Today, October 19, after breakfast, we proceed to the Tianshan Tianchi time 10:00. As the Tianshan Tianchi in the Kazak ghettos, therefore, Miss Lau has given us along the way introduced the Kazakh ethnic customs. Kazakhstan is a nomadic tribe has maintained a relatively complete nomads of the characteristics and habits. Kazakh tribe have a very well-known customs, is the "girl chase." Prairie girl chasing young men and women falling in love is a way. If the grasslands who get married at home, we should invite all the people throughout the grasslands to attend the wedding. The wedding of this household, is responsible for selecting a flat and spacious space for unmarried men and women held a "girl chase." Since Kazakhstan is a nomadic tribe in peacetime, everyone grassland grazing, rarely have the opportunity to meet. Therefore, the young man should take advantage of this opportunity to pick their own loved one. "Girl chasing," is divided into a trip and return. Way to go when the boys are generally quiet individual invitation of the girl looking at a distance to go, girls usually can not be denied. Boy at this time you can take bold steps to make the girl reveal feelings, no matter that everything could be. Once to the return, the girl must waving whips boy. If, during a trip, the girl has a good impression on the young man made, then the girl at this time are generally high lift gently down, do not really fight. If girls do not like this guy, but also to the process when the boy saying too thin, that girl would be at worst a real fight. In addition to Baotoushucuan guy this time, there is no any other way. He must ensure that not to be knocked his hat, because there is a local saying that if the hat was knocked the young man, in the future there will be no longer the girl is willing to marry him.
Guide also describes the ethnic Kazakh customs detain a guest. Because it is nomadic Kazakh family, usually rare in the grasslands encountered a person. Therefore, once a distant visitor, will be warm treatment. They will detain a guest for dinner. Stay in rice, the first pull a sheep out in the yurt walked. At this time, guests can not skimp on its own 10 million words of praise, to boast that the family would be grazing, the sheep raising was so fat. The guest then it should understand that when the owner to pull the sheep to move around outside the yurt, it means the owner must zaiyang hospitality, and it is to tell the guests, guests of the sheep is slaughtered on the spot, not to eat the rest of their own The. Generally a good owner would slaughter the sheep-like food made of four, that is Shouzhua lamb, hand pilaf, kebabs, and Sheep Soup. Used after the meal, the owner will not let customers go. Because, according to the custom of the tribe and Kazakhstan, if someone's guests to leave before the sun, then the right is a great shame for the owner. Therefore, the owner will be staying. In accordance with Kazakh ethnic customs, guests live-in position, that is, the edge of their daughter. But in between the two shops will add a red line. The next morning, if the red line too passive, or what other guests misconduct. Then only the whole village waiting for his whip.
Along the way we listened to the guide describes these Kazakh ethnic customs, while listening to folk music of Xinjiang. Outside the car, one side is a Gobi desert, while the other side of the film is as windbreaks. In the windbreak, the there is a stream of dry riverbed. Into the late autumn, the number of rivers in Xinjiang, are drying up dry.
At the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, we have seen large areas of spruce forest. Hill is also the trees into pieces. Today's weather, but temperatures rose slightly over the previous few days. However, at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains is still able to feel the slightest coolness. We are a pedestrian wore a heavy winter clothes. We first home, a Kazakh tribe contacted the lunch, the selection of a sheep, they are slaughtered on the spot. Perhaps the first time I saw a sheep killed, we can not accept a little bit short. Many people do not see. Kazakhstan's ethnic Chi Yang is not eat the skin. Moreover, according to Islamic religious rules, can not drink the blood of any animal. Therefore, the Kazakh tribe zaiyang very unique. First they take blood of all let go, and then after the sheep pull a small hole in the legs. From that one little mouth puts inside inflatable yard, until the sheep blown a small balloon, so that you can direct skinning the. We are also yurts drinking milk tea, break the rest and then resumed.
Scenic ride from the foot of the mountain range of the car mountain, half-way to see the West Xiaotianchi is said to be Queen Mother used feet. Last paragraph of the mountain is to go their own path. Along the way you can see the snow on the cliff. Everyone's mood suddenly been mobilized, and assumed a variety of poses to himself and snow remained in the film. Finally came to the edge of Tianchi.
