The itinerary is planned.

Another important point is that you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Gansu Province along the way. Therefore, every This time we will choose the itinerary to start from Lanzhou!
D1: Pick up from the airport in Lanzhou, watch the rapeseed flowers in Menyuan, Qinghai, and Biandukou, Minle County, Zhangye, and stay overnight in Zhangye.
The best viewing months for rapeseed flowers in Menyuan, Qinghai are from the end of June to the beginning of August. If you haven’t come to Menyuan to see rapeseed flowers, don’t jump to the conclusion that you’ve seen the most spectacular sea of flowers. Overlooking the sea of flowers in Daban Mountain, the sight is golden and magnificent!
The first time I came to the Northwest in 2017, I was amazed by the rapeseed flowers in Menyuan. Today, I wandered in the sea of flowers again, and my mood was as wonderful as the scenery!
The industrious bee hunters are always chasing this flowery road, where there are flowers, there are bees and sweetness.
In Menyuan in July, there is a golden ocean under the Qilian Mountains, pure blue sky and white clouds, and goshawks hovering; the vast grasslands are green and red, cattle and sheep are like clouds, distant mountains and rivers, villages and people complement each other, and outline a paradise on earth. scenery.
When Menyuan in Qinghai was full of flowers and covered the sky, there was a place called Biandukou in Minle County, Gansu Province, where rapeseed flowers were also in full bloom, magnificent and beautiful!
Under the Qilian Mountains, the grasslands are verdant, the sea of flowers is like a brocade belt, and the herdsmen gallop their horses. The sky and the mountains are silent, the flowers and the creatures are secretly competing, everything is natural and picturesque!
After the "sweeping pornography", the old friend Master Li took us to taste the famous hand-caught mutton in a local restaurant with special features. Boiled lamb is also very popular!
Zhangye Bell Tower------
On the first day, we ended our trip in a golden dreamland, waiting for us will be another fantastic natural wonder.
D2, Colorful Danxia in Zhangye, stay overnight in Hami
This is the second time I came to Zhangye, and the second time I came to Danxia Geological Park. Compared with the visual senses in 2017, the colors of Danxia this time are more gorgeous and eye-catching. Master Li said that different seasons, different weather, and different light can lead to different colors of Danxia. Zhangye's Danxia landform, if expressed in words, is shocking, dazzling, and spectacular...not enough to describe its appearance. Its majestic momentum, spectacular scenes, peculiar shapes, colorful colors, and the uncanny workmanship of nature are amazing. Not only does she have the strangeness and danger of Danxia, but what is more beautiful is her color. Within a radius of more than 10 square kilometers, red, yellow, orange, green, white, blue gray, gray black, gray white and other bright colors can be seen everywhere, decorating countless ditches and hills in a colorful manner. Zhang Wei Danxia's landforms are like a magnificent oil painting with rich ink and color, with her interlaced lines, colorful tones, and dazzling and magnificent paintings.
It was almost noon when we came out of Danxia Geological Park. We went all the way north, passed Jiayuguan and Yumen via Jiuquan, and drove out of Gansu at 17:30 and arrived in Xinjiang.
In the Yumen service area, I ran into Master Xi, the head of the "Silk Road Tour Team". In recent years, the "Silk Road Tour" team has led us to enjoy the Qingan-Gansu Ring Road, the Sichuan-Tibet-Qinghai Tour, and the North-South Xinjiang Tour. Appreciate the magnificent rivers and mountains of the motherland. This encounter is just like under the lamp, the old friends from thousands of miles away, come back to meet each other, after a short stay and exchange, we say goodbye for a while, and go on our own journeys!
D3, Hami, Huoyanshan, Turpan Grape Valley, stay overnight in Urumqi
Xinjiang is so big that it crosses time zones! As soon as we arrived in Hami, we fully felt the difference between "Xinjiang time" and "Beijing time". At 10:30 in the evening, many parts of China have finished a day of work and entertainment and are ready to go to bed, but in Xinjiang, the nightlife has just started after the sunset.
There is a Hami city in Xinjiang, and the melons produced in Hami are called Hami melons. Just in time for the cantaloupe to ripen, you can see melon farmers selling melons everywhere on the street and on the side of the road. When you arrive in Xinjiang, if you ask "how much is a catty" when you buy something, you must be a foreign tourist, because Xinjiang people are bold and unrestrained in their bones, and only by buying and selling on the kilogram can they show the atmosphere and authenticity of Xinjiang. After eating, the cantaloupe just picked from the field in Xinjiang is sweeter and fresher than the cantaloupe produced in other places!
