foreword
Speaking of Xinjiang, apart from the Flaming Mountains that I knew through the 83rd edition of Journey to the West, and Turpan through grapes, I really don’t know anything about it, so I have the impression that Xinjiang is dry, hot, sandy and loess, and I have never taken the initiative to understand it. Until a year ago under the epidemic, the desire to travel with nowhere to rest drew my attention to this largest province, which accounts for one-sixth of China's total area. So far, I have fallen in love with each other out of control. Even though the journey is far away and the epidemic prevention policy is cumbersome, my desire to go has not diminished in the slightest, and I finally set off a year later.
Itinerary Overview & Epidemic Prevention Policy
Xinjiang is really too big, so I have to give a brief description of the whole itinerary. With the Tianshan Mountains as the boundary, Xinjiang can be divided into southern Xinjiang and northern Xinjiang. The main difference: Northern Xinjiang is dominated by high mountains and grasslands; southern Xinjiang is mostly desert and Gobi, and it is also summarized as looking at the scenery in the north and humanities in the south.
Taking Urumqi as the starting point, northern Xinjiang can be roughly divided into two ring lines (or two combined large ring lines), the North Ring Road in the direction of Kanas, and the West Ring Road in the direction of Yili.
As for transportation, the distance between each scenic spot is quite far. Generally, self-driving, chartered cars, and group tours are the mainstays. It may be too difficult to rely on public transportation.
In fact, I really want to drive by myself, but I can't do it alone. Finally, I found a chartered car service from a travel agency on the Internet, 1100 yuan per day (7 commercial vehicles, including fuel, toll, parking, driver's accommodation, driver's meal supplement).
We originally planned to go to Kanas this time, and the travel agency also suggested that Yili is the most beautiful time at this time. After further research, we decided to follow the advice to take the Yili Ring Road.
In the last two days, I went to Turpan in Eastern Xinjiang.
The epidemic prevention in Xinjiang is really strict, and I have to say it separately. Although compared with last year, the policies of various scenic spots have stated that nucleic acid is not required, but in fact they will still be required when checking in to the hotel, and the checkpoints in each district and county will also check the itinerary code, and the epidemic prevention policies of each district and county are different. Nucleic acid testing does not need to be done in your own city in advance (only local ones are accepted). Generally, there are free nucleic acid testing spots near the hotel.
Tips: The following small programs and official accounts will be frequently used throughout the journey.
Small program: The itinerary card is the most used, and most of the checkpoints look at this. For Xinjiang government services, the health code here shows the time of the most recent nucleic acid test in Xinjiang, which can be used as a certificate in the area where the nucleic acid is to be checked (the small paper for nucleic acid hair can also be used as a certificate).
Official account: Wisdom Health Urumqi, you can check the nucleic acid results done in Urumqi. When visiting Xinjiang, you can make reservations for various scenic spots in Xinjiang (not buying tickets). This is mainly used in Turpan. The local scenic spots require reservations 3 days in advance. This must be made in advance, and the nucleic acid within 3 days must be prepared (and the first time you come to Xinjiang The station cannot be Turpan), otherwise you will not be able to pass the checkpoint. Let's talk about the details during the trip.
Day 1 Shanghai - Urumqi
After nearly 5 hours of voyage, the rickety finally arrived in Urumqi. At the airport, as long as you show your itinerary card, you can leave the airport if you have not been to a medium-high risk area and your body temperature is normal.
Take the car to the Ruby Elegant Hotel in Urumqi, where we stayed. After completing the formalities, the hotel will tell you to do nucleic acid in the alley next door. Fortunately, the nucleic acid here is all taken from the mouth. It would be a little scary to prick the nose. Although this hotel can't say how luxurious it is, the details are well done. There are masks and disinfectant towels in the room.
