Today, a partner rented a plane, at a stretch tour of the Flaming Mountains, Ancient City of Gaochang, Astana Tombs, Grape Valley, karezes, Jiaohegucheng, Sugong Tower and other places. Fare 50 yuan per person, tickets total of 125 million, of which Bozi Creek because the road without going into the Thousand Buddha Caves.
I like the Ancient City of Gaochang, the Town Week is so vast that people miss from the Silk Road city of Gao as when the once prosperous; numerous ruins, and the ground was thick dust, suggesting that it is from the gloom and doom, the final extinction outcome.
AD 640, the Tang Dynasty Bingbushangshu Hou Junji western expedition led by the military took over Gao, die Jushi regime, and then set up in the Gaochang Anxi Frontier Command. Two hundred years later, moved westward to the Uighurs in the establishment of a tooth in the Gaochang account, saying that Western states Uighur, the north half of the territory, including Kucha Western Regions, and also ethnic Uighurs are Muslim Karahan confrontation, finally both to submit to Genghis Khan's western expedition army. In 1275, Kublai Khan of the sea are all rebels against the siege Gao, Gao, also to protect the fire red Howl jin killed, two thousand years of Gaochang distinguished accordingly with the nearby city of Jiaohegucheng destroyed by the flames of war at the same time.
Whip up some Uighur driver, drive a car as we enter the Old City donkey deep in temple ruins. This temple is located in Old City, southeast of surviving a polygon of the tower and the cave for a week, is the sole repository of the city a better place mural. From the pagoda, Bunsen cave murals and Muslims worship the phenomenon of coexistence of view, can be inferred from the time Gaochang people are devoutly Buddhist, but gradually accepted Islam in the process.
After a noon, came Huoyanshan in the Grape Valley. Many vendors sell fresh grapes, under the grape trellis and raisins, in addition to several additional restaurants and an artificial pond. So named "Grape Valley Paradise," and tickets 20 yuan, which is always a small trick people all sorts of pretexts to make money. However, the vine under the cool, so hot in the summer is especially valuable look.
Lunch is also some leisure time, so out of the Grape Valley Paradise, walks into the opposite lane of small trees. There are towering old trees, cool of the vine, as well as shed from the Tianshan Mountains on the stream of babble. The woods, there are households, melodious singing and Pieces coming, Mother, I went and saw the depths of a pavilion in the garden, the poly-sat four are drinking Uighur men, a young piano to unknown Kotomasa sang along.
I stopped listening to it Acoustic young people see me, I smiled to continue his performance. But I think his smile seems a bit bitter, he's sound bleak, and his singing lonely, faint his mouth, a hidden depression.
Another plump young beckoned me to join them, and requested me to drink beer, and I am happy to go along with before and they are sitting. Fat of the Chinese very well, he reportedly went to the South. I asked the kind of piano is called "Dong Bula", he said it was Kazakh musical instruments, this is called "Du Tower," is typical of the Uighur. Chatted for a while, he was a big Menggan beer, and Acoustic young people sang along with songs, Pieces of a turn, and gradually became cheerful together.
Jiaohegucheng, located in Riverside Yaerkezi a 30 meter-high loess plateau. This first car was a teacher of ancient Western Regions before the country's capital, has a long history with the Gaochang the same, because the protection was very good, is now being included in the "World Cultural Heritage." Valley surrounded by the city as a natural barrier, but left the south gate into a slope-shaped access is available.
The new puzzle along the main street, turn right to go up to the East Gate. East Gate near a 30 meter deep wells, straight Dayal is an underground river valley Zi undercurrent, but it is puzzling is that the ancient is how to draw up the water so deep it? Is 30 meter long rope do? In short, extremely difficult to piece things, it could be in a state of war emergency spare time, usually tenants to be out of town Kap Shui.
Continue north, you come to Jiaohegucheng of the most iconic buildings. This is a large-scale Buddhist monastery, went up the steps, you can see the great shrines temples Center. Shrines are empty, the display of the statues have long since the passage of time or destruction, or loss, is to marvel at. The walls of the monastery is still faintly discernible since some residual mural.
At this time the weather great hot gucheng as high as 50 degrees in temperature, evaporation of sweat Jipi just flow out. I am exhausted, no further north to the Old City of Tallinn and burial area, went straight back to the gate.
Doors have a piece large shade, Qingqing cool, many Uighurs Guanong are Shetan sell watermelon, Hami melons, grapes and other fruits also. We sat and chatted for a while the driver Arif, PENG Yong-half-jokingly asked him to introduce a beautiful Uighur Gul, Arif melon share it with Shouyi Zhi boss, we have a Look at about 30-something boss like to know Arif is playing us, pretending that angry look. Arif himself just laughed and said that the boss did not get married.
Yong Peng constantly complaining that the total can not contact the beautiful Uighur Gul, is his understanding of Tianchi travel, home is Turpan, and I saw he had fought numerous phone calls, a pity that the total no answer. He did not give up, tonight I sat the train to Korla, he would like to contact her and see if there is fate, then when will the decision to leave.
So I went to the daheyan town alone, and so on the train. Very fortunate to stand in front of a small cafe, I could have been more fun to the 23 o'clock train to open to.
Into the waiting room, heard a male voice in shouting my name. I looked up, it was Yong Peng, he said he was unable to get through that phone, had to also take this train to go.
Or miss呀! I can not help but smile.