Scene reconstruction----
Me: Boss, how much is a catty of cantaloupe?
Boss: Four yuan!
Me: Four dollars is too expensive!
Boss: It's not expensive, it's four yuan a kilogram, so cheap!
I:......
In the days to come, I learned step by step that when ordering mutton in restaurants, picking fruits in orchards, or buying specialty products in the market, you can’t ask "how much is a catty", otherwise, after visiting Xinjiang for so many days, I seem to be too LOW !
Early in the morning, your melon eaters are already online.
Xinjiang is so big that the temperature in the same province can be "two layers of ice and fire" at the same time. In the midsummer, the Duku Highway is full of snow, which is already jaw-dropping. The temperature in Turpan is 42°, and the extreme surface temperature of Huoyanshan is 83°. Barbecue powder, itself is a walking skewer! The local people rely on natural conditions, put eggs in the sandpit, and do a small business in full swing.
At 11 o'clock in the morning, the world's largest thermometer showed that the real-time temperature of Huoyanshan was 65°, which is worthy of being the hottest place in China!
Sandpit baked eggs, 5~10 yuan/piece, known as the most expensive freshly baked eggs in Chinese scenic spots! But things are rare and expensive. While taking away the beautiful scenery of Xinjiang, we might as well do some small business for the local people.
The 86 version of "Journey to the West" directed by Yang Jie took several years to complete the filming. During the period, it experienced severe cold and scorching heat, and the filming was very hard. To say that the hardest episode is Huoyanshan. Today we came here in person, under the hot sun and rolling waves, we felt the difficulty of the crew and paid tribute to the classics!
At the foot of the Huoyan Mountain, there is a canyon about 8 kilometers long from north to south and about 2 kilometers wide from east to west. Nearly a hundred kinds of grapes are planted in the canyon, such as Seedless White, Mauzi, Baijiagan, Red Rose and Soso. This is the famous Grape Valley. . "The grapes in Turpan are ripe!" The cadenced voice of the Uighur uncle has been imprinted in our minds since childhood. Coming to Grape Valley is like arriving at the Peach Blossom Spring of "Fire Island". The valley is surrounded by streams, grape trellises are everywhere, grape vines are layered on top of each other, and the greenery is lush, as if you are in a natural grape oxygen bar.
The grapes in Turpan are ripe. Pick two secretly, sweet and delicious. If you want to eat grapes, don’t learn from me. You can buy a small basket of grapes for 10-20 yuan, which is very good!
In the grape valley, you can't feel the high temperature of 40 degrees outside. If you are tired, sit under the grape trellis and eat the local desert melon soaked in stream water. It is very cool.
The setting sun is at the west peak, and the emerald green lingers on the remaining snow.
Coming out of Grape Valley, I ran all the way towards Urumqi. Inadvertently, the dusk in Xinjiang was vividly captured in my lens.
D4, Tianshan Tianchi, stay overnight in Keketuohai Town, Fuyun County
One of the "Three Songs of Qingping Diao" written by Li Bai in the Tang Dynasty says:
"Yunxiang's clothes are beautiful and beautiful, and the spring breeze is blowing on the threshold, and the dew is thick. If you don't meet at the top of Qunyu Mountain, you will meet at Yaotai under the moon."
The vicissitudes of history have created a magnificent and unusual paradise on earth in the vast wilderness of the Western Regions of China! Tianshan Tianchi was called "Yaochi" in ancient times. It was named Tianchi with the meaning of "Heavenly Realm" and "Shenchi" in the Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty. It is located in Fukang City, Changji Prefecture, Xinjiang, on the north side of Bogda Peak, 110 kilometers away from Wushi City. It takes two hours to drive there!
The Tianshan Mountains are like a mirror, the fairyland contains the spirit of the earth, the water is double green, and the mountains are green with hundreds of mountains.
Between 2800-3500 meters above sea level, it is a subalpine meadow grassland in the tourist area on the north slope of Bogda Peak. There are many kinds of flowers and plants here, colorful and colorful, dotted on the rolling green grassland.
