The strong fake is not flawed, forcing people to fight the scene. The order is in Baizang, and it is advisable to travel westward. You may be tired if you realize the fan cage, and you will live far away if you feel lost.
I have been calling Kashgar Airport to inquire about the opening time of landing. The previous policy was to quarantine on the spot for seven to fourteen days after landing. After learning that you can enter, you immediately booked your flight ticket and accommodation on Ctrip.
After landing in Kashgar on this trip, we plan to book a car in two or three days, apply for a border defense certificate and visit the ancient city, and then drive to Karakuri Lake in the Pamirs and then turn back. It is not planned that Kashgar will go further south to Ta County. First, it is not the season of apricot blossoms. Second, the remaining ruins are not what I like. Third, the journey is too far and difficult to reach by self-driving.
Many areas in Xinjiang and Qinghai have already explored Li, and there is not much left. The original plan was to Bachu Red Sea Populus euphratica forest, whose leaves are not yet yellow, and the season is out of season, so the two-day itinerary of Kashgar was shortened, and Qinghai Chaka and Kumbum Monastery were added to make up after Kashgar. Just put together an itinerary.
On the first day, I took off to Kashgar in the afternoon. The picture shows the Kunlun Mountains.
It was dark. The rate is pulled to the exhibition center for free nucleic acid testing, saving taxi fares and compensating for the time-consuming.
Arrive at the B&B in the center of the ancient city after nightfall local time. The owner of the homestay picks up from the exhibition center. The homestay is located in the center of the ancient city, in Gaziniqi Lane near Caibaza and Oil Painting Street, which is a homestay street.
It is close to the open road, which is convenient for carrying luggage, and it is adjacent to the Grand Mosque and the century-old teahouse.
Open the door and bow to the mountain, and turn back at any time, which is convenient for walking lightly and avoiding the labor of cars.
The homestay has suffered for many days, and dust has been generated for a long time. The host from Anhui upgraded the room for us and placed it in two rooms. The boss is always responsive, attentive and friendly. When we checked out, we also reciprocated, don't let your heart be cold. The rooms are laid out in Uighur style, with exotic decorations to cater to your heart.
The next day, it was dawn at eight o'clock, and there were few pedestrians and vehicles on the street at half past nine.
Looking for breakfast, too long. In the ancient city, I have not found a restaurant opened by Han people, so I guess the fishy smell cannot be tolerated. The local people's breakfast was too dry to swallow, and the fires were not lit until ten o'clock.
Finally found a Western-style breakfast near the South Gate, with milk as a side dish.
The nearby parking lot is also used as a car rental parking spot by us.
Later, I went around here for an hour and didn't wait for a parking space. I became angry and simply returned the car in advance.
Go to the caravan camp to apply for a pass. It is farther than the airport. The taxi fare is 28 yuan one way. It is best to arrange a taxi to wait. There are few people and cars. It is free to apply for a permit. In the off-season, I got No. 65 at 11:00 in the morning. I queued for 20 minutes. There are more than 100 people in the whole day. It is said that it takes two to three hours to queue in peak season. In principle, the pass is valid within three months, but ours expires after five days, and the person who issued the permit did not ask, and it happened to be the date of departure from Kashgar. Big data management is in place.
The ancient city of Kashgar is divided into two parts. The road in front of the Id Kah Mosque in the middle is divided into two parts. All kinds of vehicles are prohibited from passing through the ancient city.
Occasionally, bicycles or tourist buses can be seen, but no trolleys or bullock carts, scooter for the elderly, or motorcycles.
When crossing two districts, the pass code must be checked N times. Auxiliary police continued to persuade people to wear masks, except for those taking pictures and eating. Universal electronic payment.
The Internet speed is good and bad, but not lower than 2.4G. Auxiliary policemen on the street and restaurant waiters can basically communicate in Chinese, and most of them do not speak Chinese. Asking the way should be to Xiaotong,
The smiling face looks up to others, and the speaking is half-baked, which arouses pity.
