On the entire map of China, if there is any place that is both yearning and disturbing, besides Tibet, it is Xinjiang.
Longing for its mysterious and unique beauty, worried about its high mountains and long roads, dangerous rivers and lakes. . So for me, Xinjiang, under the simple place name, is a kind of complex emotion. Qi's mother is very simple. Since I was forced to take the Sichuan-Tibet line a few years ago, the higher the mountains and the farther the road, the more I yearn for it. Therefore, this trip to Xinjiang is Qi's mother's suggestion. On the contrary, I am a little My son was hesitant. First, he was daunted by the 3,000-kilometer one-way journey and the 3,000-kilometer journey ahead; "Two words, after repeated consultations, it is said that Xinjiang has almost become the safest place in the world. Under the pressure of strict defense and stability maintenance, even thieves have almost disappeared from here. ,indeed so. So what I want to go is not at this time, but when?
D1 Beijing meets Urumqi
On June 2, 2019, Beijing flew to Urumqi. It was a 4-hour flight. Qi Xiaobao, who had just finished Children’s Day, looked excited. He grew up and began to understand communication. The journey also had endless fun. This time Traveling, we told Qi Xiaobao that this is a Children's Day gift for him, but this gift will make him very hard. . .
Not long after leaving Beijing, there is an endless wasteland under the wings of the plane. The vastness and barrenness of the Northwest can be seen from the plane.
It seems to be a Yadan landform. Does this figure look like a huge ear? Listen! The wind that travels through the millennium
As soon as he got off the plane, Qi Xiaobao began to run happily, looking like he was only seizing the day and night!
After a long journey, it is inevitable to have a big meal. "The pomegranate is red, and happiness is coming." This is the slogan of an online celebrity restaurant in Urumqi. The food is always happy, and Qi's mother is full of joy.
Xinjiang's special dish "naan wrapped meat", as the name suggests, is roasted meat wrapped in naan, which is really delicious. Wherever there is delicious food, there are beauties, and Urumqi is no exception. The big-eyed girl at the next table looks very Xinjiang.
When you arrive in Xinjiang, mutton skewers are a must. In the following trips, you must eat them almost every day. The meat skewers made of fresh red willow branches on the river beach are probably only tasted in Xinjiang.
I only think about all kinds of delicacies in my heart, and whether I can eat it is out of the scope of consideration! In the eyes of the Uighur brothers, our family must go hungry for a few days! The situation was instantly embarrassing. . The first day of the trip to Xinjiang ended with a satisfying gourmet meal in Urumqi.
D2 Tianchi after the rain
The Tianchi Scenic Spot is not too far from the urban area of Urumqi, and it is also a must-see place for the first time in Xinjiang. As for the scenery, compared with its famous reputation, it can only be said to be passable. Eighteen-year-old Han Shao is an occasional angry youth, who usually scoffs at the scenic spots we choose, but he seems to have walked into heaven by the Tianchi Lake. This backside projected a pilgrimage-like piousness, and he was short of writing a poem. . The beauty is the same as the food, sometimes you need the right appetite.
Come to the panoramic Tianchi Lake, the first rest after the rain, the dark clouds are rolling, just like the south of the Yangtze River.
Leaving Tianchi Lake, head to today's destination Burqin, hundreds of kilometers of Gobi Desert, this way, from sunrise to sunset. The time in Urumqi is 2 hours later than that in Beijing, and the sunset time is even later. After 9 o'clock in the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun is still covering the wasteland. The car shows a vigorous figure in the Gobi Desert, as if there is another car accompanying it. .
At 9:37 p.m., it was already night in Beijing. After looking at the navigation, it is still 4 hours away from Burqin. Considering Qi Xiaobao's feelings, we changed to Beitun, which is within two hours' drive.
Beitun, as the name suggests, is the place where troops are stationed, and it is under the jurisdiction of the Xinjiang Construction Corps. Look at the map, northwest to north, the position of the pushpin above the chicken tail on the map.
D3 Roadside Oasis
Starting from Beitun, go directly to Kanas Lake, an important scenic spot of this trip, and found an oasis on the side of the road, which is so beautiful, maybe it was two days in a row through the deserted Gobi, and suddenly found that the oasis is like a paradise At this point, we really understand the sacred status of oasis in the hearts of people in desert areas.
