Written in the front, 1, refueling tourist vehicles in Xinjiang, it is very important to choose the right time and place to refuel, avoid the gas stations near scenic spots and some special locations, such as Qiaoerma gas station, Kanas gas station and other queues will make you collapse. 2. The temperature difference between day and night in Xinjiang is very large. The scenery is the most beautiful in the morning and before sunset. No matter how good the scenery is in the hot noon, the scenery will be greatly reduced. It is best to avoid noon when choosing the time to go to the scenic spot. 3. There is no problem with the law and order in Xinjiang, and it should be at the top level in the country. 4. People in Xinjiang are very cheerful and love to joke and are kind. 5. It is best not to have a driver, it is best to have a temporary replacement.
Here I would like to solemnly thank my wife for walking through many places with me.
This trip is 9000 kilometers, 17 days. The main expenses are accommodation and oil, followed by attractions tickets and food. Baoding - Datong - Bayannur - Ejina - Hami - Fukang City (Tianshan Tianchi) - Chakurtu - Hemu - Kanas - Urho - Yining - Nalati - Bayinbulak - Shihezi - Hami - Ejina - Baotou - Baoding.
Everyone yearns for poetry and distant places, and Xinjiang is the farthest place I can go. In the highly developed information age, tourism in Xinjiang has been hyped up. I have been paying attention to it for more than half a year, and I have always stayed on the general scenic spots. I have not made detailed strategies. The main reason is laziness. I struggled for a long time without a partner on the bike, and finally made up my mind to do it. Thanks to my wife and kids for supporting me!
On July 27, Baoding changed the engine oil and filter, did a simple inspection, and officially set off after lunch. The first stop was Datong, Shanxi. Four hours of high speed, nothing worth mentioning, the outer ring road of Datong is very broken, there are many large cars, and the dust is flying. The city is okay, it's cool at night, and the accommodation conditions are average, because it's the peak summer season, the price is inflated. It's worth mentioning that parking is tight.
On July 28, after breakfast, I came to the Yungang Grottoes. The rough outline of the Buddha, the vivid expression, the mottled Buddha statue seemed to tell the vicissitudes of history, and the bright eyes revealed the majesty of the Buddha. People can't help clasping their hands together and worshiping devoutly. At the same time, they can also experience the profoundness and long history of Chinese culture. The reason why the statue's eyes are shining, according to my wife, is made of colored glaze. It is hard to imagine how hard the ancients went to build Buddha statues on the cliffs, and I deeply admire the piety of the ancients.
After visiting the Yungang Grottoes, continue to set off, the destination is Bayannaoer, the local people call it Linhe, and the river is the Yellow River. The road is very desolate, Linhe is an oasis, Linhe is a good city, it feels slightly better than Datong. After seven or eight hours of travel, I was already a little tired. Looking at the map, I was still far away from Xinjiang. I didn’t dare to get tired. I ate some local braised noodles, which tasted very good. Go to bed early and keep your strength. By the way, most of the hotel guests are foreigners, and the destinations are also very consistent, all of which are Xinjiang.
The sunset in Linhe is about an hour later than in Dabaoding. This is the sunset after eight o'clock in the evening.
On July 29, today's destination, Ejina, had less than half a tank of fuel before getting on the highway, and could run more than 400 kilometers. Because there was a queue for refueling, I didn't refuel. I officially set foot on the G7, and I rarely see cars. The road conditions are very good, and the speed limit on some roads is 100, which is very boring. Except for the desert, it is the Gobi, and the Yinshan Mountain is next to it. Yinshan. So I taught my son to recite this poem, and by the way, I also finished the homework assigned by the teacher.
