The sunshine of July is warmly sprinkled on this land,
The wind is light and the clouds are calm, flowers are in full bloom, mountains and rivers, quiet villages,
It is the gift of nature, the tranquility of time,
There are moving "singing voices" and wonderful "smiles" here,
There are "treasures" everywhere here, you need to find them.
I have traveled through Xinjiang three times and experienced Altay in two seasons,
In this midsummer July, harvest the beauty of summer again,
It's still the heartbeat of the first encounter~
Appreciation of beautiful pictures
Coco Tuohai Treasure Hunt
Depart from Urumqi, overlook the Tianshan Mountains, cross the endless desert, and come to this place called Fuyun in northern Xinjiang. Here is no longer a desolation, what greets everyone is a pure beauty of nature.
A song "The Shepherd of Keketuohai" sang this land, and the beautiful longing for the sweetheart brought us to understand the depths of northern Xinjiang-this picturesque Keketuohai.
Keketuohai is not only magnificent and beautiful, this land has the most wonderful gift of nature - gemstones, let us look forward to meeting them by chance, this is an unusual trip to northern Xinjiang, bestowed with the most suitable The name "Coco Tuohai Treasure Hunt".
◎Pure beauty, Coco Suli
Starting from Fuyun, passing through the winding mountain roads, the world suddenly turned green. With the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers, we came to Keketuohai. On the way into Keketuohai, we encountered the most beautiful wetland - Keke Suli.
You must know that the wetland is a paradise for animals. If you come earlier, you can see the daily life of many precious birds. This lake area also has a more down-to-earth name, Wild Duck Lake.
The scenic spot is not very big, and with the rich sunshine in northern Xinjiang, there are some small grass sheds for shade along the walking path along the lake. You can sit by the lake and enjoy the beauty of the lake while watching the scenery.
If you are a friend who wants to enjoy the natural charm, you must walk along the walking path on the lake and go deep into the wetland, so that you can see the beauty that really belongs to the wetland.
Every summer and autumn, a large number of red geese, white swans, gray cranes, sand gulls, wild ducks, etc. multiply and live here, creating a wonderful natural scenery of the wetland.
The wetland is composed of floating islands formed by reeds on the lake, and this environment also provides a very good living place for the birds, just like a charming beauty of "prairie country". Ecotourism should be like this right~
Take a look at the beauty of Kekesuli from the perspective of aerial photography. If you can go deeper into the wetland, you will have a different discovery~
◎The hometown of the shepherds - birch forest
In Keketuohai, there is a place, which is the hometown of the shepherd. Here, he misses the beekeeper in the distance and waits for his return. This is also the most beautiful place in Keketuohai every autumn - birch forest.
The birch forest is not far from the gate of the scenic spot. In summer, the birch forest is lush green, and the river runs through it.
Keketuohai is a scenic spot that surrounds the famous river Irtysh River in northern Xinjiang. Along the scenic spot, it can be accompanied by the galloping Irtysh River, and the rivers in the birch forest are also from the Irtysh River. branch. Why is the Irtysh River famous, because it is a magical river that runs northward, crosses the three countries, and finally flows into the Arctic Ocean.
The birch forest is also the place where the story of "The Shepherd of Keketuohai" takes place. We also follow the shepherd's waiting to feel the beauty of Keketuohai.
The area at the entrance is the most lively experience area. Horseback riding and camel riding are both projects to experience the lifestyle of local herdsmen. If you come here, you must experience it~ and horseback riding and camel riding are usually pulled by local people. In Baihua Walking around in the forest, I have to say that it really feels like a herdsman traveling, and the beautiful scenery adds a lot to this experience~
Some camels squat on the grass when they are not working. As long as they are not in dangerous areas, they can interact with them, which is too cute~
In fact, it’s okay for the camel to interact with you while sitting, but when it stands up, it’s overpowering, and if he wants to have a kiss again, it puts me under a lot of pressure. But the camels here seem to be well-raised, their faces are very clean, and they are very docile!
However, if you ask your friends to help you take a photo while riding a camel, you will find that "a person riding a camel walks in the scenery", which is so beautiful that it is like a painting.
Suddenly heard the sound of music, wow, it is the beginning of the national performance of Birch Forest! Every day on the stage in the birch forest, there are songs and dances from Kazakh girls. They wear colorful national costumes and dance gracefully. The audience can't help but twist together.