Climbing up along the tourist plank road, looking south at Bogda Peak from the crocodile dam, it is exactly:
"Snow in the distance and pine trees in the distance, wild flowers are green and red. The lake and mountains are painted with splash ink, and the scenery of spring, summer, autumn and winter blends together."
What is higher than the mountain is not the footsteps, but the vision.
Maya Mountain, which is 3056 meters above sea level, holds us in its majestic and sturdy arms in a majestic and majestic state.
Coming down from the Tianchi Lake, the Kazakh style garden in the valley is full of green trees and gurgling water, and the Kazakh people weave brocade and graze.
Kazakh cuisine, great news for foodies.
D5, Keketuohai National Geological Park, overnight in Burqin
Keketuo seafood gem! Before the trip, we had heard about it. We set off from Keketuohai Town in the early morning, and the temperature was 16°. The scorching heat of the previous few days really made us "chicken frozen"!
Keketuohai is located on the northeast side of Fuyun County in the Atale area of northern Xinjiang. It is a mysterious canyon hidden behind several mines. When you cross the mountain pass and come here, it seems that you have fallen into a paradise in an instant. The beautiful lake Haizi, the steep mountains and strange peaks, and the colorful jungle rivers. There are large areas of birch, poplar and pine forests between the canyons. The snow and the mountains, forests and rivers complement each other, creating a beautiful picture.
Human-faced dog-head stone, lifelike!
Keketuohai has unique geological features and rich mineral resources. The granite peaks on both sides of the Grand Canyon are mostly bell-shaped, dome-shaped, and cone-shaped. One mountain, one scene and one world view.
Karajole Waterfall
,
The climate of the Irtysh Grand Canyon is unpredictable. The average temperature in midsummer remains at more than 20 degrees. Sometimes the sky is sunny and sometimes rainy. It is best to wear a coat and bring an umbrella when entering the scenic spot.
The sky is like a dome and as blue as washing, and the floating clouds are full of meaning.
The beauty of Xinjiang is everywhere, with clear water, trees, clear flowers and beautiful scenery along the way.
That night, we stayed at the Big Red Fish Hotel in Burqin City. After eating local specialties in the old lady Gina’s Gourmet Restaurant in the Sino-Russian Old Wharf Style Street, we had a look at the exotic night scene in Burqin. Nothing could be more beautiful.
Big plate chicken, kebabs, hand pilaf, grilled fish, lamb bone soup, finger lamb, baked naan.....
Does such a dreamy place seem to be in a small town in the south of the Yangtze River?
D6, Kanas Lake, Wolong Bay, Moon Bay, Shenxian Bay, Guanyutai
Many years ago, I heard the legend about the Kanas Lake monster. How many secrets are there waiting for us to explore in this mysterious and unpredictable lake in the foreign frontier?
Natural scenery, humanities and folk customs, or the mysterious culture represented by the Kanas Lake Monster have now become elements that everyone chews after dinner. However, behind what everyone sees, there are often many little-known stories hidden. These stories will make what we see, an extra piece of connotation and culture outside the Kanas landscape, shining light!
Clear and quiet alpine lakes, dense virgin forests, snow-covered ice peaks and snow-covered ridges in the distance, and Tuva cabins in the scenic area. Here, you can not only experience the natural and primitive living conditions, but also feel the situation of a paradise .
In the deep mountains and forests of Kanas, there is such a high place overlooking the four directions, which is the Guanyutai. Looking at the lake and the clouds from the fish viewing platform, you can have a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery of the Altai Mountains. The unique shape of the dome on the top of the fish viewing platform and the four wings around the dome was designed by the designer of "Window of Shenzhen", Professor Wu Zhaozhao, a master of Chinese landscape architecture. The Kazakhs living in the waters of Kanas worship the bravery and soaring of eagles. The four wings of the fish viewing platform are not only the wings of an eagle, but also the fins of a lake monster. When we walked into Kanas, we counted 1068 steps to support the clouds and climbed up to the fish viewing platform that fell above the sky, like an eagle spreading its wings and rushing into the sky. Stay in the pavilion of Guanyutai, overlooking the magic of this pure land in the northwest.
The luxuriant grass, the dark fragrance and sparse shadows, and all kinds of flowers and plants all over the mountains and plains make up the dreamy summer of Kanas.
We walked back from Guanyutai, and began to appreciate the unique charm of Sanwan along the way!
