【trailer】

Kanas in September has already entered the late autumn, golden yellow has become the main color of this land, and it is also the most beautiful season in Kanas. Kanas in autumn is colorful, with golden trees, emerald green lakes, blue sky, and pure white clouds, which together show visitors a magnificent picture of mountains and rivers in northern Xinjiang. The best place to draw is Guanyutai, which is also the highest point of Kanas scenic spot.

When it comes to autumn colors, many people will have pictures in their minds, and the autumn colors of Kanas will always make people fascinated. The most famous picture is this autumn color picture of Moon Bay. The dense forest is divided into two parts.

In the depths of the Kanas scenic area, there is such a village like a paradise - Baihaba, which is located on the border between China and Kazakhstan, and has the reputation of the first village in the Northwest. The dense golden pine forests on the Altai Mountains extend all the way to Baihaba Village. The wooden houses of the villagers and the fences for raising livestock are scattered in the pine forests and birch forests. It is peaceful and peaceful. "China Geography" also commented here It is one of the eight most beautiful small towns in China.

In northern Xinjiang in autumn, you can see the autumn colors everywhere that people can't take their eyes off. This is also the picturesque scenery that I have been yearning for since I was a student. On the way from Kanas to Hemu, I was deeply attracted by the scenery outside the car window along the way. In Xinjiang, freeze a good time with your beloved.

Beside the beautiful Kanas Lake, there is such a village called "God's private land" - Hemu, which has always been known as "the first village in China". The most fascinating thing about Hemu Village is the intoxicating autumn colors of Wanshan Red. The smoke from cooking houses rises slowly in the autumn colors, forming a dreamlike smoke belt, which is better than a fairyland.

If Kanas is a photography paradise of natural scenery, then Hemu is the god's private land combining natural scenery with characteristic customs. When I came to Hemu Village, the small wooden houses with Tuva style together with the snow-capped mountains, forests, and grasslands formed a unique landscape. You can find any place to take pictures, and the pictures in the camera are so beautiful. Is it the scene in front of you or the people.

Hemu is beautiful, surrounded by forests like oil paintings, and Hemu River flows there. Almost everyone who comes to Hemu will climb up the hill next to the village to overlook the panorama of the whole village. We do not, in our eyes, walk together with each other, or walk in the village, or sit on the grass and look at the whole village. Autumn is a time of great beauty.

Autumn in northern Xinjiang comes early and goes early. It only takes about ten days from the beginning to the end. After ten days, it will enter the long and cold winter. The car had just driven out of Hemu Mountain Villa, and was still circling on the mountain road, when it encountered a heavy snow like goose feathers. In an instant, the mountains and forests in front of us were covered with a layer of white carpet. This is the unique autumn in northern Xinjiang.

Walking out of the sea of forests and entering the grassland for the first time, the colorful beach without sunlight is still colorful. Although it is not as spectacular as Zhangye Danxia, it integrates Danxia landforms, river valleys, and Populus euphratica forest landscapes. There is also the only river in my country that flows to the Arctic Ocean. It is said that it is a scene that cannot be missed when you come to northern Xinjiang.

Late autumn comes quietly, the scenery still exists, but with just one turn around, everything has come to nothing. Autumn in northern Xinjiang is like this. When you turn around, there is a gust of autumn wind, and the leaves fall back to their roots. In the white birch forest in Keketuohai, a thick layer of withered and yellow fallen leaves has accumulated, and when a gust of wind blows, the leaves are flying all over the sky...

In addition to watching the scenery and enjoying the autumn scenery, the No. 3 mine in Keketuohai must be the most unmissable attraction. This is the largest mine in the world. It is known as the "Museum of Geology and Mineral Resources" at home and abroad. add". That is, this pit made immortal contributions to the explosion of my country's first atomic bomb and hydrogen bomb. This big pit not only provided the necessary rare metals for China's first nuclear bomb, but also provided the necessary rare metals for the successful explosion of nuclear bombs and the aerospace industry. And the development of related cutting-edge technology provides a solid material foundation and financial backing.

