When I was still studying, I was impressed by the "Tianshan Scenery" by the writer Mr. Biye. He wrote from the grasslands, snow peaks and forests of the Tianshan Mountains in Xinjiang to pastures and lakes, covering all the rare and rare natural scenery. It can be said that Mr. Biye's beautiful essays were also a motivation for me to travel around Xinjiang this time. In the past few days, we have passed through Sailimu Lake to the Nalati Grassland, and we have traveled along the foot of the Tianshan Mountains; and the Bayinbulak Grassland that we are about to go to today is the last stop of our Tianshan Mountains attractions, so once again Feeling the pleasant scenery of the Tianshan Mountains, grasslands, pastures, lakes, etc. at close range will definitely evoke the memory of reading Mr.'s beautiful essays when I was young.
From the Qingshui River, the hometown of lavender in Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture, to the Nalati Grassland, where the sun shines, most of the places where the Kazakhs live; and when these few frames flashed through the car window, I saw such yurts and Aobao, we entered the place where the Mongolians lived and came to the Bayingol Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture.
As soon as the car entered the parking lot, there were rows of wooden huts lined up on both sides of the meadow corridor, much like the huts in Hemu Village at the foot of the Altai Mountains in northern Xinjiang. Could it be that the mysterious Mongolian Tuva people also have their descendants here?
Going to the entrance and exit hall of the scenic spot, the striking archway marked "Legend of Jianger" stands in front of you, and the surrounding yurts are row upon row, embracing each other, the scene is truly spectacular!
When we approached the entrance and exit hall of the scenic spot, the imposing pattern in front of us can't help but make people sigh: Bayinbulak Nature Reserve can be said to be the first to win! The yurt inn, the hut picnic, the legendary advertisement, and the chic and spectacular modern ticketing hall; such a big deal, it really feels like getting drunk before seeing the beauty.
Accompanied by the midday sun, the shuttle bus we took moved forward slowly, looking forward to the intertwined embellishment of green, yellow and emerald colors of the undulating hills, overlooking the twists and turns of the lingering rivers and streams, and looking into the sky, the snow-capped peaks like pear blossoms are quiet lying on the Tianshan Mountains. Of course, the scene in the distance described by Mr. Biye is "the snowy peak soaring into the sky, like the beaded crown of a Uighur girl dancing in a group," absolutely! Wonderful image! It's a pity, if I could have come to Tianshan with Mr. Biye decades earlier, I would definitely be able to find such an image and feeling!
wonderful! A stone-carved toad stares into the distance with round eyes. Friends who have not been to the field will never imagine its interest! However, follow our field of vision and look at the following few frames:
At this point, you can’t help but admire the purpose of placing the toad stone sculpture in the scenic spot: only the kindness that protects the creatures can play with the swans, and any evil that harms the animals and destroys the ecological environment will be shut out!
This is the Swan Lake in the Bayanbulak Nature Reserve, which is the natural lake in the Tianshan Mountains that Biye described in "Tianshan Scenery". I still remember the sentence in the article: "There is a huge natural lake on the top of Tianshan Mountain. The lake is calm and the water is clear to the bottom. The white clouds in the sky and the surrounding snow peaks are clearly reflected in the water, blending the lake, mountain and sky into a crystal clear one." Of course However, there are still many natural lakes in the high places of Tianshan Mountains, such as Tianshan Lake and Sailimu Lake, which are also in this huge category, so their commonality is obvious. However, no swans were seen in the first two lakes, but here it really proves that "in this secluded lake, the only thing that moves is that the whiteness of the swan adds to the clarity of the lake, and the cry of the swan adds to the clarity of the lake." The tranquility of the lake.” Perhaps Mr. Biye’s subject matter is the Swan Lake in Bayinbulak. However, there is another regret: time has passed, and now there are more human beings (although they are friendly) than swans, and it is difficult to find the previous tranquility.
