Lie the central Tianshan Mountains, the area south of the Tianshan Mountains in southern Xinjiang, north of the northern region. If we say that in southern Xinjiang is full of mysterious and legendary "Western Uncharted", then the northern Zeyi magical, magnificent, rugged natural beauty and famous for the net. This summer, I was fortunate to go to northern three-day adventure, and inspections.
1, through the Gobi desert wasteland across the large
Our "expedition" line 9, respectively, from the motherland, northern, central, south, is a combination of affinity for free. We package the one air-conditioned car, the first day ready to cross the Altai Mountains is located between the Tianshan and the Junggar Basin.
9 o'clock in the morning, we supply thereafter, water, vegetables (mainly cucumbers, tomatoes), fruit and Xinjiang unique roasted Nang, full of aspirations sentiments, began in northern Xinjiang trip. We are starting from Urumqi, in the beautiful oasis on the road, where terraced rice paddies linked to tree-lined, full of vigor and vitality, if not distant barren hills and slopes of the foil, you might think to the south of the. But did not last long, about 1 hour later, an oasis in the field of vision suddenly disappeared, and the vast, arid Gobi Desert and India into the eyes. Gobi and oasis for the neighborhood, in contrast, a strong contrast gives us a moment to respond, however. The driver met with a smile, said, you do not look at the Gobi Desert, today you see enough of!
Gobi Desert, the "Sichuan rubble as big as a bucket", "Pincha Wanli no smoke." "Gobi" is Mongolian, meaning "the land difficult to vegetation health." Here is replete with grit, gravel, sand radiate as gray or black, makes it especially poor, was overshadowed. Occasionally there is a bunches of Haloxylon, camel grass and other drought-resistant vegetation is sparse and decorations, we were able to inject a little barren Gobi Desert breath of life. A look endless Gobi Desert, in the distant horizon at constant spreading, extension. Because we were the first time I saw the Gobi Desert, despite the bleak, monotonous, but we are still enthusiastic.
Approximately after noon, the Gobi Desert slowly disappear gradually lying low, the car entered in the central part of Junggar Basin, China's second largest desert ------ gurban Tongut Desert. The Gobi Desert and the landscape is different from the whole surface covered with uniform, fine yellow sand, as if they are rinsed off, extraordinarily pure, shining in the sun, under glittering. They are light, gentle, or the wind flowing fly, or the mercy of the wind, piled into the desert depicting a beautiful painting patterns. Some like the bow of drinking water a camel, and some bent like a coil prostrate dragon, and some like gigantic honeycomb ... .... Sometimes, Kazamaki sand, rotation changes, as if the blue smoke curl straight up to show a "Smoke in the desert straight," the magnificent picture; sometimes cyclone blowing sand, the sharp rise in the air to expand, spread out, suddenly to the ground extended funnel, fast drift, like a "a tornado."
Strange desert landscape, no doubt give us into the "doping" in our eyes, the desert is beautiful, is exciting, is really fascinated of. We can not wait underground the car, bang, climbed the sand dunes. Standing on top of sand dunes, Jimuyuantiao, Mans Mans Sand Sea, an oasis, and we can not help but be filled with emotion, here was once a sea, was once a mulberry, is magnificent crust changes only to make the Junggar become today's appearance.
Have thoroughly enjoyed themselves, we are presented along the ridge-like sand dunes Kong continue their journeys. Because there are gaps in the western Junggar Basin, is conducive to the more humid western invasion of the Atlantic Ocean, water vapor, therefore, a variety of desert plants grow well here. We often see a bold clumps of Tamarix rooted in the sand dunes, like a majestic one soldier, effectively blocking the flow of the sand dunes. Our car in the dune valleys, winding walk through, like a leaf boat to sail in the ocean ups and downs. At this time, the driver tells us that more than 10 hours before we come out of the desert, the desert there is no gas station, in order to save fuel, not air conditioning had. This means that the real and dangerous problems coming up.