【Preface】

I have been walking on the road, and friends around me always ask me such a question, "Where is the place you most want to go?" My answer has never changed, and that place is Xinjiang. I still remember the first time I came to Xinjiang in April last year. It was an indescribable excitement. Although it was only the early spring, I still felt the charm of this land.

Back to this land again, I am more excited than the first time, because this time in the late autumn of September, I came to northern Xinjiang, the most beautiful autumn in China, to enjoy autumn with my beloved. She and I met for the first time in Northwest China. This time, we went to the mountains and seas with my beloved to make love for Xinjiang.

【Xinjiang food recommendation】

Every city has its unique taste, and Xinjiang is a special case, because the food in Xinjiang is so rich that it is difficult for you to tell what the unique taste of Xinjiang is.

As one of the top ten classic dishes in Xinjiang, Xinjiang Dapan Chicken can be said to be a delicacy that must not be missed when coming to Xinjiang. In fact, in our daily life, Dapan Chicken is more familiar than other Xinjiang delicacies, but When I came to Xinjiang to taste the big plate chicken here, I had to sigh the authentic and delicious taste. Oily chicken nuggets, soft and waxy potatoes, and firm belt noodles are all indispensable. With dried chili and coriander, the color is very colorful, it is really beautiful, the taste is spicy and fragrant, spicy and refreshing.

Hand pilaf, called "Polao" in Uighur, is a kind of meal loved by the Uyghur, Uzbek and other ethnic people in Xinjiang. The pure Xinjiang people really eat it with their hands, so it is called "pilaf" in Chinese . The main raw materials of pilaf are rice, mutton, carrots, onions and clear oil. The rice made by mixing them is shiny, fragrant and delicious.

If you are a mutton lover like me, then Xinjiang cuisine will definitely make you fall in love with this place, because there are so many mutton-related delicacies here. Boiled mutton, this is a delicacy that cannot be tasted in most parts of the country, because this cooking method has high requirements for mutton, and mutton must not have a strong smell. This is the case for mutton in Xinjiang. You only need to add mutton and carrots to the water Cook together, so that you can taste the deliciousness of the lamb.

Xinjiang Meatball Soup, there is a delicacy in Xinjiang called "Meatball Soup", this delicacy is the crystallization of the wisdom of the Hui people in Xinjiang, and it is also a fast food for Xinjiang people. Although meatball soup used to be the last dish of Xinjiang people's family banquet, which means to leave after eating, but now Xinjiang people can't live without it. A bowl of steaming meatball soup is a good meal. meals.

In Xinjiang, not only the big plate chicken is fascinating, but also the tempting pepper chicken is an irresistible delicacy. The selected chickens are all free-range chickens. A variety of Chinese herbal medicines are added during the cooking process. After cooking, the ice water is taken out to make the meat more tough and chewy. The prepared ingredients such as special pepper and sesame oil are poured into the shredded chicken and mixed well. The taste is spicy and delicious, and the aftertaste is endless.

Xinjiang noodles, the previous Xinjiang trip faced many Xinjiang delicacies, the most memorable one is Xinjiang noodles, maybe it is its simple delicacy that makes me unforgettable. A piece of chewy noodles, a piece of freshly fried and delicious toppings, is a different kind of delicacy for travelers who are not used to the three meal times in Xinjiang.

【Accommodation recommendation】

With the persistence in my heart, I waited calmly. I look forward to a kind of happy existence, I miss it thousands of times, I look back thousands of times, just looking for a warm home for my heart...

Jiadengyu: Birch Forest Resort Hotel

In order to protect the ecology of the Kanas Scenic Area, many small wooden houses for accommodation in the scenic area have been demolished, and the Jiadengyu accommodation area is closer to the scenic area. There are hotels and guest houses here, among which the Baihualin Resort Hotel is The best hotel here.