Yinshan Mountain is a natural barrier against the barbarians. It is hundreds of kilometers parallel to the highway in Mianyang. After passing through the two service areas, there is no fuel. The fuel in the car can only run more than 100 kilometers. It took more than 100 kilometers to get to a place with people, and I started to worry. The sign of the gas station in the service area 50 to 60 kilometers ahead on the road sign was marked with a red cross. There is an exit a few kilometers away. I wanted to go to the toll booth and ask what to do. The staff at the toll booth confirmed that there was oil in the service area ahead, but the red cross hadn’t had time to take it off, and my depressed mood was swept away. And Guang, went to the service area to fill up the gas smoothly, even though the staff had a bad attitude, they couldn't care less about her. Continue to set off again, watching the battery life of more than 900 kilometers, the back has become hard. Stopped at the next service area to rest and found that the car next to me was a fellow villager, a family of five, and also a bicycle, so they went together. Arrived in Ejina smoothly at 4:00 p.m., temporarily booked a hotel on Ctrip. It is also the most cost-effective hotel along the way, Lanxi Villa. The cost-effectiveness is because it is the off-season in Ejina, and tourists who go to Xinjiang just rest here. Two hundred and one rooms, with a large yard, convenient parking, and a spacious room with a kang, with two mattresses put together, and a solid night's sleep. Highly recommend this room for families traveling with sleepy kids. The hotel had a full meal, it was still very early, and the sunset here was one hour later than Linhe. The front desk recommended a place where the car can drive to the Populus euphratica forest. Along the winding path, the car shuttles through the Populus euphratica forest, which feels very good. It's a pity it's not October, otherwise it would be intoxicating.
Continue to set off on the morning of July 30. Today's destination is Hami City. I have learned yesterday's lesson and filled up the fuel tank before going on the expressway. There was a little episode when I passed the Black Eagle Mountain service area on the road. Above the parking space in this service area There are carports, and there are two parking spaces under each carport. Next to the parking spaces are a stone table and four stone piers for people to enjoy the shade. I didn’t notice the existence of the stone table and hit the stone piers directly. After that, the stone table was also knocked down, and the stone table was broken. I got out of the car and took a closer look. There was nothing wrong with the car. The plastic clip of the fog light cover was opened, and it was fine with a push. A small amount of paint fell off, but it was basically undamaged. The table was broken to the ground, and people around came to watch, one of them said to me: "I don't care." It meant to leave quickly, I looked up and looked around, everyone pretended not to see, I left unkindly, and then On the highway, I feel a little uneasy, and I blame myself for being too careless. I can’t see such a big thing? The mistake has been made, let’s take it as a warning! When you arrive in the Xinjiang border, you will be required to register for ID card, driver's license, and driving book, as well as security checks. When we arrived in Hami, there were many policemen, the road was quite wide, but the car was very slow! The speed limit is 40, there is no way, I drove slowly to Home Inn, the service was good, I gave two boxes of sliced cantaloupe, very sweet! The room is small, let's make do with it and have some takeaway. Suddenly, a strange phone call asked me if I was driving a car, an ominous premonition, and then asked me if I had hit a desk in the service area of Black Eagle Mountain. I answered truthfully, the staff in the service area After calling the monitoring, I called the police, hey, sooner or later I have to pay it back! Then give me the phone number of the Black Eagle Mountain service area, and ask me to negotiate with the other party to withdraw the police. After some bargaining, the other party was compensated 400 yuan. The problem is solved and I am at ease. Who would have thought that I would also hit and run?
Today, July 31, the itinerary in Xinjiang officially started, and the end point was Fukang City, where Tianshan Tianchi is located. There are two roads from Hami to Fukang City, Urumqi. The south line is a high-speed road, passing through the Flame Mountain Turpan along the way. The northern line is half of the national highway and half of the high-speed road. There are mountains and forests along the way, which is cool. Decisively choose the northern route. Passing the Tianshan Temple and the ancient city of Balikun in the north, you need to cross the East Tianshan Mountain. We set off from Hami and walked about 30 kilometers. We started to enter the Panshan Highway. The speed limit is 40. The road is narrow and paved, but the slope is very steep, and the mountains on both sides are steep. down. As the altitude increases, the temperature gradually decreases, and the vegetation also changes. It is the scenery I am looking forward to! Under the tall spruces is a green and velvety meadow. The fly in the ointment is that there is no rushing river with white waves in the valley. Perhaps this kind of scenery is not far away. At the top of the mountain, the altitude is not high, close to 3,000, and I came to the Tianshan Temple scenic spot. It is a very small scenic spot. There is only a small temple and a statue of Ban Chao. The ticket is 20 yuan. But the scenery is very good. Standing on the ridge, overlooking the south of the East Tianshan Mountains, the Kazakh yurts are located on the green grass, next to the leisurely cattle and sheep, tall spruces, blue sky, white clouds, a fairyland on earth .
