"Sapphire sky, the green blanket and flowers blooming all over the ground idyllic little fresh air is like riding a Pegasus and the Wu-sun, Wang Zongjiu, poetry and articles into the Ili,
Is entered
Eden "
The fourth day of the morning came to Urumqi, from the Ili to the car to meet us. From the Ili and Urumqi to Yining city, we have to go a full 12 hours. Scenery along the way constantly Changji sunflower, grape, overcast shade blocks out the sun's towering poplar ... ... ate at a roadside dot. Then move on. The fatigue and the long hot summer we had to sleep again. Do not know how long before, woke up. Some temperatures dropped. Looked out the window, car has rolled into the Gobi. The Peak of Tianshan Mountains and the distant shining in the sun, the snow shiny.
Sailimu Lake is that we go to Ili (Kazakh: Happiness meaning) on the road to see the most beautiful scenery. Qingqing alpine lakes Sailimu Lake River, near the clear blue lakes, Manshandishou leisurely grazing cattle and sheep, distant snow-capped Tianshan Mountains constitute a harmonious and beautiful natural scenery; is located in the Junggar Basin and the Ili River valley basin at the junction of Mt塔尔钦斯凯intermittent subsidence basin is located in Bole although Sailimu Lake County, but still owned by Yili jurisdiction, lake slightly oval. Since there is no water exports, the brackish lake. Here high altitude, the way cars drove Sailimu Lake will be getting lower and lower temperatures. Driving instructors said that several years ago, those places where cattle and sheep grazing is still snow-capped throughout the year, but now the snow line up is very obvious, has no trace of snow. Highway stretches a few kilometers from the top of the yurt are white, raised a smoke Road, pastoralists are by the roadside, valleys, lakes Runaways speeding ... ... misty Sailimu Lake if there is a large infinity, where the mountains, pasture also seems to be infinite large. We use the most greedy eyes to enjoy this paradise-like beauty of Jade Pool.
Master drive that you can ride horses there, 10 yuan per person. Had previously been riding a cow, has also been trying to ride a horse, but did not pay. How can we miss the great opportunity. From the hands of a fellow Qianguomasheng, cross-saddle launched. Ma started walking, at first a little bit scared. "Do not be afraid, open up bolder, controlling the reins, all right." Did not have to essentials, whole body stiff, his legs Bengzhi. Was gradually relaxed, the body to go along with the rhythm of horses rhythmic stretch, while the legs are closely link with horse's belly. Put about whip, horse began to trot up the horse manure on the grass a soak, cow dung, is still very fresh. . . Southeast University after two classmates riding, they seem to enter quite a lot better than I, only walking. And that two horses to see my horse began to run together, seem to be outdone, ran up; This can be terrified of people on horseback. "On several occasions from the horse nearly fell off, thanks to tightly grabbed the saddle .... To be can not afford to at the pit inside, you'd see disaster!" Afterwards, they frightened recalls.
Became the first rider on the prairie.
Guozigou one-off Sailimu Lake is guozigou - It is desirable to place a secondary school text, "Tianshan scene in mind" also remains, said that the scenery of colorful flowers everywhere, there are mushrooms, snow lotus, marmot, fruit many have no one to pick, rotten in the forest plot into a thick pulp, fermentation thick, issued by bursts of wine. "is now the construction of passage 312 to guozigou brought incalculable damage to the accumulation of reducing the number of wild fruit forest , "the original State Road 312 through which the ditch, full of wild forest, but now it is basically not see as it has been quite different back then," the master stopped driving cars, unfortunately recalls. But to my eyes, Now guozigou is still very beautiful scenery. Yili is indeed "the first King."
It is north-south North Tianshan, Urumqi is the 312 National Road - the road must go through channels Yili, but also a natural gateway to Ili. Guozigou length of 28 kilometers, along the Ukrainian ─ rough road toward Iraq, that is, the ancient Silk Road, Xinjiang, North Road, Genghis Khan's grandson, said territory to the West Billiton to spend a lot of strength to open up this guozigou.