Arriving at Baihualin Hotel at night, since it is the peak tourist season in northern Xinjiang, there are more tourists checking in at the front desk, and the decoration is still very distinctive. Baihualin is an extremely beautiful scenery in Kanas, so whether it is the lobby public The area is still the guest room area of the hotel, and birch wood can always be seen. The log-style rooms are extraordinarily warm under the lights, and each room is equipped with heating, which is very necessary for northern Xinjiang in late autumn, but the heating effect of the heating is not very obvious.

Hemu: Hemu Villa

There are two main options for accommodation in Hemu. The first one is to live in an inn in Hemu Village. The options are relatively high, and you don’t have to worry about the downtime of the traffic vehicles entering and leaving Hemu Village. You can see Hemu Village. At sunrise, you can also feel the lively night here, but the accommodation conditions in the village are relatively poor, and it is not recommended if you have a lot of luggage, because it is very inconvenient to carry luggage to the scenic spot. The second option is to live outside the scenic spot. For example, the Hemu Villa where we stayed during this trip is right at the traffic interchange of Hemu Scenic Area. The accommodation conditions are good. You can walk to the interchange and take a car to enter Hemu Village, which is still very good. It's convenient, but the only downside is that you can't enter Hemu Village during the outage of traffic vehicles, and you can't see the sunrise of Hemu.

Hemu Villa is located at the entrance of Hemu Village, adjacent to the traffic interchange in the scenic area, which can be said to be very convenient. The entire villa is built in the style of Tuva wooden houses, which fully embodies the modern architectural concept of original ecology and integration with the environment. The wooden houses stand in the sea of flowers, which is still very dreamy.

When I came to the villa with the drizzle, the temperature of the hemu in late autumn dropped sharply with the drizzle. When I stepped into the guest room, the heating and floor heating made the whole room extra warm. Looking around the room, almost everything you can see is made of wood. The furniture in the villa is made of logs, and is equipped with floor heating, temperature-controllable electric heating, military coats and other winter heating equipment.

[DAY 1 Beautiful Kanas, three rainbows hanging in the sky]

Destined to be an unforgettable journey in Xinjiang, the beginning of the journey was already exciting enough. The alarm clock did not ring at 5 o'clock in the morning, and we also ushered in the first missed flight in our life. Fortunately, the flight after the rebooking arrived in Urumqi on time and caught up on time. The flight to Kanas, a wonderful journey started by missing the plane.

Kanas in September ushered in the most beautiful time of the year, tourists from all over the country gathered in this magnificent northern Xinjiang. When you come to Kanas Scenic Area, there are two ways to visit. The first is to book a self-driving tour online in advance, and the second is to take the traffic car at the entrance of the scenic spot. In order to have more fun and freedom, we choose the Self-driving, but most of the scenic spots in Kanas are winding mountain roads, and there are many cars and narrow roads. If you choose to drive by yourself, you must pay attention to safety.

When the car entered the Kanas scenic spot, the scene in front of me seemed to have changed again. Outside the car window, the white birch forest kept receding backwards, and the golden leaves rustled in the autumn wind. I thought I would arrive at the scenic spot soon, but never What I thought was that it would take tens of minutes to drive into the scenic spot to reach our first stop, and I finally understood the true meaning of the phrase "If you don't go to Xinjiang, you don't know how big China is".

Although the journey is long, the ever-changing scenery on the side of the road always makes me so happy. Snow-capped peaks, dense forests, green hills and flat meadows are perfectly integrated and presented in front of your eyes. It can be described as a mountain with four scenes.

There is a place called Xinjiang. For us, Xinjiang is special. Why do you say that? For me, Xinjiang is my favorite place. For her, she has been to almost all provinces in China. Xinjiang is one of the few places that she has never been to. This is the first time she has come to Xinjiang. Together with me, in Under the witness of the most beautiful autumn colors.

