In order to visit the village of the Rob people comfortably and easily, we set off from Korla at 8:00 in the morning (because of the rotation of the earth, Xinjiang usually doesn’t get up until 8 o’clock, which is a big topic!) We set off from Korla at 10:45 Left and right reached the scenic spot.

The Luobu village is located 35 kilometers southwest of Yuli County and 85 kilometers south of Korla City. The village covers an area of ​​72 square kilometers and has more than 20 households. It is one of the largest villages in western China. It belongs to the Qiongkule Ranch and is a paradise inhabited by the Rob people. The village area covers the Taklimakan Desert, wandering lakes, the Tarim River, primitive Populus euphratica forest, grasslands and the Rob people. The largest desert, the Taklamakan Desert, the longest inland river, the Tarim River, the largest green corridor, the Tarim Corridor, and the Silk Road meet here, forming a natural landscape of golden quality.

I bought a ticket at the visitor center, and the ticket is 40+15 yuan for the interval bus.

From here, we took a bus to the inside of the scenic spot. Later, we were lucky to come early. There were long queues at the entrance of the scenic spot and the midway station under the sun. The scenic spot also arranged a tourist bus to pick up tourists from the outside, and the parking lot outside was not full. up.

After about 10 minutes, arrive at Abdan Square, take a short rest and transfer to a battery car. Abudan means a good place for the Rob people to settle.

Sitting on the battery car, I saw different scenery along the way, and sheep passed by.

Stop at the Goddess Lake Scenic Area, surrounded by the desert.

The two sand dunes pass through the azure lake, coupled with the unpolluted blue sky and white clouds, it is refreshing!

The surrounding trestle bridges are equipped with sun-shading pavilions, which opened my mind. Westward travelers and lovers say goodbye here; Silk Road merchants take a rest here with their camels; …

Thanks to the nourishment of the lake, reeds grew on the sandy land by the lake.

We decided to turn over the dunes and experience the feeling of hiking in the desert.

Climbing to the top of the sand dunes, there is a continuous, pale yellow world.

Some bear children deliberately rolled down from the sandy slope and had a good time.

Then take the battery car to the next stop, walking through the desert, occasionally there are Populus euphratica forests, small rivers, small lakes, and groups of livestock.

After a while, the driver found out that he had passed, which confirmed the words of a child in the car "lost", but let us enjoy a little more scenery. Then I came back to the entrance of the Rob people's village. Many tourists have gathered here, and they can ride camels, ride sand buggies, fish, boat, eat grilled fish and so on.

This oasis has dense forests, wide pictures, and lively crowds, making you forget that you are in the desert.

Here is a video.

The next step is to cross the Tarim River, the largest inland river in China.

This is a relatively narrow suspension bridge connecting the opposite bank.

After crossing the river, you came to the center of the village, which is like a paradise, as if time is cut off here, without being disturbed.

Next to it is a compound with the largest barbecue pit in the Western Region, surrounded by barbecue stalls, and the business is booming.

This is an ancient grilled fish. It is cut open along the belly of the fish but the spine is connected. The fish is flattened with thin red willow branches, as if new ribs are inserted. One end of the thick red willow branch passes through the fish spine, and the other end is inserted in the In the sand. It looks like a fish with spread wings bent the red willow, just baked by a small pile of burning populus euphratica.

Grilled fish is 100 yuan a piece, and barbecue meat is 10 yuan a skewer. We ordered a grilled fish and 20 skewers of meat. The stall owner is still very enthusiastic. It still tastes delicious.

After satisfying our hunger, we walked out. Unexpectedly, it was the Abdan Square in front, which meant that the tour was over.

This is a worthwhile trip. For the first time, I experienced the scenery of deserts, oases, Populus euphratica forests, and inland rivers. If the time is right, come to enjoy the golden Populus euphratica forest in autumn, and the world will be more beautiful then.
