It turns out that China can also be described as having a vast land and few people;
It turns out that China can also be praised by emptying thousands of miles;
If you don’t go to Xinjiang, you don’t know how big China is;
If you don’t go to Xinjiang, you don’t know how beautiful China is;
Great America Xinjiang
A visual gluttonous feast, sweeping away the tiredness of the 8-day journey,
Even the best photographer can't fully describe her beauty
The beautiful scenery along the way attracted me to stare out the car window,
I can't bear to blink,
Afraid of missing a tiny bit,
Go to Kanas Lake to see the sun and snow~
Go to Nalati grassland to graze~
Go to Bayinbulak to enjoy the nine bends and eighteen bends of the sunset~
Record the most beautiful Xinjiang with eyes and heart
Keep happiness in your heart...
foreword
Life is short, you have to try everything, because you only have one life, you can't do it again, don't waste your life as a "human", go where your heart wants to go. This year I quit my job and traveled all over China's provinces, wanting to give myself an unforgettable 30-year-old. Now I start my own business as an Alibaba women's ginseng fruit clothing factory, starting from scratch. As long as we want to do something, it is never too late. If we can live to be 80 years old, we still have 50 years to do this thing. I believe we can all do it well, as long as we take this step.
"Chartered Car"
I got to know Brother Temujin through a friend’s introduction. My friend went to the grassland in the summer of 2016 and Temujin personally received him. Temujin can undertake Russia’s Lake Baikal and Hulun Buir Grassland free travel. I am very grateful to Brother Tie for his company these days. The guy born in the 1980s is very honest and took good care of us all the way. He not only acts as a tour guide but also a babysitter for us. He is also a backpacker, a hander of water, and even takes pictures of us. He is very careful and wants to go to Xinjiang. Friends can contact Brother Tie
About the itinerary
I was in a hurry for 9 days, so I chose to charter a car to travel. The general itinerary is like this: Urumqi-Nalati-Qiaxi-Kurdening-Zhaosu-Xiata-Yining-Salimu Lake-Horgos Port - Jieyou Princess Lavender - Tukai Desert
About security issues
Personally, I feel that there are bad people everywhere. This time, I feel that Xinjiang people are very enthusiastic. They have many ethnic groups, mainly Uyghurs (generally low cultural level), Han (all immigrants), Kazakhs, and Hui. There is still a bit of taboo between ethnic groups, and the Uighurs over there are relatively independent.
About the route
Basically, there are 3 lines to play, according to your own time, suitable for the season to play. 1. North Xinjiang loop line, half a month is recommended, 2. Yili line 7-10 days, 3. South Xinjiang line. Personally, I think June is suitable for Ili, and autumn is suitable for Kanas. There are mainly several ways to play in Xinjiang: chartered car plus driver. If you want to save money, you can go with a group, if you want to be comfortable and free, you can charter a car. I always sleep late and relax.
requires attention
1. The temperature difference between morning and evening is very large, 8 to 30 degrees, remember to bring some cold medicine, the body is the capital of the game, go in June, you need to bring a jacket, the scenic spot is very cold, the urban area is very hot, activities start at 10 am, 2 am The sun is on the head, and it gets dark at 11 o'clock in the evening, so the time to play is very long. 2. There is no mobile phone signal in many scenic spots, and it is normal to lose contact. 3. The staple food is mainly pasta and rice, so there is no noodles for breakfast, hahaha! Dizzy vegetables are basically mutton and beef. I am not used to eating mutton. I feel that everything is mutton, and only roasted mutton can be eaten. 4. The climate in Xinjiang is very dry. Those who live in coastal cities are not used to it, and their nose and throat are uncomfortable. Eat more fruits and drink more water, and bring enough facial masks! 5. Don't mention pork. It's called big meat over there, and Muslims don't eat it. 6. Friends who want to drive by themselves should pay attention to speeding. The speed measurement is a set time from one point to another point, not the kind of mobile speed measurement. 7. Be careful not to park on the Guozigou Bridge, 12 points will be deducted! When we went, some friends parked there, but it was a pity that the 12 points were gone. 8. Xinjiang is really big, and it may take a day between each scenic spot. Don't think about finishing it all at once, it's impossible!
Having said so much, let's start the trip, and the photo of Xiao Er's beauty can be uploaded! On the first night, I went to Urumqi to take a rest. The big meal was served first, and the father of Apple performed at the restaurant, and I was dragged to dance. It was so enthusiastic.
It's okay to see a handsome guy.
He walked a tightrope at the age of 6 and broke the Guinness Book of Records. Eat and drink enough, sleep.
Flying to Nalati early the next morning, Temujin picked us up at the airport, we are coming to Xinjiang. . .
Is the breakfast taste heavy?
Have enough energy to play.
There are 3 scenic spots in Nalati, and the fare inside is independent. I lost my phone on the first day of playing, so there are only a few photos of the most beautiful Nalati, which is a pity.
Xinjiang's special baked buns, with mutton inside, don't try it if you are not used to it.
Dapanji Xinjiang specialties should be eaten, they are all free-range, hahaha
Naan! It’s so dirty and delicious, Xinjiang is a place that doesn’t grow hair.
Shelf meat, this is delicious, you must try it, and the price of Nalati is much cheaper than Yining.
