See flowers in July and eat melons in August. We love to eat, so we naturally chose to travel in August. The plane was delayed after 7 o'clock, and the long flight on the way finally arrived at Diwopu Airport at 5 o'clock in the afternoon.

After washing up in the hotel, those with children didn’t forget to do the quizzes. They went out to look for food around 9 o’clock. The sun was still in the sky, and they couldn’t rest at sunset! A friend took us to Huoyan Mountain for a small gathering, and we had to go through security checks when we had a meal, but later on there were too many security checks, and we got used to it, and instead, we panicked when we couldn’t see the policeman at night. The dishes served are very local. The milk tea is salty. For children, they prefer sweet. Baked buns, Liangpi, strips, pike, and of course small pots of mutton stewed in clear water. The main thing is that the meat is good, and it is not greasy at all. Isn’t it just fresh ingredients in the Northwest of the motherland? In addition to eating, there are singing and dancing appreciation, of course, the most distinctive one is the girl from Dabancheng!


Early the next morning, we came to the legendary Tianchi. Sure enough, I finally queued up to get on the shuttle bus, but got off halfway, followed their street market to the exit, and took the second shuttle bus to the legendary Tianchi Lake. The scenery is of course beautiful, but compared to Kana Sihu, I think this scenic spot can be ignored! Especially when it's hot and crowded!

After coming out of Tianchi Lake, the next stop is Keketuohai. It takes a long time to drive on this road. We pass the wild animal area along the way. The children look forward to the appearance of animals from time to time. When a group of wild horses appear, they stop immediately and wait until they go far away...

Keketuohai, mainly to see the mines and the Grand Canyon. In particular, Pit No. 3, after the deterioration of Sino-Soviet relations, repaid 40% of China's debt to the former Soviet Union, which shows the richness of mineral resources. Now in order to protect resources, it is no longer mined, and the mica that can be seen everywhere outside the mine is still worthy of children's joy!

After mining the ore with satisfaction, go to the Grand Canyon to see what happened. Following the navigation, I accidentally passed a trail next to the Irtysh River. My father kept telling the children: "This is the only river in China that runs from west to east and flows into the Arctic Ocean." Haha, children I can't wait to enter the river, it is really cold! Fleeing up, rushing in again, over and over again, never tired of it. While resting in the stone bar, I also found an unknown little bug. I thought it was a hermit crab at first, but after a closer look, it turned out to be a stone body. I felt the magic of nature's creation.

After playing in the water for too long, I decided not to go to the Grand Canyon. I wanted to rush to Burqin while the weather was still early, but the police cars were speeding all the way and couldn't run at all. However, there is always a shepherd’s fun next to it, and the children are always interested in animals. The herdsmen who pass by on motorcycles and drive their flocks should also take a good look. The herdsmen looked back from time to time, thinking: I'm just driving this flock, and you stopped to take pictures? Fuss! Each other has become a landscape!

I passed N's Mujiale along the way, so I decided to find one and stop for dinner. Mutton kebabs, hand-picked rice, and pancakes all make the children happy. However, the food in the herdsman's house is all oily. After all, there are so many sheep, and even fried pancakes are full of sheep oil. Vegetables and condiments in the herdsmen’s homes are regularly delivered and sold. The cumin powder is being weighed by a woman, and the truck drives smoothly. It seems that the sales of mutton skewers are the highest!

After eating, they are driving sheep in a fun way! Also be a little herdsman!


Stay at Jiadengyu in the evening, and come to Kanas, the fairyland on earth, early the next morning. The scenery is really amazing, the weather is cold in the morning and evening, so you need to wear thick clothes. Because Hemu is more congested, Baihaba Village needs a border defense certificate, so it will not go. In fact, these two places have to come in July, and there are not so many tourists, and the most beautiful scenery is in autumn and winter.

At a place 2 kilometers away from the parking lot of Hemu Village, I found a small village of Tuva people, digging fungi, blowing dandelions, and watching the stream. The most important thing is that no one crowded with us. On the way back to Burqin, there are large melon fields, and I can't help stopping to pick melons.

Arrive at the colorful beach before 9:30, watching the colorful colors of the stones under the setting sun is spectacular, and the windmills under the setting sun are even more special.

