In April 2001, I was due to travel to Xinjiang, the working of it, so that saved a 4,800 yuan ticket money, lower the cost. Of course, the 4 / 5 months of Xinjiang climate is not a tourist wedding day, many places are still ice-covered snow, but just let us avoid the crowded hustle and bustle of the crowd, alone to enjoy the beauty of paradise. 4.28 officially start going to the "Beyond the Great South," said Ili. To save time, we take a small flight from Urumqi to Da Yining City, a half-hour, 590 yuan.
Starting that day Urumqi sudden heavy snowfall, "elegant out more wind and rain", ha ha! ! ! I also worry that it will be affected flights a result, was told that a small case, no problem! As the time difference, and that evening the Yining still sunny, bright like the with the big noon. Trees, approximately 27 degrees Celsius. "Less than Ili, Xinjiang, I do not know the beauty." The local level is very warm for us, and Xinjiang, the "large meat and drinking bowl" is known throughout China, Yili very still. What is special song Ili, Ili the old cellar, variety many. Also mostly an exceptionally pure, ultra-high alcohol content, and not easy on top of the food wine!
Is inserted into the sudden want to look at some more than 100 kilometers away from Urumqi to Heavenly Lake, Xinjiang, more than 100 kilometers in the distance is close to, and often run a car on the road for several hundred kilometers only signs of human habitation. Tianchi legend Queen Mother bathing place, in the country as a whole must be regarded as the number of spots on. May be send too much hope, to the mountain Yi Qiao, very disappointed, a little bit surprised at the feeling of excitement did not; again or been to Jiuzhaigou, so there is no water in mind and then the water than too beautiful Jiuzhaigou a. I remember a kid watching TV, aerial Tianchi is like a pocket in the wash basin of water, seemed to overflow, the difference is to make pots for four weeks along the steep snow-capped mountains, good good magic. Perhaps the weather still warm, snow-capped mountains yet to melt, a basin of water left in Ban Pen, no more vivid and the momentum was gone too. Local minorities very warm invitation to you holding a small lamb photography, spoke incessantly you surprised by the purity of Guangdong vernacular.
Nilka County, drove to the second day. Sub-River Forest Park is a dwarf trees, the park has several large cages, farmed the snow leopard, ibex-like wild animals. Several white walls red roof went for a small house tidy, trees and shrubs in the yurts have little meaning, but added to a group of Kazakh students in the game when the song and left some impression. "Smoke in the desert straight river down the yen." Back to the way in Yining City, the evening sun through the glossy dark green leaves of poplar close, leaving the mottled shadow; our car ride in the vast grasslands, snow-capped mountains in the far forever Office of the sky, and we chase; the road on both sides of a flock of sheep grazing on the grass Nuebu leisurely manner. . . . . . An instant, the hearts of some long-lost Sentiment on the hook out of emotions. At this time, they would understand Tengger "Meadow", the emotion of the place; it was urban or non-grassland sentiment of people will never see; and I should be how to describe it? That barren, open, using language to describe the empty and pale, and with the camera is one-sided and no layering; can not be expressed in words, can not use the lens performance. Toyama well versed in the afterglow of sunset, distribute infinite divine glory; each leaf in a shining light of joy, you can almost hear the joyful singing; touch the sacred heart of hearts has also been dyed; life, so what? How things? Young wizard-like catkins flying all over the sky, all the way directed at us rushing toward us.
Ili said the most beautiful evening, is the best sunset photographers have themes. We are due to the time of the rush, arrive early in the morning Ili River, across from the bridge on foot after police car rushed to the county. Review Xibe Autonomous County, known also because of the bravery and combat skills to live here, people. When the early Qing, originally living in the Northeast five thousand officers and men of the people to guard the motherland Xibe western frontier, his family moved here. After untold hardships to cross the mountains, to the Daca when the remaining three thousand counties. Continued to survive, are now autonomous tribe 30000 people have been.