Against the background of blue sky and white clouds, this oasis feels full of immortality
This scenery is so unreal that it's a bit illusory. Is there a touch of Cinderella?
This photo of mother and son walking through the wilderness hand in hand made me feel warmly moved. Life is a long journey. It is such a happy thing to grow up slowly holding mother's hand. I hope Qi On the way of Xiaobao's growth, he has always been accompanied by such warmth.
The endless desert finally came to an end. Along the Burqin County section of the 232 provincial road in the Altay region, we crossed a small basin. We said that she was small because we soon reached the other end of the basin, and the terrain on the other side was almost the same as when we came. Similarly, the basin is surrounded by such stone mountains, and the car walks through the rocks, giving the illusion of coming to an alien planet.
After crossing the basin, we walked out of the Gobi Gobi. When we turned a corner, a continuous meadow suddenly appeared, and the distant mountains were lush and lush. It was like a transition scene in a movie.
Quickly wake up a car of people in the dream. For the three sleepy-eyed mothers, when they close their eyes, they are still in the desert that leads directly to the sky. When they open their eyes, they are already in the green paradise.
Qi Xiaobao was the first to enter the state, because he was finally able to get out of the car and play again. No matter how beautiful the scenery is, it is no match for a small wild flower on the roadside. In the eyes of children, the world is always microcosmic. No wonder the Buddha will To say "a world in a grain of sand" must have been an epiphany when I was a child. Look, Qi Xiaobao's aggressiveness!
Under the dome, the clouds were raging, and thick cumulonimbus clouds moistened the green field. The air seemed to be filled with thick water vapor, and a long-lost fresh breath rushed over. For Qi Ma, who loves beauty and skin care, such a humid air is no less than applying a good mask, and the key is free!
The same scene and the same location, different people have different interpretations, Qi’s father found a sharp rock with a wonderful angle, and set up a pose where the situation on the edge of the cliff, pointing the country and mountains, under the sharp lens of Qi’s mother, he broke through in an instant , Qi's mother's greatest skill is to make Qi's father invisible and self-conscious in the camera! This is also the reason why Dad Qi has gradually retired from the camera these years and is less in front of the photos. For a person with such a narcissistic narcissism, this is really unbearable! Ha ha!
There is wind and rain in the dark clouds. When we arrived in Kanas, it started to rain. The abundant water vapor here made the temperature a bit cold. Fortunately, with the blessing of Xinjiang Dapan Chicken, food is the most warm for the cold body. Consolation, we are no exception.
D4 Kanas is the most beautiful
Surrounded by the blue sky and white clouds, the snow-capped mountains after the wind and rain are extraordinarily holy. The pine forest, snow-capped mountains, white clouds, and blue sky are like a glass window that has just been wiped. It is spotless as far as the eye can see.
The scenery of lakes and mountains, snow-capped mountains and clear lake water are wonderful CPs. In Tibet a few years ago, Qi’s father was deeply attracted by the holy lake of snow-capped mountains in Nam Co. The style of painting is closer to Western oil paintings. Most of the paintings we have seen since childhood are from the West. If we see too much, we will tend to Western-style aesthetics. Even when we see such scenery in our own country, there is an exotic feeling. The illusion of Jiuzhaigou, the Sichuan-Tibet line, and Kanas. In fact, this is enough to show that our scenery is comparable to or even crushed most of the foreign scenery. If there is a gap, it may lie in the tourism services provided for these beautiful scenery.
Kanas Lake is a long and narrow lake. When walking along the shore, there is an illusion of a river. Surrounded by mountains on both sides, the lake is hidden deep in the deep mountains and canyons. , I can’t tell whether it’s a stone or a wood. No wonder there are legends of water monsters here. Inadvertently, it’s easy to be startled by the looming strange rocks in the lake.
The mountains are high and the sun sets early, and the lake surface illuminated by the afterglow of the setting sun is radiant and colorful, revealing a soft beauty that is different from the daytime.
For family outings, of course, there must be a family portrait, and a sense of ritual is necessary. Take a group photo and look at the rare lakes and mountains. May the mountains and rivers be safe and the years will be peaceful!
