After the pleasant journey in Kanas and Hemu in northern Xinjiang, we returned to Urumqi and stayed at the Bestay Express Hotel near Hongshan Park in the city center. Take a rest overnight, and then go to Turpan, which is not far from Urumqi, on the 29th.

　　After a few days of tossing, Ruan was really tired, and the alarm clock on his mobile phone rang for a long time, but he didn't hear it; Lao Jiang was so sleepy that he fell asleep and even forgot to set the alarm clock. His cousin saw that we hadn't arrived at the agreed place at the appointed time, so he called to inquire.

　　Rubbing sleepy eyes and opening the curtains, it was already bright outside. Don't say anything, take a taxi and set off immediately, please wait a moment...

　　Starting from Urumqi, go to Turpan via the National Expressway G30 Lianhuo Expressway and the National Highway G312 High-grade Highway, the whole journey is only 200 kilometers. In the salt lake service area before passing the Tianshan Pass, we stopped for a short rest.

　　The Chaiwopu Basin, where the salt lake is located, separates the Yilian Habirga Mountain in the middle of the Tianshan Mountains and the Bogda Mountain in the east; a winding valley in the middle is the well-known Daban City. Expressways, national highways, the Lanzhou-Xinjiang Railway and the newly-built Lanzhou-Xinjiang Passenger Dedicated Line are all crowded in this valley. In this midsummer season, there are few trees in front of the dirt hill. The electrification project of the Lanzhou-Xinjiang Railway has just started, and there is no shadow of the catenary support on the pole.

　　Behind it, where there is a slope protection on the side of the mountain, is the Lanxin Railway Station under construction.

　　The convenient transportation store in the service area wished drivers and friends a safe journey with Dabancheng soybeans and salt lake refined salt. The restaurant next to the store offers specialties such as noodles and big plate chicken.

　　Turpan, where we are going today, is very hot, which is in great contrast to the low temperature encountered in Kanas two days ago, so Ruan changed into a cool attire. The wind in Dabancheng is fierce, although it is not like the wind of Huang Fengguai, which must be resisted by Lingji Bodhisattva's wind-fixing pill, but it is still strong enough to blow petite people down. Even if the sun is shining brightly above the head, the wind blowing on the body is really cold.

　　I don't know how the cigarette in the old man's hand was lit?

　　The power of the wind is probably only unexpected, nothing impossible. Flying sand is a must, walking rocks is possible, if the train is blown over - it will be broadcast on the news network.

　　Such a powerful wind energy resource is useless if it is not used; therefore, the largest wind farm in the inland of China has also become a tourist attraction that travel agencies can use to fool tourists.

　　Ruan has done some research on wind power generation. It is said that when the blades of the larger windmills rotate, they will strongly disturb the airflow. Therefore, the choice of the mutual position of the windmills is still a matter of knowledge. However, it would be pedantic to consider the disturbance of the air flow when we got here. It is serious to ensure that the windmill will not be blown down.

　　So rows of windmills are neatly arranged like terracotta warriors, which saves a lot of trouble.

　　At the foot of Tianshan Mountain, Turpan Jiaohe Airport rises from the ground. The straight-line distance between here and Urumqi Diwopu Airport is about 180 kilometers, but there are still seasonal charter flights.

　　Taking off and climbing, then circling and descending after crossing the Tianshan Mountains, this is a bit like a hump route.

　　Turpan Airport is very close to Urumqi, and the weather is sunny and cloudless most of the time, so it is positioned as the main and backup airport of Urumqi Airport. The new airport has been open to traffic for one year, and the number of alternate flights from Urumqi has exceeded half of the guaranteed number of flights. In order to meet the needs of alternate landings, this airport on the verge of bankruptcy, with an average of one plane coming every three days, is actually quite small.

　　The name of the airport can be marked in such a rough font, probably only the Turpan Airport standing on the artificial platform can do it.

　　Lao Jiang's cousin has lived in Xinjiang for many years and needs to come to Turpan frequently due to work, so he knows it quite well. He also has a relative's business in Turpan, so he called a little brother to come out and show us around, as if it were to accompany customers.

　　It is an advantage to come out with friends, buy cars, eat and buy tickets, and use the favor of friends as money. But there are always pros and cons in everything. Ruan wanted to ask where the famous Jiaohe Old City was, and my cousin said: It’s not interesting there—don’t go there!