Sure enough, soon, in the car like a big oven, and outside the heat of the sun, we were inside and outside of double-baking was "steaming", as if washing sauna. We have to open the window from the rear of the sky yellow sand flying without qualms, Pu Jin, the drilling can drill all the places, and gave us of a thoroughly "sand bath", washed our sweating, Man the body is sand, sand hair "dyed" too yellow, just like just like the oil curium, looked very "avant-garde." Beads of sweat on his arm stuck in the sand, the sparkling, hand a捋, it fell a layer of sand. Our food --- Nang cake is also coated with a thin layer of sand, and because the desert is extremely dry weather, Nang cake is no longer soft, but instead of an iron. But we are hungry, but also refused to take, and Paidiao sand, on the water, struggling to nibble again. At this point, we are most worried about is the car breaks down. We brought water, food has only enough to adhere to a few hours, and if car broke down, the former Buzhuo Village, after Buzhuo stores, with unpredictable consequences. On this hot, dry, sand, fear of suffering, we have excited not up, replaced by silent prayers. At this time, we really feel the desolation of the desert, merciless and cruel side of our predecessors experienced the kind of hard to conquer the desert and courage.
Drivers who seem to see that our thoughts, too secure in the car opened. One hand, he consoled us on the one hand continually inspire our "excitement," said the approaching "Fire Mountain" has. We renewed vigor, in an oasis in the Sand Sea, a careful search for the "Fire Mountain" in sight. Sure enough, in the desert, there have been several strange lonely hills, the hills and the ground was bright rich red, with strong exposure to the sun, the clouds wind around, looking like clouds of flames in the combustion. "Fire Mountain" is really worthy of the name, which although not, and Turpan's "Flaming Mountains" tall and vigorous, but is also a "Fire Dragon mountain condensate is not opened, the birds a thousand miles can not come."
Good-bye "Fire Mountain", we move on, some in the evening around 9 o'clock, (Xinjiang and Beijing have 2-hour time difference, the summer of Xinjiang, the sun to go downhill until about 10 pm.) Terrain has been steadily climbing, we finally out of the desert hinterland, but also saw the Gobi desert. At this point, sunset, sunset shine, Gobi Desert, now sets demonstrated a "long river down the yen," a magnificent picture.
Golden piles on the Gobi Desert, we are pleasantly surprised to find a continuous stretch, dense lush forest belt. We suspect there must have water, "Water is the source of life," where there is water, there is life, there is the woods. We read the map of an investigation, originally originated in the southern foot of the Altai ulungur. We let the driver Yanzhao He opened, so that we can heartily enjoy it. Ulungur clear, quiet, Meaningful, beautiful, like a beautiful girl, in the soft-spoken, described her feelings in the desert. Wulungu Lake river flows quietly, unknowingly brings us to the confluence of it - Wulungu Lake (Buluntuohai). Wulungu Lake is the largest inland lake in northern Xinjiang, the "Pearl of the Junggar," in the world. Here, the vastness, Shuitianyise, clean the mirror, and some lakeshore reed ridden, wind po fondle dance; some lakeshore shadi winds, soft sand with one of dignity and character of the sea. No wonder the locals refer to as "Fuhai" the. In this extremely arid desert, there is such a sea-like waters of nirvana, it is incomprehensible. Now "Fu-hai" is not only an important fishery base in northern Xinjiang, and has been turned into a famous bathing beach in Xinjiang. Unfortunately, we do not have time to "Fu-hai" tour, and the sky fades, we hurried the road.
Just left the "Fu-hai," we have met has been praised as "Silver Water" Irtysh, which is the only one large river flows to the Arctic Ocean. It is water potential and solidarity, in the riverbed gravel overlap, surging rapids, river valleys on both sides of secondary forest have never been stopped, just like the green streamers, set in the Gobi desert.
