Written in front: I have already been to Xinjiang once in early July 2016. This trip is basically the last time to check and make up for the omissions (because I failed to go to Kanas last time), so there are some famous ones in the itinerary. I didn’t go to the scenic spots because I have already been there before, such as Nalati, Horgos and Sailimu Lake. Of course, there are also scenic spots that I like to visit repeatedly, such as Bayinbulak and Lavender Manor.
If you are traveling to Xinjiang for the first time, the following attractions can be added to the itinerary starting on June 10: Gongnaisi Grassland, Nalati Scenic Area, Sailimu Lake, Guozigou. As for Khorgos, Kanerjing Flame Mountain, Devil City, etc., it is a pity not to go to the scenic spots that you regret, you can decide according to your budget and time...
June 2
Chengdu Shuangliu Airport ️—Urumqi Diwo Airport ️ (1963 yuan round-trip ticket)
Change train at Urumqi South Railway Station 🚞—go to Beitun Railway Station (train ticket 179 yuan)
June 3
Beitun Railway Station—(40 yuan taxi fare)—Beitun Passenger Station—(passenger ticket 46 yuan/person)—Fuyun Passenger Station—(car rental fee 35 yuan/person)—Keketuohai Scenic Area (ticket fee 126 yuan /person) - Baoshigou Hotel (320 yuan / 3 people)
We got off the train at 7 o'clock in the morning, and arrived at the scenic spot by car at around 2 o'clock in the afternoon. After arriving at the hotel, we chose to walk to see Shenzhong Mountain, then take pictures, and sit for a breath of fresh air.
Because it was off-season when we went, we chose to live in the Baoshigou Hotel in the scenic area. The room fee for that night was not expensive. The conditions of the Baoshigou Hotel were also good and included breakfast. It seems that only the three of us stayed in the hotel that night hahahaha (*/ω＼*).
June 4
Keketuohai Scenic Area—Kokesuli (ticket 50/3 people)—Fuyun—(46 yuan/person ticket)—Beitun Bus Terminal
The packaged fare from Keketuohai Scenic Area to Fuyun is 200 yuan for a 7-seater commercial vehicle.
We got up early the next morning to walk the hiking route (about 7 kilometers) that we couldn’t go last night, and finally went back to Baoshigou to walk another mountain hiking trail behind the hotel.
There are blooming dandelions all over the mountains and plains, which are really beautiful and furry and cute.
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, we left the scenic spot and went to Kekesuli. Kekesuli is a large reed marsh. If you are lucky, you can see many wild ducks on the water and in the reeds. Tickets are actually 20 yuan per person (tickets are not accepted before June 2), and our driver helped us negotiate the price. That afternoon, there were only 3 of us in the entire Kekesuli, and we had a lot of fun posing for pictures (Long live the off-season ♪( ´θ｀)ノ).
After returning to Beitun, we found a hotel near the passenger station. There is nothing to say about it. There are many hotels next to the passenger station, so we can choose as we please. The triple room we were looking for was 180 yuan, and the conditions were not bad.
June 5
Beitun Passenger Station—(rental 50 yuan/person)—Buerqin Passenger Station—(ticket 60 yuan/person)—Hemu Village (ticket 65 yuan/person)—overnight in Hemu Village (200 yuan/3 people)
There is a timetable for the bus from Beitun to Hemu. It is recommended that you arrange it according to the bus time. We took the bus at 10 am, and the journey took about 4 and a half hours. In Hemu Village, there are Hemu Villas with better conditions, as well as the kind of homestay we live in (in fact, the conditions are very good). In the off-season, you can bargain with the boss. For example, the asking price for our three-person room is more than 400. In peak season, the price will be up up... It would be nice to have a place to live.
Hemu Village gives me the feeling that it is a very quiet small village, with mountains, water and people. Hemu Village is more famous for its beautiful peak, where you can go to the beautiful peak at night to watch the sunset. Instead of going to Meilifeng, we chose to hike to a nearby mountain to see the scenery and watch the sunset by the way. The temperature dropped significantly at night, from wearing short sleeves to being wrapped in a thick jacket. It is no exaggeration to say that people like me who are particularly afraid of the cold really need to wear down jackets.
June 6
Hemu Village—(Ticket 100 yuan/person)—Jiadengyu—Kanas Scenic Area (285 entrance fee)—Baihaba Village (130 yuan ticket plus fare)—Night stay at Kanas Old Village B&B (360 yuan/3 people)
We got up at 5:30 in the morning to watch the sunrise on a mountain in Hemu Village. We needed to climb many ladders. And it was really cold in the morning... I don't remember anything other than the cold...
After leaving Hemu, we entered the focus of this trip, the Kanas scenic spot. There is really a lot of consumption in the scenic area, and there is a very shitty place for the tickets, which I will mention below. Tickets are divided into one entry (overnight stay in the scenic spot) and two entry (night stay outside the scenic spot and return to the scenic spot the next day), and the ticket is valid for only two days.
It was already afternoon when we arrived at the scenic spot, so we chose the short-term visit to Baihaba Village. Baihaba Village also provides accommodation, and those who have ideas can also stay overnight in Baihaba. But for those of us who go to visit, the word "regret" is enough. Because I can't see the boundary markers up close now, so...why should I go (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻.
In the evening we stayed in a homestay in Kanas Old Village, the first one on the left hand side of the street (the one closest to the Forestry Bureau). The boss gave us a four-person room. The conditions were good and the price was reasonable. The house was very Spacious and the owner is very helpful. highly recommended.
