Knowing that there will be no classes for the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, I urgently searched for useful information in the dating group. There happened to be someone who was going to Xinjiang. I sent a message to inquire, and hit it off. I booked the ticket immediately, packed my luggage, and the train left in two days.

The four-person group AA board and lodging tickets, refueling and crossing fees are 3350, and the average car rental fee is nearly 1100 per person, plus their own travel expenses. I went by train 587, returned by plane 565, plus a taxi and a hotel stay in Urumqi for the first night, and a little self-expenses, totaling 6,000 yuan. (It’s all because one of the friends has a tour guide certificate, which saves a lot of ticket money, and the other is a small bargaining expert, who has reduced the room rate a lot, and the drone brought by the organizer.) My experience is that you must not Living on the prairie, it's just too cold for my wife
Northern Xinjiang Tour D1 (from Urumqi to Wucai Beach in Burqin County):
I got off the train yesterday, took the bus and checked into the same hotel as my friend (the hotel can do nucleic acid), washed up, went out to buy necessities, and went to bed early. This morning, I met my friends (who had already picked up the car after getting off the plane yesterday), and started the trip to northern Xinjiang, and found that they were all "travel experts". Oh yeah !
Passing through Beitun City, it was the first time I ate "Xinjiang Fried Rice Noodles".
Catch up with the afterglow of the setting sun in the scenic area, and come out to meet the "double rainbow", it is really popular!
Will the photos I took of my friends be on the cover of magazines?
The beautiful scenery made us very excited. It was dark and late in Xinjiang, and we didn't check into the hotel until after nine o'clock. Had dinner nearby, I didn't expect the soup and rice here to be noodles
D2: Depart from Burqin County, Kanas, transfer to Hemu, live in Hemu
Four people ate breakfast for 133 yuan, compared to 30 yuan in Urumqi City, it is indeed like the price of famous scenic spots
The speed limit on the road from Kanas to the scenic spot is just right for taking pictures. The little partner's drone is showing its power!
Before entering the scenic spot, Kanas also produced a lot of films. Tickets are 230 per person. It takes about an hour to take a sightseeing bus from the entrance of the scenic spot to the innermost part. The promotional film shows the scenery of the four seasons. After arriving at Kanas Lake, it started to rain after walking a few steps, and then it became heavier and heavier. I wanted to go back home, but when I found out that I was almost at the exit, I speeded up.
My friend's mobile phone took pictures of the water and the sky in dark blue, which is really beautiful!
Don't look at me in summer clothes, it's really "snow"
We added some caloric food, and then took the small sightseeing car of "Guanyutai" (Guanyutai is an observation platform for watching "Kanas Water Monster"). Not long after walking on the plank road, the sky changed again. After arriving at the fish viewing platform, we returned quickly. The raindrops mixed with small hailstones rushed down, so we had to cover our heads with a scarf. After waiting for the sightseeing car on the return trip, I hurriedly took out the thermos and took two sips with my friends.
The picture below is the reflection of the wet jeans
Before the rain and hailstorm, my partner had been amazed that Kanas Lake looked like a big emerald. And the amazing thing is that one side is calm like water, and the other side is choppy. At the bus stop, I met my teammates who were left behind because they were obsessed with taking pictures, and unexpectedly met new friends. After a brief exchange of greetings, I said goodbye, took a car out of the scenic spot, returned to the car, and changed into dry clothes before my body recovered. Arrive before Hemu Scenic Area closes (22:30), buy tickets, take a small bus up, and stay overnight. If you really feel the cold, down jackets are necessary.
D3: Hemu transfer to Karamay Devil City, live in Karamay
Wrap up a down jacket in the morning, put on a warm baby, and go shopping! There are still quite a lot of tourists in Hemu, and it feels like a small Swiss town. I decided to come here once in autumn and winter, or live here for a while after financial freedom. Beef Noodles in Clear Soup for Breakfast
I also met a professional photographer, professional photography is good! And took a group photo for us
When we left, the sun was out, and it finally changed from winter to summer, four seasons in one day.