Baihaba Village is our first stop in the Kanas scenic area. In order to prevent the ancient village from becoming noisy because of these vehicles, the self-driving car can only be parked in the parking lot about one kilometer away from Baihaba Village. , you can choose to walk or take a scenic traffic car to enter Baihaba Village. In the parking lot, you can see the junction of China and Kazakhstan, and the adjacent parking lot is facing the junction is the first post in the northwest of my country.

If Kanas is a quaint paradise, then Baihaba is a fairy tale world in a primitive natural environment. There are only three Tuva villages in the world, and Baihaba is the most complete one among them. Looking at the village in front of you, the colorful red, yellow, green, and brown forests are all dyed, like a palette, and the snow-capped peaks of the Altai Mountains are like a perfect oil painting.

The weather in northern Xinjiang is changeable. When entering Baihaba Village, the sky is still high and cloudy, and when we leave the village after lunch, it is already covered with dark clouds. In the autumn rain, when we got down from Guanyu Pavilion and prepared to go to the next stop, the sky was clear again. Perhaps it was this unpredictable weather that gave us such a beautiful view.

Kanas in September has already entered the late autumn, golden yellow has become the main color of this land, and it is also the most beautiful season in Kanas. Kanas in autumn is colorful, with golden trees, emerald green lakes, blue sky, and pure white clouds, which together show visitors a magnificent picture of mountains and rivers in northern Xinjiang. The best place to draw is Guanyu Pavilion, which is also the highest point of Kanas scenic spot.

There are some places where one cannot experience her beauty without being there, and this is the case here. Guanyutai is the same as Baihaba. Vehicles traveling by car are not allowed to enter. You need to go to the transfer center to buy a ticket to take the scenic spot traffic car. When I came to the wooden plank road halfway up the mountain, I looked at the snow-capped mountains in the distance, the yellow mountains nearby, and the winding road. Standing there, I couldn't help being open-minded, feeling my own insignificance, and awe of the greatness of nature.

"Kanas" is Mongolian, meaning "beautiful and mysterious lake". People are most familiar with the legend of the Kanas water monster. Most scholars now believe that the so-called water monster is a huge lake in the lake. big red fish. There are two ways to appreciate the beauty of Kanas Lake. The first is to climb up to the fish viewing platform to overlook it. The other is to come to the lake and take a cruise ship to experience the charm of the lake up close. We are lucky. I have experienced these two kinds one by one, and every time I saw a rainbow that is rarely seen on weekdays, maybe this is the magic of Kanas Lake.

A deep and wide lake is inlaid in the embrace of mountains, with clear waves, mountains, lakes, forests and grass, just like a fairyland in myths and legends.

[DAY 2 Strolling in God's private land, feeling the different charm of Hemu]

In northern Xinjiang in autumn, you can see the autumn colors everywhere that people can't take their eyes off. This is the scenery that I have been longing for since I was a student. On the way from Kanas to Hemu, I was deeply attracted by the scenery outside the car window along the way. When you meet your favorite scene, you will park your car in a temporary parking space on the side of the road, and have a good time with your beloved in Xinjiang and Kanas.

From Kanas to Hemu, the car continued to drive towards the depths of the secret place, and finally arrived at Hemu, but what greeted us was a patter of autumn rain. After the autumn rain, the temperature of Hemu continued to drop. Staying at the Hemu Villa at the traffic interchange in the outer scenic area of Hemu Village, in a warm room with heating, looking through the clean windows and looking at the mountains and forests not far away, looking forward to the early end of the rain.

Maybe it's the beautiful scenery of clouds and misty forests outside the window that attracts me too much, or the Hemu so close that I walked out of the room in the biting cold wind and the pattering rain, wanting to feel the scenery up close. A landscape of heaven and earth. Climbing up to a hillside next to the villa, you can overlook the entire Hemu Ancient Village here, and Hemu Village looks even quieter in the rain.