The birch forest’s herdsmen’s yurt is also a major feature. The stage is designed from half an open yurt, and the interior is full of local ethnic scenery. It’s really a place where love happens easily~
Not far from the stage is a real herdsman’s yurt. Although I didn’t enter to visit, I took a group photo with the lovely white yurt on the periphery. I thought that if I came here to live here for a few days in summer, it should be a wonderful pastoral life~
The Birch Forest Scenic Area is actually very large, and there is still a large area that is not open and cannot be reached. Some of them can only be overlooked from a distance, full of wildness, but the scenery is really beautiful!
After watching the performance, the lingering sound is lingering. We plan to take this aftertaste and go deep into the birch forest to feel the beauty of the place where the shepherd and the beekeeper love. , could it be left by the beekeeper?
If you go deep into the forest, you must be careful. Many grasslands are invisible wetlands. They are not dangerous, but they can be covered with water. Be an elf in the birch forest on the fallen tree trunk~
Pieces of birch forests will be dyed golden in autumn in northern Xinjiang, which is more beautiful like a fairy tale world. Although I have never been here in autumn, I have made up for the golden beauty of birch forests in my mind. If you look forward to seeing you next time.
◎The most magical landform, Shenzhong Mountain
If you want to say that Keketuohai is the most challenging scenic spot, it must belong to Shenzhong Mountain. If you want to see the most mysterious waterfall, you have to walk for 7 kilometers, which is a big test of physical fitness. However, in such a magnificent scenery, it was a way to enjoy nature at that time, and how long to walk depends on your own situation.
Shenzhong Mountain Scenic Area is a typical granite landform, with a bare and upright surface, and the part close to the ground is covered with vegetation, mostly white birch, green pine and Siberian spruce, all of which are very cold-resistant tree species.
And this mountain is located in the upper reaches of the Irtysh River, attached to both sides of the Irtysh River, all the way up the river, listening to the sound of the rushing water, very clear.
Shenzhong Mountain is not far away, and it is on your right when you walk to the Amir Sara Bridge. There were too many people on the Amersala Bridge, and no photos were taken, but the whole bridge was covered with red prayers, straddling the Irtysh River with people's expectations.
The water of the Irtysh River is blue in color, so beautiful that it is difficult for us to leave, staring at it for a long time, this may be the essence of Keketuohai~
In order to get a glimpse of the panorama of Shenzhong Mountain (mainly because we wanted to take a panorama), we started a mountain climbing trip. The viewing platform is located halfway up the mountain, and it takes only 5 minutes to climb there! This is also the official photo spot of the scenic spot, so let's not join in the fun, let's take a panoramic view of Shenzhong Mountain~
Shenzhong Mountain, also known as Amersala Peak, rises from the ground and is named after its shape like a giant bell. It is the highest in the Altai Mountains and a landmark scenic spot in Keketuohai. It can be seen that the surface is very smooth, and the vertical stripes are all formed by severe cold and weathering, which is very magical.
Walk forward from the photo spot and you will see a wild photo spot. There is no fence here and you can take a more intimate photo with Shenzhong Mountain~
The way to climb the mountain is like this, shuttling through the jungle trails, and there is a small atmosphere in the northern scenery every time you snap a photo.
Because the hiking time was too long, we all gave up the challenge, returned to the origin, and started aerial photography to see the beautiful scenery above the canyon. It is the same as the previous information, the mountains above are all smooth mountain surfaces, which is the same as the formation principle of Shenzhong Mountain, and the living vegetation is mostly cold-resistant tree species in extremely cold places~
The Irtysh River flows out along the canyon. Such a natural beauty makes many people intoxicated here~
◎Mysterious Treasure Hunt
If you have some knowledge about Keketuohai, you should know that Keketuohai is a famous mining area in China, and there are many rare metals, which are materials that have a very important demand for national construction.
Aquamarine is a gemstone that is abundant in Keketuohai. According to the locals, it can be seen everywhere in the ditch, which aroused our great curiosity~ Can it really be picked up anywhere? After all, it is a gem!
With question marks in our minds, we came to Gem Ditch, which is rich in aquamarine. The ditch surrounded by natural beauty made us even more confused.
Baoshigou, as its name suggests, is the place where gems are found, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, the river is below the path, very primitive, at first glance, it is really not easy to find gems!
There is a kind of mentality, when the friends discover gems one after another, but they find nothing, how anxious they will be! Encountering gems really depends on fate, sometimes just a glance away. Many sapphires flow down with the water, hidden deep in the flowing water, be careful!
