Starting from Urumqi, passing Fukang, Jimusa, and Mulei, all the way to the east, along the way there are farmlands, grasslands, and more of the endless Gobi desert. It may be full of beautiful scenery in the eyes of literati, but it is endless in my eyes. desolate!

It was not until entering Balikol that the scenery turned green, with vast grasslands, herds of cattle and sheep, and the beautiful Balikol Lake; there were not many tourists and there was no charge, which is exactly what I wanted.

Balikun Lake is building a road around the lake. It is estimated that after the completion of the construction, it will be like Sailimu Lake and grab money like crazy (Sailimu Lake is 60 kilometers by car, and it costs 1,000 yuan per car), so if you have the opportunity, hurry up and go.

Balikol County is very small, but I don't understand why it is so crowded and there is no parking place! Isn't it just relying on tourism development? this vision

The next day, I left Balikun to go to the Mingsha Mountain scenic spot. Fortunately, I only charged 10 yuan for the entrance ticket.

Mingsha Mountain is so strange, there are patches of green plants on the sand mountain, which is eye-opening.

Leaving Mingsha Mountain and starting to cross the Tianshan Mountains to Hami, this is the most exciting part of this trip. It is full of winding mountain roads, extremely steep, and it is raining lightly, walking in the clouds and mist. It is so beautiful! Compared with the Internet celebrity Duku Highway, there is a world of difference, and Duku feels like nothing.
