An unforgettable self-driving trip in northern Xinjiang

Stunning Xinjiang, the natural landscape includes deserts, grasslands, snow-capped mountains, lakes, canyons, Yadan landforms, as well as exotic cultural landscapes, mysterious Lop Nur, Loulan ancient country, etc., such as the beautiful Tianshan Mountains, children's paintings Kanas, fairyland Baihaba border .

Affected by the epidemic at the time of departure, I could not go to Xinjiang via Guangzhou, so I went from Foshan West to Guiyang and then transferred to Lanzhou to take the high-speed train to Urumqi　

This trip is the most memorable trip for me. I experienced that I did not buy the high-speed rail ticket from Guiyang to Lanzhou. It must be transferred from Guiyang to Chongqing, Chengdu, Guangyuan, and then to Lanzhou.

The wrong guide sailed in the opposite direction, and then returned after walking more than 200 kilometers. A total of 400 kilometers was traveled in one round. Resulted in a day to walk 900 kilometers. If the train is out of service and refunded, you need to buy a new ticket. The plane is canceled and needs to be rebooked. I also experienced sandstorms in Jiayuguan. It rained heavily on Qinghai Lake. It has become one of the most unforgettable experiences in my travels.