Pine head, is guozigou's in excellent shape and the Department, under the direct Sailimu Lake, North River, south straight into the guozigou Canyon. Sailimu Lake, also known as three Haizi, with guozigou interdependent, Xinjiang is also famous attraction. Head south two sets by pine forest, rugged mountain hovering, a down valleys, is the steep of the Department guozigou. Valley Bangshan down, there is a high mountain waterfall volley pour down, shaped like Bailian vacant, a spectacular exception. Two sets is determined by the Qing army units Inn name. Prairie huts here sparkling mix of the best rest area for tourists. From 2 Tainan, the mountains gradually low, Taniguchi becoming more open, sparse spruce saw two roads, cross-Ke Liu Qi Yang strange, apricot, berries, eyeful green. Guozigou a natural treasure of nature given to the distribution of a broad and well-known wild fruits, medicinal plants resources are also very rich, vanilla fragrance from spring to autumn, wildflowers everywhere, colorful and diverse.
"I do not know Less than Xinjiang Xinjiang, the large, less than the beauty of Ili in Xinjiang I do not know," car into a realm of Yili, it presents a green and lush, worthy of the title is "Beyond the Great South." Ili River that flows through the land, through joint efforts with the surrounding mountains in this fast unlike other parts of Xinjiang, "feng shui treasure land."
We were arranged in Yining City, the construction of guest houses. Accommodation here is very clean, very polite waiter for us. Washed a lot on dinner, stroll a bit in Yining City. Has come to the central square. Early-Ning, all kinds of novelty. There is more intense than Urumqi exotic. Islamic-style architecture, "the girl the United States, small group commander of the ethnic minority people" ... ...
Early next morning, the Government has the car then we re-play on Sailimuhu and guozigou. Thereafter, China, Kazakhstan Horgos border crossings to visit. 312 State Road, where the termination, near the port all kinds of small commodities market. Russia eyes, knife, all kinds of minorities pendants, clothing and so on. "Start when the port opening, where a considerable prosperity, Wenzhou lot of people doing business here, and later a bunch of things, gradually fading down, as before a tear. One occurred in the early nineties Yining riots Many Wenzhou gave frightened away; second is a lot of fake and shoddy goods Wenzhou deceived a lot of the feelings of the people of Kazakhstan and money, many of their services which are bad duck feathers, and even many of the Health and maggots. "
From the Horgos back, we visited the ho's Huiyuan. Yili, Xinjiang has always been an important route leading to Central Asia has historically been built in many towns where a critical point of the border, the development of trade. Emperor Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty in the Ili region in order to strengthen the governance, where the set Ili General was built Huiyuan City, and they are being built around the benefits of their Ning, Sui determined Guang-Ren, Ning, Zhan Germany, Gong Chen, Xi, Tal Qi 8 satellite, known collectively as "Ili NINE." Are saved is better known as "Ili NINETOWNS" the benefits far the first city in China is time-at western military and political center of the Ili General House seat. General government is the former site of the city still preserved, its main entrance and the courtyard in the hall, winding path corridor, the generals still Relics kiosks. We endorse the Administration letter of introduction can be close to general government, here is a military compound. Huiyuan those grand old city center stands tall bell tower, Denglou distance, panoramic view of scenery both inside and outside the city. Calendar, the Liangji, Qi-yun Shi, Lin Tse-hsu, Deng Tingzhen, Xu Song, and other famous disgrace with disabilities who have left here in brilliant achievements. Lin Tse-hsu rate of China open water, solid borders, to benefit the people, by the Yili generals and the respect and trust of the people of all nationalities. Lin Tse-hsu in Huiyuan Although only two years, but their diaries, Poems, letters, bequeathing many.
Ho's Kekedala, it is estimated like "Caoyuanzhiye friends" are familiar with. This is a small town, when the famous composer Tian Ge was based here in human nature and customs, and wrote the Oriental Serenade - Caoyuanzhiye. Oh, since the trip to Xinjiang's Ili, after this song even became my repertoire, and every time Kara OK hall, will try; friends heard Niwai, and I was singing tire 100. Whenever sang this song, they remind me far away in miles of Ili, where the beauty and there times.
A long history and numerous cultural monuments left Ili, in addition to the representatives of the grassland culture - grassland Shiren, rock paintings, burial group, as well as Gordon Hill monument, and so on Zhaosu lamasery.
Qapqal Xibe Autonomous County of Yi-ning Qiongbo La Park to the third day we visited the Qapqal Xibe Autonomous County is located in the Joan La Senlin Park.
