Xinjiang is a good place. Speaking of Xinjiang, you may think of many things, such as the beautiful Tianshan Mountains, the graceful dancing posture of Uyghur girls, galloping horses on the grassland, cantaloupe, raisins and lamb skewers and other delicacies. Xinjiang is located in the northwestern border of China, in the hinterland of the Eurasian continent, with a land border of 5,600 kilometers and borders with eight countries around it. It is an important passage of the ancient Silk Road. Tibet is poisonous, and Xinjiang is addictive. I have been to Xinjiang once and want to go again. Because Xinjiang is so big and beautiful, occupying one-sixth of the territory of the motherland, and its area is equivalent to 124 times that of Shanghai. Xinjiang's natural landscapes include deserts, grasslands, snow-capped mountains, lakes, canyons, Yadan landforms, and exotic cultural landscapes, as well as the mysterious Lop Nur and the ancient Loulan Kingdom. Affected by the epidemic, I have a deeper understanding that life is neither long nor short, and it is just used to take a good look at the world. I invited a few close friends to revisit the old place in Xinjiang for a journey to purify the soul. This trip not only appreciates the natural scenery of Xinjiang, but also the hospitality and simplicity of the ethnic minority compatriots. A profound experience of the living customs with strong ethnic customs.

First stop Sailimu Lake
When traveling to Xinjiang, Sailimu Lake must be visited. Sailimu Lake is located in Boertala Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture. It is the highest, largest and most beautiful alpine lake in Xinjiang. It is also the last place favored by the warm and humid Atlantic air, so there is a saying of "the last tear of the Atlantic Ocean". Some people say that if you don't go to Sailimu Lake, you don't know the beauty of the mountains and lakes. There is still some truth in this statement. Every corner of Sailimu Lake has the most beautiful colors sprinkled by nature, which makes Sailimu Lake stand out among the many beauties. The water source of Sailimu Lake mainly comes from atmospheric precipitation and mountain slope runoff around the lake. The annual precipitation around the lake area exceeds 500 mm. The lake water expenditure is mainly due to the evaporation of the lake surface and a small amount of leakage. Therefore, it is one of the lakes with the highest transparency in the country. For thousands of years, Sailimu Lake has been lying quietly among the peaks of the Tianshan Mountains. The unique blue color in the lake seems to have directly poured blue dye into the lake, shining with gem luster. It is natural and unpretentious, pure, domineering, and changes in depth and shade due to sunlight, which impresses people who have been to Sailimu Lake, and they will be amazed at a glance!
The second stop Bagua City Tekes County
Traveling to Tekes County in Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang, the most convincing thing is the layout of this county. It is built in a radial circle according to the gossip in the Book of Changes. The streets of the whole city are like a magical maze. connected by street. Therefore, Turks has become the largest Bagua city in the world, and it is the best preserved, although it has only been built for more than 80 years. The geographical location of Turks is the upper reaches of the Yili River in Xinjiang, which is called "Teks River Valley" locally. The majestic Tianshan Mountains are located in the south and north of Turks, and the Turks River brings abundant water, making Turks in the valley a livable place with rich grassland resources and developed animal husbandry. The farthest place where Taoism has spread is the former Wusun Kingdom, the most complete Bagua City, the only place in China without fixed traffic lights, and rich tourism resources.
The third stop: Qiongkushitai Village
In June, Qiongkushi Terrace has rolling hills, sparse grasslands and woods overlapping, combined with the blue sky and white clouds in the distance, it forms beautiful scenery everywhere. The sky is blue, the clouds are white, the snow-capped mountains covered in silver, the dark green forests, the light blue grasslands, and the small wooden houses on the sea of colorful flowers. Of course, the scenery along the way is also not to be missed. Almost all the houses in the village are wooden buildings, and some of them have been inhabited for more than 100 years, which is of great significance. Walking in the village, I saw cows grazing under the trees with their heads bowed, leisurely. The so-called disarming and returning to the field is nothing but the scenery. In the distance, it seems to hear the gentle bleating of cows. Such a scene should only exist in the sky, and hugging in the world is too extravagant. It is no longer necessary to describe the freshness of the air here, and even the trees are more aura than those in the city. This is a paradise far away from the world, Joan Kush Terrace, it is worth it, very worth it! Because it is hidden in the deep mountains, it is not well known to the world, there is no traffic, and there is no noise. Every cabin has its beautiful little story, mysterious and dreamy. Most of the residents of Qiongkushitai are Kazakhs. They are simple and kind, and the children are also good at singing and dancing. When the smoke rises, Qiongkushitai is awakened in the early morning. Against the backdrop of boundless grasslands, virgin forests and snow-capped mountains, the whole village is pristine and peaceful, as if in a fairy tale world.

Kurdening has the largest original spruce forest in China. The spruce trees all over the mountains stand tall and straight, climbing slopes, rolling with the mountains, and stretching continuously. Cattle and sheep are grazing quietly, and herdsmen are riding horses and whips. There are houses in the depths of the grassland, surrounded by trees, dotted with yurts, and smoke from people's cooking. The situation is like a dream. For you who have lived in the city for a long time, Kurdening is not only a yearning paradise, but also an unforgettable spiritual journey.

The ruins and exquisite cultural relics are the witnesses of the history of Kuqa. The Yadan landform here is majestic and magnificent, with myriad gestures. The plants and trees here are chic in the wind, soft and strong. The culture here blends, and men, women and children can sing Good dance.
No matter how high honor explorers such as Sven Hedin, Stein, Pelliot, Grünwedel, and Oldenburg have in the West, they are robbers in the hearts of the Chinese people. They have stolen too many documents and documents from China. Cultural relics, and because of their wanton excavation, many cultural relics that were originally preserved in the sand were destroyed. We will never forgive this kind of behavior.
