather here, and it is indeed worthy of the name that it is called the World Devil City.

The Devil City in winter is very different from other seasons. It is like a world of ice and snow split from a fairy tale. It is quiet and beautiful. The whole Gobi Desert is covered with white snow. After walking in this deserted Devil City, the mountains in other places You don't need to pay attention to the snow scene. The beauty of nature cannot be copied by man-made, and the sky is fair. The ghost city, which screams and horrifies on weekdays, has a unique style in winter. Every scene and everything are beautiful and just right, which makes people full of praise. stunning. It seems that I have forgotten its name is Devil City. Pieces of snowflakes fell on the mound, blurring its original outline, making the originally terrifying "devil" much gentler, and the top of the mountain in the distance has also been covered with white silk, forming a strong visual difference from the usual scene. When the sunny day suddenly appeared, the snowflakes shimmered under the sunshine, and intersected with the yellow sand against the blue sky, which made the originally terrifying Devil City hang a hazy watercolor painting.

The Devil City, which was initially scary, has now become a tourist attraction, and even many film and television dramas will choose to shoot here. Movies such as "Hero", "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Seven Swords Under Tianshan" have captured the beautiful scenes in Devil City many times. Many people come here especially to see the splendor of Devil City, and use photos to record every beautiful moment. Every scenic spot here has iconic sculptures. The Nine Grand Canyons developed by the scenic spots have their own characteristics, which is an excellent place to take pictures. The totems of the Holy Land and Devil City can be seen everywhere.

After a deep understanding of this place, I found that the Devil City does have "magic power". It may not be as terrifying as the legend, but more distinctive. Especially the snow-covered Gobi Desert has quietly become the most beautiful paradise and wonderland. Isn't such incredible scenery worth seeing? day3: Baiyanghe Grand Canyon Maybe you have seen the Yadan landform and all kinds of Grand Canyons, but have you seen the place where the Yadan landform and the canyon scenery are integrated? In the Baiyanghe Grand Canyon in Karamay, you can enjoy the spectacle of the combination of the two. Baiyanghe Grand Canyon is located in Wuerhe District of Karamay City, on the west side of Wuerhe District, more than 100 kilometers away from the urban area of ​​Karamay. Because of its remote location, this canyon is still an "unpopular" scenic spot, and the scenery is the most primitive and natural.

After going here, I realized that the Baiyanghe Grand Canyon is undoubtedly lucky. The rest of the surrounding area is the endless Gobi desert. Except for the drought, the yellow sand is flying all over the sky, and the canyon is the only place in this Gobi desert that is full of vitality. The biggest reason is precisely because Karamay’s mother river, the Baiyang River, crosses here. The Baiyang River originates from the Wuer Kashi’er Mountain in western Xinjiang and winds for 170 kilometers from west to east, and flows into Eric lake. It is precisely because of the nourishment of the river that this section of the Grand Canyon has dense forests and rich meadows all year round. Located in a lonely place in the desert, it has breathtaking scenery. The Grand Canyon winds for about 30 kilometers. It is about 200 meters narrow and about 600 meters wide at its widest point, with steep banks on both sides and a height of about 20-30 meters.

The Baiyanghe Grand Canyon is so beautiful. The canyon sinks deep into the earth. Standing on the canyon and overlooking the entire Grand Canyon, its natural surface fractures are like heaven holding a big ax to divide it. Second, the two sides of the Grand Canyon are 90 degrees perpendicular to the bottom of the valley, very steep and steep. The Cretaceous light maroon mudstone and sandstone are on the banks of the valley, and its strong color can be seen faintly even in winter.

At the bottom of the valley, the dense primitive wild Populus euphratica forest stretches along the direction of the river. The most amazing thing is the "Eighteen Warriors" tree. On an open land in the middle of the canyon, there are 18 Populus euphratica growing in clusters. The thick trunk is particularly tall and vigorous, and the branches and leaves are luxuriant at the waist of the tree, but there is no canopy, only the branches point to the sky. , that suffocating masculinity is unforgettable.

In this magical land, winter is a completely different scene. The sky and the earth seem to be very close, and the world of Frozen is full of dreamy blue and white colors. The snowflakes in the sky almost filled the riverbed, leaving only a little edge of the rock and the viewing plank road. Even so, you can still feel the magnificence of the "northern scenery, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow". The Baiyang River, which is called the mother river by the people of Karamay, is also covered with snow. The stagnant river freezes out of a natural ice field, shining like a mirror.