　　The first stop of sightseeing in Turpan is the national key cultural relics protection unit, Astanahala and Zhuo Ancient Tombs. Although we didn't see other tourists except us under the scorching sun, it's still worth seeing here.

　　The ancient tombs of Astana are located about 40 kilometers southeast of the urban area of ​​Turpan. Due to the dry and hot local natural environment, the paper documents, silk and wool fabrics, clay sculptures and wood carvings, and even food unearthed from ancient tombs are all well preserved, so it is called "underground museum".

　　Astana is a transliteration of Uighur, meaning "capital".

　　It turns out that Uyghur and Kazakh still have some similarities. The new political capital of Kazakhstan in the mainland is called Astana; in order to enhance the influence of this emerging capital, the former Air Kazakhstan was also renamed Astana Airlines.

　　Although it is a cemetery in the Jin and Tang Dynasties, the buildings in the front yard of the ancient tomb park vaguely have the style of the Han Dynasty. In the early years of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Qian was sent as an envoy to the Western Regions, and since then opened the road from the Central Plains to Xinjiang and even Central Asia; this road was later used to export silk produced in China, also known as the "Silk Road".

　　Turpan was once an important stop on the Silk Road.

　　The tombs in this area are relatively concentrated, and most of them have been excavated; currently, only those with stone tablets standing in front of the gate are open for viewing.

　　The structure of the tomb is similar to that of the Han tombs that Ruan had seen in his hometown. Walking straight down the ramp is the tomb chamber, and there are several cramped ear chambers on both sides to store sundries. The size of the tomb chamber has a lot to do with the number of ear chambers and the identity and status of the owner.

　　My cousin kindly spent 40 yuan to hire a guide. This Uyghur uncle accompanied us into the cemetery, then sat down in the gazebo and asked us to see it ourselves. The stone tablet beside the tomb door is engraved with a brief introduction in Chinese and English, which is easier to understand than listening to his half-baked Chinese explanation. The uncle is well versed in the principle of cherishing words like gold, and he only bought two sentences for 40 yuan; one sentence "No photos are allowed inside, and the fine for taking pictures is 3,000 yuan", and one sentence "There is another one inside, the mummy is in that tomb".

　　Speaking, why is there a last sentence?

　　It turns out that at the end of the trail in the distance is the ancient tomb with the mummy. Lao Jiang just wanted to see the legendary mummy, but the two holes in front were almost empty, so he planned to go back to the car to cool off. The uncle hired at the critical moment played a decisive role, otherwise Lao Jiang's visit would have been in vain.

　　The darkness in the tomb is in sharp contrast to the broad daylight outside. After entering, you have to let your eyes adapt for half a minute before you can barely distinguish the surrounding environment. There is actually a camera installed in the tomb, and someone who fell into Qian's eye is sitting in the monitoring room, waiting for you to raise the camera and press the shutter.

　　The red banners falling on the wall indicated that the 20th China Silk Road Turpan Grape Festival had just concluded not long ago.

　　Outside the walls of the cemetery are low and dense vines, and in the center of the field there is a very distinctive drying room for drying raisins. Turpan has plenty of sunshine and very little rainfall, so it is very suitable for the growth of grapes, and almost every household in the countryside has planted them. When it’s harvest time, a small amount of fresh grapes are sold for some pocket money; the rest are hung on racks in the drying room. The grapes gradually lose their moisture under the combined action of heat and wind, shrinking into raisins with extremely high sugar content.

　　If you want to grow something else in Turpan, it may not be easy.

　　Where did the cultural relics unearthed from the ancient tombs of Astana go?

　　The answer lies in Urumqi, 400 miles west of Turpan, where the Museum of the Autonomous Region is filled with all kinds of cultural relics unearthed in Astana. There are mummies on display in the free and open museum, and you can take pictures casually under the premise of turning off the flash.

　　The fine of several thousand yuan here is really cheating.

　　The most famous unearthed cultural relic in the ancient tombs of Astana is a silk painting called "Fuxi Nuwa Picture". Fuxi is on the left, holding a ruler in his left hand; Since the painting has been collected by the museum, erecting a statue here is a memory for everyone.