After finishing the nucleic acid, take a short break and hurry to eat the "start-up banquet". The Silk Road is about one stop away from the hotel. Many people already have reservations for popular restaurants before they open. Fortunately, those who arrive early don’t have to wait. The dishes are exquisite and taste good. I recommend buttered kavas, grilled lamb chops, baked buns and sorbet. Kavas, a unique drink in Xinjiang, really fell in love with it this time. The raw material is similar to beer. It has the fragrance of beer but does not have the bitterness of wine. It is so friendly to me who can't drink alcohol.
Although Beijing time is uniformly used, in fact Xinjiang has a time difference of at least 2 hours, and the sun does not start to set until nine or ten o'clock in the evening. So we took the subway for another two stops to the International Grand Bazaar.
To enter the Grand Bazaar area, you need to go through security checks. In particular, aerial photography opportunities are required to be stored and cannot be brought in.
In addition to looking at the special buildings, the things in this utensil shop are particularly beautiful, and the drum shop is also very distinctive.
The other is the repeated dried fruit shop, I feel that there is not much shopping, maybe because our family really doesn't like shopping.
Day 2 Tianshan Tianchi
I haven't started my chartered car business yet, I bought a through ticket to Tianshan Tianchi online in advance, which is actually a group of individual passengers.
Take the bus to the designated place early in the morning to gather and take the car, and arrive at the scenic spot in about 2 hours.
This is a 5A scenic spot that is relatively close to Urumqi. If you have a plan to go, it is recommended to go at the beginning of the itinerary, so that the scenery will increase gradually. Otherwise, you will feel that this place is very ordinary after you have visited other scenic spots. And to be honest, the ticket price of this scenic spot is much more than the fee to go later, and the cost performance is low.
Tickets for Tianshan Tianchi are 155, and you can also choose Maya Mountain cableway (sightseeing car 100 + cableway 120) 220, Tianchi cruise 100.
There is a 10 yuan one-way battery car to Tianchi at the entrance of the scenic spot. There is no need to buy this, unless you have particularly bad feet and mobility. The road is not long, and the slight slope is easy to walk.
After walking to the center, Tianchi comes into view, with green mountains and clear water, and snow mountains can be seen in the distance.
Maya Mountain overlooks the entire Tianchi Lake, and cable car tickets are not cheap. If the weather is good and the snow-capped mountains can be seen in the distance, it is still worth going up the mountain. Come here~ But if the weather is cloudy and the weather is not good, basically Tianchi this time Don't waste these hundreds of dollars.
Why do I say that, because the weather was fine when we first arrived, and it was really beautiful to overlook the Tianchi Lake after going up the mountain. But a large cloud had begun to cover the mountains, and within about five minutes, the mountains were covered with fog, and nothing could be seen. In addition, the temperature on the mountain was only over 7°C, and the wind was so cold that I was shivering. I couldn't see anything, so I didn't continue to climb the mountain. It was so cold that I "fleeed" down the mountain.
As for the cruise project, there is not much need to sit in bad weather. After the boat departs from the pier, it will first drive to the middle of the lake, and then it will stop at the pier at the temple (the one in the picture below) on the way back. You can disembark from the boat and climb up to the temple, then come back and continue to take the follow-up boat to return to the original pier.
This temple can also be reached along the mountainside plank road without taking a boat.
The stairs are quite high, we only climbed to the yellow one in the middle, and gave up on the red one. PS: The temple also needs to pay 10 yuan to enter its range.
Looking at the Tianchi Lake from the temple, there is a bald land on the right side of the mountain showing a "mountain" character.
Go back to the pier and turn around again, then go to the parking lot to gather and go back.
Back in Urumqi, I went to the fat old man for dinner. I only know about Xinjiang Dapan Chicken. After arriving in Xinjiang, I found that Pepper Chicken is more common than Dapan Chicken. This restaurant tastes good. I recommend it.
Day 3 Sailimu Lake & Guozigou Bridge
The much-anticipated Yili Ring Road has officially started~
At 8 o'clock in the morning, the chartered driver was waiting outside the door. It is more than 500 kilometers from Urumqi to Sailimu Lake. It takes six to seven hours to drive on the high speed, which is really quite a distance.
