51 this year, I used the seven days and two days holiday vacation down a long journey, April 28, 2002 starting at night, May 7 at night and returned to Beijing and traveled nearly 11,000 kilometers, to spend 2700 yuan, has reached Xuchang City in Henan Province and Zhengzhou City, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Urumqi, Kashgar Prefecture Kashgar City, Bayingolin Mongol Autonomous Prefecture of Korla City, Jiayuguan City, Gansu Province, Lanzhou City. The following from the train and city tourism both to talk about my feelings.

The tickets relatively smoothly in Beijing before the walk had been bought in Zhengzhou to Urumqi, T197 second ticket, in addition to the first time in 036-line set of a 2089 meeting in Beijing to Xuchang ticket. In fact, last year's 51, I think the votes are not to sit tight when the T197, but for insurance purposes, this is the first to buy.
April 28 at the official start to Xuchang, sitting the passenger section of Xinyang 2089 times, YW25B ordinary car, along the way feels pretty good. In general, I was sitting there are three sleeper fear, a fear of someone snoring, I will not sleep, two children were afraid, especially the younger, and too much trouble, the three fears a lot of people are together, sometimes they sit down at a grid Lane, too crowded. 2089 sitting of my lower berth the snoring is very powerful is the loudest I have ever seen people who have been in my university, my upper berth is a snoring person, should say that I still have a certain to adapt to people, but this time, or not, but to no sleep.
April 29 at noon from Xuchang Zhengzhou, sitting the passenger section of Xinyang K786 times, YZ25B ordinary cars, although the number of people on the train, but also be able to find a seat, it seems 25B of the car is still very popular among ordinary people welcome.
From Zhengzhou to Urumqi sit Zhengzhou Passenger Transport Company T197 times, YW25K air-conditioned car, a year later went to Zhengzhou Railway Station, feeling much better than in 2001, and I looked at the ticket hall, the same day tickets can be bought T197 , Zhengzhou Bureau of second gear a lot of other cars are floating in the air-conditioning, T197 times did not, visible to the passenger traffic in Xinjiang is not large. At 17:00 on the 29th, the train on time out Zhengzhou Railway Station, this 25K car is still good, just feel the automatic toilet flushing device is too wasted water. At 10:00 on the 30th in Lanzhou, this is the most I've been to the western end, and now must continue to move forward, felt very excited. T197 from Lanzhou a station open to the Wu Wei Nan, the water consumption of relatively large, hence the water shortage situation, this is the only time I have this long journey water. And then west from the Wuwei very desolate, and only a few short grass, to the Jiuquan I can see snow-capped mountains in the distance, this is the first time I saw snow-capped mountains. The temperature here is still great, get off at 3 pm to the feeling of Wuwei is also very hot, and so on after 9 pm to Jiayuguan felt some cold. Is already wake up the morning of May 1, though it has been late and a half hours. In Xinjiang and Gansu Gobi Gobi feel very different, Xinjiang Gobi barely see the grass, all stone, wood barracks at the time had seen a lot of wind turbines east of the railway is the first time that I feel very Fresh. In the late 50 minutes later, the train finally arrived in Urumqi Station.
Urumqi station gave me the first impression is not good, Station disorder, another surprise me the most or train schedules, have been newly published in April from the national schedule to see the Southern Xinjiang Railway time has changed, but overall adjustment, but I found vote-buying, or the implementation of the old schedule, a question was aware of the new timetable from May 11 until the opening. Hastened to buy a ticket, K886 times standing tickets have not been even, and exactly 5806 times there is a sleeper ticket, it seems I was very lucky. Urumqi station cut of votes is not good, obviously there are a lot of people, but only 15 minutes in advance ticket, and so I have not yet firmly installed in the car on the train opened. Urumqi and Beijing due to the time difference, so if pay attention, then you will hear the train station, forecasting, said Beijing should be a few a few times, which in other places not.
