Augustine Man's hometown (1) - leave
Andreactrip
Prepared for four years, playing a semester's work, and finally hit the road.
Though four years off and read some books about Xinjiang, were magically transported back numerous times, almost everyone around me has become the object of universal education in Xinjiang. However, to really set foot on the land, or we must be cautious, so from the beginning in April on a mad search on Ctrip almost all the relevant information in Xinjiang, print a number of zz from sina and precautions, but also draw up a schedule of fees.
Had wanted a person to Xinjiang. I am a very selfish person who does not like to share with others, I have everything, including my understanding of Xinjiang, unless that person I really care about. However, his family pleaded for safety first, and I have never had so far far from home. Consider also, he looked for a Japanese girl, a boy the same school, everyone hit the road together.
I like the "4", although in the Chinese language with a "dead" homophonic. I do not know what year in a book of this constellation to see, four is my lucky number, and in many met four occasions, I did do something more cis, so the future of the four seen on a special pleasure to the eye. Majors in English coupled with regular contact with the English, the English four pronounced "for", then four, there has been "contribution" of meaning, which the more determined I was four beliefs. Moreover, man himself must die, is not it?
The reason why the 4, below, in order to elicit a new companions, the three men's travel is unbalanced, our portfolio was first set up seems to be a declaration of a person to be added to the stability of this small group. To my "4", I accepted.
Hurried departure, despite previously done a lot of preparation, but the occasion of his departure, it still felt hasty. The control of the essential goods list of Tour Xinjiang, seems appropriate, and dragging luggage, and thus Yiyihuohuo the ground the road.
4 bowl occupies most of the food package. (My luggage is divided into four parts: one, food parcels, by definition, is used to put dry food and snacks on the bus the day at noon, I went to the supermarket to buy more than one hundred dollars of food, Hunger breeds discontent; 2 , clothing bag, is a large travel bag, put my clothes and other essential materials sporadic, such as clothesline, lightweight raincoat, hair dryer, etc.; 3, black backpack, put their belongings and cameras; 4, a small package , put my beloved MD, and money.) Facts have proved that I made a big mistake, because in those days, all day on the train I would not, and the remaining bowl a lot of space, in the run when the northern I also installed carrying a big bowl of food bags! Food bag and my other one mistake - in Burqin Nang bought two big, but also big and heavy, while the later have the chance to buy food, it was only in Yining, open the bag a look, mildew, and Japan girls Nang is that we are Xiangshiyixiao, relieved with the two long-hair guy thrown in the trash.
The first one on the train is difficult to sleep at night, very hot, wearing jeans on the bed repeatedly. I hated his life experience in a public place, "neighbor," but unfortunately, it seems like a very high probability. The two people in the lower berth opposite the empty bed, not sleeping, sitting in the corridor seat drink and chat, I am almost crazy!
Fortunately, the next day to the Shaanxi Baoji after time, the students two cousin brought us watermelons rolling skinned and Rou Gamo. In the BORING get such a delicious journey of food is really a happy thing, unfortunately Fenpi too hot!
Train quickly finished the "only belt, there is no backbone rod" Shaanxi railway came to Gansu Province. If the Loess Plateau in Shaanxi can use a "flat" to describe the words (said to Shaanxi people on the original if you want to build a house, just to a little pressure with the roller to look on the line, and we can see the extent of its formation), then you can Gansu referred to as "spectacular." A train traveling west along the Weihe River, the Weihe River has been largely dried up river bed, you can see the loess river, only a portion of a river you can see shallow Gulf water. After the third day morning, 7:25 am Jiayuguan station after the scenery suddenly changes, and eyeful of yellow, even the air is filled with dust, few could see the pure, or large tracts of green, the little green on the ground only sporadically dotted The grass and low shrubs. Train continues to the west, and occasionally appears a green rapidly retreated back - it is a windbreak. Windbreak is a small oasis of inter-planting with a small amount of crops. After a time when depression was surprised to see the black-faced sheep, the train drove up, they do not the slightest panic, perhaps used to seeing this guy do tin, which raised his head and watched indifferently, still go its own way to munching grass .
Residents living along the railway line is "Wong Nai hut" (forgive me for theft Zhang Chengzhi's novel name), each appear to have a small courtyard, the house was short, flat roof, the house near the planted crops. Now is the harvest season, the golden wheat silhouetted against the dull yellow of land, although I have always liked red and yellow colors such as joy, but the yellow does not make me such a boost. Gansu Province, not a big dream of, yet we've got almost a whole day, it is shaped like lie down in Shaanxi, the railway line from east to west through the entire provinces.
13:00 Multi-we have finally entered the territory of Xinjiang. The junction of Xinjiang and Gansu, and there is no great difference, not to imagine the kind of strong features in the landscape, so geographic knowledge alone can not distinguish between the boundaries of two provinces, to remind us that the mobile short message - "Welcome to You enter the territory of Xinjiang, ... .... " In addition to say, or China Mobile Xinjiang Mobile's coverage, signal is good, then accompanied the girl together with the China Unicom, SIM card, almost the whole trip, tour chiang's can not be used. In some very remote corners of Xinjiang, China Mobile ads are doing is in place, but unfortunately it did forget the words of these ads recorded.
After a Hami, Shanshan passed, over the Turpan, along the way we are chasing the sun, even at 21 o'clock, the sky is still blue in Xinjiang, it's still sunny, like the mouth (Xinjiang called off within) two to three points the afternoon bell. Gradually, the big chunks of green pavement from, and its famous windmill power station from the train a large Trefoil on the right flash, Urumqi near. "Urumqi is surrounded by grasslands, covered with cattle and sheep," thought graduate students to imitate Peisi evening performances, can not help but smile. Indeed, lush grass near Urumqi, however, cattle and sheep flocks, the distant snow-capped mountains looming, trains at the moment is also the occasion to have sounded the Nagqu well known, "Ji Erla."
Has finally arrived, got out and saw a small tower of the students come to them to stay. The good comrades burst out laughing eyes, or so flowers, a mustache, or a curling Alice.
More than 50 hours off the long journey to this moment seems to have become short-lived. In my personal opinion, or a train to Xinjiang as well, to a cost-effective - who do not want to save money, especially for us this time more than money, the poor children; 2 to lay a solid foundation for the tour-chiang, to know Xinjiang the distance between the two sites are very remote, sitting 78 hours of long-distance bus like a play like.
Gossip and live.
Xinjiang, I came.