After an autumn rain, the autumn colors of Hemu seem to be more beautiful. Tourists are not allowed to enter the scenic spot by car. All people need to take the scenic spot traffic car at the transfer point to enter the village. The traffic car does not need to buy a ticket. There are many stops, just choose the place you want to go and get off nearby. For example, if you want to enjoy the birch forest up close, you can get off at the birch forest station in the back, where you can walk into the stretch of birch forest.

The area of Hemu Village is not large. As soon as you enter the village, you will see a row of simple residential hotels along the road. If you want to experience Hemu from day to night, living in the village is the best choice. Going forward is the township government and school of Hemuhe Township. The Hemu River flows on the plain surrounded by mountains. On the high slopes and depressions of the plain, there are wooden houses of Tuwa people scattered.

Strolling in Hemu Village, you will find that the log cabins here are so unified and special. The log cabins have become the landmark buildings of Hemu, and they still retain the true color of wood for many years. This kind of log cabin is completely made of logs. The pointed wooden house has a flat roof in the room, and the space between the flat roof and the pointed roof is used to store food and fodder. This is a unique architectural feature of the Tuva people. It can only be seen in the settlements of the Wa people.

In order to resist the severe cold during the snow-covered mountain period for nearly six months every year, the houses they live in are all made of logs. These wooden houses are made of single-layer logs with a diameter of 30 to 40 cm. They are interlocked with each other, and built up one by one to form wall panels, and then nailed with wooden boards to the herringbone canopy roof, which is both warm and moisture-proof. The half-opened pine fence in the village has turned golden yellow after a long period of time, making this small village look more warm.

The landmark building of Hemu is Hemu Bridge, which has been impacted by melting water from glaciers for more than a hundred years. It is old and solid. The cold and cold river water is as simple and pure as Hemu Village, and the vegetation all over the bank is moistened by water vapor, forming thick and rich greenery. Walking along the wooden bridge to the other side of the river, there is no village on the other side, it is a purely natural territory. It feels like crossing the river, the world here is no longer related to the real world.

The path by the river is covered with golden leaves. When a gust of wind blows, the leaves on the trees fall silently on your shoulders and feet, telling you that something has passed forever. Here, you can climb up along the plank road. After reaching the top, you can overlook the whole Hemu Village, small rivers, wooden houses, cooking smoke, and birch forests. You can see beautiful and peaceful pictures, just like a fairy tale world. Here It's also a great place to take pictures of the sunrise.

【DAY 3 There will always be a snow, waiting for you in northern Xinjiang】

The car is driving on the semi-grassland road. The so-called semi-grassland landform is the combination of Gobi and grassland. If you see huge wind power fans everywhere on both sides of the road, it means that you are very close to the colorful beach. There are many Danxia landforms in Xinjiang, but most of the Danxia landforms have no relationship with water, and Wucaitan is an exception.

The colorful ground, colorful woods, and a blue river passing through it create such a colorful scene. After tens of millions of years of wind erosion, rain stripping and river erosion, bright colors such as red, green, purple, yellow and brown appeared on the almost barren river beach. Against the backdrop of the river and the setting sun, when you walk into the undulating "hills" area, it's like walking into a colorful and dreamlike world, which is the charm of the colorful beach.

There are seven viewing platforms in Wucaitan Scenic Area, namely "Yunlong Terrace, Shoushan Terrace, Danxia Terrace, Guanri Terrace, Ziguang Terrace, and Guanhe Terrace". Not the same. There is a saying describing the colorful beach that "a river is separated from two banks, and there are two heavens",
On the south bank, there are oases, deserts and blue sky complement each other, green grass, and mountain flowers are blooming; on the north bank, "colorful beach", the stones are of different shades and shapes, and various outlines and colors are mixed and matched. This is the most beautiful Danxia in Xinjiang. topography.