We visited the only one of the local Buddhist temple, but also bought a rather Xibe ethnic characteristics of the hand-embroidered purse Sachet. Because Buddhism in Xinjiang, non-mainstream religions, suffering from wind, frost, snow and rain erosion of the temple has been in disrepair for years, showing a bit worn and decline. Down quite exquisite handicrafts, colorful.
Not yet reached the season guozigou failed to show us the most graceful side. Che Xingzhi Pine Valley Head guozigou peak, when I look back, and discovered inadvertently rolling snow-capped mountains in sight, the momentum is compelling; white snow-capped in the sun's shining particularly dazzling, as if about to melting of the ice cream is necessary to flow down, and pure blue sky, lush pine forests to co-ordinate so well; so good, so to clean, then the way people forget!
The cars keep going up, suddenly turn right; almost instant, while gorge in the middle, glanced with a piece of pure blue - like a curtain slowly opened, released a wonderful clips! Turn the corner of Hill, presented in front of a blue-green phase embedded Wang's green, tender embrace of lying massif gently Dangzhuo microwave, beautiful Sailimuhu ah. While had heard good name, but saw, we still can not help but "wow!" Sounds of astonishment arose. Dark green, Sky Blue, green, light green, Wang blending into a lake, like a color layered painting, a brush, a trace of scenery of the gas; front is a large yellow green lawn, has been extended to the lake; goose yellow Small Wildflower Chunyiangran to swing in the mountain breeze; 32 horse pacing the lake water, graze; horizon-shaped light winds a translucent blue snow-capped mountains; eagle hovering in the spotless blue sky, lakes and mountains, beautiful; slowly approached her, and fresh air flowing from; each step, are some other style.
The quiet beauty! This is a beautiful legend of the Kazakh girl falling into a tear; moment, actually moved to tears to fall. This is the magic of Xinjiang: Yili close to half of the state of the lake has been completely thawed, the other half of the state near the Bo still in the frozen lake, just like two different landscapes. Sailimuhu altitude of 2000 meters, ground state is Bo, the local called "Big Three Haizi"; While it is not all green grass, the weather was very cool, but the yellow shoots, I feel the breath of life. I remind myself how lucky, thank God allowed me to see such a beautiful Cypriot Satoki. Could not imagine in the summer when the mountainsides full of wild那达慕大会the yurt, I am afraid that time I could only see the flow of people and vehicles dense bar. Cyprus Lake, I suddenly fell in love with this piece of land of Xinjiang!
To leave the Cypriot Lake, God-like magic of the green will be replaced over the hill side of the deserted mountains, and only one regiment clusters of Haloxylon straw tremble in the cold wind howling inside. Gobi desert landscape vastly different from the "Beyond the Great South," Xinjiang's rugged YR eyes. In viewing, in fact, that in painting people. The way the sun is also hid in clouds, it seems that in order to render a thick atmosphere, blurred smoke, waving loose steaming airflow will be heavily covered by the earth; eyes seem to appear like a snake wriggling in the fantasy, is actually the end of a boundless desert Beach, the vast endless!
Near Bole City, a roadside kiosk, Tingbian a rubble mound, saying: man-made mound, is parting meet Mongolian expedition trips welcome and send off the land. On the dismount this wine come, come back when leaving the drink cups: the first cup with the ring finger-point first horse breast dipped in wine, up throwing bombs down to the relatives and friends to show Respect, Respect, the King family and friends. After two cups of drained Zexu.
The voyage, drove to the rocks valley. According to research, here was originally submarine beds, due to changes in earth's crust, exposing the sea, have become a mountain. Erosion-corrosion due to seawater, huge bare mountain riddled with problems, showing the face of ferocious or funny. Of course, this requires imagination. Want to come with the Zhoushan Beach baishishan almost the same, suddenly, the previous enthusiasm disappeared and exhausted, climbed the peak and then hastily.