1. Shenxian Bay is a shoal formed by Kanas Lake in the low and low mountain stream. The river divides forests and grasslands into small islands. It is shrouded in clouds and mist all the year round, just like a fairyland, so it is named "Shenxian Bay".
2. Moon Bay is a bend of the Kanas River and one of the symbols of Kanas. Due to the height difference at the bottom of the lake, the changes in the amount of water coming from upstream and the influence of light, Moon Bay presents magnificent and changeable colors. Moon Bay is sandwiched between the east and west mountains, and the river course twists and turns along with the mountains, shaped like a crescent moon, hence the name Moon Bay.
3. Wolong Bay is named "Wolong Bay" because it looks like a dragon lying on a plate and playing in the water. In the early morning, the mist drifts along the valley like a white streak, and the sunrise sprinkled in the woods makes the scenery more charming.
Jiaolong playing in the water of Wolong Bay, clear water detours to Moon Bay, grassy grass stretching across the sky, the bay is like heaven and earth!
Twilight of Jaden Yu ------

Hundreds of simple and primitive log cabins are built along the river, the village is surrounded by fertile grasslands and tall and straight birch forests, and the empty valley is ghostly, strange and beautiful.
In the evening, the cooking smoke rises slowly in the twilight, forming a dreamlike smoke belt, which is better than a fairyland.
There are many mountains here, rich pastures, pastures all over the green land, flocks of cattle and sheep are dotted like clusters of wild flowers, the warm sunshine is softly scattered in the valley, primitive log cabins stand leisurely, and the brown roofs float from time to time In the smoke of cooking, herdsmen riding horses stroll in the garden, or ride their horses and raise their whips.

Northern Xinjiang coast, we have been on a journey---
Colorful Beach is a river beach famous for its Yadan landform. It is located in Burqin County, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. The hills here have peculiar geology. Because the rocks contain different minerals, they are transformed into various splendors.

Landform combination of piers and wind-eroded depressions (troughs).
In the Devil City, surrounded by many strange-shaped mounds, some of which are as high as four stories, the side walls of the mounds are steep, and the principle of deposition can be clearly seen from the section of the side walls. The feet are all dry and cracked loess. Not a single blade of grass grows on the loess, and the surroundings are dead silent. You will marvel at the uncanny craftsmanship of nature, and admire its magnificence and majesty. Going deep into the Windy City, whenever night comes, the strong wind is mixed with various whimpers, making people shudder!
Kuitun 22:30 Sunset——
In the west half of the curtain is crimson, and in the east the full moon is in the sky.
The moon is on the left, the sunset is on the right,
The journey is under the feet, and the hometown is in the heart.
The moon rises brightly, and the brightest people shine. Comfortable and correct, laborious and quiet.
Walking in a foreign country, looking at that window, returning to my hometown, looking into the distance again. When people are traveling in other places, how often do they hide their accents, and how often do they put their inner tenderness at ease.

In the car, you can overlook the winding lakes and mountains, the distant blue sky like washing, the floating clouds and the water birds flying around, the meandering lake water meets the sky, and the blue waves are rippling and silvery. Standing by the crystal-clear lake, it seems that the coolness pouring from the sky is accompanied by the ripples of the ripples, and there are Zhitinglan floating on the shore. The people on the shore just want to sit quietly on the boulders like this, watching the water and the sky become one color, and the years seem to flow like water.
As long as the mountains and rivers are in the light, nothing will happen this summer.
To the extreme of emptiness, to keep quiet, to be cool and healthy.

On the way, I ran into two little herdsmen with a sense of camera, holding scissors and smiling at me. Oh, kind and friendly people, started my beautiful day!
I used to be intoxicated by the fragrance of alpine grasslands in the Qilian Mountains of Qinghai, rode horses on the vast grasslands of Inner Mongolia, and picked fresh mushrooms and wildflowers in Sichuan-Tibet Maoya grasslands. Shocked by a thousand miles!
In the rolling Nalati air grassland, the mountains are like covered with layers of green blankets, with thousands of mountains and one green, ups and downs! The Kazakh people live by water and grass, the nomadic grassland thrives, and the four fields share nature in the dome!

D12, Duku Highway, Urumqi International Grand Bazaar
Some people say that if you don't take the Duku Highway when you arrive in Xinjiang, you will not have a complete experience of the adventures in Xinjiang. After walking the Duku Highway, you will feel a lot of shock and awe in your heart!
