From Hami to Turpan in the evening four-hour train ride went to, because the train early, and Turpan is a stopping train, and engage in a very awkward position of us, that no toilet on the climb out of bed is gone, Qing students is not even a sock no wear in a hurry put on shoes get off.
Out of the site, time is 5 am, outside a quiet, wilderness whirr of the blowing wind, the platform of the flag flying in the wind, issued the sound of buzzing, as if millions of soldiers here, hidden, silent spy on the us, waiting in the wings. I stood there, biting cold, extremely natural coat of the chain put up pull, then pull, hoping to reduce the invasion of wind bar. Guide has not come yet, we are a group of unwanted children as pitiful and stay there, God, travel companies do not like us selling bar. We all can not stand, and hurled themselves into the waiting room shelter from the wind, the results of a good meal You Ji aunt drive, "you're not waiting, ah, ah can not wait here,"好惨. Fortunately, the guides come in, but it would take two hours by car to the city, a sizeable, you can play a nap in the car.
Car to a hotel, eating breakfast, we would go visit the classic tourist spots Turpan ran Ancient City of Gaochang. Turpan ancient times known as Gao, the Silk Road on a major city, called "Fire Island" Yi Yin Grape Valley where rich variety of high-quality grapes, also known as the "Grape." Ancient City of Gaochang in Turpan city, 45 kilometers east the southern foot of wood Gouhe Huoyanshan Delta, was founded in the 1st century BC, the Han Dynasty, is the world's religions, one of the cultural riches of the treasure. As early as the Western Han Dynasty years, that is, cities, Western Region E has been XiaoWei Zhisuo here, the county in the Tang Dynasty established the Western Jin Dynasty era Gao Wang Ju Wen-tai had personally went to Chang'an tribute, Xuanzang also westbound preaching here, here or in the Tang Dynasty are Anzai protect the seat of government. We have chosen a rather ethnic characteristics of the donkey cart, donkey cart covered with brighter colors of the blankets, lovely donkey's head hanging bells. We sit in two rows, wearing a flower hat black shit Prince uncle of the shouting, the pit-run up the cheerful. Into the city, greet our eyes is the stretch of desolate, barren, broken-Yuan walls, the erection of the uneven Where is the E has been XiaoWei House? Where is the Gaochang Palace? Where is the Anxi Frontier Command's Seat? Where is Xuan Zang to promote Buddhism temple? Only see a ruin, long past the bustle and prosperity will vanish very soon. Save more complete when I see the outer walls, inner walls, palace walls, Khan Fort, beacon towers, pagodas and other buildings. The southwest corner outside the city there is an entire city's largest Buddhist temple ruins, covering 1 million square meters, according to research, which is then passed through Gao Tang Seng Xuan Zang Journey to the West Country when he was king of yeast Wentai preaching to retain the office in January. They were also very very clever, because the weather is very hot in Turpan, and so many monks crowded together, will it suffocate? However, this building in terms of just building the sun rises and landing when the monks did not shine, in particular, of the cool. Bell ringing bells to attract us, the original Xinjiang young girl came to us to sell a small bell, and the once mighty force of the point of command the stage, while they shouted as he danced a passionate Xinjiang dance, Innocent Steps dancing like a rainbow Yingliang this quiet city, tender singing instead of sulfuric acid by-cheong, a strong command of the sound of an old man could not help dancing to follow, and we certainly did not forget the background of the use of the best snap a few.
After visiting the ancient city of Gao, pondering a bleak one, a lonely experience, we have other places to the Flaming Mountains, Turpan city, is located 10 kilometers north-east, east-west, long 98 kilometers wide and 9 km, peak elevation of 831.7 meters. Whenever the height of summer, the mountain in the hot sun irradiation, hot air billowing up, rich red mountain looks like the fire in the combustion. Because the "Journey to the West" Monkey King three years by the palm-leaf fan flames of the story of the fight against Huoyanshan makes Huoyanshan world famous. We did not go to the statue that they called a few people, but to a Best Cinematography point. Cloudy, small wind, the weather is cool is a rare good weather in Turpan, and occasionally there are a few drops of rain points, but because the dry and hot weather in Turpan, generally will not rain, and indeed saw the clouds rolling in the sky, but as any sign of rain a. But because Huoyanshan also appeared gray one, does not adequately reflect its momentum
After visiting the Flaming Mountains, travel arrangements should be Grape Valley, but this is not the season, but also in the way of Dunhuang to Hami have seen the vine, we are not very interested, and have refused entry, so turning karizi Museum. While listening to our instructors presentation while viewing the model. Karez, and the Great Wall, Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and known as the three major projects in ancient China, ancient times known as "Well Drainage," is the local people to absorb the Mainland's "Well Drainage Law" created by the rich to dive into water basins, dug underground through artificial channels onto irrigation use. Karez from the shaft, box culverts, open channel composed of three parts, the edge of the basin from high to low to play a number of mouth shaft, and then successive vertical shaft dug from the ground to connect clusters pass through a Road outward diversion, the water will be diverted to the ground. Karez is still playing a role, is a unique irrigation system. We also visited the Karez-site, the Kaner very narrow, the outside is hot, but the inside is cool, the above is also covered with Uighur house. Walk along the way view of water flowing, but also can be seen hanging above a bucket down, we immediately simulate like fetching water. Well chatting up grape trellis outside the sub, you can see green leaves covered with pearl-like the size of grapes cabinets, Lv Yingying, but unfortunately not mature fast-yi duo should not be large. Fresh grapes are not tasted, but the tasty raisins beckons to us, what red roses, Golden Queen, Golden Prince, species too numerous to mention, warm Xinjiang invited us to taste for free, until we feel satisfied before buying. And here, things are based on kilograms, and catty per kg.
Under such adverse weather conditions, smart and hard-working people and the environment in Xinjiang doing unyielding struggle to even create such a miracle, really numerous laments, people just how tenacious vitality ah.