[Day 4 last look, unforgettable autumn colors of Keketuohai]

The blue river bay in northern Xinjiang, Keketuohai, is a peaceful and mysterious colorful place. As soon as autumn comes, it starts to be colorful and lively. It seems that it doesn't know that it is going to enter the depressed winter. Compared with Kanas, the autumn of Keketuohai will come later, and there will be much fewer tourists here. Keketuo Sea Scenic Area, you can also make an appointment to visit the scenic spot by car. The car goes straight along the not wide road, and the depth is very long. All the way inward, there are scenery all the way.

Keketuohai, as a new global geological park, has also become famous in recent years. The tourist area consists of the Irtysh Grand Canyon and the No. 3 Mine

Saihengbulak, Kekesuli and Kara Senger are composed of five scenic spots, and the Irtysh Grand Canyon is the most representative scenic spot, so it will also be directly called Keketuohai by many people.

We chose to drive directly into the deepest part of the canyon and tour from the inside out. In the innermost part of the scenic spot is the landmark scenic spot-Shenzhong Mountain. The Altai Mountains are magnificent and stretch for thousands of miles. The Irtysh Grand Canyon straddles the borders of China, Mongolia and Russia and becomes a natural boundary between China and Mongolia, Russia and Kazakhstan. Shenzhong Mountain is a natural landmark in this canyon. Miracle.

Shenzhong Mountain is also a must-see attraction when you come to the Irtysh Grand Canyon. It is only a few minutes away from the parking lot to the viewing platform of Shenzhong Mountain. As the name suggests, this mountain looks like a bell buckled on the ground. , but if you want to see the most vivid divine clock, you can choose to climb to a viewing platform on the opposite side of Shenzhong Mountain. Nature is so magical.

Keketuohai means "green forest" in Kazakh, and people who have been here call her a dreamland. Strange, every mountain peak seems to be carved, like the Shenzhong Mountain, which makes people puzzled. The beautiful water here, the Irtysh River flows day and night, enriches all the creatures on both sides of the river, and continues its history. strange and beautiful.

The scenery of the Irtysh Canyon is like a natural oil painting, with delicate golden color as the main tone, blue mountains, brilliant water and colorful trees, which constitute this colorful original picture scroll.

Not far from the entrance of the scenic spot, the birch forest scenic spot, which has become a golden ocean, has become a place where tourists gather to check in. Known as the "tree of pure love", the birch tree is graceful and graceful, and its straight branches seem to reach into the sky. Looking up, the leaves in early autumn are golden, shining in the sun, dancing like butterflies in the breeze, and whispering to each other.

If someone asks what is the color of northern Xinjiang in autumn, then I will definitely answer: "It is the color of birch forest". Late autumn is the most charming day for Bai Hua. In just a few days, its leaves turned from green to yellow and red, and hung on the branches of the years like red gold, like banners and banners. The breeze blows gently and makes noises, as if whispering to you. The red-gold-like leaves, coupled with the white and shiny trunk, the golden and bright picture is like walking into an autumn fairy tale world.

There are too many stories about this pit, and there are many things that are worth remembering forever. This place was once listed as a highly classified area by the country, so that there was no name here. Because it was this pit that repaid 47% of the debt of the former Soviet Union for the country in the 1960s; it was this pit that made immortal contributions to the explosion of my country's first atomic bomb and hydrogen bomb. Today's mine is no longer Mining, it has already completed its mission, and it has gradually become known to the Chinese people.

When the drone flies into the sky, I can really feel the great shock brought to me by this mine. If you want to see this huge mine up close, you can choose to take the traffic car in the scenic spot to enter the bottom of the mine, or you can enter Tour of the mining area before the pit.

The trip to northern Xinjiang in the late autumn of September has come to an end. I look forward to seeing you again next time, Xinjiang. There will be a period later. I look forward to seeing you next time. What kind of beautiful face will you have?
