Roasted camel, many people must have never eaten;
Few people can eat the whole camel baked in the 12-meter-high naan pit.
Populus euphratica, many people may have seen;
The 3.16 million mu Populus euphratica is spectacular, but many people have never seen it or even know it.
These two world-record-breaking projects both appeared in Bachu County, Kashgar, Xinjiang. On the National Day this year, Xiongge was invited to Bachu to witness the certification of China's largest naan pit, and personally passed through the continuous Populus euphratica forest. I am amazed that Bachu has such tourism resources.
On October 2, the 2018 Populus euphratica Festival of Silk Road Culture in Kashgar (Bachu), Xinjiang, China and the first Farmers’ Harvest Festival in Bachu County opened in the Red Sea Scenic Area. With the theme of "City of Food and Appreciation of Bachu Culture", the activity will last for 20 days from October 2 to 22, 2018. The yellowing period of Populus euphratica in Bachu will continue until the middle and late November. During this period, when you come to Bachu, you can not only appreciate the infinitely beautiful scenery of the desert, experience the profound history and culture, feel the ethnic customs, but also see the continuous golden Populus euphratica.
I have been to Kashgar City and Yecheng County 5 years ago. Although Bachu belongs to Kashgar City, I have never been there because Bachu is more than 200 kilometers away from Kashgar. It is located on the northwest edge of the Tarim Basin and the Taklamakan Desert in Xinjiang. Superior, with a long history and profound cultural heritage, it is a famous cultural gathering place on the ancient Silk Road.
The opening ceremony was held in the Red Sea Scenic Area, which is 12 kilometers away from Bachu County. It is an ecological landscape area integrating lakes, rivers, grasslands, wetlands, Gobi, and Populus euphratica forest. Populus euphratica is densely covered along the river, although Populus euphratica has only just begun to turn yellow. , has been too beautiful.
After the opening ceremony, the "No. 1 Naan Pit on the Silk Road" certified by the Guinness Headquarters of Shanghai Great World was held in the scenic area. When a 300-kilogram roasted camel was "hung" from the "No. , The onlookers were amazed and gathered around to take pictures. This naan pit is 12 meters high, 9 meters in diameter, and has a volume of 113 cubic meters. In addition to this roasted whole camel, there are also 9 roasted whole lambs that are baked at the same time. This naan pit, which can roast 800 kilograms of meat at one time, can be said to have created the record of the most barbecue in my country. The site "the first naan pit on the Silk Road" was certified as "China's largest naan pit" by the Shanghai World Guinness Headquarters.
When the roasted camel was pushed to the food court, tourists snatched up the roasted camel in less than half an hour. The roasted camel was bright in color, and it tasted burnt on the outside and tender on the inside, fat but not greasy, very delicious .
He Qiang, secretary of the Bachu County Party Committee, said: "The launch of the Silk Road Cultural Populus euphratica Festival and the first Bachu County Farmer's Harvest Festival is an important measure taken by the Bachu County Party Committee and the government to create an international tourist destination and make Bachu a strong county for tourism. It aims to comprehensively display the long and splendid Populus euphratica culture in Bachu County, enhance the popularity of Bachu County with the unique and magnificent natural scenery and unique charming folk customs, and make the tourism industry of Bachu County bigger and stronger.”
On the same day, the Red Sea Scenic Area also performed intangible cultural heritage items such as sheep hunting, horse racing, cockfighting, dogfighting, and sheepfighting, attracting nearly 30,000 tourists.

The pit body of the Nang Pit is a brick-concrete structure, which adopts Bachu’s local architectural style. It uses clay, mixed with cow wool hair and straw, and pastes it evenly on the facade, giving people a simple and vigorous visual experience.

Roasted whole camel is bright in color, you want to eat it just by looking at it
That's right, it takes an ax to cut open, and master griller Momin Upur deftly slices it up for visitors.
Momin Wufuer said that the camels were slaughtered on the night of October 1, and a fire was set in the naan pit at 5:00 am on the 2nd, and the secret seasoning was applied to the camels, and they were baked for more than 5 hours before they were baked. .

After participating in the event, I hurried to watch the catwalk by Populus euphratica
The Populus euphratica in the Red Sea Scenic Area is gradually turning yellow, and the next month is the best viewing period
Bachu is worthy of being "the capital of Populus euphratica, a place of culture, a station on the Silk Road, a city of food, and a garden of textiles."