　　Get out of the ancient tomb and drive back to the urban area, passing the famous Huoyanshan scenic spot, which is on the north side of the national highway G312.

　　Huoyan Mountain is a large stretch of bare and grass-free mountains, whose height is far lower than the majestic Tianshan Mountain behind it. The highest peak of the mountain is only more than 800 meters above sea level, and some areas at the foot of the mountain are even lower than sea level; in this way, it is only half of Huashan.

　　Hotness is the most well-known feature of Huoyan Mountain. In summer, the surface temperature may exceed 70 degrees Celsius. Due to the tumbling and rising hot air, looking at the ocher red mountain from a distance, the heat wave is rolling like a fire.

　　It is said that in the hottest season, the Flaming Mountain Scenic Area will also provide entertainment items for tourists to participate in, called "sand boiled eggs"; bury raw eggs in the sand and cook them in a few minutes. If it's not hot enough, bury the pre-boiled eggs in the sand and take them out after a while - cooked too!

　　The reason why Huoyan Mountain has become a famous scenic spot is thanks to Mr. Wu Chengen. Mr. Wu is a native of Huai'an, Jiangsu Province, and he probably never visited the Western Regions in his life. The Flame Mountain he invented based on legends is still located on the road leading to the Western Heaven.

　　Since "Journey to the West" is a novel that people like to hear and read, it is also necessary to take the opportunity to promote yourself through the stories in "Journey to the West" in the underground exhibition area of ​​the Flaming Mountain Scenic Area. The main story bridges of Tang Sanzang's master and apprentice learning scriptures from the West are depicted on the wall, and only this one can be related to the Flame Mountain.

　　Sun Xingzhe's sharp-billed monkey-cheeked face is quite popular with the audience, and it has already been touched black and bright. The reason, perhaps, is because touching the monkey's face - can be contaminated with some fairy spirit?

　　Also as the signature scenic spot of Turpan, Flame Mountain and Grape Valley should be regarded as brother units, so there is an introduction about Grape Valley in this exhibition area.

　　If it weren't for such ramblings, Huoyanshan would have nothing to see at all, and the introduction of the so-called Grape Valley cannot escape the suspicion of shaming. Huoyan Mountain stretches for two hundred miles from Turpan to Shanshan, and it can be seen clearly from the road; if it is not for the coolness, there is no need to come in.

　　There are 300 hectares of fields in the authentic grape ditch, which can produce 400 to 500 tons of raisins every year, which is basically a rare commodity. It can be seen that the raisins sold in supermarkets or bazaars have never met the famous Grape Valley in Turpan.

　　The experience flight of this powered delta-wing glider has a clearly marked price, which is easy to deceive. According to Ruan's understanding, it is almost two yuan for every meter of flight. Converted according to the same standard, Ruan already owed Chahang several million.

　　The advertising words of Blue Sky Sports Club are poetic and picturesque, and they are boastful. In order to highlight the difference between a glider and a passenger plane, its feelings are also written to be the same as China Southern Airlines’ A380 aircraft, which is quite different.

　　Sitting in the cockpit of an airliner can never experience the feeling of being integrated with the sky, but can you experience it while sitting in this flying tractor?

　　The so-called Flaming Mountain Scenic Area is located on the side of the national highway, and there is still a long way to the red mountain in the north. There is almost no difference between looking at the Huoyan Mountain from here or looking at the Huoyan Mountain from the side of the road.

　　Tourists come to the scenic spot just to add the "Flame Mountain Scenic Area" to their colorful travel life. If you are not willing to spend the 40 yuan, it seems that you are the same as ordinary passer-by, and you can’t count as having seen the Flame Mountain.

　　When Ruan went to Dali, he once saw the famous Three Pagodas of Chongsheng Temple on the partition wall of the parking lot by the road outside the gate, and then turned around and left. Buy a ticket for 120 yuan to enter the gate, can you still enjoy the juggling performed by monkeys carrying elephants on their backs?

　　This is the heroine Rakshasa in "Three Borrowing of the Banana Fan". It is said that she married Monkey King's early sworn brother, the Bull Demon King, and gave birth to a red child.