Soon I went down the mountain and started driving on the provincial road. I could see the snow on the top of the Tianshan Mountains from a distance. I could see the snow on the top of the mountain in the distance for dozens of kilometers. When I arrived at Barkol County, the ruins of the ancient city were just a section of abandoned soil. Heap, I can’t see anything. Balikun County is relatively new, it’s just an ordinary county, it’s far from the expected value, keep going, passing by Balikun Lake, there are many motorcycles by the lake, broken and broken, and there are many boats , but there is no one, the silt by the lake is very soft, more like a saline marsh, and you can't reach the lake without going out with your shoes. Passing by the toll booth of the national highway, I charged 65 yuan. I asked why it was so expensive. The other party said that there are both here and there. I don’t understand what it means, but I feel that the money is spent in a muddle. of. On the road with a speed limit of 460, our two cars went faster and faster, and even ran 120 at the fastest time. If you see the speed on the crossbar, you must slow down. I think the police in Xinjiang will not be used to us. . Catch up with the road construction, there is a temporary dirt road in the nearby valley, barely able to walk, finally got on the expressway, and there are few vehicles, it is worth it, and finally arrived in Fukang City before dark at ten o'clock . There is a newly opened restaurant opposite the hotel. I ordered some skewers and a few dishes. I didn’t expect that the big plate of Xinjiang chicken was two huge plates. We couldn’t eat it at all. We barely ate some. The chicken is very hard. It's cooked enough, but it's not delicious.
On August 1st, I woke up in the morning not hungry and didn’t want to eat. I drove directly to Tianchi, and I arrived there in less than ten minutes. I bought tickets and took the shuttle bus. I got off at the first stop, walked through the market in the scenic spot, and then sat in line. Shuttle bus is for you to consume in this market. After the shuttle bus arrives at the station, change to a battery car and go to the cableway ticket office, buy a cableway ticket and line up for the cableway car, and finally take the cableway to a very high place in Tianshan Mountain. Few tourists continue to go up. The procedure is the same when going back, and it is really annoying and annoying to drive back and forth. And all of them are very steep winding mountain roads. When meeting cars, the cars going down the mountain have to stop and let the cars going up the mountain go first. When going up the mountain, it’s okay. , I haven't eaten well in the past few days, especially today, I feel a little unbearable and need to rest. But despite this, Tianshan Tianchi is still worth a visit. The scenery of Tianchi Lake in Tianshan Mountain is really beautiful, the snow-capped mountains melt all the way, the alpine meadow is under the towering spruce, and the water of Tianchi Lake in the sun is calm and mysterious. The main peak, Bogda Peak, is covered with snow. The temperature is suitable, but sun protection must be done well.
Appreciating the perfect scenery, we decided to set off in the direction of Hemu and live near Keketuo Haifuyun County on the way. It turned out that this was a bad decision. We set off from Tianchi Lake in Tianshan Mountain at two o'clock in the afternoon. We drove on the expressway for about two hours. Because the expressway was closed for road construction, we changed to the national highway. The scenery of the national highway was also very good. We passed the Huoshao Mountain. The landforms along the way are very strange. From time to time, there will be a water area on both sides of the road, large or small, and the desert or the next door is next to it. It feels very magical. After hundreds of kilometers of trekking, we finally arrived at a town called Chakurtu, which is more than 100 kilometers away from Fuyun County. We finally found a place where we could barely live, and the price was relatively cheap. However, the conditions were also very poor. I was so tired that I ate some snacks and fell asleep in a hurry.