The white clouds are long-sleeved and good at dancing, the skirts reflect the snow-capped mountains, the clear water and the green mountains depend on each other, playing a song that will last forever. . Is there a more intoxicating scenery than this? Even the herd of cows grazing quietly on the river beach is so perfect that it seems that God has deliberately arranged it. This God must be full of talents, and all the scenery is just right, no more, no less.
Lingering and forgetting, forgetting to linger, in a person's life, there are always some moments that make you yearn for eternity. For me, the feeling at this moment by the lake in Kanas can be regarded as one.
Qi Xiaobao has influenced the beautiful scenery, which is so beautiful that it is so beautiful. This style of painting and this beautiful scenery match very well!
The trip to Kanas Lake is over. In the past two days, from the road to Kanas, the vision has been swiped. From the Gobi desert, to the grassland lakes, and then to the jungle and snow-capped mountains, there is no most beautiful, only more beautiful! The closer it feels to Kanas, the closer it is to heaven. . So far, the doubts about the northern Xinjiang of 600 kilometers the previous day have completely dissipated. . .
D5 Hemu Village under the Snow Mountain
Today's Hemu itinerary was specially added by Dad Qi when planning the route. Dad Qi had heard about Hemu for a long time, and he never forgot. When leaving Kanas, looking back at the snow-capped mountains in the distance from the car window, it is still so charming and fascinating.
Hemu Village, a village under the jurisdiction of Kanas Mongolian Township in Burqin County, is the concentrated residence of Tuwa people. It is one of the only three Tuwa villages left, the other two are Kanas Village and Bai The houses in Haba Village and Hemu Village are all made of logs, full of primitive and mysterious flavors, snow mountains, jungles, scattered wooden houses, small bridges and flowing water houses, smoke from cooking, and dandelions all over the mountains and plains. . . And what better place to fit the definition of Xanadu. The quiet and beautiful Hemu Village is known as the No. 1 Village in China. After being there, you can appreciate its unique charm everywhere.
In front of the house and behind the house, there are big wild dandelions. The water vapor of Kanas Lake and the nourishment of the snow-capped mountains make this land full of vitality.
The beauty of Hemu has no dead angle, and it remains the same from any angle.
Even if it is messy, even if it is done casually, what is a natural beauty, only Hemu.
Hemu is not the only one who is naturally beautiful. Qi Xiaobao, who is attracted by the dandelions everywhere, can hardly conceal his natural beauty in his naturally cute eyes. Seeing the cute baby's curious eyes makes Qi's father extremely gratified. In Qi's heart, It is not the most important thing for a child to become a great talent. The most important thing is to have a big mind, and a big mind requires a big vision. The nature of mountains and rivers is undoubtedly the most broadening horizon. Life is not just about living in front of you, but also poetry and the distance. Only when you know the distance can you yearn for the distance and reach the distance. This is Papa Qi’s own understanding.
Qi Xiaobao, who was searching up and down, blended into the countryside without any sense of disobedience, as if he had become a villager.
The herringbone-shaped pointed roof of Hemu Village interprets the beauty of geometry. Perhaps because of the long-term snow accumulation here in winter, the roofs of Hemu’s houses are very steep. The whole house is similar to an equilateral triangle.
The scenery is refreshing! You smile on your face, I am sweet in your heart, this is happiness.
Under the snow-capped mountains, looking for young people, in the mood for love, time is wonderful. .
Every piece of thick pine wood that makes up the wooden house must be dug and embedded, and stacked layer by layer. The gaps are filled with a kind of grass called "Nuck". The land supports a warm home for the owner, and also creates an architectural style unique to the Dawei people.
Qi's mother is the representative of our family's appearance. Qi's father is a natural image school. He only wants to take pictures for reality, and does not use filters or special effects. Therefore, Qi's mother often complains why she doesn't "slim face and smooth the skin". Yes, I don't As a processor of images, I only work as a porter of images. I personally think that it is enough to retain the most real beauty of that moment.