Lunches on the road these days are basically settled in the service area or small roadside shops. Don’t have too much hope for the taste. For the purpose of filling your stomach, a serving of noodles, hand-picked rice or meatball soup, 20-35 around yuan.
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, we finally arrived at the scenic spot. There are two types of tickets for Saihu Lake. The price is the same for taking a scenic bus around the lake and driving around the lake by car. It is calculated on a per-person basis, and there is no need to pay for the car, so it is especially suitable for self-driving, and the road inside is not difficult. We began to think that the master was a little uncomfortable to follow, so he should be allowed to rest on the long road, so we chose to take the scenic bus, but to be honest, we still regret it a little. Self-driving is indeed more free, and it can also be in less crowded places Place to take pictures.
The Saihu Loop Scenic Spot bus departs from the East Gate Visitor Center, stops at 5 stops on the way, and finally returns to the East Gate. Each stop takes about half an hour, and the whole journey takes the same bus. (Clockwise or counterclockwise ring may change. We were clockwise at the time. You can enjoy the lake along the road by driving clockwise on the right side of the car. Because there is no explanation on the car, the names of the scenic spots below are estimated by me from the map, maybe Not accurate enough.)
First stop, Pine Tree Head. I think the place with the best scenery throughout the whole process should have an absolute role in the good weather. The sky is blue and the grass is green, and the water is blue and deep. It is called the last tear of the Atlantic Ocean and is full of poetry. This breathtaking blue really sealed me in place, and 30 minutes here is not enough.
Xinjiang is really a magical place. With a wide view, you can often see the blue sky, white clouds and bright sunshine on one side, but a large dark cloud covering the sky on the other side. And we are also moving towards the dark cloud area.
The second stop, Koehler Yongzhu. There are many mountain springs here, and the springs are like strings of pearls gushing from the gravel layer by the lake, hence the name. However, the stop time of the scenic bus is fixed, and it is not enough to walk slowly along the lake. I didn't even see the swan. When I arrived here, I almost came to the junction of sunny and cloudy. Some waters were affected by dark clouds, and the water color was not so blue.
The third stop, Dianjiangtai. Get out of the car, weirdo! With light rain and strong wind, it was no less cold than yesterday on Maya Mountain. The color of the water completely lost its luster because of the lack of blue sky. Many people took a quick look and hid in the car just like us.
The fourth stop, unknown, I heard the driver ask if this is the grass skiing place, is there anyone who wants to play, no one ~ so I drove directly...
The fifth stop, hydrophilic beach. There is the highest boulder in the scenic spot "Xinghai Sailimu Lake in the Western Regions" standing by the lake.
Even in this way, it takes about 4 hours to take the scenic bus for a quick circle. I feel that the shopping is not enough and leisurely enough. If time and economy permit, those who drive by themselves can also consider staying overnight in Saihu Lake. There is a camp inside. I feel that if the weather here is good enough, it is very suitable for watching sunrise, sunset, and stargazing at night.
After arriving at the east gate, we returned to the area with good weather, and left the scenic spot to go to Qingshuihe Town to stay.
On the way, you will pass Guozigou and Guozigou Bridge. Although it is not possible to stop and take pictures at high speed, it is a different feeling to shuttle through the canyon.
In Qingshuihe Town, we stayed at Qingshui Hotel in Huocheng. The environment is not bad. Many tour groups live here, and the water temperature is not stable. After checking in at the hotel, I will be told to go to the community to do nucleic acid. It takes more than ten minutes to walk, but it is okay to drive. Tourists will be sent a small card when they are ready, and the nucleic acid in Yili area can be shown by this small card.
The journey was too far today, and it was already past 11:00 p.m. when I got back to the hotel. I planned to go to the town to have dinner, and finally I simply had a rest in the room.