The gates and walls of ancient city houses are exaggerated in color, in Arabic style,
Bricks are paved on the sandy soil on the ground (horizontal paving is a dead path, and oblique paving is a thoroughfare, but I have seen ones between the two, which are suspected to be done by cynics, or it is a gimmick), and there is a couch outside the door.
Houses with flat roofs and railings, corridors on the second floor, bricks on the exterior walls of civilian houses coated with grass mud for sun protection,
Low lintels and narrow alleys; hairpin tassels, Yutang Broad Street, and the exterior walls are paved with prefabricated carved facade bricks, highlighting the Byzantine tradition.
Several tall mansions are under construction and will be opened to the outside world in a few years.
On the third day, continue to wander the ancient city.
The Id Kah Mosque is said to be the largest mosque in the country (it feels like there should be a bigger mosque),
The minaret was towering, and there was no reading of scriptures or street worship during the period.
The Uighurs are benevolent and honest, with a carefree heart.
The business is solid, the words are true, and the food prices are friendly and pleasant.
Compared with Jiangnan and South China, which is rich in specialties, it is especially admirable.
The business field of Han people and Uighurs, Zisu Jingwei (except for the Grand Bazaar,
The Uyghurs there learned to be slick, and they thought they were high-ranking, and some offered prices that were twice as expensive as the ancient city tourist market).
The car rented from Ctrip was very kind, and the car was delivered in advance the night before, and the fee remained the same, so that tourists can travel early next day. It is planned to return on the same day, and the itinerary is too tight. In the wilderness, there are very few people, so night mooring should be avoided.
On the fourth day, I felt refreshed and set off on the road, only to find that the car would not start, but the car was delivered the day before yesterday. The phone prompts people to change cars, the future is at the pinnacle, there are no people, and the car is broken down halfway, it's just hard. The shopkeeper explained the reason for the time difference, and if it takes three hours to change the car, he vowed that he would not turn off the engine. Kashgar is not big, and after an hour, we will take a line to solve it, get up early, and catch the evening market. I was worried all the way, I didn't want the shopkeeper's nonsense to become a prophecy, and I went on as usual all the way.
Upal is the largest town before going up the mountain. It is rich in fruits, which are sweet and different. I bought some for the road.
Along the way, I was catching up with the army truck team on the same road, overtaking more than 30 vehicles one after another. When queuing at checkpoints, military convoys are exempted from inspection and then come forward again. There is not much time, and I don't want to be drowned on the road. The mountain road is rugged and dangerous, and I have to overtake again.
The line at the checkpoint in the off-season is more than 20 minutes, and it is said that it takes two to three hours in the peak season, and the itinerary is even more difficult. Only the driver was left in the car, and the rest got off and crossed the border on foot.
Pamir Plateau, where the Himalayas, Kunlun Mountains, Karakorum Mountains, Tianshan Mountains, and Hindu Kush Mountains converge,
The strange peaks stand tall, the mountains are majestic,
Cliffs and strange peaks, with different expressions, the mountain road is rough, twists and turns,
All the way to linger, the scenery is endless.
Before the trip, many people in the local area and on the Internet said that the speed limit on the road was 60 (so I booked a LaVida and paid for the Bora), and if I exceeded it, I would be fined heavily. Drive carefully, don't dare to Meng Lang. Looking back, the road to heaven is far away from the wilderness, and the mountains often have landslides and landslides. Where can we get electricity and cameras? Guess that others are kind enough to warn, the road is rough, rescue is difficult, travel is fun, and life is not beautiful. The illegal deposit was not deducted when renting a car, indicating that fines rarely occur.
When we arrived at Karakule Lake, it was already noon, and the fee was 45 yuan per person, and no tickets were given.
There are no tourists around, and you can enjoy the good scenery and the good scenery alone, and let the waves go as you like. All service facilities are closed, and the original plan is to eat on the spot. Fortunately, there was a little bread left in the morning, which was right for lunch.
Overlooking the snow-capped mountains, its peaks are covered with snow, just like floating clouds. In front of the peak, there is a mountain of clouds on the wall, and there are stones and rocks.