Stubborn dandelions, once they find their favorite pure land, will bloom into a sea of flowers, which is a rare sight. There will be no second Hemu in the world, nor will there be such overwhelming dandelions. Reluctantly leaving Hemu, my eyes and hearts are filled with dandelions all over the mountains and plains. I think, even if the mountains are high and the roads are far away, and the rivers and lakes are unpredictable, I will come again.
D6 Dahe West to Burqin Colorful Beach
Farewell to Hemu Village, without a word all the way, rushed to the colorful beach by the Irtysh River before sunset. The colorful beach is named after the Yardang landform. The Yardang here is concentrated on the river beach, against the backdrop of the Irtysh River. , is extraordinarily magnificent and gorgeous.
Qi Xiaobao walks through a remnant of Populus euphratica. The picture is full of sense, as if a dialogue spanning thousands of years. Life is so magical. Populus euphratica grows in an extreme arid environment. It is said that it will not die for a thousand years, and it will be immortal for a thousand years after death, showing life everywhere. His stubbornness and tenacity, the spirit of Populus euphratica, is worth learning.
Touch it, this is the time of a thousand years, this is the thickness of years.
Borrow poplar wood to take a photo together. No matter how strong a life is, it can't stand the wear and tear of the years. Without the happiness of the moment, how can it be forever? Preserving the beauty of every moment is a big deal.
The Yadans in the colorful beach are of different shapes and colorful.
The lyrics of "The Great River Flows Eastward" do not apply here. The Irtysh River is the only river in our country that flows westward into the Arctic Ocean. With this river as a link, I suddenly feel that the Arctic Ocean is not so far away. When I write this, Dad Qi’s heart Surging, I am moved by the vastness of our country, and also by those martyrs who fought for every inch of land for the country, as well as the soldiers who are currently guarding the border! "All the years are quiet and beautiful, because someone has carried the weight for you!" This sentence does not seem hypocritical at all here. When you arrive in Xinjiang, you will understand the meaning of this sentence more personally.
My little sister should have some opinions. In front of the camera, our goddess can laugh out the two idioms "the same" and "deja vu". No wonder some people say that people of every age have their own exclusive photo poses. , I accidentally exposed my age! hehe! If you tell the truth, you will be beaten.
The Irtysh River flows quietly, coming from far away and going far away. . .
Suddenly I felt that the sky was getting dark, and we should go too. The happy Qi Xiaobao played against the wind, let's go, go to Burqin City to eat fish! Ha ha. .
D7 Desolate Land Karamay Devil City
Located in the Devil City of Karamay, the wind-eroded Yardang landform is one of the locations of the movies "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "No Man's Land". All kinds of strange shapes and the uncanny workmanship of nature just satisfy Qi Xiaobao's active imagination. force.
All the works here are from a talented artist, that is "Wind".
As far as the eye can see, there are very weird shapes. It seems that Mr. Feng's thinking is very strange.
Under the scorching sun, the temperature in Devil City is very high. The water that was applied to the skin in Kanas a few days ago seems to be dried up. Qi's mother didn't even bother to pose, and she looked very lazy.
Doesn't this look like a Buddha statue, with eyes looking at the nose, nose looking at the mouth, and mouth looking at the chin! Ha ha!
Who can guess the weirdness of "Mr. Feng"?
It was like hearing the bells of a temple. . Amitabha. .
There are traces of the wind everywhere, the lines of the wind.
Qi Xiaobao hides behind his mother, no matter how active an elf is, it can't stand up to the scorching weather. The Devil City is worthy of its name.
Qi Xiaobao couldn't bear it and took a few steps forward, but the scorching ground didn't give him face, so he walked back soon, the little baby is also aware of current affairs.
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon stills sculpture, the one wielding the sword should be Yujiaolong played by Zhang Ziyi
There is no grass on the ground of the Devil City, and the sky above the Devil City is high and the clouds are light
Except for the pumping units swinging up and down in the Karamay Oilfield in the distance, it looks lifeless here. It is said that the underground contains 80% of the world's oil and gas reserves. Compared with the current position of my country's petrochemical production in the world, it seems that there is still a lot from reserves to production. Big room for improvement.
After escaping from the hot Devil City, the next stop is Sailimu Lake.
