Have long thought of the Northwest walk and experience the rugged north-west, honest folk customs. A few days ago, in the specially purchased aviation insurance, set foot on the IL -86 Xinjiang Airlines. As Beijing - Urumqi, Xinjiang Airlines routes to, only the North and the two Southern Airlines flight, it belongs to no discount to speak of monopoly price, full price tickets!
The aircraft arrived in Urumqi GMT 18:40 yes, due to Beijing and Urumqi had more than two hours time difference, there is still the sun is high (up to around 10:00 pm GMT genius black). Landed a new ground in the local barracks, airports, etc. for almost 30 minutes to get luggage. From the airport to the city with the airport bus, very cheap only ￥ 8.00. After the hotel stay there, it is necessary to solve the problem of feeding a lot of restaurants here, but most are local flavor. I live in a hotel opposite the night market, very lively, probably around 2:00 at night. It was later learned that the three major local staple food in Urumqi are: Da Panji (belt side delicious, but very spicy), pilaf, and noodles. Nang, lamb chops, milk tea, barbecue is also a popular food. In addition, Sichuan is very popular here, the night market on the hemp, spicy, hot probably account for about 40% of the desktop.
A few days later the shuttle in the urban areas act and feel like a medium-sized mainland cities, taxis are very cheap. Are generally Jetta and Fukang and other models, ￥ 1.3 / km, 6 yuan / 3 kilometers starting. Feeling with Beijing Xiali prices are pretty. The city's security situation is better than expected, much of the ethnic minorities encountered on their way brothers can be considered good, but good Chinese general said that if the words suggest that you ask for directions or to find Chinese high efficiency. If you want to shop, then you can go to erdaoqiao market, there is Uygur neighborhoods, often there are some national characteristics of the craft and commodity for sale, the price is acceptable (if the mood to buy, I suggest we should not bargain with the stall holders). Knife Yingjisha there are deceptive, you can look for at the roadside, you will see some Uygur elderly street vendor selling knives, like good-looking but very practical, belongs to a class of their own items to use. Where you can eat homemade ice cream Uygur people, more distinctive taste.
Saturday, Sunday went to the Heavenly Lake, and Turpan. Tianchi scenery beautiful, the lake front, surrounded by mountains and large tracts of forests (mainly silver fir trees for the snow), as well as the distant snow-capped mountains form a landscape. However, if you want to take pictures, then we must hairtail eyepiece, or can not be photographed panorama. In addition, if you go into the mountains, the best to bring along a jacket, the mountains where there is no sun or cold. In addition to outside Turpan raisins and Huoyanshan did not give me a lot of feelings. However, through the Turpan - Ukraine - next to the big high-speed wind power plants to be very spectacular, in the way from Urumqi to Turpan, will pass by all of us in the lyrics of well-known "Dabancheng" Unfortunately, far away, did not see city girl. :)
The general feeling of good value everyone a tour of Xinjiang.