Following the flow of people, we walked quickly along the trestle bridge, letting our eyes catch the white elves flying and playing on the lake. In the shallows in the distance, a swan and a few gulls are leisurely pecking their feathers and lazily enjoying the sunshine; on the opposite side of the pasture lake, a large group of sheep are moving slowly, and they seem to be grazing and drinking; Swans and other gulls follow in the footsteps of tourists, magnanimously and recklessly chasing food thrown by the crowd.
Snow-capped peaks, Jinghu pastures; swans play, and tourists go on blind dates. Seeing such a harmonious scene, the previous regrets have faded away. Here, human activities do not affect the activities of the swans, nor disturb the overall quiet atmosphere of the Swan Lake; on the contrary, the interaction between humans and swans adds an element of intimacy and harmony to the picture. If this is the case, even if you see such a scene, you will feel relieved.
Walking in such a picture, I can't help but praise: Swan Lake - beautiful!
We continued to move forward with the shuttle bus, and the lakes, grasslands, and snow peaks also flashed by our eyes, meandering and undulating, as far as the eye can see, it seems to spread to the entire sky.
Mr. Biye wrote this sentence in the pasture lake here: "If you say that it is like autumn when you enter the Tianshan Mountains, then it is like spring when you go further in. It is true! You see: "The mountain is gradually becoming softer. , the mountain shape gradually became softer, and it felt as if you could touch tender fat as soon as you stretched out your hand. The stream here is slow, lingering at the foot of every mountain, rippling gently."
The car turns along the road and circles upwards, "a wonderful pasture of thousands of miles is displayed in front of your eyes". This is the Bayinbulak Grassland, the highest alpine prairie in my country. Whether it is thousands of miles or not, I don’t want to verify it; but Mr.’s words must have his authority, not to mention that you are in such a vast and vast pasture, can you not be amazed by it?
"This grassland is full of green butter grass, and the green (I think it is blue-green, maybe because of the different light and color) streams are flowing along the grass on both sides." At this time, there are already tourists riding horses and walking slowly in the pasture under the lead of herdsmen. Of course, many tourists gather here. It is difficult for us to see the "galloping" scene that Mr. saw back then. But there's something moving about these horseback tourists "set against the blue sky, snow-capped peaks and green grass," too.
Following the figures of tourists on horseback, we and our party came to a highland.
The trestle bridge and pavilions are already crowded with tourists. Following their pointers, we saw the following scenes:
Here is the Kaidu River with nine bends and eighteen bends. More than a thousand springs are distributed throughout the grassland, and the trickle of melting ice and snow converges in the basin, and finally forms the mother river of Bayingol Prefecture. According to the tour guide, the ancient Kaidu River runs through the Zhungeer and Tarim basins, forming large and small oxbow lakes and marsh wetlands on the grasslands, nourishing the grasslands and nurturing the lives of generations on the grasslands.
Spectacular, gorgeous!
In the vast Tianshan Mountains in the distance, snow-capped peaks can be seen faintly. Nearby, the green and yellow grasslands and emerald green mountains are charmingly decorated in the lingering winding river. It's a pity that Mr. Biye failed to describe the "nine bends and eighteen bends" of the Kaidu River in detail, otherwise, I would have used his witty words to render this place to the fullest.
Look at these few frames again: the blue and green translucent ribbons are woven in the yellow and green brocade, winding endlessly towards the distant horizon, as if it wants to use its beautiful colors to describe a broader world. It is said that the Kaidu River also has a popular name called "Tongtian River". The "Shanjing Island" where Tang monks learned scriptures is located in Hejing County.
The scenery here is indeed beautiful, no wonder the scenic spot spares no expense in the entrance and exit ticket hall! How can such a spiritual mountain and clean water not raise a legendary figure like Jianger? How can such a "paradise" not make the Mongolians who are able to get the quilt feel proud?
Look, young lovers and ageless aunts are competing for "beauty";
Look again, our group also left our bright shadow here!
