I first arrived in Turpan in May. Although it is only May, it has also entered the summer here. The streets and alleys are full of adults and children wearing short skirts and T-shirts. This is a sweet season. There are huge mulberry trees on both sides of the country road. Use heavy fruits to give people the satisfaction and happiness after harvest.

        Now that I have come to Turpan, I naturally want to visit some places. Local friends introduced me to the Huoyan Mountain Scenic Area, Kanerjingyuan·Jiaoheyi, Uygur Ancient Village, etc., because they are newly developed scenic spots in recent years, and their landscaping and new media use are impressive. Refreshing, the audition experience is really good. Let's go through them one by one.

Flaming Mountain Scenic Area

        The Flaming Mountain Scenic Area is located 30 kilometers east of Turpan City. It is recommended that you visit in the morning, because the temperature there is too high. However, if you want to really feel the enthusiasm of the Flame Mountain, you can go there at noon, where you can see the red mountain as if it is about to burn under the sun, or you can put it in the sand under the hot sun. An egg, try the Huoyanshan specialty - baked eggs! Don't have a flavor, this kind of experience is not available to everyone!

What needs to be reminded is that this scenic spot should be distinguished from the original Flame Mountain scenic spot. The Huoyan Mountain Scenic Area is a national geological park, and its content and facilities are quite advanced and rich.

The most notable feature is that there is a huge plantain fan in the parking lot, and the handle of the fan is designed as a thermometer to display the real-time temperature. I believe this scene in front of you can evoke the childhood memories of the majority of post-80s generation. Here, take a photo of an Internet celebrity holding a banana fan and post it in the circle, and you will definitely get a lot of envy.

Feel the fairy journey through the sinking tunnel, and then come to the starting point of the tunnel train. The shape of the old-fashioned train is very retro, and the children will cheer: "Together with Thomas the train"

So hey! Wooden seats, audio commentary, animation projection...

Along the way, following the changes in the storylines of Huaguo Mountain, Borrowing the Plantain Fan Three Times, and the Battle of the Bull Demon King, the landscaping on both sides of the tunnel is also constantly changing. Coupled with the perfect cooperation of sound and light, it gives people a perfect audio-visual experience. You can also watch a specially produced animation in the middle. The explanations and animations are full of jokes, and it is worth experiencing. Perhaps because it is underground, it feels very cool when taking the small train. Even though the outside is already nearly 40 degrees hot, we enjoy the comfort of an air-conditioned room in the tunnel. The short distance of 1 kilometer makes people reluctant to part.

  

After getting off the small train, we came to the Dragon Palace. The shape of the dragon is particularly conspicuous under the Flame Mountain. The dragon mouth enters and the dragon tail exits. The lighting design in the middle is very special. A circular pipe directly passes through the back of the dragon to get natural light. It can be described as environmental protection and energy saving.

 

Where there are dragons, there is naturally water. In a dry and hot area like the Flame Mountain in Turpan, can you imagine the surprise when you encounter a spring? There is such an eye spring in the Huoyan Mountain Scenic Area. It not only brings people coolness, but also has medical functions-the spring water here is rich in minerals and trace elements. The local villagers will work tirelessly to fetch water, which can treat various diseases. skin disease.

The Source of Karer Well. Jiaohe Station

Today, more and more people are no longer satisfied with just browsing in a hurry when traveling, but hope to find local cultural characteristics and historical and cultural connotations. As Turpan on the ancient Silk Road, it is the meeting point of the four major civilizations and a holy place that cultural relics and archaeologists all over the world yearn for. How can you not learn some cultural knowledge when you come to Turpan for tourism?

    So, do you know how the ancient Turpan people sent official documents? How to send a letter from home? How to communicate with the central government? How to interact and communicate with the surrounding areas? Business travelers face each other on the road. The post station culture reached its peak in the Tang Dynasty, and a complete system was formed. What kind of political and commercial route was it from Chang'an to Jiaohe post at that time? All these questions can be answered in Jiaoheyi!

    Walking into Jiaoheyi, a majestic wooden city tower comes into view, and a huge two-story high screen inside it scrolls to show the management policies and military support of the central government of the Tang Dynasty for the Gaochang area! Help the people here to resist the invasion of foreign enemies!

The real-scene model takes you from Chang'an Station, through Liangzhou, Yumenguan and other places to Jiaohe Station, and completes the transmission task. Along the way, the true reproduction of the wolf valley, desert, Yadan landform and other landforms is shocking! Walking in the meantime, as if being there. .

       After learning about this official history and moving on, I came to the source of Karez, where I went to find a piece of folk civilization. To this day, when people talk about Turpan, the first thing that comes to mind is hot and dry! This is indeed the case. The annual precipitation here is less than that of a heavy rain in the south, and the evaporation is far greater than the precipitation. However, there are the world's sweetest grapes, cantaloupe, mulberry and other fruits here, entertaining guests and friends from all over the world. . Speaking of this, we naturally need to know about Karez's past and present lives.

Karez is the source of life in Turpan. In the Karez Well Source Scenic Area, you can intuitively understand the Karez wells through the explanations of the narrator, the related technologies of Karez excavation and the structure of the Karez wells, which are scrolled and broadcast on the multimedia screen. The source of Karez is not a simple sightseeing tour, but an interactive and experiential visit combining real scenes and modern multimedia technology to tell the glorious history of Karez that lasted for two thousand years. Visiting here seems to bring us back more than 2,000 years ago. We saw that the ancestors of Turpan used picks, shovels, and willow baskets one by one to carry them on their shoulders. This is as famous as the Great Wall of China and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. great human engineering.

Jiaohe Ancient Village

       If Jiaohe Station describes the official history of the ancient Western Regions and the Central Dynasty, then Jiaohe Ancient Village shows you the city life of the ancestors of Jiaohe Ancient City. Jiaohe Ancient City was founded and built by the Cheshi people from the 2nd to the 5th century BC. It reached its peak in the Northern and Southern Dynasties and the Tang Dynasty. From the 9th to the 14th century, due to successive years of war, Jiaohe City gradually declined.

        According to historical records, during the prosperous period of Jiaohe Ancient City, it was not only the political and cultural center at that time, but also the people's production and life and other related activities were very active. There were documents unearthed in Turpan that recorded in detail the prices of vegetables in the Jiaohe Vegetable Market, as well as the transaction prices of related daily necessities such as silk and cotton cloth, showing to future generations the scene of prosperity at that time. So, what was the living environment of the ancestors here? How did they produce and live? What traditional customs are still passed down to this day? And which ones have disappeared? If you also have these questions, go to Jiaohe Ancient Village to have a look!

        Jiaohe Ancient Village Scenic Spot is based on Turpan’s profound historical and cultural heritage and rich folk customs. A large group of museums invested and operated.

        Walking into the ancient village, you will be greeted by a piece of earthen buildings. That's right, Jiaohe Ancient City is the most well-preserved raw earth building in the world. The ancestors living here used local materials according to the terrain and excavated the raw earth terraces to form courtyards, houses, and walls inside the houses. Go up and dig out small niches for daily necessities.

There are also several large and small courtyards, or small two-story buildings, or earthen walls and wooden doors, all of which have the characteristics of local dwellings, and can more intuitively understand the daily life of Turpan residents.