On August 2, I woke up in the morning with a headache and a bloated stomach. I finally couldn’t take it anymore after running around for several days, but I also found a comfortable place to rest, so I had to bite the bullet and continue on my way. At the critical moment, my wife stepped forward, my son was sitting in the co-pilot and I was lying on the back seat. It is 400 kilometers from Chakurtu to Hemu, but it took more than ten hours to drive. The wife drove alone. The more than 100 kilometers close to Hemu Village are all mountain roads. The road is very dangerous and you have to climb several mountains. Whenever you go down the mountain In the end, I felt that it should be here this time. I didn’t expect to go forward and there was another big mountain that needed to be climbed. The final mood was that I didn’t have any illusions. I didn’t care about where I went. When I saw the road sign 30 kilometers away from Hemu Village , we finally saw hope, and the scenery became beautiful. The road passed through the woods along with the river, and there were people riding horses driving cattle and sheep on the hillside by the roadside. Finally we arrived at the Hemu Scenic Area. The tourists' cars , must be parked at the foot of the mountain outside the scenic area. There is a parking lot on the cement road in the scenic area, but even one-tenth of the vehicles cannot be parked. There are too many tourists. The parking lot at the foot of the mountain is directly parked on the grass. Garbage It can be seen everywhere that the environment has been unscrupulously destroyed in this way, and I suddenly feel that I shouldn't disturb this outdoor paradise. Take the bus from the scenic spot again and drive to Hemu Village for about 50 minutes. Finally, we arrived at Hemu Luye B&B, which was booked in advance. It's okay, I went out for a walk after dinner, the scenery of Hemu is pretty good, but it has been seriously commercialized, not the paradise I imagined.
On August 3, it is said that I overlooked Hemu Village from the sightseeing platform in the early morning. The mist was shrouded and the smoke was curling up, but I really couldn't get up in the morning after days of running around. After breakfast, I feel much better, but I also missed the best time to watch Hemu Village. After a short rest, I set off again. I don’t plan to go to Kanas. I think Kanas and Hemu should be similar, and I plan to go to Buer Take a look at the colorful beach in Tianjin.
Hemu scenery.
On the way out of Hemu, I passed a kebab place. The kebabs in Xinjiang are the most famous in the country, and I heard from Xinjiang people that the kebabs in Kanas are the best kebabs in Xinjiang. I think stop the car and taste it, 8 yuan a bunch,
A young Kazakh boy was very enthusiastic. His grandfather grilled skewers, and his two granddaughters helped. He grilled a few skewers and tasted it. It's a bit exaggerated, but the mutton skewers are juicy but not smelly, elastic but not clogged, fragrant but not greasy, it is really the best lamb skewers I have ever eaten, no one, even the Beijing Office of Bayingol Prefecture The mutton kebabs are not as good as this roadside kebab, and the production is simple, only cumin powder is added, and the salt is put in to prevent water loss when the sheep is slaughtered. The little Kazakh boy is in the sixth grade and loves to laugh. I took my son to ride a horse, and he was led for a walk on the fairyland-like mountain for a while. My son was very happy, and I was also very content to see his happy smile. Back at the yurt, I met a father and daughter from Beijing who were also eating mutton skewers there. We had a casual chat and learned that we were not planning to go to Kanas. They thought it was a pity and said Kanas was worth it. Went there, the scenery was quite beautiful, listened to people's persuasion, and had a full meal. So we bid farewell to the little Kazakh boy and went to Kanas. We still parked the car outside the Kanas scenic spot and changed to the bus in the scenic spot to Kanas village. We stayed in the rice homestay in Kanas New Village, which is very close to the old village, but the price of accommodation in the new village is several times that of the old village, and the price/performance ratio is quite low. When we arrived at Rice B&B, the boss came out to welcome us warmly, but took us to live in someone else's house. It turned out that this was their routine. After being rejected by me, he took me to the only room left in his house. Very poor, comparable to Chakurtu, but the price is indeed several times that. Meals are also surprisingly expensive, second only to robbery.
Just after we arranged our accommodation, it started to rain heavily. When the rain stopped, we decided to go for a walk by Kanas Lake first. After we arrived at Kanas Lake by bus in the scenic area, we happened to catch up with the rafting on the Kanas River. (Due to It was closed because of the rain just now) An important purpose of this trip is to get in touch with these snow-capped rivers, and Kanas River rafting is an excellent opportunity. The Kanas River rafting is the same as what I used to play. The rafting is not the same, the Kanas River is fast-flowing, there are many dark rocks, and the waves are also very big. We put on professional waterproof clothing and sit in a large kayak with nine people and two helmsmen from the other two. In taking a straight oar, you need to listen to the helmsman's password and everyone can work together to move forward safely. Whenever you pass through big waves, it is the most exciting and fun time. The waves splash on your son's face, shining in the setting sun, watching them I also feel very happy with the happy expressions of the two. The time to come back from rafting is already very tight. The last bus is at 8:30, and I hurried to Kanas Lake to take a look. It was not as mysterious as I imagined. Maybe I was too hasty to see it clearly.
