There must be at least two impulses in life, one is a desperate love, and the other is a trip that just goes away.
I have always felt that it is a great enjoyment in life to be able to drive for a long distance with a few close friends, enjoy the vast mountains and rivers, and talk about their own interesting stories in life. So this time, my husband and I and two friends drove the newly-provided CS75PLLUS together, starting from Beijing all the way to the west, preparing for a self-driving trip in the frontier~
We are still winding along the Duku Highway today. Perhaps because of the high altitude, Xinjiang in November is already vast, and the Yardang landforms on both sides of the road that have been eroded by thousands of years of wind and frost are particularly eye-catching against the blue sky. On the way, I saw someone "playing wild" on the dirt road next to the expressway. I was very itchy to see it. Our car is also the top configuration of 2.0T+Aisin 8AT. We are not afraid of it in terms of strength, so we immediately Accelerating at full speed, the flying dust immediately brought me back to my passionate boyhood, CS75PLUS is really a good job!
After an hour's drive, we arrived at today's destination - Tianshan Mysterious Grand Canyon. The guide Lao Ma said that the locals call it Kezilia (Uighur: red cliff), the entire Grand Canyon is more than 5,000 meters long, and in the evening, the red cliff is even more dazzling, like the one in "Journey to the West". Flame Mountain. We couldn't wait to get out of the car when we heard this, and wanted to go straight to the hinterland of the canyon to experience it.
The Tianshan Grand Canyon is approximately in a north-south arc, with the opening slightly bent to the southeast and the end slightly bent to the northeast. It is composed of a main valley and seven branch valleys. The natural drop between the valley end and the valley mouth is more than 200 meters. at 0.4 meters. Known as one of the "Ten Most Beautiful Canyons in China", it has a unique Kizilia landform, with a red cliff more than 5,000 meters long, steep, precipitous and magnificent.
After entering the scenic spot, the towering reddish-brown giant mountain groups first catch your eyes. Under the sunlight, they are like bunches of passionate flames rising and jumping under the blue sky. Not far from the entrance of the canyon, there is a black "sacred dog" lying on the steep cliff facing the valley. This is the "sacred dog guarding the valley". It is said that dogs are usually black in season, and will turn from black to yellowish brown every July and August, but no matter how the light changes, the shape of this dog never changes.
The mouth of the canyon is very wide, but in the deep valley, there are twists and turns, and in some places, only one person can pass through with his head bowed and his body sideways. Standing at the bottom of the valley and looking up at the top of the mountain, I suddenly feel that the steep peaks on both sides seem to be crushed at any moment, which makes people feel suffocated and dizzy. Being in the middle of it feels like walking in a maze. I will be reduced to dust in an instant, I don't know if it is because of its strangeness and danger, or its magnificence and shock.
After lamenting a wave of nature's uncanny workmanship, we reluctantly ended today's trip. It is said that the end of one place is also the beginning of another. Our journey is not over yet, and tomorrow will be a brand new journey!
