Come know earlier. Xinjiang, with the Mainland, there are about 2 hours time difference, local people usually go to work after more than 10 points. We are on the road met a lot of school kids. Urumqi is actually not much difference between major cities in the Mainland is just another in each character written on the bottom line just Vivian Balakrishnan. We had no place to go, ready to take a look at first went to the bustling business district. 2-way car ride 4,5 Station Road, went to a friendly commercial buildings, is relatively well-known local shopping malls. (Urumqi with the Pacific Ocean, Parkson, Century Golden Flower, Tianshan Department Store, friendly, Shenzhen City, such as shopping malls, supermarkets, I saw the N-MART, Carrefour, etc.) turns out to be open until 11 o'clock. In the vicinity of Chilezaocan. Face and meat whistle Nang. Whistle side, that is a small amount of carrot granules and tablets made meat sauce mixed face, not very tasty. Nang okay. Time to eat yogurt bought eight boxes, four varieties, 7 corner glass, hard plastic cups that. Xinjiang yogurt cheap and tastes better, this day was almost soaked in yogurt inside. Recommended beef, multi-largest mall in the pearl milk tea, as the streets are closed and sell the same, the taste is very positive. I also describe do not come, anyway, very good to eat. Gary cards are mass produced, and I bought 800 milliliters per barrel in the supermarket only 3 of 7, enjoyable. After breakfast, friendly department store is also open the door. Indiscriminately into the stroll a bit. The Pacific Ocean, Parkson, Century Golden Flower, friendly, Shenzhen City, in a way, Shun all stroll around in a circle, Century Golden Flower is probably the most stylish, highest grade, and actually there ecco shoes sale, Chongqing have not yet. Erdaoqiao afternoon stroll to the market. Here is a place in Urumqi Uygur people gathered, it is a lot of the national sale of goods, scarves, wool shawl, Yingjisha knife, carpet, tin crafts, ethnic clothing, etc., it is complete, the operators have mostly Uygur people in Xinjiang prestigious The country markets.

Here clothing, food, commodities, snacks, everything complete.
At 8 pm, on the train. Xinjiang has long been the Internet that is the most beautiful sunset yesterday bought tickets are also pleased to No. 1 on the lower berth, the results of the car a look at the front of the middle out, and depressed. Xinjiang's sleeper bus is very clean, the car in the car door will be asked to take off their shoes and then use the plastic bags, the car no odor. After the sun sets and the fast car, and shops is too narrow, I climbed to the space next to the driver to sit down, the west horizon, some clouds, do not see the sunset, think of that side of the rain-line can not help but faint for tomorrow's weather some concern. 10 pm, stopped to eat in one place, where we also bought some peaches, Korla pears and wear, are cheaper. Pear is a 5 a kilogram, it is sweet. Here was kind enough to the car 5 from Jiangsu Xuzhou come to catch something and the next few days we all go the same way a few. They are Xuzhou City Morning News reporters interviewed in Xinjiang. Eaten with rice and continue to the road, to bed. Burqin along the way to go through the Urho Mogui Cheng, Karamay oil field, unfortunately are the middle of the night before.
8.31: Departure from Urumqi has been Shihezi, Kuitun, all the way are the high-grade highways in the morning they wake up in the bumps in the car had been driving in the desert where the roads. Neighboring Burqin about more than 100 kilometers in the road, often on the sidewalk are open, and some bumps. Take a look at the windshield, there are densely covered in rain. Coudao next to the driver talk to each other, and asked Kanas weather. Experienced drivers leave to say that today is best to live Burqin, evidently the hill (the locals Kanas, Kamoku and other places referred to) will be cold, big clouds to see what the Bu Zhao. Was a little depressed. 9:40 am, after more than 13 hours, 660 kilometers of bumpy, to burqin the.
Burqin Altay region is a county located in northwestern Xinjiang, north and north-east part of the other with Russia, Kazakhstan and Mongolia, bordering the People's Republic is the only western China and the Russian border counties. The county's population also fifty or sixty thousand people, because of Kanas Lake Tour in the summer heat led to a local economy. To Kanas and Kamoku transit are almost always here. The road on both sides of the small town where almost all large and small hotels, the county seat into the Arctic Ocean while the only river in China - Irtysh. The river and therefore bustling night market. Irtysh River Bridge, said that Xinjiang's most beautiful sunset is a pity because we did not stay in Burqin I was unable to be able to see.