D8 The last tear of the Atlantic Ocean - Sailimu Lake
It was extremely hot yesterday in Devil City, and today it was freezing cold in Sailimu Lake. As soon as I got off the bus at the entrance of the scenic spot, I felt that the wind was so strong that it was difficult to walk. As far as travel is concerned, today is not a good weather, but it is difficult I got this trip, but I felt sorry for missing it, so I simply put on the last clothes and came to the lake against the wind. Next, wherever he went, there was such a style of painting. Qi's mother no longer cared about being beautiful, and it would be good if she didn't float away. Qi Xiaobao was even more so, treating the wind as a game.
The churning Sailimu Lake, you can imagine how beautiful it is when the wind is calm! The snow-capped mountains in the distance and the deep blue water of the lake speak of a kind of blue sadness. Han Shao said that this is like a glass of blue cocktail. If it is a cocktail, I am afraid that today it has been added with vodka, which makes it appear so violent and strong.
Bewitched by the wind, the lake tried its best to turn itself into the appearance of the sea. Look, the huge waves are overwhelming! Listen, that's deafening! What is not the feeling of the seaside? It seems that Sailimu Lake is not an old actor, but also an old actor! Ha ha!
Qi Xiaobao was wrapped up like a walking doll by his parents, playing with stones by the lake
The family who tried their best to fight against the strong wind failed to get a decent group photo in the end.
Thinking of the song "Yezi" with a weird style: why the stronger the wind, the more turbulent my heart is. . Come on, pretend to be calm, try to pretend to be calm and punch a card! Ha ha!
Seeing that Qi's mother didn't stop and the wind was messy, and let them take the shuttle bus in the scenic spot first, I stayed to find the angle and take a few photos, which was not in vain. Look at this beauty who has been blown into wool, from the time she came in to the time she left, she never recovered. If you want to survive, tell me that there should be a note here: Dressing indiscriminately in cold weather does not represent the usual style. Ha ha!
This wind! This wave!
I finally found a perfect angle, which can at least explain the beauty of Sailimu Lake.
Sailimu Lake, the highest and most beautiful alpine lake in Xinjiang, is the last place where the warm and humid Atlantic air flows to the east. It is known as "the last tear of the Atlantic Ocean". No wonder it is blue.
Under the chromatic aberration of the blue sea of flowers, the lake looks even bluer. If the wind is calm, I don’t know how beautiful it is. . Maybe Sailimu Lake didn't want us to underestimate her, so he lost his temper. Got it, Sailimei! Next time I will make a special trip to meet you, Sailimu Lake, it is rare to see, and even more worth seeing. .
Sailimu Lake turns around a mountain, which is the Guozigou Grand Canyon. A big snow mountain rushes towards you. At the foot of the snow mountain is the famous Guozigou Bridge. It is said that the highest bridge deck of the Guozigou Bridge is 180 meters from the bottom of the valley. It is an absolute century project. .
Qi's mother took Qi Xiaobao and looked at the snow-capped mountains in the distance to pray. Since returning from Tibet by bicycle, we have been in awe of the mountains and rivers. There are mountains everywhere in our hearts, and there are seas in our hearts. .
Qi's mother wanted to take a picture of the snow mountain, and the playful Qi Xiaobao came to steal the spotlight. This posture of kneeling on one knee, is this a marriage proposal? Come on, that's my wife! Ha ha! Under the snow mountain, Qi Xiaobao's cute action immediately filled the picture with a sense of happiness.
Cross Guozigou, and soon enter the jurisdiction of Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture. There is a slowly flowing river on the side of the road. I googled the river. This is the Ili River, a well-known river in northern Xinjiang. Ili River is the interior of Central Asia. The Lu River is also an international river that crosses China and Kazakhstan.
In an extremely inland arid region like Xinjiang, everything is possible when there is water.
The Yili River makes the land here glow with vitality and lush greenery.
D9 Grassland Covenant - Nalati & Bayinbulak
The Nalati Grassland is located in Xinyuan County, Ili Prefecture. It is called Baiyangpo in Kazakhstan. It is one of the four major grasslands in the world. The grassland here belongs to the alpine grassland. The area with the highest concentration of ethnic population. As soon as he entered the grassland, Qi Xiaobao was attracted by the caravan pulled by the male goat. For the sake of safety, he had to be accompanied by Qi's mother. Look at the unhappy look of the goat, and save face. Qi Xiaobao was also very nervous when he didn't see us. ?