Looked at this "desert rivers and lakes," the magnificent scene, we can no longer contain himself, and have come to the river, take pictures, leisure, did not expect it to scare away the little life here. Here trees, bushy, lush vegetation, is a paradise for mosquitoes. For those of us coming all the way to uninvited guests, they are relentless, in a few seconds then organized a "one million troops," a dark mass to attack us, attack. They are really powerful, the individual large, will hover to suck in the human body, can shoot did not go, and some can bite across the clothes. We hasten to take Fengyoujing painted his body, but to no avail, where mosquitoes are not afraid, they are not mistaken according to bite. No way, the insights gained away as fast as the best way, we had to evacuate, and some mosquitoes also catch up with the car, and we hastened to allow drivers to drive "escape", to run very far, be considered out of the entanglement of mosquitoes. Nearly 23 o'clock, we finally crossed the Junggar Basin, smooth arrived at the accommodation - burqin City.
Second, drift deep forests Kanas Lake
Kanas Lake is located in the largest tributary of the Irtysh water source of the river Burqin ------ Kanas River, the middle of an Arctic Ocean water. Starting from Burqin to Kanas Lake, to be crossing the Altay mountains. It was a frightened distance of 140 km of road is steep mountains on both sides, no trees, no guardrail, pavement stones are crushed sand, You Zhaiyou slippery. 1800 in many parts of the bend is also followed by the downhill. Landslides everywhere. Sitting in the car, with a total feeling of the car's rear-hung, the driver regular brakes, let's shock the body out of a cold sweat, really "infinite beauty in the dangerous mountain peak."
It was so scary, was "torture" for nearly four hours before they finally jumped over the Altay mountains, into the Altay prairie. This is a typical alpine grassland, is the Altay region, the summer pastures. Rolling hills, the pine cluster-lap, green grass and flowers everywhere, yurt star point, beasts of burden like clouds. From time to time, as well as Kazakh people's children, holding hands, horses breast, cheese, sheep's tail and so on, by the roadside selling ... .... This rugged magnificent, full of exuberant vitality of the landscape, so that we can not help but elated, almost forgotten just breathtaking. We let the driver to stop, immediately carried away to jump off the motorcycle, Pu Jin prairie embrace, breathing fresh air, pick bright-colored wildflowers, facing the genial breeze, in the grasslands heartily run, which hosts playing, play to "release "self. The driver does not agree saying: "This is first in general, more beautiful it is yet to come!"
The driver was right, along the way, boundless steppe, mountains Emerald, picturesque. We are also the way parking, all the way photography is really beautiful. Unconsciously, took a dramatic turn their cars into the valley hills Jiazhi of Kanas, this is a "Xanadu." Here the longer term, scattered grassland, jungle-thick lush Yu. Close look tsugae trees, flowers, Yatani, peaks of competing shows, unique Kazakh huts nestled in the shadow deep shade. The air becomes cool and moist, and ears, gradually came the murmuring sound of the water, we are excited and eager to find a mysterious Kanas Lake, can it refuse to be easily seen, and we played "hide and seek" , in the jungle deep hazy and indistinct, uncertain a wavering, tempting breathtaking.
"Kanas" the Department of Mongolian, meaning "beautiful and mysterious place." Kanas Lake magical seductive, with the "lake monsters" inseparable. Legend has happened there, "lake monsters" swallowed Zhuang horse events, while others see this "lake monsters" flagpole erected in the water like a tail ... .... Later, according to scientific surveys found that the "lake monsters" is a big fish called salmon Hucho, commonly known as big redfish. This anomaly ferocious fish is said to have once in a 7 kg weight of a fish found in red have not yet digested a pheasant. Like the Loch Ness monster, Shennongjia, like Kanas Lake became famous because of large redfish. In addition, there are a number of Kanas Lake mystery - the mystery of driftwood, sea of clouds Buddha mystery, the mystery of color lake ... .... All these have cast a mysterious Kanas Lake color.