Finally, with my hard work, I found the rough aquamarine in the water. The excitement at that moment was indescribable, and it was the first time in my life that I picked up a gemstone!
Wash it up, after all, it's stuck in the sand of the river!
Aquamarine belongs to beryl, and Keketuohai is rich in beryl. Beryl is the only raw material for extracting metal beryllium in China. Under the irradiation of light, the color is like the color of mint green, which is extremely beautiful. After all, it is the first gemstone I picked up, so I must praise it!
According to the local guide, at the top of the river is a hole that collects gems. These are the gems in the hole that have been washed down, so they can be picked up all the time, and there is a steady stream, but the gem hole has been sealed~
Most of the local roadside sales are rough gemstones picked up here!
After a short walk, there are not only horses and sheep here, but also a herdsman's home. We like the peaceful appearance of the years. The herdsmen here can pick up gems every day, so they are not surprised by our treasure hunting behavior.
Shuttle on the river and gravel, abandon the image of a lady, and soon, you will be able to harvest a lot of colorful treasures~
Today is indeed a satisfying day, and Keke Tuohai has become a treasure in my heart. This kind of experience is also the first time in my life~ Keke Tuohai Treasure Hunting, completed~
◎Keketuohai Geological Exhibition Hall
As mentioned earlier, Keketuohai is an important mineral resource area in China, so the town of Keketuohai has also become an important mineral tourism base. If it is your first time to come, then go to the Keketuohai Geological Exhibition Hall to learn about the "treasures" here~
The exhibition hall was originally a staff club, a typical Russian-style building, built in the 1950s, and now it has become an exhibition hall for the history and development of Keketuohai, giving tourists an in-depth understanding of Keketuohai.
Keketuohai, although not found on previous maps, has always been an important place in China. Most of the important metal elements for China's construction and technological development come from here. And Keketuohai is a spiritual symbol of hard work and hard work.
The exhibition hall is divided into two floors. The second floor displays the ore specimens found in the Keketuohai mining area. It also introduces what kind of ore extracts what elements, and what kind of products and buildings are used. The precious ore opened our eyes, and we learned a lot of different knowledge.
There is also a very precious treasure in the venue - the only "Irtysh Stone" in the world.
And the aquamarine we went to find in Baoshigou contains metal beryllium, which is an important material for China's aerospace, missiles, hydrogen bombs, satellite space remote sensing systems, etc., and is indispensable!
In addition to ore rough, the exhibition hall on the first floor also records the development of the Keketuohai mining area. From the discovery of mineral resources to the gathering of various scientific researchers, the silent struggle has led to the development of today's country. The heroic predecessors have shared their worries for the country, and the spirit of not being afraid of hardships and hard work is what everyone who visits the exhibition hall needs to understand and learn from!
There is a small room selling gemstones in the exhibition hall, and we were fortunate enough to see the beauty of gemstones and finished products here.
◎Field survey, No. 3 pit
After visiting the geological exhibition hall, you must come to the real mine to see it! Pit No. 3 is known as the "Natural Geological Museum" of Keketuohai, and it also enjoys international reputation! Because the No. 3 mine has a rich variety of rare metals, a large amount of reserves, and high quality, which is also rare in the world! Not only that, this mine once also paid off a huge foreign debt for the country, also known as the "hero mine"!
Overlooked from the air, the mountains in the distance and the mysterious and deep mines nearby, there are "treasures" here, and it is a very attractive geological landscape, which makes people sigh.
You know, such a mine pit is a rare rare metal deposit in the world, rich in rare metals such as beryllium, lithium, tantalum, niobium, rubidium, and cesium, as well as non-metals such as mica, asbestos, and quartz (this was later felt in the mine! ), as many as 86 kinds!
Approaching the mine pit, on the viewing platform, we can see the pool at the bottom of the mine, showing the color of the original aquamarine, full of mystery!
Who said that you can't take good-looking photos when you come to the mines! Today's topic is, steam age. It actually represents the metal texture of the post-industrial era and the development and development of industry, which echoes the metal discovery in the mine. This is also the style I most want to photograph in recent years. I didn’t expect to come to the mine to realize my dream~
After visiting the mine, we meandered up the mountain road on one side of the mine, and we were going to visit the real scene of the mine at close range! The mine on the No. 3 mine is called the Ayiguozi mine. It is named after the miners who discovered it, and it is also a typical cave-type mine.