In recent years, we have arranged a trip to the grasslands of Inner Mongolia every year, so we are not surprised by the grasslands, so we are relatively calm and calm, but a few days ago, it was either the Gobi or the desert, or the scorching Yadan Devil City, so it was around 20 degrees Nalati feels very comfortable, especially in a relaxed mood. It is rare that the model is in a good mood and the photographer is in a good state, so I just took a few more beautiful photos.
Here's another one, traveling with a baby, it's rare to have a concave shape
The doll has run away, but she still has to chase it back, Qi Xiaobao, can we stop being so unrestrained and love freedom?
The worried baby was brought back by the old mother. There are thousands of roads, safety first!
Qi Xiaobao, who is intermittently deep, has temporarily switched from the extensive mode to the elegant mode, hold back, don't worry about changing channels!
The Nalati Grassland feels long and delicate. The grass here is green and soft. The microclimate formed by the unique geography of the Tianshan Mountains presents a different temperature and humidity environment from other areas in Xinjiang. These unknown flowers, the petals of violets And light yellow flower core, dotted with green grassland, looks fresh and elegant.
Horses, cattle and sheep are indispensable in the grasslands. These creatures make the grasslands full of the spirituality of life.
At noon, Qi Xiaobao couldn’t help but taste this delicacy after a barbecue meal. Fresh mutton skewers from the Nalati Grassland worn by fresh red willow branches. The meat is fresh and tender. This is the first big meat skewer in life.
To mention Bayinbulak, Nala needs to take a section of the famous Duku Highway. The Duku Highway is 561 kilometers long. Along the way, there are high mountains, deep rivers and canyons, and many ethnic minority areas are connected. Therefore, it was selected as "Landscape Avenue that runs through the backbone of Tianshan Mountain" by "China National Geographic Magazine". Affected by natural factors such as snowfall and icing in the Tianshan Mountains in winter, the Duku Highway is only open for five months a year, and winter traffic control will be implemented for seven months from the end of September to May of the following year. It is conceivable what kind of road this is. Fortunately, when we arrived, it happened to be open to traffic for a few days, and there were not too many vehicles on the road.
Walking on the Duku Highway, the snow-capped mountains in the distance are lined up, which is spectacular.
Qi's mother couldn't help but want to take a photo with the snow mountain group, Qi Xiaobao resolutely steals the spotlight, and the snow mountain group in the distance guards silently, quiet and peaceful
The residual snow on the shoulders of the road has turned into ice. You can imagine how thick the snow is on the road in winter. A newborn calf is not afraid of tigers.
The naughty Qi Xiaobao still didn't give up, so he found a sharp stone and carved it.
The thickness of this snow slope is more than two meters. No wonder it takes a long time to close the road in winter. Even tanks cannot drive through such thick snow. It is conceivable that the road workers have to work hard every year before the opening to traffic!
With the help of his father, Qi Xiaobao's work was completed, a car looming on the snow-covered section
The Duku Highway can be called a landscape avenue. Just now, it was a mountainous and snow-covered grassland. Now it is a grassland full of green grass. The grassland with snow-capped mountains as a distant view is full of layers and will not feel boring at all. It’s also interesting to think about it. The grasslands of Inner Mongolia are vast and vast, so people easily feel lonely when walking in the world. No wonder there are melodious long tunes and moaning matouqin there. Perhaps the endless environment makes people feel sad, Ba The grassland in Yinbuluk is different. It does not have the vastness of the Mongolian grassland, but there are snow-capped mountains in the distance to guide the herdsmen.
As soon as he parked the car, Qi Xiaobao plunged headlong into the grassland, not inferior to the horses that were having fun in the distance.
Tired of running, the little baby simply sat down on the grassland, with a few small wild flowers dotted beside him, not to mention, he was quite good at finding a place!
The snow-capped mountains, grasslands, and grazing cattle and sheep form an interesting scene, together with the cute and cute Qi Xiaobao, they form a harmonious picture of heaven, earth and man. This scene is peaceful and beautiful. .