　　This family planning model lives thousands of miles away in Bajiao Cave, Cuiyun Mountain, which is praised by Sun Wukong as "a thousand-year-old historical site and a ten-thousand-year fairy trail", which is quite fairy-like. The Bull Demon King once said that his mountain wife was a fairy who practiced cultivation since she was a child; the cake seller and cake buyer in Huoyan Mountain even described Yi's residence as a fairy mountain.

　　It turned out that although Rakshasa married a monster, she herself was a god who became a human being. Judging by Yi's attire, she looks like a maid in the Tang court.

　　Before his debut, Anhong's boy practiced in the Flame Mountain for 300 years, and refined the real fire of samadhi; the age of the Raksha girl when he robbed the banana fan with his grandson was always 340 to 50 years old. Even if the years are not forgiving, Yi's appearance is really handsome!

　　Few tourists were seen on the ground under the scorching sun, and the two ladies took pictures of each other and had a great time. The young man drove his beloved camel to rest in the shade, leaving the ladder standing alone on the sandy ground.

　　Take pictures from this angle, go back and tell others that you have been to the Flame Mountain, I guess most people will not believe it. The more than one billion people of the Celestial Dynasty have ruined many places inside and outside the Great Wall and up and down the river into this appearance. If you walk around the imperial capital for three days, you can definitely find similar scenery.

　　A giant thermometer juts out from a central patio in the sunken display area, registering a temperature of almost 58 degrees Celsius. This is obviously the surface temperature. The humidity in the air around Huoyan Mountain is extremely low, and the temperature at this time is only about 35 degrees.

　　It is said that this thermometer, which created the Guinness World Record, has a record of more than 80 degrees, and it has missed the hottest season at the moment; because the sweat evaporates quickly, the heat of the Flame Mountain is not unbearable.

　　In this weather, if you want to cook eggs in the sand, I'm afraid you have to add a little trick. The water in the pot has not boiled yet, please wait a while.

　　Sun Xingzhe is stepping on colorful auspicious clouds, holding a whistle stick in his right hand, and looking west with a canopy in his left hand. Where did the director of the neighborhood committee in charge of Huoyanshan Street hide?

　　Four of the Tang monks, masters and apprentices represented by this group of sculptures are too hot to bear, and only the monkey is still working tirelessly to find a way out. Tang Sanzang hit Jishou with one hand, and recited the "Maha Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra" silently over and over again; Zhu Bajie opened his chest and opened his mouth wide to breathe; Monk Sha shook his head and sighed, and Bailongma was also dying from the heat.

　　Sun Xingzhe was originally a son of the Lian family, and he lived in the furnace where the Taishang Laojun made alchemy for several weeks. This temperature was nothing to him. But he couldn't resist the fire set by the red boy, which is really strange.

　　After strolling outside for more than ten minutes, I went back to the underground display area. Here—after all, it is cooler.

　　The ceiling of the story gallery of Journey to the West is painted into the popular sky interior, creating an atmosphere like the Venetian Hotel. There are smoke sensors and fire nozzles installed on the roof, which is a bit too dense.

　　Water is a precious resource in Turpan, so it's better to use it sparingly.

　　The Master Sanzang was severely frightened, and his eyes were as big as copper bells. But what was in front of him was neither the yellow wind monster nor the yellow robe monster, neither the golden horned king nor the yellow browed old Buddha, nor was it the charming king of Xiliang women's country who was taking off his clothes.

　　The starting point of this story is in Wuzhuang Temple of Longevity Mountain. In Tang Sanzang's previous life, a friend named Zhenyuan Daxian planted some evil fruits.

　　It is said that after he learned the truth, he finally ate a ginseng fruit that prolongs his life, claiming that he can live for 47,000 years. Since then, on the way to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures, he has received meticulous care from Zhenyuan Daxian who has always paid attention to brand influence and after-sales service.

　　If Tang Sanzang was steamed and eaten by monsters within a few years after eating the ginseng fruit, it would inevitably smash the golden signboard of Zhen Yuanzi, the ancestor of the earth immortal.

　　Turpan, which means "the lowest place" in Uighur, is lower than the sea level in the distance. Due to the deposition and accumulation of hot air under the basin, this place is dry and hot, and it has always been called "Fire Island".