The long mine is bottomless, and there are retro kerosene lamps on one side of the mine, as if the real scene of the mine was opened in 1949, full of mystery. Don't underestimate such a mine. When entering the mine, you must not only wear a helmet, but also rent a military coat! It's 35 degrees outside, but it's around zero degrees inside!
This is also a very good place to take pictures. I was already full of excitement when I arranged this attraction. It would be better if there is a kerosene lamp that can be held in hand, so that it can better show the feeling of treasure hunting in the mine~
All people who enter the cave must wear a hard hat and cannot take it off to ensure personal safety. If you need to take a perfect portrait photo like me, you can refer to my wearing method~ wear a hard hat on a wide-brimmed hat, wide-brimmed It can cover the existence of the helmet in front of the camera, but it can also ensure safety~ kill two birds with one stone~
The Aygozi Mine is about 800 meters long, and the cave is dark and cold. If you don’t follow the guide, you will easily get lost, and many trails are intricate.
Never miss a detail inside the cave, because when you forget to look up, you miss the quartz on the ceiling.
Not far from each other, there are displays of raw ore mined in the mine, and they will also show you the "dragon vein" of the mine, which is really amazing!
The restoration of some real scenes in the mine also brought everyone back to the scene of mining here decades ago, and the working people who worked hard in the mine at that time!
The visit to the mine also brought us to observe the rough rocks of the veins at close range, understand geological knowledge, understand ore mining, and better understand the hardships and difficulties of the predecessors miners who drilled rocks to dig treasures.
The last pure land on earth, Kanas
This place should be the earliest popular scenic spot in Xinjiang. The fate between me and this scenic spot is really time and time again. It is said that the three seasons collected are here-Kanas.
The first time I saw Kanas in the golden autumn, it was as beautiful as a fairyland in a fairy tale, and it was deeply recorded in my heart in that young age; the second time was the world like Frozen, so pure and white, I wanted to plunge into it Between this pure color; this time is the third time, it is the sweet taste of summer...
When going to Kanas, I usually choose both Hemu and Kanas. Hemu is the most beautiful village, and Kanas is the last pure land on earth. I have been here many times, but there are still too many. I didn't have time to punch in the beautiful scenery, so I can only make up for it slowly~
◎Running to freedom and longing, Hemu Huahai
If you want to ask what northern Xinjiang looks like in summer, it must be accompanied by a sea of flowers. The eyes are full of green, accompanied by the wind from the valley. On the way from the airport to Hemu, you can see a lot of flowers, lovely colors, stretching into pieces.
One of the most beautiful scenery of Hemu in this season is the sea of flowers. Whether you are traveling in the mountains or walking in the villages, flowers are blooming everywhere, which is so beautiful.
In order to get closer to nature, we came to the wild of Hemu to feel the mountains and plains of the sea of flowers~
The sea of flowers at the first stop is spread all over the hillsides. There is a nice name here——Heinbrak Flower Sea, which means "there are birch trees and spring water". Indeed, this sea of flowers surrounded by mountains is far away. There are mountains and forests. I originally wanted to enter the sea of flowers to get close, but who knows that the flowers are really tall, almost as tall as me, which means that entering the sea of flowers will be difficult.
Behind the sea of flowers is a stretch of birch forests. Evergreen is the best word to describe them. Although these trees are not green in winter, they will still stand tall and straight in the white world.
Ashike Huahai is the easiest place to remember when entering Hemu. The very flat land has the same meaning as his name "Pingdi". The local people named it so purely.
I also walked through this land in winter, and I remembered it the moment I entered it. It was here. Unexpectedly, it came back this summer.
The reason why I have a deep memory of this flat land is because of this hut on this flat land. This must be a herdsman's hut. It is closed in winter, and in summer, the owner will take the sheep and horses out for a walk... What a harmonious imagination...
I thought there was someone in the house, and I wanted the Kazakh lady to say hello to us. Unexpectedly, there was no one when I went down to the cabin. The door was closed with wooden slats, and weeds were overgrown.
Isn't this just the wonderful life in the countryside in the imagination? Although we can't enter the log cabin, it is the beauty of our imagination.
When I was a child, I had imagined the fairy tale world many times before my eyes, and walking in it wearing my favorite little skirt is as beautiful as a painting. The flower height of this sea of flowers is just right, and I can also enjoy the happiness of walking in the sea of flowers.