In order to expedite a look at their style, we have one to camp, simply arranged a moment, then went straight to Kanas Lake. Through the forest steppe, through the wooden dike You Jing, circuitous, we have finally seen the "kept in purdah in progress" Kanas Lake. What kind of a paradise on earth ah! Kanas Lake surrounded by mountainous peaks, peaks blanketed by Su-wrap. Slopes of pine, spruce layer upon layer upon layer, green dripping. Lakeside Asakusa tiled, flowers everywhere, the original ancient wooden huts, pavilions patchwork. Boundless expanse of blue lake, peaks of the reflection of light from time to time swept surface water birds. Lake-shaped graceful, slender, such as the meniscus extending toward the Castle Peak dense forest, misty look deep. Since this is inconvenient, tourists and small, there is no noise, no hustle and bustle. Everything is so quiet, natural, original. Kanas Lake Moon Bay
Kanas Lake is not only beautiful scenery, but also the unique "personality." It is a very small, only 44.78 square kilometers, in the map may not find it. But it is deep, its largest lake there is 188.5 meters deep, is second only to China-North Korea border baitoushan Tianchi (deepest 312.7 meters) deep lake of our second mountain. --- It belongs to a typical glacial moraine lake, surrounded by a large number of glaciers, peaks melt water formed, so it seemed so冰清玉洁. With Kanas Lake as the center and radius of the scope of 2500 square kilometers, has been turned into state-level nature reserves, thus creating ecological balance, beautiful environment, so that people can enjoy the return to nature, a return to basics ecological charm.
We are now see that God does, the sky suddenly rains a drizzle, a little lake formed the ripples, hazy mist. Amidst the peaks has also been overshadowed by even more mysterious, and trees, grass, wildflowers are moisture and become more bright and moving the. According to locals say it rains here almost every day. Perhaps here Qijue nirvana with this is closely related to rainfall. Indeed, from a geographical perspective, Altai Kanas Lake is located in the northwest, while the Altai Mountains, just at the western windward slopes to alpine air, so rain and snow here, filling, dense grass and trees to become Asia's Fuxin extreme drought area a huge "wet desert island."
To learn more about the Kanas Lake, to see the legendary "lake monsters", I and my husband decided to go rafting. In the past, we have drifted off, and my heart with bottom, are not afraid of danger, so slightly more timid. But when the lifeguard gave me the waterproof rubber pants with whistles of the survival suit and helmet, I suddenly uneasy up, so "heavily armed" is not available over the last drifting, or to set aside, or for self-help , or to prevent "lake monsters", do not know the mercy of the. Drift line is from the Kanas Lake outlet to the Kanas River section of 8 km length drops more than 100 meters. Our drift boats except Wolia, there were two lifeguards, who one pilot, one at the helm. For their warm and generous, deft movements, which undoubtedly has given many of our sense of security.
After a period of calm waters after the ship began to drift into the first rapids area, where the terrain dropped steeply and fast-flowing, spray splash. Drifting boat as if it had eyes, concentrate on the wave on the red, with the waves, the ship violently jerk, ups and downs, while being tossed wave, while another had been left to the trough, if not the hands, feet with rope fixed, our body has long been out of balance, plunged into Kanas River, fed a big redfish. Pilot see our panic-stricken look, smiled and said: "how, Gou Ciji bar!" One after another, we are still badly shaken, and the second rapids appeared, and it mercilessly, again we are thrown on the crest, the bow suddenly rise steeply, a wave right about face to fight over, and before I called out, the boat has gone over the peak, falling to the trough, good insurance ah! La Tangji look we have become, and boat also got a half of water, we hurried out splashing water. This is my experience the most thrilling and most exciting time drifting.
Suddenly someone cried, "Look, big redfish!" Looking back on the direction we looked, in the underwater, vaguely seem to have four or five dark red, two meters long in a big fish in the cruise, due to water anxious to see is not real. Later, they found groups of "big redfish," but thought, "lake monsters" can not be so easy to see it, and the "lake monsters" No trouble, no legends of the terrible things that happen, will it is the bottom of the red rocks. No time to reflect on, but also a rapids appeared. With the experience of the previous adventure, and my heart but do not tense, despite the rising wave hit, I am self-stays on, but looking forward to a more dangerous rapids there, but unfortunately, the latter was outstripped by a few rapids, and we are all well through the.
