After reading the travel notes I wrote over the past few years, I found that I have not traveled in the past few years. Compared with my own trip, the first time in 2013 was separated by 5 years, and the last time in 2014 It’s been 4 years since the trip to Sertar on National Day!
I am very uneasy about traveling alone this time. I was originally at home alone waiting for a job, but I feel more and more that it seems that it is a waste of time to wait for the phone calls from those resumes and company personnel every day. And life, I wanted to go out for a walk when I was at work, but it was so difficult to ask for leave, but now I am a leisure person, why don't I go out for a walk?
For an unemployed person, if he goes out for a walk, he will spend all his money during the days of being unemployed. If he still cannot find a job when he comes back, how will he live? I am ashamed to say that although I have worked for many years, I don’t have so much spare money to squander, let alone have spare money to go out and travel. Since I got married, I feel that life is too tight every day, and I don’t have the ability to make money! However, I want to go out for a walk, so I can't travel as comfortably as others!
A colleague once joked: "Is that what you call travel? Do you know what kind of travel is called?"
Ask yourself: "What kind of travel is called?"
"You see, going out for a walk is not just to look at the scenery, but also to live in one place for a while, to look at the flowers, people, and sky, and what about you? Non-stop, what do you call travel?"
"Why can't it work?" I argued, "I just don't have as much money as you, and I just want to go out and have a look."
"Really? You are the life of a girl, but you want to live a rich life. Imagine us, don't care about money. Wait for you to book a five-star hotel like us. There is a swimming pool in the hotel, and you can stay in it for a few nights." , It’s right to be on vacation, and you will know what travel is! What is enjoyment! Our kind of travel is not hard, look at you, every time you run around in the car, and drive at night, are you tired!”
"How much does a five-star hotel cost per night? I stay in a hotel when I go out to play, and I only sleep a few hours a night. Is it necessary?" I was stunned at the time. There are more than 5,000 nights. To be honest, for me, with more than 5,000 nights, I can complete a 7-day tour instead of just staying for one night!
"When you have money, you will understand! Our travel is called vacation, and your travel is called masochism! Do you understand?"
"Well, I understand, it's just that I don't have the conditions you have, but I also want to go out and see the outside world!"
"Outside the world, do you think what you see is the same as what we see?"
"Forehead........"
To be honest, I know that everyone sees different scenery, even if they are in the same place at the same time on the same day, the scenery they see is different. Of course, I also understand what my colleague at the time meant, the world he said is different , not just referring to the scenery! ! !
The beauty of the world is there, without artificial carving or decoration. The beauty is a gift from nature to the world. Let ordinary people like us who live in the world have the honor to see it in this life, without lamenting the vastness of the world. The insignificance of man!
I am not financially affluent because of poverty, so the principle that applies to my life is still to follow the original principle of my heart: go to the most places with the least amount of time and the least amount of money! This is for my poor self-abuse and self-abuse!
However, after this poor trip, I found that there are many things that do not match my age! It may be over thirty, middle-aged, but more and more found that he is no longer young, no longer a teenager!
So when I was waiting for work in August, I was idle for a while, but I became more and more bored at home. I wanted to find a companion to go on the road. The original plan was to go to Tibet, because many people expected to go to Tibet, and Tibet is a pure land, and I have never People who have been there before and want to take this free time to go to Tibet and stay in the world for a long time always hope to go to a pure land to purify and purify!
However, because of a person, I had already made an appointment to go to Harbin before, but the handsome guy in Beijing had something to do temporarily and couldn’t make it up, and the train ticket I had already booked, I was also temporarily comfortable, (the train ticket was originally planned to depart on 8.13 For hard seat tickets, I don’t think I can bear the toss of 44 hours of hard seats at my age) so it was cancelled! (I haven't gone out in the past few years. This is the first time I have gone out since my thirties, but it still seems as difficult as going out for the first time).
I know that I haven't been out or seen the world for a few years, but now I'm unemployed at home. The more I feel out of touch with society, the more comfortable I feel! This is human nature!
Then, I don’t know where I heard people say that Xinjiang is not available. I can’t remember when and where I saw the travel in Xinjiang. On 8.15, I made an appointment with a treasure who had a trip to Beijing and said yes. I went to Xinjiang with me, but I was more and more happy. I finally got a companion. I looked at the plane ticket (I originally planned to go by plane, but I decided on the spur of the moment, but I saw that the plane ticket was double the price of the train sleeper), Bao Said: Then buy a train ticket, why not!
You know, it's hard to buy a train ticket to Xinjiang. I want to buy a sleeper berth, and it's not hard to buy a hard seat ticket! So I hung up the 8.20-23 train ticket on my mobile phone and grabbed the ticket! I got a sleeper berth on 8.20 on 8.17. I was very excited, so I told Bao that I had already got a ticket. I was very happy and told her to hurry up!
She was still traveling at that time and never came back, but found that the time of the train ticket I robbed was too early, and it did not match her time, so she advised me to change it! You know, the hard sleeper on this train to Urumqi is very difficult to grab. I was afraid that I would not get a hard sleeper if I changed my ticket. I didn’t agree, so the two people who were supposed to meet were traveling alone because of the time difference!
I was a little nervous at first, because the people in the mouth (called the mainland in Xinjiang) always heard some reports about Xinjiang, and they were very uneasy and worried about the security there, and it was also because it was too big to carpool or ride alone. Chartered car is very inconvenient!
Xinjiang, Tibet, and Gansu are all big places. Many people travel by themselves or with a group, and there are very few people who travel alone like this! And about this solo trip to Xinjiang, I didn’t do any homework at all. I just read a few travel notes on the Internet and knew a few good places. I have not implemented them one by one, so this trip is very arbitrary, I have arrived at the destination and are deciding where to go next! But it is always in accordance with the principle from the beginning to the end, without going back, and going all the way! Look at the beauty, look at the beauty!

Calculated according to the departure time, the whole 19 days away, travel by train, 2 days on the train, fly back, and come back in less than 3 hours!
The whole time period, this is the longest period of time I have traveled so far. During the period, I spent a day in Shanshan, because my legs were really tired. Thinking about it, I may have been on the way back in Kanas, and I was in Turpan again. After sitting in the car for a whole day, I was really exhausted. I woke up on the second day with blue veins on both legs. I was scared when I encountered this for the first time, and my legs were sore. I really had no strength to go on the road. ! I don’t want to bother anymore, so I stayed in Shanshan for another day. In fact, I should go to Dunhuang for a rest day, so I can walk around in Dunhuang on the second day. I can stay in Crescent Spring Town for 3-5 days. There is Leiyin Temple there, and this is the first free temple I have come across after traveling for so long. It is still open at night, and you can stay in it. There are few people and it is very clean, and I am there at night. Hearing the monk ringing the bell and chanting scriptures, I really feel that this is a sincere dedication to the Buddha, and it does not persuade the donor to pay for incense, which is much less vulgar, and this is the place where the true Buddha is destined! ! !
Afterwards, there was no correction, and the return journey, from Urumqi, changed the route several times along the way, and this is the benefit of walking alone, you don’t need to discuss the journey with your fellow travelers, you only need to confirm it yourself! It is inconvenient for the only person to carpool outside. The places he goes are farther than the urban area, and there is no shuttle bus. , Thank you to those who walked with me, thank you to those who met on the road, and thank you to those who stopped to give me a ride. Your kindness and kindness are really grateful!

Continuously updating, there are a lot of random photos, sorting out