There is a lake in front of the mountain, which reflects the snow-capped mountains, and it is interesting to look up. The wind and scenery are bright, the water is clear, and the mountains are picturesque. The mountains and shadows hang down, the green water is the text, and the shape of the place is beautiful.
Go back to the extreme, pass by Baisha Lake, there are two parking places in the north and south, ten miles apart, the south is less crowded and the scenery is more beautiful, the two places share one ticket, and the fee is 40. This is the White Sand Mountain where the sand monk is the demon,
Near Xiubulunkou Reservoir, the river becomes a lake, and the waves suddenly disappear.
Looking at the mountain, there are black matter and white sand, mist and light, no vegetation, flowers and birds, and there is a trace of rest. The lake water in front of the mountain collects the light from the sky and is colored blue,
It's as quiet as clear, as if it's outside. Lakes and mountains do not increase or decrease, neither dirty nor clean, like the other shore. When the mountain is facing the lake, I think about Xu Xie, clear my mind, and come out calmly.
On the way home, the sun is shining brightly, and there is a temporary stop area at the scenic spots on the roadside.
For rest.
Along the way, there are layers of snow peaks, steep cliffs,
Or the cliffs are dangerous, the mountains are only rocks, and the walls stand thousands of feet high,
Looking up dazzled,
Majestic and majestic, with different expressions.
The original plan for the return trip was Oytag Glacier Park, but it was too late, and I returned home after leaving. The mountain road was winding and rugged, and I didn’t want to come back the next day. Kuang Daguan grasps the situation, regardless of the small environment, fearing that the mountains and rivers will be restored, and the joy will be lost.
Nearly three o'clock, and then to the town of Upar,
Start lunch. Return to the ancient city before dark.
On the fifth day, drive to Xiangfei Tomb. In recent years, the planners have suggested a routine, encircling the tomb and prohibiting individual visits to the Xiangfei Tomb. It has finally become a cultural performance scenic spot, with more singing and dancing performances, creating employment and increasing added value.
The off-season ticket is 120 yuan, and 78 yuan is given for the song and dance performance of Xiangfei plot. Tickets for peak season are 198 yuan, including 78 yuan for singing and dancing performances.
The building of the Xiangfei family tomb itself is a historical relic, with a Central Asian style, with a towering vault, covered with glass, and an interior chalk wall extending to the top, solemn and solemn. No gold, silver and jade objects are used inside or outside the tomb, and the corpse is wrapped in plain cloth, and there is no burial, and there is no danger of robbery.
The ancient mosque in the garden is a grand sight. The algae pillars used are simple in color and hidden from the world. It has the style of shamanism. Few tourists. Although the door is set, it is always closed.
Push the door and enter, cover the door, but are still found by the guards and thrown out.
Mutton rice outside the scenic spot, fat but not greasy, no smell, the price is 20.
After returning to the ancient city, we circled repeatedly for an hour, but there was no parking space. Simply drive to the Grand View Garden of the Knights,
You can eat while watching the singing and dancing, but it's too early, and the singing and dancing will start at 19 o'clock. Reluctant to stand up.
After returning the car (renting a car for two days costs 427 yuan, refueling 170 yuan, parking 50 yuan) and then visit the ancient city of Yan.
There is a snack street in the ancient city, where you can eat while walking.
The food is clean and the variety is rich,
Return in disgust.
On the sixth day, pack up your luggage, go to the pigeon soup street on the edge of the ancient city, and combine breakfast and lunch. The pigeon soup is fresh but not greasy. It is served with lamb's feet, and it goes well with naan.
Take the plane at noon and take a taxi to the airport (the store is in the afternoon during the day, only pick up but not drop off). Transfer to Xining via Urumqi for 2 hours. When I was waiting in Kashgar, there was a middle-aged woman on the opposite side, with half-worn clothes and unkempt face, squinting at the side, listening to her child crawling on the ground, crying and grabbing food. After landing, the quarantine personnel boarded the plane and found that the child had a high fever, which involved the entire plane staying in place for an hour and a half for various investigations, inquiries, registrations, and instructions. Scratch the cheeks and drop the beard. After Xu left the warehouse, he staggered and ran. Need to go through security checks, bags are in a mess, dragging boxes and bags, stepping on kicks and jumping away. Fortunately, China Southern Airlines will take care of you throughout the journey. Boarded the plane and flew away, but the checked luggage was not enough to flow in, so I chased him the next day.