　　Due to the climate, local dwellings are generally made of thick and insulated adobe, and are usually partially buried in the ground. Living in a cellar in other places will feel cold and damp, but the cellar in Turpan is cool and pleasant.

　　The entrance of the Flaming Mountain Scenic Area is a sunken courtyard, and the ancillary buildings next to it vaguely show the appearance of cave dwellings.

　　After eating authentic Uighur pilaf in a restaurant in the city, the next stop is Grape Valley. One of the sightseeing items in the ditch is called fruit tasting, which is probably to taste fresh fruits in the yard of a certain house on the roadside.

　　This is a bit similar to the home visit in Kanas.

　　At the entrance of each scenic spot in Turpan, there are signs indicating the ticket prices of each scenic spot, which is relatively realistic. Grape Valley is the most expensive scenic spot.

　　Lao Jiang’s cousin’s relatives were acquainted with a Uyghur family here, so we sat down on the kang and waited for the food to be served. The service of fruit tasting is very formal. The owner puts hats on the kang table, and the biggest one among them is green.

　　It is the season of fruit harvest in Xinjiang, and all kinds of fruits are so sweet that they are greasy. Although Turpan is famous for its grapes, we only got fresh watermelon and cantaloupe.

　　The grapes produced in the authentic grape ditch sell for tens of yuan a catty, which is a loss of money when placed here; sitting on the kang table with rich ethnic customs and eating a few pieces of watermelon is also a good enjoyment!

　　Since everyone is so familiar, I feel sorry for charging money for a few pieces of watermelon, so let's ask our family's Gulandam and Ayigul to dance for everyone. Uyghur women are probably born with twisted necks?

　　(Respect portrait rights, please do not reprint)

　　After the fruit tasting, the car continued to advance into the ditch. On the opposite mountain was the "Grape Ditch" inscribed by Comrade Peng Zhen. The so-called Grape Valley is the winding valley where grapes are planted along the stream at the foot of the earth mountain.

　　It is said that the grapes produced here are very sweet, but they are not easy to eat. Hairy crabs in Yangcheng Lake are easy to find. If you catch crabs anywhere, you can refill them by taking a bath in Yangcheng Lake. The grapes in the grape valley are relatively troublesome. You can't cut a vine from other places and come here to pretend to be a licensed product.

　　When I returned to Urumqi, I bought a box of grapes on the side of the road. It is said that they were also produced in Turpan, but they only sold for 3 yuan a catty. From the price point of view, this is naturally not a product of Grape Valley; it tastes like chewing raisins.

　　Some people say that there are white sugar crystals on the skin of raisins. If they are washed and eaten again, some nutrients will be lost. But eating raisins, don't you really need to wash them?

　　If you believe this, I am afraid that you will be wrong for years!

　　When the air-drying room is not enough, simply put the grapes on the roof to bask in the sun, even if it is mosquito bites or dusty. The grapes spread randomly on the roof of this family are almost ready for sale.

　　Of course, fruit tasting is not enough to eat, so there are restaurants of all sizes lined up on both sides of the road. The brothers standing outside looking for customers only hated that they were not strong enough, otherwise they might try to drag Little Fit into their house.

　　You are going to be slaughtered left and right, why do you want to take advantage of others?

　　There are many Western restaurants in Xinjiang that specialize in serving pilaf and strips. They all have a common name, Yake. The number of the western restaurant in Grape Valley is quite strange. If you look for it according to the house number, you will probably get lost.

　　Originating from the melting snow of Bogda Peak in the Tianshan Mountains, the Buyiluk River flows through the bottom of the Grape Valley. The river water has created this famous grape kingdom. Grape racks are all over the banks of the stream, and the vines are lush and lush.

　　Xinjiang, known as the hometown of melons and fruits, has four most famous fruits. Turpan's grapes surpass Hami melons, Korla pears and Yecheng pomegranates, ranking first.

　　There is a pool of stagnant water beside the stream, which is really an eye-opener for Ruan; it turns out that this pool is calm, and it can also be called a hundred-year-old spring?

　　We crossed most of Grape Valley from the road at the bottom of the ditch, and felt the rare coolness in Huozhou by the way, but we encountered a traffic jam. The parking lot of a restaurant called Waterfall Villa on the side of the road was full, and several people who were rushing to eat parked their cars on the side of the road. The originally narrow road was transformed into a one-way street.

