D7 narat - Ili (Yining City) - Sailimu Lake
The afternoon of that day, I saw the most beautiful scenery in Xinjiang trip, so that right before the memory of seeing this view have become extremely blurred.
Out narat, originally planned destination was the city of Yining in today's result, because we do not Guaiqu narat grasslands, and directly along the 218 national highway, opened to the Gongliu County in one breath, so to change the plan, Yining City, ate lunch, the afternoon went straight to Sailimu Lake. From narat to Yining, my memories are often seen on the road a little to see the Mainland brand, similar to primary school students crossing the road sign, but not the endorsement package above painting of pupils, but a cow. This way, we also see a relatively modern kinds of cattle pastures and sheep breeding, the relative Bayan Bluck speaking, a deep and industrial flavor.
Afternoon, starting from Yining to continue to move forward along the 218 national highway, national highway of Gong Nice river has changed here is called Ili, after the arrival of water Changhe Town, 218 National Road on the coming to an end, the south is the famous Horgos ports, there are a lot of the CIS over the giant trucks from the other side, the north is what we want Sailimu Lake. Out of water Changhe Town, along State Highway 312 all the way north into the mountains began, and winding km winding, wooded mountains on both sides, suffused with blue green sheen. Indeed, in southern Xinjiang Yili area of barren and desolate different, where tree-lined, the river rapids, all kinds of vegetation, animals, variety, vitality proudly.
The way forward, non-stop looking at me and Joann map of how race Satoki less than that over the town of reed grass, and guozigou tourist area and had experienced, how is not that a sign in front of a pine tree to see the head Joann said, over here you should come, but we soon turn to the Peak, and Sailimu Lake Is it true that jian on? As we speak, cars turn the last one col, a large blue scenery suddenly crashed into my field of vision, I was not able to distinguish between a time Where is the day, Where is the land where there is water. So beautiful, and did not expect such a big Sailimu Lake, so blue, bright blue, blue and even eye-catching than days, as if heaven and earth swap the location of the moment, impossible to separate the upper and lower left.
Race Satoki the Kazakh word for "blessing" means, but also commonly known as the three Haizi, which is the largest alpine lake in Xinjiang, more than 2000 meters above sea level, in the eyes of many ancient exiles, which is the "West to the exotic, the World outside the Ling Nang. " At this point the sky cloudless, azure blue lake is reflected, the lake was covered with colored flowers, green grass of the reveals a shiny mountain pine trees stand out straight, the distance is the Castle Peak peaks. Joann and I rode up the hill into the jungle's edge, Joann lucky saw a fox, big tail on the toss of drilling holes disappear. In the forest edge, there are many large squirrel, far to look at us, when we close, they are drilling holes to each other and screaming, to the Peak, you can see the whole picture Sailimu Lake, big lake, surrounded by mountains Wan anchovy not see the end of the lake really is too blue, and clear, strong irradiation in the sun, like a large sapphire, set in the middle of the mountains.
In the evening we are down to the lake, the water cooler difficult to handle, with a faint salty, the lake waves were blossoming, and the crystal clear look at the bottom of the sand, sunset, lake water showing different shades of blue, clouds began to more than up, flickering sunlight exposure in the woods and lake, when the sun is getting low, when appearing on a distant hilltop golden yellow ribbons, will be separated heaven and earth, how the lake became a bleak taupe, while the forest and grassland were irradiated golden, and especially eye-catching.
Here is my current saw the most beautiful places in Xinjiang, but it also occurred to me the most unpleasant things, undermining the herders good in my mind the image of simplicity. In fact, the matter is very simple, we intend to live in the Kazakh people's yurts, Kazakhstan, the boss asked what we eat, we say that there roast lamb, the boss suggested that we roast a whole sheep, we added the driver only four individuals, could eat, so As long as a leg of lamb, Joann also highlighted a number that can not, and gave money to the boss 50. The results of the boss brought back a whole sheep that must sell to us, 300 yuan on the grounds that he could not find a single leg of lamb sold. We certainly do not agree with, and adhere to as long as a leg of lamb, the boss does not do, saying that we are going to be buying lamb, the lamb can not buy fragmented, the remaining lamb we do not, they did not approach the two sides dispute the for nearly an hour, days are getting dark, and Kazakhs are increasingly unreasonable to see if we intend to go, he said that if the talk is good, we can not leave, look around the ring I am sure he is not scared me. Finally, I talk about the boss for a long time reason and the thirsty, he agreed to take only half, so we spent 150 yuan took a half-sheep, as angry does not live in the lake, but to go back less than 10 km, living in a cart shop, half-sheep after processing in the store to eat two meals, left a lot of respect given to the owner of the.
Note
1. Riding Sailimu Lake 80 yuan / two people, the park, you can Kanjia.
2. Lived in a taxi shop exceptionally cheap, four human 40 yuan, conditions can be imagined. Sailimu Lake side there are many resorts, we went to the season has not opened the door, after estimated that opened in June, the price is not clear, it is estimated not cheap.
3. Sailimu Lake not far from Yining City, about 100 km or so, three hours by car can be that all along the winding roads, beautiful scenery.