Those who can be picked up at selected residences around Xining Airport before departure. Negotiated the three-day itinerary and price, totaling 1,500 yuan, and I will pay for refueling, board and lodging (final settlement is about 2,600 yuan/three days).
The driver Xiao Zhu from Xining came to pick up the plane and arranged to live in his apartment building. Just after washing, the woman downstairs came up and made a big noise, saying that the water had leaked into her house, and talked about the history, so she had no time to listen, so she called Xiao Zhu. deal with.
On the seventh day, the first stop in Xining is Longwu Temple, 160 kilometers away, which is a niche attraction and no tourists are seen. The temple belongs to the Sakya sect of Tibetan Buddhism.
Later, he transferred to the Gelug sect, which has a long history and a high status. Photography is prohibited inside the temple. Strangers stopped at the gate, 60 yuan/person, acceptable, to help incense. Free for locals. When I entered the gate, I saw several other people entering the temple. Among them was a thin and small woman who was hiding behind the fluttering robe of the big fat lama. She looked up and asked in a low voice: Do you want to buy a ticket? The lama didn't look at him wrongly, and muttered without moving his mouth: No, follow me.
Longwu Temple is located in Longwu Ancient Town, and there are scattered temples and halls, some of which are under construction, and there are leaks in all directions, but strangers don't know it.
Temples have a vast number of Buddhist gates and benefit all sentient beings. They should not accept tickets and reject people thousands of miles away.
If tickets are collected from tourists, they are allowed to take pictures.
After returning to the airport to pick up the checked luggage, the local special meal eaten in Haidong County: Potato with Vegetables and Zuo Tuan Jin Jin (solid giant glutinous rice balls with miscellaneous grain noodles and side dishes)
At thirteen o'clock, go straight to Chaka. The driver is willing to take the high speed. The free provincial road is actually parallel and at the same speed, and it is closer to the beautiful scenery of the Qaidam Basin.
Passing by the landscape commemorating the Queen Mother, I think it is the place where she lived in Kunlun Mountains, and there is probably Nine Heavens Xuannv as her side. According to textual research, the ancestors of the Han people migrated from Myanmar to the north to the Qilian Mountains, and then to the Yellow River Basin in the east. The ancients called it Tianshan, and it was here. The time is tight and there is no stopping.
After arriving at Chaka at 17 o'clock, the driver's cousin worked locally and took him to a local restaurant to order ribs and chicken, which was a random stew of ribs and chicken, with steamed small steamed rolls as the staple food. The boss saw that the cousin was wearing the uniform of the local road administration, and said in a low voice that you can eat a small portion, 138 yuan. Later, I saw me with a Beijing accent, dressed as a tourist, sitting in the main seat, and my cousin in the tail seat. The boss first chatted a few words, and then yelled at the kitchen: a small chicken ribs, 188 yuan. The driver introduced that local restaurants always have yin and yang menus, but they serve different menus for locals and tourists, and for a moment I miss the humble Uyghurs very much. Later, I saw a large pot of meat and vegetables served,
Amount for six people (my cousin doesn’t eat, my wife only counts as half a person’s food intake, the driver said he was not hungry, and then he and his cousin got together for a drink, and more than half of the old dishes were left, packed for breakfast the next day and thrown away,), The price is still much lower than that in Beijing, and Sier has accepted the tricks of the locals.
During the meeting, I asked my cousin about the time and entrance of the scenic spots. My cousin was self-respecting and refused to say that he didn't know. He said that the service area was newly built, and both scenic spots need to take a bus from the service area. The next morning, I discovered the truth: Sky One has its own parking lot, no need for bus transportation, and you can walk to the entrance of the scenic spot. I have lived in Beijing all my life, so if you ask me about the parking lot at the East Gate of the Forbidden City, I don't know. So don't be stunned.
