Since 2019, it has been a long time since I took a good look at what the outside world looks like. The longing for the scenery outside has not diminished but increased. It can be said that the longing for the scenery has become a luxury until the opportunity comes...
There are two places in the world that must be visited: one is Tibet and the other is Xinjiang. Tibet gives people spiritual shock, while Xinjiang gives people more visual shock.
After going to Tibet, Xinjiang has always been a place in my heart.
The joy of having two babies in Xinjiang is our biggest receipt. I drove a RV to Beijiang and walked through the two most beautiful roads in Beijiang, Yizhao Highway and Duku Highway. After watching Sailimu Lake, the last drop of tears in the Atlantic Ocean, I went to Yili Zhaosu, the hometown of Tianma.
Our itinerary:
Autumn in Kanas is like a colorful oil painting, magically changing various colors, gorgeous and charming!
This Xinjiang trip is different from other places, because the distance between the attractions is relatively far, so for the comfort and safety of our children, our Xinjiang travel steward Xiao Li arranged a caravan and a full-time local driver Wang Ge! (*The RV issue that everyone is most concerned about is at the end of the article:)
Because the destination of this trip is very clear, I spent enough time in the Kanas scenic spot, and stayed for two nights to experience three different villages slowly!
After communicating with Xiao Li, the itinerary is customized as follows:
D1: Urumqi - Devil City - Burqin
D2: Burqin - colorful beach - Baihaba
D3: White Haba
D4: White Haba —— Kanas
D5: Kanas
D6: Kanas —— Hemu
D7: Hemu
D8: Hemu —— Burqin
D9: Burqin —— Urumqi
Thanks to Xiao Li for the arrangement, Master Wang came to pick us up at the airport in the middle of the night, and the airport was crowded with people at midnight. In Xinjiang, the most memorable thing for us is Xiao Li and his team. The service is always so enthusiastic and reliable! In order to make our next day's itinerary go smoothly, Team Guo, who was in charge, also worked overtime overnight to hand over to us. By the end of the day, it was already past 2 o'clock in the morning.
Interlude short story:
I asked: Xiao Li, do you have a pick-up service?
Xiao Li: Of course, we have pick-up station service.
I asked: Is it okay if it is very late?
Xiao Li: The later the time is, the more we have to pick up, because the purpose of picking up the station is to facilitate the travelers and ensure the safety of the travelers.
D1: Depart from Devil City, overnight in Burqin
The itinerary on the first day is a bit rushed for a self-driving tour, but it is within our acceptable range. (Every person's situation is different, it is recommended to arrange the itinerary according to the needs)
Wang Ge deliberately picked his own grapes and waited outside the RV early in the morning for us to take them on the road to eat. This is how Xinjiang people spread their enthusiasm everywhere! According to him, this is the best grape in Urumqi hahaha!
After driving on the road, the two babies finally got into the car they had been thinking about! 6 seats and 5 bedrooms are too spacious for us! This is our home on the road.
Today's breakfast is fresh, crispy and sweet bunches of grapes full of affection from Brother Wang, which starts our energetic day! Sweet grapes, we are here at the right time!
The Quia Expressway that came out of the city this time has also been repaired. The road to Burqin is full of expressways like this. Even I who don’t usually drive or drive a big car, I just got started and drove more than 200 kilometers in one go, because there are really no cars along the way!
After 5 o'clock in the afternoon, we arrived at the first stop: Wuerhe World Devil City, according to the rules, first take a picture of the devil's eyes!
This is a famous scenic spot that must be passed on the way to Kanas. Those who have never seen the Yadan landform can go in and have a look.
The light of Devil City is the most beautiful in the morning and dusk. The special landform makes it sound like howling ghosts and wolves when the wind blows. The beauty and legendary color of Devil City are amazing.
The devil city is very sunny, and it takes one and a half hours to go back and forth by a small train, and we want to arrive at Burqin before dark, so we simply took a photo here and left.
On the side of the 217 national road that we went to Burqin, we found a little feeling of the prairie. The herdsmen's flocks were transitioning, and the two children excitedly asked to get off the car and stop.
The next day and the itinerary to be continued.....
