Xinjiang cross-country self-driving route recommendation--Hami sea road
I have never had the experience of crossing no man's land, and finally decided to take a trip under the influence of my friends! But this trip made me realize the endless beauty left by the Silk Road ~ I have the sequelae of crossing the sea lane when I come back - I have returned to my mind and am still taking risks!
The sea road is especially suitable for places to cross between May and July. All kinds of giant Yadans like skyscrapers look very enjoyable. Camel herds and many rare geographical features!
Before departure, our team leader gave us a lot of knowledge and told us some avoidable incidents. He has ten years of experience in crossing no-man's land and the team leader's resilience and driving skills in the process 666, as well as his wonderful stories. You You have to drink and listen hahaha~
️Through the no-man's land, I very much hope that everyone will not be greedy for cheap, find some non-professional team leaders, and don't joke about your own life! ! !
The most attractive part of the sea road that has preserved its original appearance is not the original desert style, but the spectacular Yardang landform, which is more than 100 kilometers long from east to west and more than 10 kilometers wide from north to south.
"Yadan" means "a small hill with steep walls" in Uighur. The unique feature of the Yadan landform in Haidao is that it is connected and continuous; the Yadan landform here does not stand alone, they are connected in pieces, Together, they form a city wall that has stood for thousands of years. Other Yadans will make you feel the uncanny workmanship of nature, but here will make you feel the majesty of nature and the insignificance of oneself.
Haidao is in an uninhabited area, with good air quality and no light pollution. It is an excellent place to shoot sunsets and sunrises. The starry sky is bright at night. It is also a recommended cross-country self-driving route in Xinjiang for shooting stars and the Milky Way--Hami Haidao
transportation
1. Depart from Hami and drive 130 kilometers along the Lianhuo Expressway to Turpan, then leave the expressway and drive to the left for more than 40 kilometers, and you will arrive at Yadanqun on Haidao Road
2. Drive 280 kilometers from Turpan to Hami, and drive more than 30 kilometers to the Gobi Desert at the exit of Liadun
3. Hami Wubao Township enters along the direction of Devil City
4. Go along the dry river in the direction of Shaer Lake
️Tips
1. The sea road is in poor condition, it is a gravel road, and you must drive a four-wheel drive off-road vehicle to enter (must be off-road tires)
2. Multiple vehicles are required, and drivers must have driving experience on Gobi roads.
3. The sea channel signal is poor, you need to carry a radio station and satellite phone, and you must be able to use Gaode and Aowei maps. (AutoNavi can navigate to the Haidao Scenic Area, and the Aowei map navigation route is required in the scenic area.)
️Precautions
1. You need to wear windproof and warm clothes, sports shoes, gloves, sunglasses, sun hat, sunscreen, and take measures to keep warm and moisturize
2. You need to bring your own drinking water and food for the itinerary
3. Carry basic medicines, such as cold medicine, anti-inflammatory medicine, gastrointestinal medicine, etc.
4. Travel in groups, do not leave the group alone
5. There must be tour guides and drivers who are familiar with the sea road conditions and routes in the travel team
6. Travel strategies and preparations should be made before travel
The above is what our team leader said to us. I roughly sorted it out~ I hope everyone must pay attention to safety when traveling~
Follow me~ In the next issue, I will tell you about the ideal places to cross the sea channel
