D5 Korla - Bayan Bluck
A long time never been the train, N945 fairly clean, but also a new type of upper and lower levels of the sleeper compartment. Many people on board, although air-conditioned but still feel hot after I drive away, and Joann went straight to the dining car, intended to pre-sleep time in where to get rid of. In the dining car to see an interesting thing, there are three Uyghur youth in the dining car, and read that they seldom go out on the dining car where a lot of things are very curious, and the effort to understand not only eat a half-day kung fu is not sitting in the dining car inside. Within a short stop a train station, a few new passengers on the bus walk through from the dining car, including two girls, dressed in both the Mainland will be in Beijing, also known as the last bold avant-garde, the three Uygur small group immediately see rare animals such as Qi Shuashua like the staring eyes, watched them from the head to the dining car dining car apart, Wang Dan, until the disappearance of two girls outside. Joann and I see them look, all bow their heads titter, but Daoshi can also be understood that in Kashgar, in the Uygur people's national mind-set, do not have such dressed woman.
5:00 more to Korla, after starting off looking for car, spent a lot of effort has finally found a driver, but on a good way to Urumqi, all 4 days or 5 days. 200 yuan per day, plus petrol and driver is responsible for food, in fact, that is, and we eat different to live with his own to find a place to live. Car not bad, is the new Santana cars, where I strongly recommend, Mix are certain conditions to rent a jeep, the trip back to this point, we understand and profound.
Korla City is very clean, the discovery of oil fields, the city's construction speed faster than the multi-Kashgar. Here is also a lot of people go to Loulan, Niya and other desert regions of the origin Unfortunately, this time we do not have the opportunity to go. Korla side there is a Bosten Lake, we did not go, I heard that feeling and Baiyangdian similar to a great lake around the reed. Our goal is to go north to Bayan Bluck grasslands.
Out of the city, he drove a very steady, because it is new car, drivers are unwilling to open too fast, and we just enjoy the scenery along the route. Shun went to the Pakistan round of the Taiwan Huang Temple, feeling very disappointed, almost nothing to see, so that now I also think there might be the driver the wrong place. To be honest, this day gave me the impression that not deep, is the light began to chug along the Stone Mountain or the earth mountains, dark, good-looking, and later on some grass, and grass, but not completely green, and yellow in some places, and walked walk, you can see the In little pasture, and cattle and sheep began to be filed, a shepherd sheep direction is north, the drivers say, they want to go to Bayan Bluck sheep grazing. Here I first come into contact with nomads, all their belongings were on horseback, dozens of heads or the composition of a group of hundreds of sheep, a few thought it was not looking at before and after the protection of sheep shepherd driving a flock of sheep, herders on horseback while leisurely to follow, more comfortable while lying on the two camel ride up a small bed. Car from time to time to give the sheep to give way, or the large crowd waiting for the cattle and sheep cross the road, this time, shepherds would like you to bring the spirit of fancy, while others like a show of troops on, then Yi Liuyan like speeding away, it is go away quickly turned into a black o'clock.
Road conditions are getting worse all the way to a bumpy we finally Bayan Bluck area, due to go to Swan Lake, we have to move forward more than 60 kilometers to the town of Bayan Bluck. Bayan Bluck is actually a town of only a small town street children in the evening, the only one walking in the streets and suddenly felt like the film "The Swordsman in Double Flag Town," a scene, like the sky gray Meng Meng, mist-shrouded peaks, squall blew, yellow sand over the sky, the whole world became a khaki-colored, only a handful of people on the streets, only the distant bursts of barking. Here really and I imagine the beautiful Swan Lake too far behind.
Note:
1. Korla to Bayan Bluck about 400 kilometers, and enter the Bayan Bluck areas, the road is very bad to go, all of washboard road, people should be scattered Britain
2. Accommodation is very cheap, fairly clean, tidal lake lake, the standard rooms have hot water 50.
3. Eating expensive than expected, especially if you want to eat fish, then mountains, but I can Kanjia. Dinner, four individual 70 yuan.