Tianchi indeed well-deserved reputation. An area of 4.9 square kilometers of fresh water is made of glacial erosion plane. Lake Qinglie, from the formation of the Tianshan snow melt, even in the summer, can not swim. We stood beside Tianchi, watching the blue sky, white clouds, clear lake, distant mountains there is snow is not technology, but the mountain air is so fresh, just like a big oxygen bar. It felt really relaxed and happy. We began the week around the lake, due to Tianchi little detour that we only spent a week more than 1 hours. Along the way, we followed the guide, with the mountain-down, unknowingly came to the East side of the pool of small days. East, also known as Black Dragon Pool Xiaotianchi. And here the most attractive for us is the source of the East Xiaotianchi, known as the hanging spring, a waterfall cascades. Tour guide said that we were lucky, because a few days ago has just been to the snow, these days they air temperatures rise, the snow melted, so that the already drying up of the waterfall again restored to life. Moreover, the amount of water bigger than the summer. We walk down along the mountain. All the way to listen to the cheerful voice of streams, watching the water flow in the mountain streams jumping to move forward. Side of the stream of snow caused by the large trees blocking the view, according to less than the sun, has not been based. We are competing this rare snow scene photographed under the waterfall.
Down, when, after two and a half hours of activities, we all felt hungry. Back up the mountain to contact in what the Kazakh ethnic home, they have already tasty meals are ready. Yurts have raised the stove, warm. First of all came, is the hand pilaf. Hand is used lamb pilaf, carrots and rice with fried sing. Glowing red color is very nice, but also very tasty. Only those of us who are all to no avail, and not with clutch. Locals are using three fingers wrapped rice delivered to the mouth when the local, we can only use a tsp. Followed by lamb clutch. 手抓Mutton is to lamb on the inside of water boiled with salt, and came, was also put before the onions, the fragrance is pressing. Followed by the famous kebabs of. Dish is the most popular, how to eliminate the number up. Finally, Sheep Soup, Sheep Soup li put some salt in addition, other condiments are not, but it still felt very delicious. This is where the sheep are grazing on. Where there is no pollution, so there is a local saying goes, where the sheep are "walking the golden path, drink mineral water, eat Chinese herbal medicine," there is no smell of mutton lamb angry. However, the meal was a little episode. A colleague's toes have been broken on the ground blizzard puncture, which is this time we went out for the first time to pay the blood price. Kazakhstan is a family-hearted people, liked to drink large bowl to eat meat. We also do as the Romans wanted to emulate their look. Large piece of meat and the problem is not big, but the bowl to drink, for those of us who come from south a bit best it could. We can only learn of their appearance, take bowl pouring, but when the drink is still only a small mouth slowly suck. However, dry mouth, or features a move, it seems the number of drinking the same wine. Finally get rid of two half kilogram total of only 43 ° of "Yili Wang." Chibaohezu, everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves down the mountain.
In the way down the mountain to see both sides of the mountains there are many sheep are feeding, and the sky clouds are linked together, do not look very carefully, confusion as to which is the sheep, which are clouds.
We are back to Urumqi, visited the Tianshan Woolen Textile Urumqi. The plant mainly produces cashmere products, products are mainly for export. However, as the cashmere goat is out of the body, while the goats like to eat grass on the prairie a great destructive power. Therefore, we still did not buy anything.
Come out from the woolen mill, we went to Red Mountain Park. Here is the Urumqi commanding height, overlooking the city. Plastic mountain with "open its eyes and see the world the first person to" Lin's statue. Showing concern for the fate of the Meiyu Jian locking his anxiety. I recall when he was due to the fight against the British imperialist aggression, which were issued with to Xinjiang. Today, our country is experiencing centuries of peace and prosperity, our hearts proud of this achievement.
The Hongshan Park, we also unexpectedly found a Buddhist temple. Here the Islamic world, why there could be a Buddhist temple, aroused our interest. Buddhist temples were small and also very few pilgrims. We are a pedestrian is almost all of the tourists. Temple called the Great Buddha Temple, style and the Mainland are slightly different. We do not see here, often yellow temples, all with red, Buddha also has a style of Western Regions. Tour guide said 13 centuries ago, the entire Western Regions are Buddhist. 13 centuries later, after several centuries of political changes and war, and eventually established Islam in here, the absolute dominance.
Come out from the Hongshan Park, we visited the city of Urumqi. Per capita income is not high in this city, we found that spending power here is staggering. Not only row upon row of brand-name stores, but also to customers door.
Night we went to have a strong chain of restaurant-style homes Uygur Er dinner. We are dumbfounded to see the menu, and do not know the above is what dim sum in the end things will only pick a few samples we can guess eating. We point the Nang packages of meat. Came, with a big, but also less meat, more Nang. Nang eliminate a few of us put money on sheer incompetence, but it is beyond their grasp of the pile of meat. It seems people here really, things can really give enough weight to the absolute control.