Ride from Urumqi to Kashgar Korla that the passenger section of the 5806/5807 second, YW25G air-conditioned car, a lot of people, the car felt better than I imagined, because inside of the Uighur people are not particularly large, as in my yard on the grid All the Han nationality, and is a Beijinger (I), a Shanghai, two from Sichuan, 2 Urumqi, directors, and that two was a little girl Sichuanese to see and they all can go I will enhance confidence (not to be afraid of). From the first to open back to Urumqi to Kashgar Turpan, and then go down to the southwest direction until the South Xinjiang Railway Kashgar.
South Xinjiang Railway is a single-track railway and saw little signs of human habitation is not a vast wasteland, and only train in the Mercedes-Benz at heart, a kind of language can not express feelings, too spectacle. However, after over a Akzo did not feel good enough, first of all there is no air-conditioning, followed by the railway on either side are the desert, but here are very fine gravel, together with the train quickly, looked from the window I saw the train was dust shrouded inside is also filled with sand and dust, than I ever have been to the desert (for example, Bao-Lan line) to be much more serious, sand from the cracks in the various compartments come in, full of sand, almost to suffocation, because the carriage there is no air-conditioning, kind of similar feelings and sauna. To wait until after the status of the Atushi have been alleviated, when the conductor began to sweep cars, to eliminate a lot of sand, it seems appropriate for the Southern Xinjiang Railway specialize in the production of a good sealing performance car, or ride this train will certainly be a long-term health negative, even the conductor said that they will sooner or later get lung disease.
After more than 24 hours of travel I finally reached my long-awaited Kashi station, the most western end of China's railways. Kashi station is very beautiful, and feels better than Urumqi stations. Get off on the ticket, did not think the day of the station only sell tickets for more than two days to buy tickets to go to the urban area to buy, despite the need to pay 5 yuan fee I bought, after all, away from home or on the safe side as well. Originally from Urumqi to the Kashi three trains a day, fast, pukuai and Pu 1 each customer class, fast, and pukuai full just bad for an hour or two files but pukuai air-conditioned car, so I bought the pukuai 5808 times. As the passenger flow few 5808 times from 11 the date is not to Kashi, and to Akzo after a back to Urumqi.
At 7:00 p.m. on May 3, I take the train out of the 5808 sub-Kashi, I set out on his way home. There are few people in the shop quite a large number of leisure. I sat back to 5808 times and when the cars not the same, is also a Tangshan plant 25G of the car, but almost all the sleeper cars have only one toilet, the original one in the car should have a size of a toilet, but now a small toilet The locations are the power distribution room, the original crew in the compartment at one end of the distribution of water without any equipment room, resulting in tension in the toilet. After returning to the desert when they encounter problems when there is no air-conditioning and a great dust. I have a few passenger cars that strong demand of air conditioners, the last arrival of a vehicle crew, he said that there are a lot of sand in the wind Daoli, so that everyone be careful, I did think there were also a little soil, air-conditioning did not expect an open, wind Daoli accumulation of sand fell from the sky, as if a dust storm, suddenly car is full of earth, a little exaggeration to say that is reaching not see five fingers. I hasten to escape from inside. We immediately open the windows for quite a while before had subsided, I had specially bought upper berth result, they are the most unlucky, bed, a thick layer of soil, luggage rack, a table full of earth, many people are eating, which under the You can not eat, I cleared more than one hour to pack before Tingdang. Once again, I deeply feel for the Southern Xinjiang Railway should specialize in the production of a good sealing performance cars, or really can not stand.
May 4 8 am to reach Korla station here to start selling tickets until 9:30 am, at the time they opened to see the K883 from Urumqi to Korla second car stops, organize a lot of confusion, double-decker cars and other vehicles mixed, the Southern Xinjiang Railway passenger car segment in Korla all cars, generally SYW25B, SYZ25B air-conditioned car, climbing in general is a 22B car. Korla station that I've seen the most stringent security checks, and I had just fastened bag into them, a police officer asked who ran out of the package, I said yes to me, he asked me if I was a book, I said it was schedules, a result, he let me open the package also careful look, I do not know what he wanted to see, he has to take a metal detector check if any metal objects, specifically asked whether or not knives, I said that only travel scissors. This is the only thing I've ever seen the train station with metal detectors.