In fact, people seldom travel locally, and the essence of tourism is far away. Going deeper, from a philosophical or psychological point of view, the places that can be reached are not far away. Pure and free, idealistic and far away.
The residence in Chaka Xincheng is simple and clean.
Bath towels need to be ordered separately, it is said that guests mostly use them to wipe the floor. The plug can be used after being repaired without electricity. After the nozzle is replaced without water, it is as thin as a drop. The sheets and quilts are newly changed, which is the most important point. When booking the room, the owner probably thought I was insane to my question and kept silent for a long time. Later, I learned that an owner was in charge of dozens of beds, was always in charge of affairs, and asked some questions. Although the other party was enthusiastic, I couldn't bear to disturb him.
On the eighth day, arrive at Chaka Scenic Area. In order to generate income and employment, the local area has newly built a service area. The bus costs 30 yuan, and it leads from the service area to the gate. The ticket plus the small train is 98 yuan. When I arrived at Sky One, I found that there is also a parking area. If you drive there directly, you will be exempted from the 30 yuan bus fee. The small train has more than ten stations according to the picture, and only four stations are opened in the off-season, and the price remains unchanged. My heart is calm, and I have no complaints: I have lost the oiran, so why be greedy.
The driver said he drank too much the day before and wanted to sleep by himself in the car. It is inconvenient to carry a bag in the lake, so the bag that has never left the body is put in the car. I got on the bus and left, feeling a little uneasy in my heart.
The weather is not good, and the salt lake is cloudy and rainy. My cousin said the day before yesterday that the reflection of the blue sky and white clouds needs to be clear, no wind, no people, no waves, very few opportunities, nothing in a hundred. To put it bluntly, opportunities are as rare as sages in the crowd. No one has one item, which is almost impossible. As soon as the scenic spot opened, we entered.
The salt lake is far away from the sky and the land is wide, the wind and clouds stand still, the water heart and cloud shadows,
Only the two of us, the swallows are detached, resting peacefully and guarding ease, moving almost to the emptiness, and galloping outside. The mind is in a place of pure tranquility and emptiness, and suddenly I see tourist buses coming one after another, crowds of people swarming, chattering loudly, clamoring for east and west, rushing north and south. The two of us got into the small train, urging to go quickly, but the train driver refused to send me alone.
As long as it comes, it will be safe. The world is bright and clear, and it is often diffused. Fortunately, the wind was strong and the weather was strong, everyone was dressed lightly, they couldn't stay long, they didn't care about the scenery, they left hastily, chasing another scene.
Although there is no reflection in the salt lake, it is as clean as jasper. The sky is dark and cloudy, and the jade beads under the water add light.
The sky was not sunny, but it was also not raining, which was considered virtuous, otherwise I would have been in a terrible embarrassment.
When I entered, there was no one there. When I came out, there were nearly 30 tourist buses and nearly 100 small cars. This is the case in the off-season, and it is a brain supplement in the peak season.
Came out of the salt lake by the gloomy wind, wanted to eat some hot food before going on the road. I chose a Lanzhou beef noodle restaurant in a row of restaurants outside the scenic spot. There seemed to be magic in the shop. No one found that the menu on the wall has no price (because the menu on the wall has only pictures but no price, she was slaughtered by a weak woman in Lijiang. Her husband was holding a knife in the back kitchen and peeping through the curtain. Remember from now on: when you go out, Look at the price first. Priceless stores are basically black stores). When the beef noodles were served, I found two or three pieces of paper-thin beef floating on the surface, and immediately woke up and entered the black shop. The owner of the store is obviously a Han Chinese, without a white hat, squinting at the visitor, with a smile on his face that is less than the beef in the bowl. The bill was 80 yuan, which was 30 to 40 yuan more expensive than the psychological price.
From Chaka on the road to Qinghai Lake, 20 kilometers before the service point of the scenic spot marked on the map, a woman once opened a hole on the side of the road (basically surrounded by iron nets) leading to the lake.
You can take pictures by the lake after twenty miles. The scenery by the lake is roughly the same, without the address, it is difficult to distinguish. Gaodi by the lake, looking down, is the best view.