It's already 10 o'clock in the evening when Na Lati came out for a stroll, just in time to watch the sunset
On the third day, go to Charsi, Kurdening, stop by a river to take pictures.
The scenery along the way is very good.
After walking a few steps, I couldn't help but start again.
When I went to Qiaxi, I happened to meet herds, and I was very enthusiastic to ask me to take pictures of him.
The food at noon is Sichuan cuisine, cold water, it feels like a waste of this cooking method.
On the way to Kurdenin
This is dinner, eaten in the yurt.
Sleeping in a yurt at night, to be honest, it smells like sheep. We are in the off-season, it is freezing cold, three beds are covered with three beds, there is no toilet, no hot water, only a light bulb, and the conditions are very difficult.
I happened to meet a Uighur kindergarten teacher camping and warmly invited us to dance together.
On the fourth day, stroll around Kurdening.
This is the scene when I wake up in the morning and open my eyes. The skylight is so bright, it really uses the sky as the quilt and the earth as the furnace.
The special breakfast is very valuable. All sauces are handmade by themselves.
2 boring girls.
You can drink tea on it.
On the fifth day in Zhaosu, take pictures of the beautiful scenery along the way.
A flock of sheep just stood in front of us and refused to leave, so domineering.
So domineering.
It's a bit embarrassing to eat a pacifier at such a big age.
This is not egg soup, this is the original milk tea with milk skin, the taste is salty. It feels weird to be used to sweets.
I actually ate the miraculous maocai, which tasted very authentic.
Curb started again.
Lu Yu CCTV took pictures, it is estimated that it was a viewfinder.
There is basically no signal when entering the Xiata Scenic Area.
The lower tower is the closest place to the snow-capped mountains. It's too cold, and it feels like the sun is on the head.
In fact, it was already freezing cold at that time. All the friends together put on down jackets, and I also wore a sleeveless one. I also worked hard to take pictures.
The Yizhao Highway on the way back to Yining from the tower, the scenery along the way is more beautiful than the 5A scenic spot, from the grassland to the snow-capped mountains, to the Baishi Peak.
There are also cattle herding on the snow mountain.
It was already evening in Yining, and the Hanren Street Night Market started, and the taste was still very authentic.
Sheep lungs don't feel like eating.
The soup is so fresh!
Honey and milk without any additives.
Red willow mutton skewers are only available in Xinjiang, but the difference is the stick, hehe.
Hand pilaf.
On the 6th day, walk around Yining city and take a rest.
I heard that this breakfast is quite famous.
Do a horse-drawn carriage tour.
Housing has a European style.
"Girl dolls only eat duck claws" said silently, men don't eat this, hahaha!
dinner!
Son Baby Pepper Chicken
I forgot what this is called, there are 9 dishes, from the first to the last, the taste will be different.
sheep neck
I heard that it was specially given to us, and the 2 waiters stood next to them and said a lot of blessings, and the situation scared me a bit.
Day 6 - Sailimu Lake + Horgos Port
Niu Niu is still wandering on the highway.
Via Guozigou Bridge
It's a pity that there is no sunshine in Sailimu today.
In the afternoon, I watched people from Xinjiang get married, and those who got married there went to Yili River, 8-10 pm.
This is a Uighur. Can the groom wear green?
Bridesmaids, wait for the dancing.
This is Kazakh.
The best man danced so hard.
This bride is more beautiful, but her husband is too stingy to take a picture.
I can't move when I see a handsome guy, hahaha
The beauty is also good, hahaha
Day 7 Anxiety Princess Lavender
In the afternoon, we plan to open the desert, which is actually the Gobi. Brother Temujin helped us find an award-winning off-road expert. We watched videos before, but this time I tried it myself. It felt like a roller coaster.
On the 8th day, Yining rested and went shopping. . .
Hui Courtyard Restaurant
It looks very high-end, the consumption can be high, it scares the baby to death
I feel a little uncomfortable with eating. I ordered a lot, and the fried rice is more suitable for my appetite.
On the last day, I went shopping in Urumqi. When I arrived in Urumqi, I was slaughtered all the way, and the taxi detoured. The 5 yuan drink sold us 20 yuan, crying to death. I was slaughtered all the way to buy some small gifts. I was warned not to buy things in the Grand Bazaar. It was too bad. Urumqi felt mediocre.
Just look at it.
In this way, the days from opening your eyes to playing until dark are over. The beauty of Xinjiang is majestic. Any photo can be used as a computer desktop. The rolling hillsides are green, and scattered cattle and sheep are grazing on the top of the mountain. , At first glance, I thought it was a colorful stone, and the beautiful scenery along the way did not give up blinking. Except for the people in Urumqi who are very simple and enthusiastic, the law and order is very good now, and tanks can be seen on the road. The scenery in Xinjiang is relatively rich, with grasslands, forests, snow-capped mountains, lakes, and deserts. You don’t need to go abroad to enjoy Xinjiang. Xinjiang is still relatively closed now. Various reasons have led to a somewhat isolated state in Xinjiang. To paraphrase Temujin's words, "Xinjiang is not a place with free shipping!" The Japanese did not dare to hit Xinjiang. There are still many undeveloped places there, and the people there call us from the mainland. The scenery in Xinjiang and Tibet belong to the same category, but the conditions in Xinjiang are not as difficult as in Tibet, which left me with many good memories, a place that must be visited in my life!