I would like to call this "the daily life of a rural girl" and smell the fragrance of flowers lightly. It is precisely the pure natural beauty of Hemu that there are so many beautiful flowers full of various sweet flavors.
◎It turned out that the beekeeper went to Kanas
In the song "The Shepherd of Keketuohai", the beekeeper missed by the shepherd went to the grassland a thousand miles away, and this grassland is Hemu's grassland. Following the longing of the song, we also visited the Hemu beekeeper who makes a living from beekeeping.
What kind of taste is it that the shepherd will never forget?
Among the green mountains, you can always see some beehives placed along the way, and those beautiful flowers are nearby. Swarms of bees surround the hive, producing honey hard.
It turned out that the beekeeper girl really came to this beautiful grassland, took root in Hemu, and worked hard to raise bees every day.
The beekeeper welcomed us warmly and patiently explained to us how bees work in the beehive.
The reason why Hemu's honey is sweet and high-quality is inseparable from the sunshine duration in Xinjiang and the purity of nature. As mentioned earlier, the flower sea of Hemu is very beautiful, the flowers bloom lushly, and the honey collected is naturally sweet. After a long time of labor, sweet honey is finally produced, which is the best gift that nature gives us.
Watching the hard work of the beekeepers, I especially admire their spirit of not being afraid of bees! We watched as they held up hives full of bees and brushed away the bees before everyone could taste the lumps of honey.
The work surrounded by bees made us really sweat for the beekeepers, but in fact they also enjoyed it, after all, what they finally reaped was sweetness that was countless times more than the hard work. No wonder such sweetness makes the shepherd unforgettable!
If you are not afraid of bees, you can approach the beehive to see what it looks like inside, but the premise is that you must not apply scented things, otherwise it will attract bees to follow, and the bees are not stinging because you are aggressive, but want to The sting will sting at any time, everyone must pay attention to safety in the wild~
◎The not-so-perfect Hemu sunrise
To Hemu, there are countless beautiful scenery that impressed photographers, it must be the morning fog of sunrise! This is one of the most beautiful shooting spots in China! However, the most beautiful sunrise and morning fog generally occur in autumn, when the temperature difference is large and the humidity is high, and the probability of encountering it in summer is not very high. Even so, we're going to try our luck, provided it doesn't rain.
Fortunately, the naivety gave us face. At least one side of the sky is blue sky and white clouds, and there is a hint of sunrise. We immediately set off for the best viewing spot in Hemu. I have to say that the Hemu viewing point really says that it takes 20 minutes to climb for 20 minutes. If the footsteps are slow, you have to add another ten minutes. The viewing platform is opposite the river in the village, and the height is really great!
Although there was no morning fog, and although the sun did not break through the thick clouds in the end, the faint sunshine still shone on this quiet village. Comfort is the word I can think of that best describes this kind of life.
The cabin was dyed a faint blush, very much like the village where the dwarfs lived in fairy tales, with occasional wisps of smoke curling up, full of the breath of life.
We stayed at the viewing platform for more than an hour and were unwilling to leave, because there are too many beautiful things that are changing, which are worth recording, those forests, those rivers, those villages, those flowers...
Facing the rising sun, walking through the lush hillside, the warm time with Hemu was captured by my friends~
The morning time in Xinjiang basically starts at 10 o'clock, so Hemu is so quiet in the early morning, as quiet as a sleeping baby that has not been awakened.
◎What I look forward to is the tranquility of Hemu
The time of Hemu, like the fragments of memory, is slow and can be pieced together. I have spent countless different times tasting different Hemu, let me slowly recall this primitive village in the Altay area.
The entire Hemu Township is located in the Hemu Grassland, surrounded by continuous mountains. It is also the village of the three major Tuva people in the Altay region. People who come here experience the life of different ethnic groups and the natural beauty of this land.
Before entering the village, fly up to the sky and take a look at the beauty of this land. The neat villages and beautiful river valleys are all the surprise pictures that Hemu brings us time and time again.
Now Hemu is even bigger. In addition to the distribution center at the entrance (which can also be regarded as a resort area where hotels gather), there are old villages and new villages, but in any case, the well-preserved log cabins are integrated into the natural beauty. The beautiful scenery is self-evident.
The hemu in this season is really beautiful. Many sentimental wooden house owners will plant a lot of flowers to make life more colorful.