I don’t want to be too tired from the itinerary, so I will continue to stay in Burqin at night and depart for Karamay early the next morning. When preparing dry food in Burqin, I found pike sausage, and the taste is still awesome! But if you leave the Altay area, you can no longer buy it! Along the vast Gobi and grasslands, I found a group of camels and decided to run with them in the six-level wind.

After discovering the secret of the camel guarding the little camel, continue to go to the Devil City. The Devil City is the Yadan landform. Travel around 8 o'clock in the evening. The sun is hot and the wind is still hot. Pay attention to sun protection!

Staying in Karamay at night, it seems that there are dense kowtow machines along the way, and the streets in the city are also neat and clean. After breakfast, depart for Sailimu Lake. Sailimu Lake was able to drive around the lake by yourself last year, but this year it is not possible, and you have to add a shuttle bus, which will lengthen the time to play. Known as the last tear of the Atlantic Ocean, well deserved! Big, clear, cool, and the key is to see the snow-capped mountains. In the eyes of children, it can be compared to the seaside. Playing with sand, playing with stones, watching ducks, lest there is not enough time!



It was 10:30 p.m. when we came out of Sailimu Lake. We passed the Guozigou Bridge. Unfortunately, it was dark and we couldn’t see the whole picture clearly.

Horgos is the hometown of melons and fruits. At Khorgos port, you don't need a border defense certificate if you hold a passport. The border security check is still very careful. For 30 yuan, you can take a walk to the border of Kazakhstan. If you arrive earlier, you can take a one-day bus tour in Kazakhstan. When you arrive at the port, of course you buy, buy, buy. After coming out, I passed by Zhaosu and ate at the Sanpan restaurant, which is really cost-effective. There are many hawthorn trees nearby, and the bright red fruits hang on the branches, which makes me feel envious again.

After the meal, the road met a large wheat field, got out of the car and walked around, and the children met big dandelions again, so they started the journey of blowing bubbles again.

Or go all the way, stop and look all the way.

So much so that when I arrived at the Kalajun Grassland, I didn’t have much special joy. The Kalajun Grassland is really suitable for coming at the end of June and the beginning of July. All kinds of flowers are in full bloom. , It is not obvious on the green grassland, but it can be seen clearly when you get close. After horseback riding on the prairie, return to the apricot orchard to pick apricots. It's only 10 yuan for one big and one small, all-you-can-eat, 10 yuan for 1 kg of free picks, big apricots as a gift. Ripe big apricots are powdery, not as sweet as small apricots. Especially the slightly wrinkled branches will refresh your perception of the sweetness of apricots. Hanging dried apricots sold online are dried from it. Without adding anything, it is dried on the road, it is probably a layer of dust, and people who are more particular about it are still dried in their own yards. So dried apricots must be washed before eating!

Returning to Urumqi from the Duku Highway, we first passed the Qiaoerma Martyrs Cemetery. For every 7 kilometers of Duku Highway built, a soldier died. In the cemetery, 168 martyrs are buried forever. They are all young and dedicated their immortal youth in their best years. It's just that there is an old lady standing at the door of the public toilet next to her, charging one yuan per person for going to the toilet.

For children on the Duku Highway, it is true that they can touch the snow in summer. There are still a few unmelted snow on the top of the mountain and on the side of the mountain. They can slide on the slide with cardboard.

Back in Urumqi, the museum is naturally indispensable. There are many mummies on the second floor. In order not to affect the appetite, the picture is not shown above. If you want to lose weight, you can go here twice more. In the International Grand Bazar, you can feel the exotic customs, and the prices in the same area are different, so ask more when you walk. Dried fruits are expensive, and there is a market 5 kilometers away. There are all kinds of fruits and dried fruits, which are of high quality and low price! The sweet dried cantaloupe, in the market, the merchants directly cut it up and dried it.

Postscript: 1. The distance between scenic spots is long and the road conditions are good, but the speed limit makes it impossible to run. The food in the service area is expensive, so prepare dry food and water.

2.August just in time for Eid al-Adha, the highway is free.

3. There are many stones on the Gobi Desert. If you are lucky, you can pick gold silk jade. But now there are more people picking up stones than stones, so you can go to the stone market for a walk.

4. In August, the high temperature in Turpan is more than 40 degrees. If you want to pick grapes, you must be prepared to resist the high temperature.