Day 4 Lavender Garden & Kuokesu Grand Canyon & Bagua City
In June, Yili, known as the hometown of lavender in China, lavender must be a must-see place. There are a large number of large and small lavender farms in Yili, and the most visited ones are Princess Jieyou and Princess Hanjia Lavender Garden, etc.
It’s really because we didn’t do enough homework in advance. We went to learn about Princess You Lavender Garden early in the morning and found that many teams also came here. There are explanations and sales of lavender products.
Of course, the flower area has been carefully designed, but the lavender field is not too big and there are many tourists, the visual effect did not meet my expectations. It was only later that I learned that there was another Princess Jieyou Lavender Farm with the same name. I saw that the results of other people’s photos there were quite good. They said that they had visited several, and compared it, it was the largest. Use it as a reference for future friends.
The following photos are still in Princess Jieyou's lavender garden (my suggestion is to go to the farm on your own!).
Arrive at Kalajun Scenic Area at noon. There are two lines here, Kalajun Grassland and Kuokesu Grand Canyon. You can buy tickets separately. It usually takes two days to play the whole game, unless you start playing early in the morning.
We only went to the Kuokesu Grand Canyon because we arrived at noon and would leave the next day.
When entering the scenic spot, take a small car to the pier to take a boat, and there is a long step after landing.
After that, I started to take the scenic bus on the canyon, and stopped at three stops to play one by one. The bus was in the form of rotation and the time was free.
As the bus gradually went up the mountain, the long road led straight to the sky. At this moment, I really felt that I was driving in the city of the sky. The scenery was like a scene in Hayao Miyazaki's animation, which was touching.
First stop, Crocodile Bay. After getting off the bus, there is a long plank road below the canyon. The road is not difficult to walk, but it will be a little tiring. When you walk to the bottom, you can see a peninsula shaped like a crocodile.
Looking up from the bottom of the valley, it looks like a sky station.
Since Yunnan, my parents have expressed the highest sigh so far, "If I didn't come, I wouldn't know that the world still has such a scenery!" My father is like a teenager who must take a photo of jumping.
Crocodile Bay is very image!
I don't know what the name of the second stop is. Walk along the long path, you can ride a horse on the left, and the canyon is on the right.
The clouds today are really beautiful. It would be perfect if the grass here could be more lush and green.
Canyon is no slouch.
In addition to riding horses and grazing, the herdsmen here also have motorcycles.
The third stop is Nine Bends and Eighteen Bends & Human Grassland. Because of the long distance, this is a mini version with nine bends and eighteen bends, which is not the same type as the Bayinbulak one we went to later. If the river in Bayin is compared to a solo with an absolute protagonist halo in that environment, then the river, grassland, snow-capped mountains, sky, clouds here... form a chorus that cuts to the point.
The human body grassland, the specific area it refers to is not very clear, it should be called so for the grassland with the beautiful curves of the human body in the past. As I said before, it would be nice if the grass could be more lush here, the curves can be seen, but the color is really malnourished.
When we came, we took an ordinary boat, but the return journey was actually a speedboat.
Stay at the Junde Hotel in Turks Bagua City at night, the location on the first ring road is quite convenient.
Bagua City, before I went, I was very interested in this huge city array designed and built according to the orientation of the Bagua "Houtian Map" in "Book of Changes".
So mysterious and charming, let my almost retired aerial camera set sail again, and for the first time, it was really flying legally. Friends who want to release drones in Bagua City, please bring the machine and ID card, and go to the police station near the central Tai Chi altar to make a report and you will be able to fly in a fair manner. The process is very simple. Fill out a form and take a photo with the machine. In this photo, there is a note about where you are going to fly, you can write Tai Chi Temple, flying is allowed here.
Another thing to note is that although this is called a city without traffic lights, it is not true. In addition to paying attention to the traffic police, there will be small movable solar signal lights in the middle of some intersections.
Dinner is eaten at the secret pepper chicken. It is very popular, the business is constant, and the taste is good. This street is full of stalls.