Speaking of it, our team is really "performing their own duties". The organizer is responsible for doing strategies and driving most of the time, bargaining and acting as a model at the Little Beauty Hotel. Apart from being a video expert, Brother Jie, because he has been out for a long time, his clothes bring Get everything, lend two cotton coats to unprepared partners, I am the logistics supervisor and bookkeeper.
The second is to meet two motorcycle friends on the road, starting from Inner Mongolia, will it be very exciting?
On the road from Hemu to Karamay, sometimes the sun is shining brightly, and sometimes the wind and rain are precarious. We found a golden reed on the side of the road. After we finished shooting, we also took pictures of another car of beauties, and our friends were very satisfied with the photos.
Picture 5 is the moment when my friend took pictures of another car of beauties
The little beauty's Apple mobile phone shows that her legs are two meters long.
This photo reminds me of a movie "The Sun Also Rises"
It is cheap to eat and live in the county, but the scenic spot will be several times more expensive. There is no way, and people only earn half a year's money.
D4: Karamay transfer to Sailimu Lake, live at the gate of Sailimu Lake Scenic Area
I left Karamay in the morning and arrived at Sailimu Lake at nearly 6 in the afternoon. After checking in, I drove into the scenic spot. There are a lot of tourists in the first scenic spot, and they should all be tour groups. We stayed for a while and then turned, the scenery behind is amazing! The temperature dropped quickly, and some people were wearing hot pants at the beginning, and it was no exaggeration to wear down jackets when the wind blew from behind
This is "Jesus Light"!
Driving further in, there are almost no teams, just sporadic self-driving and wedding photos in Sailimu Lake, and a few people are shooting videos.
On the other side of the lake, the afterglow shines through the clouds, the golden light is so beautiful, look at my photo of "Jeon Ji Hyun"! My friend thought of taking pictures on the sunroof of the car, it’s awesome
The sunset is really beautiful. When we came out after dinner, we saw the sunset again. It's so popular!
D5: Sailimu Lake to Zhaosu County, Yili Prefecture, live in Zhaosu
I was awakened by my body at 6:30 today, did you see my outfit for taking photos of Zhaoxia?
Of the three dishes last night, only the "three-color corn kernels" tasted as expected. Today I finally ate the big plate chicken that I have been thinking about. Two northern girls said that the chicken is very Q and the white skin noodles are very fragrant. The two southern boys ordered another broccoli. After eating and buying supplies, we agreed to go for a pedicure to relieve the tired body of the previous few days. It is said that I even snored. The old man can't afford to be hurt, rest well and face stronger battles!
D6: Xiata Scenic Area, Zhaosu County, Yili Prefecture to Tekes Bagua City, live in Bagua City
There was a heavy rain last night, so I covered the quilt on the bed next door and pressed down jackets, and woke up until dawn. It was a real summer vacation! I passed by a peony garden this morning (it is said to be "peony peony"), and I took pictures of several other beauties. Finally, I said I would bring you a flower. They thought I was going to pick the flower, but I said it was just "foreground". It's nice to hear that everyone is very self-conscious. To be a qualified tourist, only photos are taken away, and only footprints are left behind.
Take a sightseeing bus into the scenic spot, and then stop at the station.
The picture below is the snow mountain at the last stop, which looks like an advertisement picture of a certain brand.
The team withdrew soon after taking the photos. There were few people when we took the sightseeing bus, but we ran into the paved road, so we just took a rest
Sitting in the co-pilot on the return journey, it happened that there was a gradual change in the front windshield of the bus, so I took a picture of the dark blue sky as a matter of course.
When I went out of the scenic spot, I ate fried vegetables that best suit the taste of my friends in the south.
Borrow photos taken by my friends with drones.
