The place I plan to go to today is Bohu County.
Bohu County has the famous Bosten Lake, which is a 5A scenic spot, and there are also scenic spots such as Lianhua Lake and Bailuzhoutou. I know they are all worth visiting. In particular, Bosten Lake, known as "West Sea" in ancient times, is the largest inland freshwater lake in China. Bosten means standing in Mongolian, and it got its name because Sandaohu Mountain stands in the center of the lake.
A friend of mine is a writer, and his favorite hobby is fishing. So we were encouraged to go to Bosten Lake, and it was called to eat fish.
But the place I want to go the most is a place called Hongqi.
Strictly speaking, this place is not a scenic spot, and it can't be found on the map at all.
However, the Hongqi brand is the most fascinating place for me! From a personal point of view, the main destination of my 10-day trip is actually the Red Flag.
There are three reasons:
1. In the early years, Hongqi Pagoda was a place with extremely rich aquatic plants, and it was a sacred place in the hearts of local herdsmen.
2. The natural scenery is very beautiful, with mountains and water, without any traces of artificial carving.
3. It lies on the bank of the Kaidu River, and I am very yearning and curious about the Kaidu River, which stems from my liking for "Journey to the West", because it is said that the Kaidu River is the Liusha River in "Journey to the West".
4. The most important thing: it is the hometown of my life-and-death friend!
So regarding the itinerary, the three of us started arguing in this small hotel in Yanqi County. I was too stubborn and my friend let me win.
Thank you my fellow friends!
So there is the eighth day's itinerary: Yanqi - Bohu - Red Flag - Hejing - Baluntai - Alagou
Next to this hotel is a breakfast shop, opened by people from Henan, we eat spicy soup, deep-fried dough sticks, and steamed buns.
I have never been to the Hongqi brand, I only know that this place is not far from Yanqi County.
We were worried about who to ask, and just passed the checkpoint, so we asked the staff casually, and the answer we got made us overjoyed.
We first asked the management unit of the Hongqi brand, a breeding farm, which was not far ahead, just beside the road.
Look, here it is.
When I came here and asked, I just ran into an enthusiastic person. He volunteered to ride a motorcycle and take us to the red flag.
This enthusiastic person is Maimai Jiangbat, a Uyghur who speaks Chinese very well.
He told me that at the age of 51 this year, he was born in Hongqi, and he can vividly remember the decades of changes here.
Maimai Jiangbat told me many stories about Hongqi brand.
This has found the material and root for my novel "Love in Bayinbulak". Thank him!
What was once a small river is now a ditch.
The once dense Achnatherum splendens beach is now a large cornfield.
The hillside no longer exists, and now it is being farmed.
I have never seen the pear orchard I had imagined.
Or a breeding shed.
chili! The peppers in Bohu County are very famous!
The red willow under the poplar at the intersection reminds me of a person.
go away! A bit reluctant.
Suddenly an idea popped up, it would be great to settle down here!
Passing by and quiet.
My friends who are traveling with me are very generous! Bosten Lake did not go in the end. We went straight home, home.
Yellow ditch.
Entering the mountain, along the way, there are wild goji berries on both sides of the road.
The small river flowing in the Tianshan Mountains is clear and bright.
Barron Terrace. Very busy, we had lamb soup here for lunch.
Then I bought some vegetables and planned to eat them at night.
keep going.
Alagou has arrived.
Take a few pictures at the top of the mountain.
In the distance is the lake, the water is lingering.
The mountain road winds.
Alagou, we washed the car here.
The water is cold. When we left, many people came to play by the river.
In the distance, there is a bridge over the river, which seems to be abandoned.
Keep going, the scenery is infinite.
Abandoned railway station, along the road you can also see the railway tracks running through the Tianshan Mountains.
The sky is blue and the clouds are white, and the thought of going home makes me feel good!
A decadent village photographed on the way.
Here's where we'll camp tonight. It's beautiful!
It's night, we eat hot pot.
I'm going to play in this ditch tomorrow, so...see you tomorrow!