For the first time, I felt that only one battery for the aerial camera was not enough. I really wanted to fly up to see the night view at this point. PS: The Ferris wheel outside Bagua City can't overlook the city, so don't waste money~
There is a big supermarket at the Tai Chi Temple, which happens to do some supplies. Dairy products must be drunk in Xinjiang, the milk recommended camouflage~
Fifth day Nalati
Last night, I thought about flying off the aerial camera before dawn today. The body really can’t do it. Going to bed late and getting up early every day is too hard.
Although it was already dawn, I decided to go to the outermost circle of Bagua City to take a look. It is located in the Yijing Cultural Park (near the Ferris wheel), and there is an open space at the door to put it.
It's a pity that the sun rises too high and the light is too strong.
Arrive at Nalati Town at noon, the whole town is long and close to the scenic spot. I found a store at random, and the meatball soup I ordered tasted pretty good.
The Nalati Scenic Area is divided into three lines, Air Grassland, Panlong Ancient Road, and River Valley Grassland. Tickets are generally valid for 2 days, and you can buy traffic for each line separately.
If you can't walk all three lines, the air grassland is generally the first choice, and we also walked this line first in the afternoon.
Scenic buses are dispatched in rotation and not fixed. First stop at a viewing platform. After boarding the platform, the view is wide, the nearby grassland is green, and the snow-capped mountains are in the distance.
Nalati is the best state of the grassland in the whole trip, especially rich and rich.
The second stop stopped on a large grassland, and finally saw the cowherd on the horse.
After that, it is the end point of the bus, "Nomad's House", which is getting closer and closer to the snow mountain. The scenery here is also very good, as well as the food.
Although the "nomadic family" is the end point, you can buy another ticket here to go to Snow Lotus Valley (closer to the canyon of the snow mountain). Whether it is worth paying for it or not is a matter of opinion. I personally think it is worth it, especially when I stopped at a viewing platform on the way down the mountain. The straight pine forest on the grassland is too rich in layers.
It's 5 o'clock when we leave the scenic spot. It's still early in Xinjiang, so I'm thinking about playing another line. However, after inquiring, I learned that it takes about 3-4 hours to go around the Panlong Ancient Road. After thinking about it, I have to rest very late. After struggling for a long time, I decided to give up, find a restaurant to have a good meal, and go to bed early.
Mr. Chen's small restaurant is very popular with tourists, and the food tastes good. However, there are not many people and the transportation capacity is limited, because some groups will also come here to eat, and finally the store will no longer accept individual customers.
I bought this kind of melon at a mobile car stall on the roadside, 2.5 yuan per catty, and only 10 yuan for two. It is so sweet that you can eat the skin directly.
Not long after returning to the B&B, the travel agency came to inform that the northern section of the Duku Highway could not be opened to traffic as scheduled due to a geological disaster a few days ago, which meant that my itinerary to go back to Urumqi from Duku the day after tomorrow had to be adjusted~ It’s a pity, but There are always unknowns in the journey.
Day 6 Nalati & Bayinbulak
Last night I was busy changing the hotel for the day after tomorrow, so I didn't think about more. I got up this morning and the matter was resolved. After thinking about it again, the distance from Nalati to Bayinbulak is not too far. I might as well go to the Panlong Ancient Road in the morning, as long as I pay the transportation fee for the scenic spot.
The grassland at the first stop is my favorite, with herds of cows and horses.
I was also fortunate to see the newborn foal, the placenta was all on the side, and Mengmeng stood up~
There is a shiny horse that is very active, and it runs happily from time to time, because no one is watching it, and I am a little scared when I get too close, for fear of being picked up, hahaha~ everyone should also pay attention to the distance when taking pictures.
After that, continue to take the car to Panlong Ancient Road, all the way up the mountain.
After the scenic spot came out, we had a simple lunch and set off for Bayinbulak.
Although I can't walk the northern section of the Duku Highway, I can still walk a short section of Duku from Natila to Bayin.