　　The so-called good wine is not afraid of deep alleys. It seems that this restaurant has a good reputation.

　　The Uighur guy from the restaurant came out to help guide the traffic. If his eyes had been opened wider, he would have been resembling Mr. Beans.

　　There was a police car driving behind us all the time. When encountering a traffic jam, Ruan still hoped that they would come down to help; but when they saw this posture, they said nothing—turned around and left first!

　　(Respect portrait rights, please do not reprint)

　　Turpan's most famous specialty is grapes, and another well-known feature is Karez. Next, let's take a look at the Karez Museum.

　　This museum, or Karez Folk Custom Garden, is located in the west of Turpan City. Originally, it was just a culvert connecting the Karez well. After renovation and adding some sculptures introducing the construction process of Karez well, it has the right to be used as a museum. Comrades, who are poor and ambitious, insisted on raising this abandoned culvert to the level of a museum, and charged 20 yuan for the entrance fee.

　　The government stipulates that museums should be open for free. What are you kidding?

　　Karez is known as one of the three great projects in ancient China, the other two are the Great Wall and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

　　This cowhide is bigger than this museum. Although Karez is very practical, due to its prominent regional characteristics and lack of universality, its reputation is still much lower than that of the Great Wall and the Grand Canal. Ruan felt that it would be more appropriate to count it as one of the three great water conservancy projects in ancient China along with the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and Dujiangyan.

　　If we add the Hongqi Canal in Linxian County, Henan Province, which is known as the "artificial Tianhe", it can be said that there are four great water conservancy projects in China that span the past and present, and it is probably the past.

　　In layman's terms, Karez is actually a canal dug underground. The snow water brought down from the Tianshan Mountains flows in the culvert, which can effectively reduce water loss; there will be a shaft at a certain distance, and water will be raised from the shaft to irrigate the farmland.

　　Putting water channels underground to reduce evaporation is the most important foundation of karez.

　　Considering the ingenuity of the current Chinese people who can even come up with "Kangshuaibo", "Oliyue" and "Nutrition Formula Line", this idea may not seem unusual today; but more than a thousand years ago , can still sell for a good price.

　　The Gobi Desert under the Flame Mountain has neither residents nor farmland, so how come there are shafts?

　　This is a temporary tool for digging Karez. Otherwise, do you think the culverts under the ground were created by directional blasting?

　　The section hidden in the museum is called Ayskar Haji Karez, which was excavated by Uyghur Ayskar Haji during the Qing Dynasty. The total length of Aji Karez well is more than 10 kilometers. After hundreds of years of joint and unremitting efforts of several generations, it finally formed its current scale.

　　Emperor Daoguang sent Lin Zexu, governor of Huguang, as an imperial envoy to Guangdong to ban opium; Lin sold cigarettes in Humen, and Britain used this as an excuse to start the first Opium War. Emperor Daoguang dismissed Lin Zechu and demoted him to Xinjiang on the grounds of Guangdong's defeat. After Lin took office in Xinjiang, he led the army and the people to build water conservancy projects and open up farmland, which played a very good role in leading and exemplary.

　　Because of this, some people mistakenly said that Karez was invented by Lin Gong, and the locals may call Karez "Lin Gong Well", and Ruan was almost fooled.

　　Want to do it yourself and dig a Karez by yourself? I'm afraid you still need some of the spirit of Yugong Yishan.

　　Thanks to the fact that the soil structure here is basically sandy soil, even gravel is rare, so the difficulty of excavation is much smaller than that of the modern Hongqi Canal. When it comes to unfavorable factors, it is probably easier to landslide; if there are more landslides, maybe someone will make a movie to tell the story of this lively old well.

　　The slogan of the Karez Museum was resounding, but it could not conceal the anxiety deep in my heart, so the museum made some messy things to expand its strength.

　　This thing known as the first pit in Huozhou was blown out.

　　Nang is a staple food that the Uyghurs often eat. Devout believers of Allah have a special liking for it, even to the point of dependence. The unique facility for baking naan is called naan pit. Huozhou No. 1 Pit can be understood as the largest and best naan pit in Turpan, and it can also be understood as the most cheating place in Turpan.