Xibe ancient tributary of the earliest living in the Nen River chaor River Tao children to engage in hunting, fishing, called the "fight, animal husbandry and village." The mid-18th century, 60 years, from Mukden (Shenyang) and other places westward to the Xibe this Qapqal to form into a Xibe camp, as the Qing government's border guards began Tunkenshubian life. Although they are primarily an agricultural economy, but still important role hunting and fishing; the Xibe today Qapqal about 18,000 people, is still hunting peoples retaining their custom. Qapqal of Xibe who love riding archery, in addition to military, sports factors, mainly horses and bow and arrow hunting tool. Male newborns, the elderly, small bows and arrows hanging on the door and wished him in the future to be good archers.
And we have made Joan La Senlin Park, also known as "Wusun mountains." About 3 century BC to the early Western Han Dynasty, the Cypriot kinds of people, Taiyue Shi and Wu-sun who has moved from the vicinity of the current Autonomous Prefecture in Gansu Corridor. Wusun people in the Ili valley to establish the well-known Wusun country. Wu-sun, one of the modern Kazakh Zuyuan. BC 119 years, Zhang Qian Wu-sun to reach the second mission to the Western Regions, Han Wu Tong-Hao, Han princess to marry thin-jun, and bereavement have Wusun Wang. Wusun later became a vassal state under the jurisdiction of the Han dynasty, one of the Western Regions Frontier Command. Ukraine's economic and cultural exchanges between the Han and close the Ili and the Mainland, Wusun "Pegasus" also entered the mainland.
The Wu-sun people have disappeared that year. There are only isolated Wusun prairie soil and grassland Shiren the tomb. Now Joan La Senlin Park is the result Wusun life center.
We can no longer drive has always been open to the opening height, where you can see Joan La Senlin almost all the beauty of the park. Smoke rising yurt valley, a distance of "Everest", near the alpine meadow of flowers everywhere ... ...
Dinner of the, clear lamb meat is tender, fragrant and not smell of mutton, thick but not greasy, and one ate half a catty also felt that enough, "they ate herbs, drink mineral water," "walk a bed of roses." We are eating, they entertain us, and that Kazakhs drink 46 masters degrees illit wine, talk and laugh, he has a bunch of "yellow scene joke." These stories really pull into the emotional exchange between us:)
Ili River that flows through the land, through joint efforts with the surrounding mountains in this fast unlike other parts of Xinjiang, "feng shui treasure land." The world-famous Valley Grassland "kunas Meadow" on the stretch in the Tianshan Mountains. Grassland, including the famous narat grassland, Tamboura grassland, Csaszi grasslands, Sciatta old course.
We are fortunate to experience in the narat grassland, Csaszi grasslands, where they would spend unforgettable days and nights. Most lines have blurred memories of Xinjiang, but only in the grasslands of the time but clearly in the head, and it is for this reason, it got busy writing a line of this piece of Xinjiang.
Narat Prairie is located in northern and southern Xinjiang Road traffic to the west, the county seat as well as a new source in Yining City, 312 State Road after the straight east along the old channel access road Cumberland station. In addition, the Trans-Tianshan Dushanzi ─ ─ Kuqa road is also connected via the narat grasslands. Narat grasslands in the world, one of the four major sub-alpine meadow steppe vegetation zone, since ancient times is the famous ranch, with flat river valleys, high and steep peaks, deep gorges horizon, lush forests, grasslands stretch off each other, and with the local Kazakh folk customs together.
Narat in Mongolian is the meaning of the sun. "Narat, narat ........." when the Mongols crossed the cold snow-capped mountains, going through chilling to see the sun nice and warm ... ... ....
We live in Xinyuan County, Yining felt the hundred miles away from the distance. From a new source of county go there Lati grassland along the way Fortunately, scenery along the way eyeful; distant jagged, deep touch of grassland stretching ... ... ... "narat grasslands, where there is a hundred times than that on the beautiful scenery . "
We settled yurt on the grassland, we can not wait to stroll around.
Here is not very open grassland surrounded by mountains around; but a lush trees, where can we truly appreciate the "wind-swept pastures are cattle and sheep" scenes. Unfortunately, there is no in-depth Prairie deep.
Eat at night, and elsewhere. Good variety of delicious wines: We have a few colleagues after several days of smoked lamb, white wine has to cope with their filled with foam. While I still taste good, back home, even a short period of time less than a month, although Bashansheshui, but the entity still increases 5 kg. People drink on the grassland is fierce, they have a unique, sufficient to deal with the way you do not drink (as long as you drink the first port, you can never expect to drink the second mouth music). One of them is the whole Jiuzhuo all public two iron glass; owner was full of filling the two glasses, "to see what it unacceptable," was on the cup to the hands in front of you, he wants to do you do!