When we drove to the highest point, there was actually a lot of thick snow on the side of the road, but a lot of it was gray, and those who didn't know it thought it was cement.
Came to Bayinbulak Grassland, this is the scenic spot with the most people in a few days. It is clearly written here that drones cannot be placed.
First, I took the scenic bus for a long time and came to Swan Lake. I thought I could see a lot of swans here, but the reality is that there are more seagulls than swans, and more people than seagulls.
Accidentally photographed, a "well-trained" military training red-billed gull~
Because too many people feed the seagulls with food here, the water at the edge is not clean.
I saw 3 (one out of the frame) swans along the way.
After shopping and then take the bus, the second stop is actually Barunkure Temple (the last mobile temple in Bayinbulak Grassland). But when the car stopped, it was found that many people did not get off, and there were many people waiting for the car below. In this situation, we have no choice but to stop, otherwise we don't know how long we will have to wait before we can get on the bus again.
After arriving at the terminal, it is not the place to see the nine bends and eighteen bends. Here you can buy tickets, ride a horse or walk up to the platform by yourself.
Although the scenic spots in front are very tasteless, this scene alone is worth the ticket price! The river is as calm as a mirror. It is said that when the sky is clear and the sun is setting, you can take up to 9 sun reflections in the water. Therefore, many photography enthusiasts gather here.
The scenery around the viewing platform is not bad, and you can see sheep densely packed like ants underneath.
Originally, we also wanted to wait until sunset, but we had to wait for 3 hours. Looking at the thick clouds, it is estimated that the sun should not be exposed after the sun drops to a certain level. In addition, the row of viewing platforms is almost full of long guns and short guns. It is said that Many people come to reserve seats at 3 o'clock, and it is admirable to wait five or six hours.
Tonight's stay can be unique, returning home with Jingdong, a modern yurt. Why do I call it modern, because when I was looking for accommodation, I found that there are many yurts nearby, but the real yurts do not have separate toilets or shower rooms. Although I want to experience life, I really don't want to bring the elderly to suffer too much. Accidentally found this one too fit the requirements.
Day 7 No Duku, Pegatron transit
Before dawn, I was woken up by my dad because I said last night that I want to watch the stars. I opened the curtains in a daze, and I said it was all because of the clouds, so I fell back and continued to sleep.
Come out in the morning, the weather is really bad.
The opening of the northern section of Duku was postponed due to the collapse (it was finally opened on July 4 this year, which may be the last time it has been opened to traffic in recent years.).
We couldn’t go to Duku, and couldn’t go back to Urumqi (you have to go around a huge circle). The travel agency suggested to go to Hejing for a transfer. After research, we decided to drive a little more today and transfer to Heshuo, so that it will be closer to Turpan tomorrow.
The environment along the national highway is not as good as that of the highway, especially the toilets. It is good to have a smelly dry toilet.
Arrived at Heshuo County at around 3:00 pm. There are not many people on the road in the small county. After checking in at the hotel, I opened an order to go to the county hospital to get a free nucleic acid test, because tomorrow I will go to Turpan to request a nucleic acid test within 3 days.
After finishing the nucleic acid, there is nothing to do today. I searched that Heshuo is closer to Bosten Lake. So I found a green fish farm with good reviews to eat fish, which is considered Tiantian mutton for a change.
Day 8 Turpan Karez & Flame Mountain & Tuyugou
Starting early in the morning, Turpan, the most stringent epidemic prevention line, has three summary requirements: ① Nucleic acid within 3 days, ② Make reservations for attractions 3 days in advance on "Tour Xinjiang", ③ Turpan cannot be the first stop in Xinjiang.
When I knew it was less than 3 days since the scenic spots had been booked. The driver and we have been worrying about whether we can enter. Fortunately, after asking the travel agency, we know that the itinerary of this road has been reported in advance, so we are considered a group in nature, not an individual passenger, so there is no need to make an appointment.
After entering Turpan, the surrounding environment and temperature began to change, as if passing through space.