Different from Hemu when I came here before, the road is good, the houses are beautifully repaired, and the village planning is very good, which makes people have an impulse to live. After all, you can enjoy the hustle and bustle of the city far away from here. A piece of peace of my own.
The new village is not open to traffic, and the old village can be reached within a ten-minute walk. The old village has also gone through various plannings in line with tourism. It has an original taste, but it is also bustlingly open, welcoming visitors from all over the world.
And what I like most is to record the beauty of the villages in those corners, the most primitive and simple Hemu style.
If it is said that what makes me have the urge to take pictures the most, it must be these new houses in the Hemu Transit Center. I have to say that these villas have restored the style of Hemu, and they are almost becoming Internet celebrity shooting spots. I saw the scenery full of flowers on the first day, which made my heart beat.
The whole new area is very easy to shoot, and the details reflect the beauty. Most of my photos of rural girls are done in this area~ If you like this kind of scenery, you can find your own world in this area~
Here is a series of pictures~
◎Stay in the Scenic Xirong B&B
I have been to Hemu before and lived in a local farmhouse. The conditions are really worrying, and I am always somewhat worried about the accommodation in Hemu! But I didn’t expect that Hemu, many years later, would actually incorporate modern life concepts, which raised the sense of travel to another level, and made my trip to Hemu full of good memories~
It restores the original appearance of the Hemu log cabin and the wonderful atmosphere surrounded by the sea of flowers. In the log cabin, the log design has a Nordic sense of sight. Considering that the latitude of Xinjiang is high, it does have the typical appearance of the northern scenery. If In the future, northern Xinjiang can also become a must-see beauty in the world, how wonderful it would be~
The design of the homestay is very warm. The bookcases in the closets, ethnic carpets, and sofas all make Hemu's country life full of modern texture. Friends will be full of joy when they gather here.
The B&Bs are duplex designs, a spiral staircase connects the two floors, one room downstairs and two beds in the loft upstairs, especially suitable for a family to come here for vacation, of course, if it is a group of girlfriends, it is also very interesting. Have a board game tonight!
The log cabin is simply the most suitable place to take pictures. Just pick up the bouquet, and you can take pictures full of rural flavor and full of romantic sentiment.
◎Three Bays of Kanas, a beautiful moment of chasing along the river
Kanas, known as the last pure land in the world, is not an exaggeration at all. Kanas is really as beautiful as a fairyland. The magnificent scenery of mountains and rivers, the mysterious Kanas Lake, there are too many surprises, only here will be engraved in everyone's eyes.
As the most popular scenic spot in northern Xinjiang, Kanas is crowded with people no matter what season it is. When I come to this land again, I still hope to record every beauty of her with the camera.
After all, it is the third time I have walked the road in Kanas, and I can basically memorize all the scenery. On the way to the service center, you must first pass through the most beautiful three bays in Kanas - Wolong Bay and Moon Bay , Fairy Bay.
The first stop is Wolong Bay. Rather than talking about the bay, it is better to say that the tidal flat in the middle is in the shape of a dragon. If you have aerial photography, you can still see it! I haven't taken a good portrait before, so naturally I can't give up this opportunity. Through the drop of the viewing platform, I got a lot of beautiful scenery with the green Kanas River in the background.
In summer, there will be emergencies. Halfway through playing in Wolong Bay, there is a sudden heavy rain. Moon Bay is not displayed at all, and it is covered in thick fog. I still haven’t seen it until the day I leave. It will eventually become this itinerary. Most pity place. Put a picture of Moon Bay in winter to let everyone feel the most beautiful Moon Bay in Kanas!
Taking advantage of the time when the rainstorm stopped at noon, we made up the nearest Shenxian Bay. The forest and grassland in front of Shenxian Bay are lush and yearning, and the sun shines here, and many people quietly walk to the riverside.
If it wasn't for the limited time, I would also like to go for a walk in nature and feel the fresh taste from summer, which is the purest beauty.
There are often such cabins in the scenic area. If you encounter a cabin in the forest, remember to take a group photo~
◎Kanas Lake, the touchable color of fairyland
The Kanas scenic area is very large, and there are so many things to play. Many people go to the distribution center to choose, depending on the number of days they play. Therefore, many people who go to Guanyutai to see the distant view of Kanas Lake automatically give up the scenery of Kanas Lake.
I have been to Kanas in 12 years, and I have always been obsessed with Kanas Lake. This is not only a dense virgin forest, but also a river that is like aquamarine in Kanas. Listen to their stories story.