At 13:10 on May 4 I take the 1068 meeting to Jiayuguan, this car was my most enjoyable trip, one can see the scenery of the Tianshan Mountains, and second, few people, almost no passengers, I ride hard-berth No. 3, etc. After a Hami on fewer than 10 individuals, and three is to serve well, always see the crew in mopping the floor, the carriage was very clean, the car sat in the dining car is my only one to send tea in the dining car dining, I have the impulse to which I eat quite a lot. The grouping a lot of cars, 20 cars, but also in Xinjiang, one of the few present to 22B of the car, as if the only other Zhengzhou Board 1045 / 6 times.
Tianshan Mountains during the day before that I felt most of the most enjoyable trip. Start and did not pay attention when the train began to open in the valley, here reminds me of the Baoji-Chengdu line. I have also seen estimates are called "show line" of the railway, the train arrived in Kandahar from Korla to open so that old station is still in the valley, the continue to move forward to open, when the train entered a tunnel, I was felt that the train had been turning, and on the rise, as expected and so the train out of the tunnel exit when I saw the tunnel almost directly above the imports, but exports have in the hillside, and out of the tunnels is the next Sunbeam Station, Shin Kong station is in the hillside next station, but also After a while, the train entered the tunnel on the Shin Kong No. 3, but also the construction of one and the same as earlier, and then out of the tunnel has been on the Peak, and then the train is surrounded by a prairie, where the temperature is relatively low, the ground snow cover, see the dark green of the train in the snow slowly forward I felt a harmony of beauty, the train station through Kazakhstan and Georgia around after a big S-shaped road entered the Worcester station, I was surprised that the sky actually began snowing flowers, there seems to be a railway area, we saw two drivers down, for the two drivers up to open a station near Worcester, a very long tunnel, the tunnel imports several typhoons machine, there are fans Tunnels are rare, when introducing the Southern Xinjiang Railway train in the broadcasting, in fact, from Turpan to Korla interval of 70 years to build, and learned that the longest tunnel in the Southern Xinjiang Railway is 6052 meters.
When the train station to the satellite source when I saw a very mysterious place. Star Source Station is halfway up the mountain station, is on both sides of a valley, this valley is still a lot of, many valleys where there are road workers in the year legacy of architectural monuments, but in the Star Valley to see the source station is not so scenarios. Here is like a little town, exactly to say a big factory, there are large plants, neat planning the construction of residential buildings, office buildings, schools, stadiums, if there is a building is a hall, the factory walls, the outside there are roads and bridges, but has been washed away by floods. All the buildings, whether plant or a residential building in almost all glass, no windows, the factory's ground cluttered and some raw materials, but do not see one person seemed to mysteriously disappear, like, when I really want to get off a look. I judge that there was once a three-lane facility, then all moved back to town, and leaving it a prosperous year to tell the construction, plant outside the walls of the "prairie fire Machinery Factory" character, I am determined to have the opportunity to definitely come back here later to see in person look, look at this mysterious plant.
Special train station has opened Dakar dry out on the basic of the Tianshan Mountains, and then train all the way downhill ditch stand open until the fish is already plain, and the train all the way from the altitude of 2000 meters of the Tianshan Mountains to the plains of the fish to open the railway trench area, My ears have been uncomfortable Guoliaohaojiu adjust to come, I want to fix the future, after the Qinghai-Tibet railway may also have such problems. In the fish ditch trains for motorcycles, dual-plane DF4D replaced by stand-alone DF4, open until 10 pm Turpan station, so far I travel the end of the Southern Xinjiang Railway. Turpan's very windy and I'm still Turpan station saw a strange train station broadcasting of the trips was 002 times, I see isolated car is YW25K, back a few cars are RW25K, good high-level car! Trip to Xinjiang in Urumqi Bureau tube ride almost all the delays, T197 to Urumqi delayed 50 minutes, 5807 to Kashi has been delayed for 50 minutes on the road, the last 30 minutes of recovery, 1068 to Turpan delayed 30 minutes, but out of the Shule have been punctual in.
