September 10, the first day, Guangzhou - Urumqi
Cherish a kind of mood to flee, in the 22:45 pm companions and I boarded the plane from Guangzhou to Urumqi, nearly five-hour flight for me, also quite tired, I can not sleep, sitting bad mood can not be said excitement, only a desire to want to hurry to reach Urumqi.
September 11, the next day, Urumqi - Palette Town
2:00 more than God, and finally hear the air broadcasting, "Our aircraft will arrive in 30 minutes after the airport in Urumqi, the surface temperature ... ..." finally arrives! Heart began to have a kind of excitement, my travel should start here, good morning! Xinjiang! (Which may be can only say good night here, after all, nearly two-hour time difference)
Kunlun Hotel to reach accommodation sleep five or six hours, we come to an amateur team leader Agan (just a temporary thing, then people like us from Guangzhou, but also count my friend's friend). I saw the door of the hotel of our trip sitting drive, a Nissan's off-road vehicles and a Grand Cherokee, a little knowledge of the car did not I, can be considered for the first time it has done with intimate contact, but in fact I was also directed at it (self-driving travel) before participating in this tour of Xinjiang.
In addition to meeting with the car outside, I have also met other members of this trip, four middle-aged man from Shenzhen to see if their tone Man You meters, (which there are m such a poor wretch discord with our I originally did not expect that travel only in the later have a deep feeling) can be considered a friend of another friend, Ah Chung, a very housewife-type men, but in the later trip, he was compared to other people speaking, let us see the benefits of housewife.
In fact, starting at the beginning, when I give them a companion a reminder, we can take care of themselves, because, after all, a group of people who do not know traveling together, the process we can only relative to the point, in my very own to take care of travel has never been their own and do not like to do in the cities into the trip hesitant, for my companion can be considered playing the shots bar.
At noon, we finally driving the car out of Urumqi, to a place called Palette Town embarked on a.
All the way Mercedes-Benz, in addition to the Gobi Desert on both sides, there is a very blue sky. Gobi word I do not know if I have wrong, only to see both sides of the road is already turning yellow grass, occasionally there are some dwarf shrubs, ground floor is clay, yellow sand and would like to see the summer pastures, do not know if there are Many small wild flowers? (The last came here early in May, just summer and saw the grasslands are also same as now).
Our off-road vehicles to the city without a road leading to colorful way, why did not the road called the Road, the original path of the vehicle which is not too much, then we can only look at the car in front of cars traveled rut groping to find Road, this road for our car, and sitting may do a test, full of stones, as well as washboard road (I know, but for the first time washboard road, why is it called this name? imagine what the past people used to wash The washboard clothes will know) that I do not know the way forward the process of finding the way the result is to make our car strayed into the "wrong track", reached a pre-trackless valley, riding on the driver the opportunity to see the terrain we climbed up the roadside The hills, nice scenery, far from the one like a desert cliff in Yardang Landform, a small shrub look boundless desert. Ditouyikan, wow! There are many beautiful desert stone, this discovery gives us a moment forget the plight of getting lost, have started the Gobi, "Operation Treasure Hunt," Is there really a beautiful stone, red, black, blue, yellow, stone texture is also very good, shiny Youliang Liang, and no sanding is very smooth, although I'm just a layman, but for the stone is actually very like. Take two or three small hills, in the dazzling color in pick up a few small stones, it is accept defeat left this "gem of the land."
To continue our journey, when you see the street a very simple point-license, we know that moment has finally lost the driver took us into today's destination - Palette Town. To meet us is distant several multicolored hills, nowhere to be seen, there is a layer of mist shrouded, probably under the sun light and shadow bar.
Car into the "city", and I see the true face of the colorful city, is dozens of different colors with high soil was short, a small hill, we were here when the bar is 17 o'clock, the sun Masamori forward. Begin immediately accompanied by photographers to capture their actions, the city boarded up the bare hills surrounded list, all with red, brown, green hills, in the sun to bring out a different shadow, they are still waiting for the best sunlight sprinkled on this city, it appears colorful character, but I'm just turning laps in the city, slowly climbed a hill to see this city of color, there is a very cool desert breeze and comfort, while there is a hint of chill, but also, the sun has been unwittingly to the west in our sink in, and I appreciate the quiet sunset on the desert can only be beautiful, there are many clouds, there are golden afterglow ... ... (in my most memorable trip than I have seen every sunset and every one look at the stars at night)
Some comfort, we left the colorful city, to our accommodation - forest fires start, why is called "Fire Mountain", strange name, will not, and Turpan's "Flaming Mountains" What is the source of it? Heard that it is an oil field, where it was later said because of the hills near the former underground coal self-ignition due to the red-hot in the hills are named, and do not know the way we see the colorful stone is not because of the colorful burnt it?