Each drink illit, the first port is hard to swallow. But with the atmosphere to heat up, his mouth mouth anesthesia, even as the river will be exactly the same as a large glass of drink! Really scared.
Finally after dinner, which lasted two and a half hours. The owner also took us into the yurt. Gangchu tiger's den, but also into the wolf den. Grasslands, has started cold, but the yurts are heartwarming. Inside, which already has several Uighurs. They are the Xinjiang Autonomous Region was introduced to the building of a deputy director of the Office and the Hami region, a vice mayor, their respective wives and children to bring their own to narat grassland sightseeing come.
It was also very cramped start. Not many words, and later opened their yurt, but also come in two Kazakh girls. They are carrying his tea with milk and sour mare's milk recently, there Nang. "And then Hujiu.!" The new source of county construction bureau, said the Secretary.
MY GOD! Appears to have died of my life.
Acid grasslands horse breast is proud of the people drink. Sour mare's milk after fermentation, has become somewhat rancid rancid taste. Just started drinking, it frowning. To savor a big bowl on the thousand and do. "It's sour horse breast but three bowls will be able to make people drunk A ~ ... ... grassland mainly meat-eating, drinking horse breast and helping digestion.". And horse breast an addictive hobby, and do not know whether the wine after drinking burning thirst of the reason, I have several series of co-acid bowl horse breast. They were all very surprised, "Yi ~ that you should drink so addictive, we are not accustomed to drinking the local people there are many of."
Drink on the side, while He Naicha, while singing, while listening to fun stories of river, get to know some of the history of Xinjiang is already 2:00 am ..., and we lasted for nearly six and a half hours of liquor war, estimates of the day I went so far as drank a half kilogram of 46-degree wine. Imagine really scared in case of alcoholism, in that the former Buzhuo the village shop after Buzhao dark grassland, I can only die.
Fortunately, we drink the drink directly inside the disorder of sleep in the yurt, and all drinking at all, the owner and guests all the drinking. Middle of the night together, cautiously through the disorder of people lying in yurts, go outside to find water, thirst, grasslands night really cool, and occasionally a little light in the dark of night, distributed in the grasslands, to hear only the river water between the sound of "beautiful Multi-quiet ...."。 grassland Perhaps the cold out, and go back to yurt not far from the way the wine spit, and back to yurt to sleep inside.
Tamboura Nilka County, Kashi is a river valley grassland landscapes collectively, named after the county 91 kilometers southeast of the east Dushanzi ─ Kuqa road in Qiao Erma 0 kilometers of a major penalty Tamboura named Canyon, is a by forests, grasslands, rapids, rocks combination of natural landscape area. Because of its east ridge on the valley there are gigantic pieces of rock, like the imperial jade seal seal, hence the name Tamboura (Kazakh means seal) the famous film "Tianshan red flower" has been filming at this location ever since known. Tamboura said to have 113 trenches, 113 King, Kazakhstan Aken (private poet) can be an impromptu singing of the wonders of each valley.
Sciatta tourist area. Zhaosu County of Sciatta is a tourist destination full of amazing colors. Here the brink of many of the numerous peaks of the Tianshan Mountains across the southern and northern parts of the main vein, from the mountainous crash out of a gash Sciatta river flat grassland, import Enpa Haomiao Turks River. Sciatta canyon to the river by pass the trail, ancient sites, folklore and the natural landscape composed of an ancient culture, scenic routes. Sciatta is a Mongolian "The Sand Man tua," the sound transmission for the "ladder" of the meaning of the ancient Ili to Aksu traffic Inn, now the seat of government Sciatta Kirgiz ethnic townships. Zhaosu County city from the southwest over 70 kilometers went to this place, during which must first be formed by the Sciatta River alluvial plain above the distribution of grassland Shiren, large-scale Wusun Sciatta ancient tombs and ruins. Sciatta Canyon, also known as Tang Seng Road, the Silk Road's most dangerous crossing. It crossed the main ridge of wood Tianshan Zhar thatta Osaka. More than 30 kilometers away from the Gap is quite well known in Sciatta Ili spa. The surroundings here are quiet, has built a spa, high and low temperature are different (42 ─ 64), with good results. Su Sciatta Canyon 20 km further upstream, misty wood Zha Erte (ancient Turkic language, which means ice Daban) peaks lie in front of it is said that this is the Tang Dynasty, the famous "bow on Road" must be passed through ice Daban Pass, Tang Xuan Zang westbound climb the "Ling Mountain," then the Silk Road connecting northern and southern Xinjiang Tianshan Road, the most important pore - ─ Sciatta Trail lies. Canyon prevalent along the stone steps, the Department of Trail remains significant.