May 5 1:30 pm to Jiayuguan, originally wanted to buy the afternoon K438 to Lanzhou, but I ride 1068 times when the passing Yumen station to see Yumen Station, parked a motor car group "Jinlun number", I wanted to take time. Unfortunately, I only get hard seat in Jiayuguan, I think should be added to the sleeper did not want to T658 plays "Jinlun No." Only a hard-seat cars, a lot of people do not buy a ticket on the up, the results of abnormal crowded, I waited for nearly 2 hours before until the sleeper. T658 is the grouping of YZ25DT (1), YW25DT (2-4,8-11), RW25DT (5-7), where I see the conductor with a new hand-held replacement ticket machines, play stations selling tickets and the same, or very advanced. However, some defects, fill out the tickets were all playing the same number, I is able to fill on a team that is not up, there are more than 10 in the shop to play the 10 cars in the 22 shop, happened to me here, The results for every one person I must later have to explain to him to take votes to find the conductor, conductor to give you what brand of what sleep shops. I estimate that there are two Kanawa, Lanzhou Board No. DMUs (Portland Bureau of the western section to write the inside), the other one is the Lanzhou to Xining, and only SYZ and SRZ, I did not sleep, observed a moment, the train toilets use a vacuum Set toilet, but the noise is very large, at both ends of each car equipped with automatic doors, the door has a touch switch, click on the door automatically opened and closed automatically after 10 seconds, but I think that this is not in line with our national conditions, because back and forth many people wear on the door caused by repeated switching is very serious, I sleep in the 22 premises, the entire evening heard the door back and forth movement produced a huge sound, it is estimated there is no lubrication of friction sound. Jinlun No. room attendants is to control all the cabinet, there is no tables and seats, the results of all of the conductor are to sit in the aisles, or very difficult.
The morning of May 6 to Lanzhou, Lanzhou, the new transformation stations indeed not the same, I feel the hardware has been a qualitative leap, since the end of the seasonal holidays, tickets very nervous, I bought a K44 has no sleeper, and had to buy a soft sleeper, but because an ordinary car, cheaper than the T76's hard sleeper, K44 of the lower berth soft sleeper is 371 yuan, while the T76's hard sleeper is 390 yuan lower berth. K44 is a Bureau of Lanzhou, Lanzhou and Jiayuguan to play the next day with paragraphs Lanzhou and Jiayuguan originating from the car, I have seen are 25B of the car, I had just sat RW22B and RW24, this is the first sitting RW25B, feeling not bad, in fact, soft sleeper, I never much money but can afford to sit still, but there are two drawbacks I do not want to sit soft sleeper, soft sleeper train almost every one has a smoke, and the results box at the air polluted mess Second, some people do not sleep very late, but I could not sleep without lights again, and this is contradictory.
K44 times from Lanzhou 14:50 drive to the dry pond has been a single, and then is double-track, That the rate of mentioned it, people are still a lot along the way, after all, to work faster, and May 7 8 am to Hohhot station, see the station parked a factory-made by the Quartet EMU, is a Fujitsu car, car was set-pass plate segment, provisions are made NRZ25DD (1), YW25DT (2-3), RZ25DT (4), YZ25DT (5-6), YZ25DD (7), from a schedule point of view should be at least have two. Passed the feeling approaching Hohhot to Beijing, but there is little doubt that the way I used to see in Beijing Railway Station traction K43 is SS3, but I have to Zhangjiakou, the K44 was replaced after the South DF4, estimates are not the same as the locomotive back and forth .
At 7:00 p.m. on May 7 train arrived in Fengtai station, I also ended nearly 11 thousand kilometers of the Southern Xinjiang Railway journey back to Beijing. All my 9 days 9 nights, 8 nights is spent on the train, a total expenditure of 1799 yuan fare, charge 20 yuan, a total of 1819 yuan, due to 51 tickets did not go up, more than I expected to be less.
