afternoon of the sixth day
In the afternoon, I went back to Burqin County, and went to the colorful beach by the way, which is the favorite photo-taking place for these young literary girls.
Remember, when you return to Burqin County from Kanas, you must pass this red and yellow house, which is a landmark building from the Altai Mountains to the Burqin Plain.
The houses on the side of the road looked new, but the windows and doors were open and empty, as if no one lived there. I don't know what happened. The strange thing is that there is another car parked behind. Maybe some kind of farmhouse resort, there is no business.
The colorful houses below seem to be resorts or something. These houses in Xinjiang like to make them so colorful, which seems to be the beauty habit of the Uighurs.
Then passed this unknown small lake
Then we soon arrived at the colorful beach, which is only 20 kilometers away from Burqin.
After entering the door, there is a vulgar observation building facing you. These tourists look so casual, maybe they are locals from Burqin who came here for a weekend trip
It's just some colorful stones, oh no, mud
There are a lot of people down there, so I'm not interested in going on.
But now that you're here, let's walk around
It's just some mud, I don't know what to look at
This is the Irtysh River, which is said to be the only river in China that flows into the Arctic Ocean.
Although these colorful muds are interesting, they still look a little monotonous
There's a suspension bridge over the river over there
This piece of mud looks a bit gorgeous
This suspension bridge was originally used by local villagers, and some people passed by on bicycles. Tourists spend thousands of miles to see this colorful beach, but perhaps in the eyes of the local villagers, it is just a pile of mud by the river. You see them passing by the bridge, and they don’t even bother to take a look.
Why do you like to boast that you are "No. 1 in the world" no matter where you are?
There is also a lighthouse over there, so I walked over to take a look, and it turned out to be a scenery display.
This place is very small, and I finished shopping in an hour, so I left. There is also a large sunflower field outside. There are many sunflower fields in Xinjiang. It may be due to the strong sunshine, which is very suitable for growing this kind of crop.
Then go back to Burqin County for accommodation, and go to Bole the next day
In the early morning of the next day, I had to go from Burqin County to Bole City, where Sailimu Lake is located, 800 kilometers away. Excluding the one or two hours of getting off the bus to play and eat on the way, the journey took a full ten Hour!
If so many cows belong to one family, it is really a lot of money.
Along the way, there is also this kind of Yardang landform like the devil city
Then when passing through a so-called "populus euphratica forest landscape" halfway, the people in the same car decided to go and see it, but they didn't expect that this was the most pitiful scenic spot in the whole trip to Xinjiang! In fact, it is just an inconspicuous grove, but it charges 120 yuan! Moreover, these Populus euphratica trees are all wild, but the locals dare to circle them privately and collect money to visit! After reading it, I found out that these small broken forests are worth up to 12 yuan tickets!
But I can’t blame others, neither forced me nor induced me, it’s my own lack of willpower, originally I intuitively felt “what’s so good about a broken forest?”, and it’s not Jin Qiushi The moon is not a big forest like Mongolia, and it is certainly not as golden and splendid as in the photo, but I saw that everyone in the same car was going, and I felt that it was boring to stay outside alone, so I followed the crowd and followed in. , the result was disappointing
But since we are here, let’s see as much as possible and take more pictures
This is the so-called Populus euphratica, which is said to be the only tree that can grow in the Gobi desert, and it will not die even if it dies.
These are said to be dead Populus euphratica
At first, I was surprised that this big Populus euphratica was so big, but later I found out that it was a fake tree made of cement!
Then continue to walk in, there is a large living Populus euphratica forest
Populus euphratica is said to be very strange that there can be several different types of leaves growing on one tree. Do you think it is a bit like that?
This is the dry and hollow heart of Populus euphratica. It is said that even if the heart of Populus euphratica is hollow, it will not die.
However, the tour guide of the Populus euphratica forest is still very dedicated. He is a disabled young man with incomplete arms. He explains all kinds of things very conscientiously, and the plant knowledge is also very rich. Even a grass on the ground is also explained in detail. Only this is barely conscientious
It’s just such broken forests. Let’s see for yourself. In fact, these Populus euphratica trees can be seen along the way. It’s not worth spending 120 yuan to see them.
Various dead woods
After I came out, I realized that it was good for me to stay under the big tree at the door and chat with these locals from the very beginning.
I finished the walk in less than an hour, and then left to continue to Sailimu Lake.
Along the way are all kinds of rivers and Gobi deserts in the Western Regions
Passing through a town whose name I don't know, these houses look dilapidated, and they seem to be empty at all. Strange to say, many places along the way are empty and deserted. Could it be that the business is in a downturn?
How about calling it the Wild West?
It seems that the industry is quite prosperous, but these buildings look like no one is empty
However, these ugly ghost buildings are much better than the dilapidated houses I lived in in the countryside of Southwest China when I was young. The vicissitudes of life have been wasted, and I can understand the bitterness of Xinjiang people living in these desolate deserts. Life
Then along the way, I started to see these cloudy mountains and foggy scenes, maybe it was the Tianshan Mountains.
Tianshan vast sea of clouds
Great America Xinjiang
Then I finally arrived at Bole City at 8 o'clock. This should be a prefecture-level city, but it is clean and tidy, but the streets are deserted and there are few people. There is no way, Xinjiang is so sparsely populated.
morning of the eighth day
Then go to Sailimu Lake the next morning, which is still 90 kilometers away. Next