One or two kilometers across the icon scenic spot from west to east, there are rapeseed flowers, which are golden in color and set against the blue lake, for people to take pictures. Several Tibetan gatekeepers shouted at me ten yuan and twenty yuan at the same time. I pointed to the one who shouted ten yuan and said, I only heard the price he said, and I couldn’t hear the others. The Tibetan smiled and asked me to take the car outside. Also called in, no extra charge.
The original intention of going to Qinghai is tea card, and Qinghai Lake is an alternative. Chaka had a dark face, but Qinghai Lake showed a bright smile.
Leave Qinghai Lake at 16 o'clock and plan to stay in the ancient city of Dangar. The driver needs to use the mobile phone to talk. I use my mobile phone to navigate and choose to avoid the expressway and go to the Hudong Provincial Highway. The lake view is on the left, the mountain is on the right, the mountain is facing the stream, the river is deep and wide,
Sometimes the yellow thatch and green grass stretch as far as the eye can see; sometimes the chaotic peaks cut into the sky, and the wind and rain live on it; From time to time, when the wind and rain storm arrives, the clouds and mists are dark, the sky and the earth cannot be distinguished, and the mountains, rivers and lakes are all lost. All the way from the low lakes and deserts in the basin to the plateau and valley quickly, tens of kilometers, passing through different landforms inside and outside the basin.
Arriving at the ancient city of Dangar, it is already staggered with miscellaneous trees, and the road is magnificent. Passing through industrial and technological zones such as Atom City, the road condition is moderate. The terrain along the way is very different, as if Wukong is riding a cloud, or rocky and cloudy;
Or the mountains are tall and straight, meandering and stretching, changing the universe, thousands of miles away in a trance.
Overnight at the hotel outside the ancient city. Drunk guests come home at night, smashing a tall porcelain vase in the lobby, causing endless noise.
On the ninth day, walk the ancient city of Dangar for half an hour in the morning,
The ancient city of Miner, with a single street running through it,
There are only a handful of tourists, and the outside of the street is not repaired, and old things are used frequently. If it is not for modern clothing, the street looks the same as in ancient times.
Check out the meal and go to Kumbum Monastery. Tickets are seventy.
Kumbum Monastery is located in the south of the Yangtze River in the Western Regions, with rich water and grass, prosperous products, and the spirit of the land promotes outstanding people.
The temple is the birthplace of Master Tsongkhapa, so its status is second to none. Outside the temple, there are high mountains and deep valleys, and dangerous Xius enter the clouds.
The red threshold in the temple dazzles the sun, and the embroidered jue faces the wind.
The true appearance is huge and strong, which is the hope of the world.
Carved beams and powder walls, He Yi Lihua,
It is difficult to explain the difference in workmanship with gold and jade for solemn Buddhist affairs.
The wind grows in the household, and the clouds rise from the beams,
Danying is engraved with jue, which looks like an eminent monk.
The green wall and blue jacaranda are slim and stretching.
Photography is allowed outside the temple, but strictly prohibited inside the temple. All the monks in the temple were peaceful and focused, chanting bay leaves in a low voice, like mosquitoes and thunder. Entering the temple with a mobile phone, as soon as he raised his hand, he suddenly heard thunder exploding out of thin air, which was frightening. There were crowds of people inside and outside the temple, but the car, Xu Shizhi's small car, squirmed among the crowd and stopped at the temple wall.
After leaving the temple, the driver disdained the old ruins of the ancient city of Dangar, and proposed to have a meal, visit and wait in the ancient town of Pinganyi near the airport, and was full of praise for the new design of Pinganyi. This is a newly added scenic spot, which is not in the plan, and I still have spare time, so I am happy to go there.
After arriving at the back, it is known that it is a newly built antique building complex.
Like a newborn with an old face, like the old man Dangar with wrinkled face, there should be two kinds of landscapes.
Xining Airport treats Beijing guests preferentially. Both the counter and the security check have a single channel, making it easy to pass through. It was midnight when I returned home from Beijing.