This road is not long, and it is the road to the cruise ship. From here, you can take a cruise ship and visit the scenery of Kanas Lake in depth. Of course, many people look forward to meeting the legendary Kanas water monster!
The color of the forest and river water, here is like the kingdom of elves, there will be countless fantasies, and it is also one of the best places to take pictures.
Near the end, the river becomes very turbulent, because the lake is suddenly compressed into a very narrow channel, rushing on and on.
◎Kanas Water Monster, have you seen it?
This is the place that almost became a pity during this trip to northern Xinjiang. Before the Kanas Lake was finished, there was a sudden heavy rain, and the whole Kanas was shrouded in dark clouds. Although such bad weather made us not want to go anymore, Guanyu Terrace is about to undergo renovation this year.
With the mentality of giving it a try, we went up to the top of the mountain, and the fish viewing platform was open, but the sky was not good. The two little friends picked up the umbrella and planned to try it out, and the rest of us were on standby in the car.
Speaking of which, I really didn’t want to make us regret this day, but within half an hour, the sky cleared up more than half, and I immediately picked up the camera and set off. In fact, it’s not that I haven’t photographed the panorama of Kanas Lake. The two times I’ve been here are all in good weather, but I’ve never photographed Kanas Lake in summer. Let’s go for a while and take some photos~
As a result, I just walked a little fast, that is, more than ten minutes, and I was almost at the top of the mountain... This made me feel a little unbelievable, but at the same time I successfully recorded the whole journey Stunning view of Kanas Lake.
Guanyutai, the best viewing platform in Kanas, is also one of the must-see spots. It is more than 2,000 meters above sea level, and you can see the most beautiful bend of Kanas Lake.
Along the way, I will actually recall many of the roads I have traveled here. It turns out that the stories of each step have been deeply engraved in my mind, the scenery that has basically remained unchanged, and me...
On the top of Guanyutai, Kanas Lake is as beautiful as a fairyland after a rainy day. It is an alpine lake and the deepest moraine barrier lake in China. Everyone came here especially to see the mysterious water monster in Kanas, but I didn't see it after three visits.
The wind at the top of Guanyutai Mountain was really strong, and the sky became cloudy after a while. Fortunately, the beautiful scenery has been stored in the camera, and I am satisfied to go down the mountain. If you are not in a hurry, you must take a picture of the grassland on the downhill road, it is really beautiful!
◎Integrate into the local area and visit Tuva people at home
There are natural scenery in Kanas, and of course cultural experience. Tuva people’s home visit is the most local experience in Kanas. The Mongolian Tuva people are unique to the Kanas area, so their villages are now Hemu, Baihaba and Kanas villages.
Near the visitor center, rows of cabins in the forest take us into the life of the Tuva people.
The Tuva people are a nomadic people left in Kanas. They are good at riding, skiing, singing and dancing. Now they are classified as Mongolian, and their way of life is still relatively primitive.
For important guests, cabaret performances and banquets are the best ways to entertain. And the banquet is held in such a circular pointed cabin. Everyone sat around a small round wooden table and watched a Tuva performance.
Tuva people’s unique musical instrument Sur pipe body has three air holes. When playing, one end of the instrument is set on the teeth to play a flavor and let us feel the Kanas style.
There are milk bumps and snacks on the table, and the host will pour milk tea for the distinguished guests. The milk tea can be filled with various spices. In the slightly cold environment of Kanas, it is like sending charcoal in the snow.
The live performance of the Khan Dega band made us feel the passionate and unique local music, as if we have integrated into this land and this nation. Swing together to this unique tune.
Home visits also allow you to see where they house their precious displays, including their most prized national dress, a portrait of Genghis Khan!
Many of the utensils used by this nation have never been seen before, such as this leather-like thing for pounding yogurt.
Locals who are good at skiing will have fur-wrapped snowboards, which is so cool!
The Tuva people’s home visit also made us more aware of the perfect combination of people and scenery in the Kanas area. In the sound of wonderful music, we welcome the arrival of the sunset one day. The rainbow after the rain is just like our beautiful scenery today. The harvest is unforgettable.
goodbye
The banquet will end eventually, but we will also meet again in the future...
Farewell to Keketuohai, Kanas...
On the top of the majestic Tianshan Mountains, the clouds and mists cleared up, as if to bid farewell to this trip to Xinjiang...
The beautiful scenery will eventually be turned into pictures and texts, which will be permanently recorded in my memory...