To Alashankou shore to go through Ebinur; Ebinur inland a saline lake, the water is rich in a large number of alkaline substances, the entire surface of the lake showing different shades of white color. Barren sand, only the high winds swept the ululation Haloxylon firewood hum issue. Stepping on one foot deep and shallow one foot of gravel walk to the lake, not into the sport utility vehicle in the distant bush, terror rises from the heart, gradually enveloped the whole lake, secretive gradually been extended, the strange waves atmosphere. "Rub!" A gray lizard climbing out from the dead branches in and quickly jump into another sand; the sand immediately resumed calm, only some can not tell what kind of biological footprints.
Depletion of residual water in the riverbed where the role of minerals under the reddish yellow firefly light, seemed to tell the former glory; distant mountains, or crimson, or light gray, or black and white lake coal sharp comparison, but even more to reflect a strange lake. If the three Haizi tempting surprise, it is with people Ebinur surprise; the vast surface of steam Haizi hazy, anti-charming tales of a somewhat mysterious. Silence of the Beaches, not more nostalgia, and soon returned to the highway.
TOYOTO4500 in the northern highway ride, and soon reach the shore Alashankou. Transported inland second-largest port in China, and Kazakhstan border; "51" points off the holiday season, year round non-stop 8-10 gales blowing closing the door I will be standing in rickety boats, standing instability .
We returned to Urumqi in 2, take a luxury bus to the Korla is located in Bavaria in southern Xinjiang. Bavaria is the world's largest executive Autonomous Prefecture, while the Korla fragrant pear is famous and famous. However, because some time ago the invasion of dust storms, leading to pear cut 70% (sorry!). Benz bus on the road in the rugged southern border is hard to play useless, because a large tanker reasons, often with some time later to find opportunities for overtaking lane is; through China's largest wind power station, "Wind City" Dabancheng, the history of military strategy powerhouse Yanqi, "Journey to the West" in the flow of Shahe "open all River" and the beautiful Kongquehe.
The car in the bumps of the seven and a half hours later arrived in Korla; crimson went so far as the Gobi Desert is also hidden Korla this lively city, on both sides of the highway into the city, long a barren little seedlings, the locals tell us Hongliu; do not belittle these trees, arid land and they could not withstand the harsh climate that they take root long leaves.
Have just arrived in Korla, hastily went to China's largest inland freshwater lake - Lake Bosten, also known as reed marshes; the car has always been along the emerald-colored Kongquehe forward, one side is rich in lakes, vibrant; the other side is Huang Sha lit, salt mottled; when the Department in the spring, reed mostly brown, but added groups of river gulls, and make it full of life, fun, as well as the ducks fly together, graceful egrets pacing; beautiful Kongquehe, nourishment in Bavaria the land, raising a generation after generation of sons and daughters of Bavaria; if the reed switch to be green, and long to two high-rafting which is how one of the pleasant things happen?
You taste of the real desert Mody? Of that oasis in a vast, endless stretches of sand dunes; hot sand, quiet, no bird, no birds, no reptiles, not even ants Kera; loneliness, helplessness, the face of sand dunes, people just seem even more insignificant; Without these desires, leaving only the survival instinct; each Duodai a minute, panic will be tiny bit more, until the fleeing intolerable; behind a string of footprints instant Jibei quicksand covered over completely no traces of . Sha Guo Seamless!
Nankai from Korla to more than 600 kilometers, you can reach the edge of the Taklimakan Desert; desert highway across the desert, in the distance, we encountered a small car sand cyclones, moving sand dunes and many went to the desert off-road vehicles. Through China's largest Populus euphratica. Populus euphratica is good wood, since ancient times, enjoy "born alive a thousand years, would not fall after the death of a thousand years, but never broken down another thousand years" and reputation; Populus euphratica like a tough guy image and the desert to co-ordinate an unparalleled, that is the kind of boundless earth feeling.