Seeing the familiar yurts, Bayinbulak belongs to Guolen Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture and Jingxian County. The main ethnic group is Mongolian. This is the nomadic belt of Huite tribe in Moxi Mongolia. During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, the Turghut Mongolian tribe led by Ubashi was placed.
At the grassland section, the road goes straight ahead, giving the illusion of driving to the snow-capped mountains ahead. In fact, a person's life is not like this Duku road, sometimes winding, sometimes flat, sometimes crossing hills, sometimes passing through the bottom of the valley, the road is impossible The road is always smooth, so is life, whether it is great, or ordinary, fast, or slow, as long as you are still on the road, it is enough. .
The Tongtian River in Bayanbulak Grassland has nine bends and eighteen bends. The sun leaks out of the clouds and sprinkles on the Jiuqu River. .
Qi's father is still standing there feeling disappointed, Qi's mother has looked back and smiled, oh! It's time to take a picture! It suddenly dawned on me: life is full of twists and turns, simplicity is happiness. take pictures? shoot! Click! "Is it beautiful?" "Beautiful!"
The Bayinbulak Grassland means "the never-ending sweet spring" in the Mongolian language, and "the plain of stars" in the Turkic language. Everything is so beautiful, and this beautiful style of painting belongs to Bayinbulak. It was getting late, and the original plan was to continue on for 275 kilometers and stay overnight in Hejing County. You need to take Provincial Highway 321 to National Highway 218. Along the road, there are high mountains and deep valleys. I heard that this road is a section with many coal trucks, so I did the math. Time, it takes 5 hours by car, it is almost midnight, with my wife and children, the night is dark and windy, and the mountain road is rough, I am still uneasy, and I will not let it go! Finally decided to return to the small town of Nalati for accommodation.
D10 A road through the cycle of four seasons - Duku Highway
From Nala to Turpan, you need to take the direction of Karamay on the Duku Highway, and cross the Tianshan Mountains to the south. It is said that there are four seasons in a mountain, and the four seasons are different. Duku Highway, one road goes through four seasons, and flowers are blooming when Nalati starts. The vegetation is verdant, and the more you go up the Tianshan Mountains, the fewer trees there are, and the snow is simply behind, and the winter is bitter, and the hillside next to the road has been covered with heavy snow.
It's snowing so hard I can't see the mountains next to me
This is a place "sealed" by God. Look at the snowdrifts piled up on the side of the road. Today is June 9, and it should be the season of midsummer, but there is no summer atmosphere here. In Tianshan, there are four seasons on one mountain, and it really lives up to its reputation.
I found an ice waterfall on the side of the road. I felt that the pouring water turned into ice in an instant. From a distance, it still looked like flowing water. When I got closer, I found that it was ice. I don't know when the ice and snow will melt, maybe July or August, but the thickness of the ice surface, even if it melts, it will only be a few days, and most of the time it is still a world of ice and snow.
Even Qi's mother who was born in the Northeast, this scene is rare, Qi Xiaobao didn't know the danger under the ice, kicked and stomped with his legs up! It is not suitable to stay here for a long time, just flash after shooting!
D11 The grapes are ripe - Turpan
When we arrived in Turpan, it was back to midsummer. This midsummer is worthy of the name, and it is not an exaggeration to call it "severe summer". The golden hoop-shaped thermometer on the Flame Mountain, you read it right! It's 45 degrees. Yesterday it was still freezing on the Duku Highway in Tianshan Mountains, and today it was already roasting on the stove. During the trip to Xinjiang, in just a few days, you can read all the four seasons.
The big mound in front of me is Huoyan Mountain, which is said to be the hottest place in China. I believe it when I saw the golden cudgel just now. Huoyan Mountain, known as Chishi Mountain in ancient times, is located on the northern edge of the Turpan Basin, on the northern route of the ancient Silk Road. Oriented east-west. Huoyanshan, Kiziltag in the Uighur language, means "Red Mountain". The Tang people once called it "Volcano" because of its heat. It looks like a mound, but what we see is only a small part. The Huoyan Mountain is more than 100 kilometers long and 10 kilometers wide at its widest point. It is about 500 meters above sea level, and the main peak is 831.7 meters above sea level. In this bald mountain range of Huoyan Mountain, there is no grass and no birds. In midsummer, when the red sun is in the sky, the reddish-brown mountain is irradiated by the scorching sun, the sandstone is shining brightly, and the hot air flow is rolling up, just like raging flames, and the tongue of fire touches the sky, hence the name Flame Mountain.