Sure enough, I missed the last bus at the transfer center, and a tour group also missed it. The tour guide was begging for scheduling, but the scheduling was very unpleasant. I thought it would be better to find a way instead of begging him. The innkeeper said it was impossible. You can ask the police for help, there are patrol cars all over the place, you really can't go back! I walked towards the road with my wife and children, and I happened to catch up with a few people who were getting on an Iveco. I followed them, and the kind-hearted lady in the car asked me if I was okay. I said I was going to Xincun? I didn’t have a car and wanted to take a ride. The eldest sister readily let us get on the bus, and no money was collected when we arrived in Xincun. Good luck! While having dinner, the fog in the mountains has risen, and the locals said that it is estimated that the fog in Sanwan will be very heavy tomorrow morning.
In order to let my wife sleep well at night, my son and I shared the same bed. There was a bug on the bed that scared my son so much that he screamed. During this trip, my son didn’t sleep well and kept tossing around in the middle of the night.
On August 4th, get up early and arrive at the transfer center at the first stop to reach Shenxianwan, the beautiful scenery, see the picture
Sanwan is the essence of Kanas. Since we stayed in Shenxian Bay for too long, when we arrived at Moon Bay, the fog had receded, but the scenery was still very good!
Continue to Wolong Bay, where the water of the Kanas River tends to be gentle, and the grass that emerges from the water looks like a dinosaur
After leaving the scenic spot, I planned to live in Burqin, but the fellow villagers on the road felt that it was too early to go a little longer, so we worked harder to catch up before ten o'clock and arrived at the supermarket near the hotel in Wuerhe District, Karamay City, where the World Devil City is located. The boss had lived in Baoding for 30 years, and pointed out a way to pick up gold silk jade at a place more than 20 kilometers away from Devil City, so he decided to get up early tomorrow to try it. Simply eat and sleep downstairs in the hotel.
On August 5th, I got up early and followed yesterday's route to find the place where I can pick up gold silk jade. I also saw many kowtow machines along the way. The scale far exceeds that of the North China Oilfield. Yes, I can't help but sigh the magic of nature, such a huge wealth is buried under this Gobi Desert. I also saw the grotesque Yadan landforms. Because the grotesque landforms are particularly tall, what you see inside and outside the scenic area is roughly the same. You need to change to a bus to go to each station in the World Devil City. It's easy to drive and look outside. I don't know if you can see the soul of the giant mound in the scenic area.
Simply send a few. Today's destination is Yining City, passing by Sailimu Lake, which is known as the last tear of the Atlantic Ocean, and it keeps driving, wow, and arrives at Sailimu Lake at four o'clock in the afternoon. The temperature drops from more than 30 degrees It is very cool at about 20 degrees, and the altitude is about 2,000 meters. Sailimu Lake is very big. You can see Sailimu Lake several kilometers away from the ticket office, which is very beautiful. Sailimu Lake is surrounded by barbed wire. I don’t know the difference between looking at the lake through the barbed wire and buying a ticket to cross the barbed wire. Or take a bus around the lake. It takes several hours. Because I have to hurry, I didn’t go in and stayed by the lake. He left after a while.
Passing the Guozigou Bridge, the design is ingenious, and I feel that the road maker is really great. I went over the mountains again and came to Yining. Yili is a fertile land, and Yining is also a very prosperous city. This is the westernmost end of this trip to Xinjiang. At this pace, I stayed at the All Seasons Hotel and upgraded to a family room. After all, it is a big city, and the service is also very good. I ordered takeaway, took a comfortable bath, and slept.
On August 6th, in the morning, we set out to Nalati along the curved Yili River. The flow of the Yili River is very large, giving birth to this magical land. Arrive at Nalati at 3:00 p.m., and the fellow villagers are in a hurry and want to continue crossing the Duku Highway to Dushanzi. I am worried that I am tired and want to leave more time for the Duku Highway. After all, the Duku Highway is the most important attraction of this trip. , so I stayed in Nalati, Juge Inn, which is quite expensive, but it is more cozy, and the room is okay. There are many trees and flowers in the yard, and there is a small canal running through the middle of the yard. Kazakh fried potatoes are very good Eat, my son eats once at noon and will eat at night. Rest early in the evening and prepare for an early departure tomorrow.