D6: Turks to Tangbula Grassland, Nileke County
I finally had the breakfast of mainland varieties, and the most affordable lunch. The baked buns are only 2 yuan, compared to 6 yuan in Beijing without filling. This is a really conscientious store. Passing by a lot of rapeseed flowers, and there is a "Bee Farm Bridge"
D7: Tangbula Grassland, Nileke County
According to the self-driving driver along the way, it is closer to Tianshan Mountain than Kalajun. Thank you to the friends who took pictures for me, thank you for your hard work!
This is when the speed limit is stopped on the side of the road, and I found my peers
Xinjiang Northern Xinjiang Tour D7 yesterday (Tangbula Grassland, Nilek County) beautiful photos were all taken by my friends with drones.
This picture has a sense of "story"
After listening to the words of a self-driving traveler, I went forward to hold a meeting. The scenery is really different. The photos on the bridge are quite distinctive.
The little friend wanted to live on the grassland, asked all the way, and finally chose a wooden house for trial operation. The light of the setting sun was already partly golden during dinner, but I didn't expect the golden color to be even stronger when I checked in. I also met local people and the mayor for dinner in the restaurant, went in and chatted for a while, and poured us two glasses of white wine, but I had to decline, because the earlobes of the locals are so big! There is a "Sing if you want to sing KTV" car next to it. We two girls went in, but we couldn't sing well because we were adjusting the sound for the first half of the time. Before returning to the house, I saw that I was breathing, took out the baby warmer, and put on a down jacket. This is not a summer vacation, it is obviously cold! The "ginger tea" I brought is also sold out
My "Caramel Macchiato"
D8: Tangbula Grassland, Nileke County):
Xinjiang Northern Xinjiang Tour D7 yesterday (Tangbula Grassland, Nilek County) beautiful photos were all taken by my friends with drones.
I captured "The Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Subduing the Dragon", so I have to think of other ideas later! Our team cooperated quite tacitly. Some people said that the scene was beautiful, and they stopped immediately, thinking of ideas at home, both on the roof and the picture above.
At noon, I went back to the place with the lowest prices. I was afraid that my friends in the south would not be used to eating noodles, so I chose a Sichuan restaurant. None of them are spicy~ delicious and not expensive. The altitude keeps climbing, and there is still unmelted snow left in the middle
I met a group of RV drivers and made fish and steamed dumplings. I was greedy. The picture below shows two RVs and a motorbike.
I had a very nice pilaf
D9: Kuqa, Xiaolongchi Scenic Area, Tianshan Mysterious Grand Canyon, live in Heshuo County
At the end of the winding mountain road, the drone of the little friend was blown down by the wind. He cleverly made a loop with a rope and hoisted it up. There was no danger. Go down to eat near the checkpoint at a slightly lower altitude. There are too many people, and you have to grab your meal
Woke up early in the morning and the sky was cloudy, and then the sky opened up
Later, I went to the mysterious Grand Canyon of Tianshan Mountain, and the color was more beautiful after the sun came out.
Lu met a little brother with a SLR camera on his back. His itinerary was similar to ours, a day later than ours, and he was traveling with colleagues. I said, why don't you have a beautiful woman as a model? There are the following photos
We plan to travel a little bit more, and the last day will be less stressful. Before, I saw a Sichuan restaurant in a place full of large trucks, but I didn’t go in. I just patronized and joked about the past of “don’t be spicy”. Whoever imagined that for an hour or two, I never saw a service area for catering. Fortunately, I prepared instant noodles, self-heating pot, etc., bought a cantaloupe, and asked someone for boiling water. This can be regarded as an experience, which can make this trip even more impressive.
From the nearly 3,000-meter altitude in Kuqa to more than 1,000 meters, it is like returning to summer from winter.
D10: Go back to Urumqi, go back to each house
When I got home, I was still not quite used to it, and I always thought about wearing a seat belt. Thanks to the friends for their company and taking pictures, and hope to meet again by fate.