Ning on the way from the new source of memories, and the peer to negotiate several times, and finally obtain his consent, to the legendary charm of the Prairie "Csaszi Prairie" and "Kuerdening Napian." Tourism and bad mood of women and men like women to travel with really bad mood.
We start with a new source by bus to reach Gongliu County, and then there Gongliu lived for a night hotel.
The next day morning, we pack a taxi, heading for Kuerdening grassland.
Along the way we turn the Bay, over a number of Joe, looked at the oasis in the desert, along the way saw a small bazaar. Begun to enter the Kuerdening grasslands. A sudden cold weather, up a short while on the outside, it began to rain, hearts sank, can be repeated again the unfortunate experience of Tianchi!
God Zhang eyes, and pity those of us who first came to Csaszi the bar guests from afar.
Cars move ahead, and walked out of a waterfall, and we looked at the rain, where the "2 Diego Falls." A moment to quickly get on the train, and the rain too.
Highway began a very intense radio waves up a lot of gravel on the road. "Today we just could not get the big deep Kuerdening grasslands, and a taxi would be stranded site, if it is off-road vehicles can take you to the grasslands where no one there to see the vast expanse of grasslands and snow-capped mountains of." Fendt!
Fortunately, it seems that our pious touched God. Heavy rain actually stopped, and the distant valley began to Piaoqi blossoming white clouds ... ... we are jumping with excitement car, took a few pictures. "Economizing with photos ah, which scenery and more things ah" master with a smile reminds us. "I tried to look inside open, able to open far on the open far ah!"
Way more and more bumps, more narrow, both sides of the mountains have become more sophisticated, "We also just out of the foot of the Tian Shan, which very deep." Can often be seen jumping, but after a few squirrels, then agility. We saw a number of a clusters of berries like strawberries, driving instructors said, "I am going to give you something to eat adopted, we would rather have special brew with this fruit drink", the original fruit juice that we drink is brewed with this A . Jumped out of cars, and drivers with the adopted master a lot of ... ..., the car can no longer open do not, we had to go back. After a rather rushed outside Napian the open prairie.
In the grassland on and off, they begin to move forward; grassland jagged, roaring the Tianshan snow passing away, and the Ili River in the far exchange. Is estimated that there are half an hour away, and we stop. The distance to the horse's two Kazakh herders, their real horse people. To catch a flock of sheep before the trip, that old saw us, jumped do, with very fluent Mandarin, said, "want to do horse riding." Overjoyed, but also can be enjoyable, and can this horse do not run, at most, is a walk, he watched its old herdsman, it seems very reluctant Tuozhuo I.
The old herdsman, said holding my hand a lot of things I only heard it clear that "the Han brothers and good!", See that we face is blank, he has come up with a pregnant black inside the handkerchief holding of a thing, open the handkerchief there is also a layer of packaging, what precious things, the money? Is hands with us for money? The results prove that my ideas stink of money, which collection is, surprisingly, proof of his participation in the PLA. ".... I had to stay with the current year and the Chairman Mao's shadow, ... ..., and now my family raised a lot of yang, horses, life is much better than before!," Looked at his proud words and deep feelings, I was deeply touched.
Reluctantly had to leave the Csaszi. In the way back, we have a very good save after a wild apple forest. "We are here to guozigou not many of the wild forest, and were cut down, but here are some of the survivors," knot full of wild apple trees, some of the branches are bending. Move on, in a valley beneath the edge of the clear green water, the driver told us that in front of wild apricot, stay would lead us to adopt something to eat.
Wild apricot tree on the roadside, full of a few trees. "But no one had picked, is it the roadside citrus, bitter?." Taken a number of with care, placed in the mouth a little tear come wonderfully sweet!
From Yining in the Ili Ili saw a number of magnificent sunset, we finally left. In the farewell dinner, I cast of singing voice, in order to respect my beautiful girl, a wine "in that distant place", and from the work of government agencies Anhui Sister, chorus of "husband and wife both around the house also," " Caoyuanzhiye. "
"See you so passionate, you leave it, where roots, flower and bear fruit; we had a few back to Nanjing," They tease me. Do not really want to go. 23:00, boarded the plane from Yining to Urumqi, left South beyond the Great Wall across the Tianshan away.