Only of 1 hour, 8 km away end drift, we can see the large gradient, flow of the urgent. Throughout the drift, we have enjoyed the fun of drifting unique, but also experience to overcome the difficulties and the courage to challenge themselves.
Drifting the end, it is already more than 19:00, because the time difference between Kanas region until 23 o'clock the sun was downhill, so this moment is still sunny. We are frantically rushed to the Kanas Lake foothills west of Kazakhstan opened specially prepared to board a 2030 meters of the summit, to "a football pavilion" on to enjoy the Kanas panorama, go and see the magic "1000 meters long dead wood breakwater "and the" color lake. "
Kazakhstan opened Special lush mountain grass, the vertical landscape is very obvious foothills of grassland, up to forest steppe ecotone, and then further on is the forest belt. Over time in the grasslands, there are a dozen horse-riding teenagers, catch up to vie with each other to let us ride the horse of their mountain. I have never ridden a horse, and having heard the horse especially strong Kanas, of course, is to give even more afraid of the gang of "more normal", "pit", so I politely refuse a. Kanas region is Kazak, Mongolian, Tuva and other ethnic minority ghettos, they are good at riding, where we often see 7-8 year-old child riding a high first Malaysia, chic look proud.
Walk up the mountain, step one-for-scene, simply dazzle relaxed and happy. We are very fast, through the forest steppe, we began to enter the hillside luxuriant virgin forest. As the trees are tall and upright, "crowded in upon" all of a sudden become dark up the environment. Order as quickly as possible through this piece of forest, we have defied the fatigue, but also speed up the pace. At this time, down from the hills, a man saw Woliang, said: "The Peak is far yet, and you have this speed have to 12:00 in order to reach the peak, after dark, you will be stuck atop of." We are doubtful about this and want to continue to advance . The man pulled out a red armband, firmly said: "I'm an administrator here, you can not go up by 10 million. Forest wolf, as well as brown bears, very dangerous." This, we did not dare to insist on, and then bitterly to follow him down the. On the road, he also talked about bears eating things I do not know is true or false, hear us shudder, but also gives us this piece of forest, resulting in fear, of course, more of a self-protection.
The way down, but also met the folks on horseback teenagers as if they are waiting for us. Seeing getting dark, I fear, get out of this piece of forest steppe, had the unpleasant task of riding. Wolia chose a stout white horse, holding the reins by a Mongolian youth, led down by. The young are very warm, generous, who hides behind carefully led the way, and we also chatted with one hand. Listen to him, he was a high one Altay students during summer vacation, "work-study program." He not only speaks good Chinese, but also said the Kazak, Uygur, Tuva ethnic language. He is still very studious, lose no time to us for advice a lot of English words. Unconsciously, we got used to the feeling of bumps on horseback, and my heart is no longer the tense, the body has relaxed. Then from behind to catch up to two Mongolian youth, his classmates, as he does not speak Chinese very well. Hear that we are teachers, we are very respected, all riding on the side of the "escort", we were really celebrities, and all the way to tell jokes,
The grassland on the bench feeling a share of chic, find it a pleasure, relaxation and contentment, and soon we are out of the forest-steppe.
Night we live in the rich ethnic customs of the huts, the huts really "genuine", all with the whole entire root of red pine roots built on the original ancient, inside a cool, clear scent exudes the trees. But I do not know how, my heart always feel rather bad taste. I think the huts do not have a true, with vinyl materials, construction, the same can be done "genuine."
Here Dajian huts, wooden bridges, building materials, almost all local materials. Kanas is the only region in Europe --- Siberian Taiga line "enclave", there are a number of valuable trees, but forests are also habitat for many rare animals under state protection, is China's boreal animals most, greatest number of distribution area. If the scale development projects, without restrictions, then sooner or later one day, everything will taste distorted.