　　Ruan Zeng mistook the last word for Kang, and wondered inwardly, how could people from Huozhou sleep on such a strangely shaped Kang?

　　It is said that Italian traveler Marco Polo (Marco Polo) once came to China and visited many places in China. When he passed by Xinjiang, he was full of praise for the flavor of the naan and its suitability for travel, so he learned the skill of baking naan. After continuous improvement and innovation by him and his descendants, a fast food destined to be popular all over the world was born hundreds of years later.

　　Standing in line at the door of Pizza Hut today, have you ever understood its origin?

　　On this simple stage with strong ethnic characteristics, a Uyghur girl braiding competition has just been held. It would be interesting to see it if you get a chance.

　　Uighur women have always liked to wear braids, especially young girls.

　　There are several different but similar explanations for the custom of braiding. Some people say that braids are related to age, and one more braid will be combed every year, but this statement does not seem to be conclusive. It is certain that Uighur girls will replace the numerous small braids with two long braids on the second day after they get married.

　　There are as many as a dozen or dozens of braids, and combing them is a difficult project. It is also a happy group activity for a few good girls to get together to braid their hair.

　　Towards the evening, the few tourists in the museum left one after another, and the staff who were busy sitting and chatting under the grape arbor.

　　In the hot summer, sitting on a wooden bed under the grape arbor, blowing the cool breeze, and secretly drinking a bottle of cold beer while God is not paying attention, Uighurs still enjoy life very much. There is no environment suitable for mosquito larvae to live here, so there are not many mosquitoes; sitting under the tree does not have to worry about the cold silkworms falling on the top of the head, and it is really comfortable.

　　It would be even more wonderful if a few bunches of grapes fell from the top of the head from time to time!

　　After shopping all day, it's time to go back. The pilaf eaten in Turpan at noon is very authentic. On the way back, I turned to Chaiwopu to try the authentic big plate chicken.

　　The famous wind area along the way is called Xiaocao Lake, and the windmills all over the mountains are running happily, and the wind is exaggerated. If you only open the door or window on the windward side to catch the wind, the whole car will be blown over when the wind comes up. The faster the car goes, the less grip it has, so there are strict speed limits on windy roads.

　　Lao Jiang said he didn't believe in evil, but his cousin smiled and said nothing; as for whether you believe it or not, Ruan believed it anyway.

　　Well, a van fell into a ditch on the side of the road, and it didn't rear-end or crash, and it didn't even hit the brakes. So what do you think, what's going on?

　　Turning from Dabancheng to the north, the G30 Lianhuo Expressway and the National Highway G312 pass through the mountain pass along the Urumqi River, and two oil tankers are working hard to climb the slope. Taking the national highway can not only save high-speed tolls, but also makes it easier to walk on the national highway because there are fewer cars.

　　In the rocky river, the grass and shrubs are already showing autumn colors. If you take advantage of the weekend to drag your family out to set up a tent for barbecue, this is the right place to come here.

　　The Lanzhou-Xinjiang railway double-track project has not yet been completed, and the high-standard and strict Lanzhou-Xinjiang Passenger Dedicated is already under construction. In recent years, railway construction has entered the period of the Great Leap Forward. Although it has been braked urgently, there are still sequelae - after all, there are still some.

　　Traffic dispatching should be more responsible, and the signaling system of existing lines should be transformed to be more practical and reliable. There is actually a lot of room for capacity improvement. The starting point of building an additional passenger dedicated line mainly based on bridges and tunnels seems to be too high, and the return on investment is worth worrying about.

　　Ruan's saliva drools when he sees that he can eat the authentic Chaiwobao big plate chicken.

　　The sky was getting dark, and the train pulled by Dongfeng 4B Watermelon was running towards Urumqi. The uneven carriages showed that the types of goods were complex.

　　During this trip to Xinjiang, Ruan was dizzy from the plane, vomited from the car, and had weak calves when he walked, but he did not try to take the train to travel the desolate mountains of the remote Western Regions.

　　This is a small regret.

　　The construction of the second line of Tukuku Railway in Southern Xinjiang started a few years ago, and it is now under intensive construction. When Ruan finally had the opportunity to experience it, the beautiful exhibition line across the Tianshan Mountains in the past was probably replaced by a dark tunnel!