Duku Highway is the highway from Dushanzi to Kuqa. It is like a giant dragon lying on the Tianshan Mountains. This 561-kilometer-long highway connects the northern and southern Xinjiang. , Its connection has shortened the distance between the north and the south of Xinjiang from the original more than 1,000 kilometers by nearly half, which can be called a monument in the history of Chinese highway construction.
In order to build this road, tens of thousands of officers and soldiers fought for 10 years, and 168 of them gave their precious lives.
The Qiaoerma Revolutionary Martyrs Cemetery is a national revolutionary martyrs cemetery built to commemorate the 168 revolutionary martyrs who died and were buried here in the construction of the Tianshan Duku Highway.
Passing through the Duku Hero Highway, I feel the road-building spirit of hard work and facing difficulties, remember those officers and soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the construction of the Duku Highway, and pay tribute to the martyrs!
The Duku Highway is more than 100 kilometers away from Dushanzi. It has steep bends, steep slopes, dangerous terrain, steep snow-capped mountains, and threatening cold. The snow does not melt all year round. Park here and experience the fun of playing in the snow in midsummer.
About 30 kilometers away from Dushanzi City, there is a Grand Canyon with magical scenery, which is Dushanzi Grand Canyon. Snow water and rainwater from the Tianshan Mountains flow through here to form alluvial gullies, and cliffs are carved out of the valley walls. The high-altitude prince Adili once performed the high-altitude canyon Dawazi here.
The large plate chicken in Xinjiang is the most authentic in Shawan. A plate of large plate chicken costs 60 yuan. In addition to chicken, you can also eat sandy sweet potatoes, fresh green peppers, red peppers, green onions and ginger slices, as well as noodles.

After eating the big plate chicken in Shawan, we arrived in Urumqi as scheduled.
The evening scenery of Urumqi
Punch in the Xinjiang International Grand Bazaar!
Bazaar is a Uighur language, meaning a market, a farmer's market. The International Grand Bazaar in Xinjiang is the largest grand bazaar in the world, integrating Islamic culture, architecture, ethnic commerce, entertainment, and catering. It is the "window of Xinjiang", "the window of Central Asia" and "the window of the world".
There are many merchants and shops here, and all kinds of special delicacies in Xinjiang can be found here.
D13, Urumqi, return journey
At 8:30 in the morning, the people of Xinjiang have already started their vigorous work and life. Urumqi, a remote metropolis, is still busy with pick-up and drop-off. We sleep until we wake up naturally. After breakfast, the unforgettable Xinjiang is coming to an end. Tour around the world.
Time flies. What makes me reluctant to part is not only the delicious food and beautiful scenery here, but also the unexpected encounters in the aimless. The distance traveled, the beautiful scenery I have enjoyed, and the personnel and events I have experienced these days are all a profound journey. How many books have I read, how many documentaries I have watched, and the journey of thousands of kilometers before I have a little understanding of Xinjiang. Even so, I am content with my journey in life.
Xinjiang, I am used to being misunderstood - chaotic, dangerous, high anti-rebellion... As everyone knows, the safety factor here is so high that you dare not hide a fruit knife in the car, and every service security checkpoint has a special police officer with outstanding looks Brother smiles at you; but Xinjiang people who live in the three mountains and two basins never know what high-defense is, and it is a bit difficult to think of high-defense!
Xinjiang is used to being praised - the vast and remote Xinjiang has created Xinjiang people who are generous and open-minded in their bones. The unrestrained and unrestrained grazing with whips, the leisurely and free-spirited galloping across the border; the Uighur and Kazakh girls who are good at singing and dancing;
The road ahead is long and the scenery is wonderful. I only wish that I am the bird without feet, flying in the wind, in front of the unknown, until the end of life.
The return journey is the journey, the wings that carry me to my hometown, where will the next stop be?
The books I have read in this life do not teach me more than a journey. The blooming of a mountain flower is more in line with the expectations of the season. Every inch of time left in this life is worth wasting and cherishing. shorter than a lifetime.
I have never been to Xinjiang, I long for Xinjiang, I have been to Xinjiang, and I miss Xinjiang even more! The mountains and mountains in Xinjiang are picturesque, and I have deep feelings and longings. I would like to enter Xinjiang again and read the autumn and winter fairy tales of these mountains and rivers!