The Flame Mountain, which Sun Dasheng could not fly over, has nothing but the unbearable heat. Without Princess Iron Fan's plantain fan, we didn't dare to stay any longer, so we went on a fast track, and there was a flash mob.
When you arrive in Turpan, if you don’t come to Karez, it’s like you haven’t climbed the Great Wall in Beijing, so the trip to Turpan basically comes to Karez. Qi Xiaobao was full of interest in exploring all the tunnels and tunnels, and all the places where the end could not be seen at a glance. He couldn't hold back anymore, and walked down the steps alone before buying the tickets.
Karez is an underground water conservancy project created by the wise working people in the dry land. It is purely helpless to draw out groundwater and turn the desert into an oasis. The working principle is to use the natural slope of the mountain to use the large amount of rainwater, glaciers and snowmelt that seeps into the ground in spring and summer to lead to surface irrigation to meet the needs of crops and domestic water. The Karez system consists of four main components: shafts, culverts, open channels and reservoirs. Karez wells operating under this principle have a stable flow rate and can ensure self-flowing irrigation with well water.
Culvert for underground water diversion.
Wellhead for fetching water
It’s not a technology flow, nor is it a history control. Some things in travel are just a quick look at the flowers. If you click to the end, you will explore it carefully if you are interested. It is more about getting close to nature, feeling the humanities, and pleasant mood. Out.
On the edge of the scenic spot, the grapes in Turpan are already bursting, remembering that the grapes in Turpan are ripe
Next to it, the brick house where grapes are dried, all four walls are stacked with red bricks, and the four walls are densely covered with air holes. This kind of house is called "Qunjie" by the local Uighurs, and it is called Yinfang in Chinese. This kind of building is very common in Turpan.
Sit down and have a sip of tea and take a short break. Today we will return to Urumqi, and tomorrow we will fly back to Beijing, Turpan, which is 200 kilometers away from Urumqi, about 2 hours by car. Today's itinerary is the end of this trip to Xinjiang.
Summary of the itinerary:
1. If you don’t go to Xinjiang, you don’t know how big Xinjiang is. Although we are mentally prepared, we are quite tired of traveling thousands of miles a day between scenic spots and scenic spots, especially Qi Xiaobao, who has traveled so long before he is 3 years old, it is really distressing! But the baby is still very good, he quickly adapted to the fatigue of the horses and horses, and enjoyed the journey very much. This is the result of tempering since he was a child. Give him a thumbs up!
2. If you don't go to Xinjiang, you don't know the vastness of the motherland. It is nearly 3,000 kilometers from Beijing to Urumqi, and it takes about 4 hours to fly by plane. The journey in northern Xinjiang is more than 3,000 kilometers. The driving in northern Xinjiang alone is enough to drive back to Beijing. The last part of our trip The west point is Sailimu Lake, which is close to Central Asia. Our motherland can be called a vast land and abundant resources.
3. If you don’t go to Xinjiang, you don’t know the beauty of Xinjiang. This road is the most classic scenery, whether it is Kanas, Hemu Village, or Sailimu, Bayinbulak, or Duku Highway, all the way is beautiful and worthwhile.
4. If you don't go to Xinjiang, you don't know the safety of Xinjiang. Seeing the stability maintenance and anti-terrorism measures here, the apprehension when we came here disappeared. The checkpoints along the road are equipped with testing equipment that is no less than the standard of the Capital Airport, and the security personnel who are always on guard have given the security of Xinjiang an iron guarantee. Not a single thief was seen along the way. Finally, the same sentence, all the years are quiet, because someone is carrying the weight for you, this is the most personal feeling of my trip to Xinjiang. In the middle of the night, Urumqi outside the window is still brightly lit. This is very Xinjiang.
goodbye! Urumqi. goodbye! Xinjiang.