June 7
Kanas Transfer Center—Guanyutai (Ticket 60 yuan)—Take a boat tour on the lake (120 yuan per person)—Check out and change to a homestay—Shenxian Bay—B&B (300 yuan/3 people)
We set off at 10 o'clock in the morning. Although it is the off-season, there are relatively many people on the fish viewing platform. The scenery is very magnificent and well worth a visit. Standing on the viewing platform, I always imagine the autumn scenery of Kanas. The colorful appearance of the forest must be breathtakingly beautiful, so I still feel a little pity. This is the inability to have both beautiful scenery and fewer people... …
In the afternoon, I was tricked by the ticket agent at the transfer center and went to swim in the lake. Afterwards, I asked myself, "Why did I still fall for the money after being cheated by the lake so many times? I must be a fool." Touring the lake can be said to be There is no such thing as the most regrettable consumption in the scenic spot. If you have this money, it is better to spend it on rafting.
At night, because the four-person room in the B&B we stayed in before was booked, we changed to another hotel. The room was too small for the three of us to spread out the suitcases, and the toilet was too small to suffocate... But we had to make do with it when we were away (´-`) .

Kanas Transfer Center Walking Tour Sanwan (Shenxian Bay-Moon Bay-Wolong Bay-Take a car to return to the transfer center)
In order to try our luck to see if there is any fog, we went out at 7 o'clock in the morning and started to tour Sanwan on foot. The whole journey is roughly estimated to be 11 kilometers, and it takes 3 and a half hours. The air is cold in the morning, so you need to wear a jacket. We walked all the way from the transfer center to Wolong Bay along the plank road. There were basically no people on the way, and the air in the mountains was very comfortable, and all kinds of wild flowers bloomed along the way. The funniest thing was that we met a hungry wild dog grazing on the road, so we gave it half a Saqima. As a result, the dog accompanied us from Shenxian Bay to Wolong Bay. I am very pleased hahahahaha (/ω＼). After arriving at Wolong Bay, you can ask the staff to help stop the traffic and take you back to the transfer center.
For someone like me who likes to walk more, this plank road trip is very good, and I even want to walk a few more times if I have the chance.
Kanas Transfer Center—Jiadengyu—(Ticket 40 yuan/person)—Buerqin (Siheyuan Hotel 150 yuan/3 people)
Next, I will mention the place where the tickets are shit. Because the tickets are only valid for two days, tourists like us who live in the scenic spot for a long time, if they want to go back to Jiadengyu from the transfer center, they have to buy it again. ticket? ? ? I don't really understand this kind of charging standard...
When we arrived in Burqin, we chose a hotel called Siheyuan. This hotel really looks like a courtyard! It is run by a young couple, raising 3 cats, with a small courtyard in the middle. Although the environment at the entrance is not very good, it feels warm and comfortable after entering the door. It is highly recommended. The young lady said that because it was the off-season when we went, the house price was surprisingly cheap. The triple room we lived in around July will cost thousands of dollars...
June 9
Burqin—(bus ticket 25 yuan/person)—Altay Passenger Station—(taxi 50 yuan)—Altay Airport—(ticket 360 yuan)—Yining Airport—(taxi 34 yuan)—Home Inn Hotel (169 yuan/3 people)
There is nothing to talk about today, the whole journey is on the road, and my butt hurts from sitting in the car.
June 10
Home Inn—(chartered car for 2 days, 2,100 yuan in total)—Bayinbulak (ticket 155 yuan)—Bayinbuluk Grassland Holiday Hotel (300 yuan/3 people)
Bayanbulak I really blow up. I went to the year before last, and this year I gave up Nalati and went to Bayin again because of time problems. The sunset and nine bends and eighteen bends of the year before last really made my memory fresh. Friends who went there for the first time said Bayin was "like an oil painting". It was still raining at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and the clouds were still thick around 8 o'clock. I didn't expect to see the beautiful scenery at all, but it turned out! ! As a result, the clouds dispersed at 9:30 and we saw the sunset perfectly! ! The stands were full of photographers with gun barrels, all exclaiming "It's so beautiful!", and a few uncles lamented the magnificence of the motherland's mountains and rivers throughout the whole process, hahaha. I really can't describe the beauty of Bayin in words, you really need to experience it yourself.
June 11
Bayanbulak - 70th regiment Ipalhan Lavender Manor - Yining Home Inn (169 yuan / 3 people)
On a regular day, I didn't see the lavender in full bloom the year before last, but I finally saw it this year. It's not the endless Provence lavender fields that everyone imagines, but it's actually relatively small...
June 12
Yining Railway Station—(train ticket 81 yuan)—Urumqi Railway Station—(airport bus 10 yuan/person)—Urumqi Airport️—Chengdu Shuangliu Airport International Airport
The itinerary ends here. Generally speaking, this trip is still very meaningful. Xinjiang is a place worth visiting many times. I always hear friends around me say that they want to go to a certain place abroad to see the beautiful scenery of such and such. I have gone abroad a lot, and then I have also studied abroad. I have been to many places that are said to be the most beautiful in the world, but the scenery is the truth. Beauty is beauty, but it does not bring the kind of shock I felt in Xinjiang. In the case of limited economy, I highly recommend everyone to go to Xinjiang to see the great rivers and mountains of the motherland.