On August 7, I set off early in the morning without breakfast. When I arrived at the intersection of Duku Highway, the traffic police told me that there was a mudslide last night and that the Duku Highway was closed. Before I came to Xinjiang, I heard that the Duku Highway would be temporarily closed due to weather and other factors, but I never expected that I would catch up with it. Then I read the headline news that the mudslides on the Duku Highway were serious. When it will be opened, I will be notified. Suddenly, 10,000 grass-mud horses roared past in my mind. There is no way to make a temporary decision to go south along the Duku Highway, go to Bayinbulak to have a look, and advance along the beautiful Gongnaisi River. The scenery along the way is beautiful, but I feel a little lost. Yinbuluk, the prairie here is very nice. It has two different styles from Hulunbeier. The grass here is very low, like a football field. The river flows in the valley. It is very beautiful. Needless to say, the blue sky and white clouds are beautiful I have no intention of admiring it, and silently pray in my heart that the Duku Highway can be opened to traffic as soon as possible. There are many jam sellers on the road. I heard from tourists that this is delicious, and my son was drooling with joy. He decided to take a few bottles home. I bought a few bottles and I thought they were average. Returning to Nalati again, looking for a good place to live, decided to wait for a while. There was news that it would be open to traffic in two days, and I was very conflicted. I kept checking the news and calling the highway bureau. The owner of the inn has a WeChat group of the merchant, and the news in it is relatively well-informed, so let's wait.
On August 8th, I woke up in the morning and continued to make calls, but it was still not open to traffic. I got up and cleaned up, and asked the boss. The boss said that the Duku Highway had been opened to traffic a few minutes ago. The news was reliable, ecstatic, comfortable backpack, and set off immediately , I was afraid that I would not be able to catch up if it was too late. Sure enough, I entered the Duku Highway smoothly. The scenery is really good. There is a river next to the road, and there are spruce and grass beside the river. Most of the photos are on my wife's mobile phone, but the mobile phone can't take pictures at all. That majestic beauty. All the way up the mountain, the road is asphalt road, but there are many bends, the slope is very steep, and most of the cliffs are next to it. The Duku Highway that I have been thinking about is really well-deserved. The trees disappeared, and gradually the grass also disappeared, leaving only bare stones and soil. You can see the snow on the top of the mountain and a small amount of snow in the shade of the roadside, and you have never had the chance to experience the four seasons of the Duku Highway.
I passed by another kebab shop, the taste is also very good, but it is really not as good as the one in Kanas, but it is already delicious! I bought some beef jerky and made it a snack for the return trip. I chewed it for a while when I had nothing to do, and finished it before I got home. The road from Dushanzi to Qiaoerma is even more dangerous. It is covered with barbed wire along the way, and many stones have fallen. Mud and rocks were left behind to form mudslides. The successor said that when he passed by the day before yesterday, the mudslides had just started. The cars in front and behind seemed to have received information. They ran seventy or eighty miles on the rugged mountain roads and couldn’t catch up. Only when they saw the mudslides did they understand why. What happened, I thought to myself that I might as well wait two days instead of taking such a big risk to pass. In this way, I walked more than 200 kilometers for seven or eight hours, except for the Duku Highway, and took the expressway to Shihezi All Seasons Hotel, parked the car, arranged the room, ordered takeaway, took a shower and slept.
On August 9th, the return mode was turned on, and I arrived at the All Seasons Hotel in Hami via Turpan Flame Mountain at high speed. When passing by Turpan, the temperature was 44.5 degrees. I thought that there was nothing to see, and I was so hot
After arriving in Hami, the restaurant on the opposite side was not full, so I ordered takeaway. I bought a cantaloupe in the supermarket downstairs. It was delicious. I decided to buy a few more to take home tomorrow morning.
On August 10, I bought some Yili Laojiao at a convenience store and brought them to my father-in-law as I passed by a PetroChina gas station, thanking him for taking care of us. I was surprised to see wild camels several times in no-man's land on the road. Arrive at Ejin Lanxi Villa in the evening, still the same house.
On August 11, the destination was Baotou. The road condition was very good. Baotou is very big. Half of the old city is very dilapidated, and half of the new city is not bad.
On August 12, the scenery in Shanxi was very good, and I felt that the environment was very good.
All the way at high speed to get home before dark. The trip is over.
Xinjiang is beautiful, and traveling is great.