Arriving at Karez, I experienced a completely different heat wave as soon as I got out of the car. This also determines that the play in the past few days will be more hasty, because it is really too hot~
Because Karez is an underground water conservancy project unique to arid areas, the first half of the visit is underground, so it is not hot yet.
The second half is the vineyards, which are just bearing fruit in this season and will not be picked until July and August.
It feels like the entire Karez scenic spot came out after more than half an hour of shopping.
Then continue to drive to the famous Flame Mountain. Among all the TV series I have watched the most times is the 83 version of Journey to the West, this classic must pay tribute.
In the central square of Huoyanshan, the thermometer showed that the surface temperature was 72°C. The mobile phone and SLR started to get hot, and it felt like a strike might happen at any time. After punching in and taking a photo, I quickly hid in the car.
Because the visit to this scenic spot is much faster than expected, it is too early to go to Tuyugou.
This is the oldest surviving Uyghur village in Xinjiang, known as the "living fossil of folk customs".
The golden loess is full of history, and it is very suitable for taking pictures here, but at present, I feel that the planning of the scenic spot is not mature enough, the instructions are not clear enough, and the Thousand Buddha Caves are not open due to repairs.
There are two parking areas on the road of Xiatuyugou, and it feels good to overlook the village and canyon here, so we stopped when we returned.
I lived in Shanshan County tonight. When I checked in, the boss asked you if it was difficult to come in, because the epidemic business was still affected a lot.
Day 9 Shanshan Kumtag Desert - Urumqi
In the morning, it is not too hot to enter the Kumtag Desert. There are 2 sightseeing cars in the scenic spot. The route is at the end of Line 1 and you can continue to transfer to Line 2 to go deeper. Line 1 can be sold separately, and Line 2 includes Line 1.
There are some decorations in the sand sculpture of Line 1, which is suitable for taking pictures.
There are many charging items on Line 2. If you like excitement, you might as well play it.
We climbed Huisha Mountain, but did not climb to the top. Unlike the previous climb of Mingsha Mountain, it is too hot here. Climbing barefoot actually has less resistance, but after climbing, the temperature rises and your feet start to burn!
After leaving the scenic spot, I found out that the original place of origin of cantaloupe is Shanshan? ! So it should be called Shanshan melon~
I came out of the desert to have lunch. Shanshan’s Harik special pilaf has high ratings and popularity, and the price is not expensive. It is worth trying.
Returning to Urumqi again means that my trip is coming to an end. Because of the implementation of the nucleic acid policy, another nucleic acid was done.
Before dinner, I went to the Zhengfei fresh milk branch to buy pasteurized fresh milk, but it was sold out. The boss said that many tourists came to buy it recently, and finally bought yogurt. I asked the boss what time the door opened the next day, and he said it was 9 o'clock, but the pasteurized milk was only available at about 12 o'clock, for those who are interested. The yogurt is quite thick, with a layer of milk skin, and it tastes good.
Finding that this itinerary has not fully eaten a barbecue, I found this Sulayman grilled lamb sausage near the hotel. The order is not too much, because the barbecue here only has meat and no grilled vegetarian dishes, so you can't eat too much, it will make you tired.
I was always obsessed with melons, but I couldn't find them in Urumqi, so I bought this local melon that I had never seen before, but I can't remember the name. The taste is also quite amazing, the sweetness is relatively low, but the water is huge.
Day 10 Goodbye, Xinjiang
There is only enough time in the morning to buy a breakfast nearby, and I bought some baked buns and naan. The baked buns are best eaten while they are hot, and the naan can be eaten anytime on the road. Although it is hard, it is particularly chewy, and the more you eat, the more delicious it becomes.
Ten days, I thought it was not short before the journey started, but it was fleeting when it really started. I was moved by the sights I saw. Although the person has come back, I feel that my heart is still there~
At the end of the article, set a flag or wish for yourself, let’s take the North Ring Road next autumn, and hope to drive by yourself.