When you get a lot of people in the car door asking Wai chartered or not, Kanas from Burqin 140 kilometers, and Kamoku should be close more, not in the past Kamoku road is not good, must be four-wheel drive jeep to Cameroon Nath whole are asphalt, Santana 50 / person, to Kamoku is also a 50 / person, but a Beijing Jeep. Proposal must go to the northern Kamoku, more than 40 kilometers away from the place where Kanas shunt, where the beautiful morning mist. Self-service to these places do not train, if we go to best chartered, the price may be a little expensive, but you can always stop taking pictures, after all, the way the scenery is beautiful. There are many owners of the station in Burqin Showmanship, when we go to is not very prosperous, Beijing Jeep and Cherokee General 300 / day, there are the old Toyota Land Cruiser ,500-600 a day, including fuel costs and drivers accommodation. Be able to sit 4 person, so chartered four of the most cost-effective. We are 7 people want to pack two, watched a good few more cars, red cars selected blue Jeep Cherokee and a Land Cruiser. Is 310 days, but the mind how Toyota would like it so cheap, are willing to run, the result was later learned there is a reason.
Kanas went to apply for border passes, in the local border police station to do, very convenient. 2 yuan / person. We are in Chongqing run, and wait for them to do five out of fill up, hit the road. On the road, the rain stopped, and slowly began to out of the sun, thinking that fortunately did not hear the drivers live in the county seat. From the first section of Burqin to Hemu Kanas Lake Road and go the same way is a high-grade roads, shunt trip, after that period is difficult, and are roads, dozens of kilometers down the road walked two hours. 15:00 more to Kamoku, it was noon. Drivers, directly send us to Ruifeng hotel, is his wife opened. No wonder he would be 300 one-day car rental prices to us, it had to wait in the slaughter here. (In Kamoku and Kanas are usually 15-30 / person of accommodation, meals are astronomical, it is recommended in Urumqi or Burqin bought a few days to bring the dry food, car rental, when he stated that he also involve negotiations with room and board should not interfere . local tourism development myself very standardized, the driver may take you to familiarize him with the hotel, you gently slaughter knife). She wanted 40 a person, then we have 7 people asked for a one yurt, 200. At this time, everyone began to beware of the psychological mouth, but with him in order not to harden the surface, or be properly and take the initiative with them cotton, noon, evening meals we eat in the hotel, playing a five fold actually be more than 600, take a look at the menu bar. But he was very friendly family dog, called Flower, quite lovely.
Hemu was a birch, peaks, rivers, surrounded by small villages. 4 weeks are picturesque, each traveler can be in accordance with their feelings to find the dream of autumn. However, when we go a little early for that. 9 mid to late is the most beautiful, and white birch leaves yellow, beautiful in the sunlight. Hemu is a township, in fact, the village is almost Jiugen large, Hemu River blue and crystal clear waters of the river shore, are both large and small pebbles, jet hit the stone, reveal blossoming spray, truly beautiful. West of the mountains are a wonderful panoramic view Kamoku locations, from the top looking down, animal husbandry owned cattle and sheep, wooden bridges and flowing water, white birch yellow leaves, curl smoke, like a dreamy painting! Dissipate into the atmosphere from time to time the cattle and sheep, dogs roam what is in, looked very angry. You can ride to the beautiful Peak, 20 / hour / person. Actually encountered a horse in the evening from Chongqing Hemu Kanas came to girls. Kamoku night sky l'etoile, the United States can not be made (after all almost every day, or else is a huge moon).
9.1 to get up early the morning mist shoot Kamoku, Kamoku wooden bridge near the dense birch, fast flowing river in stone stirred waves will make your shooting box, and especially rich in color. Wooden bridge near the Holy Land photography is almost everywhere carrying a tripod holding a large barrel people. In the evening and early morning, be sure to bring the camera to the wooden bridge cruise cruise along the river or in the birch Kamoku the walk to capture the sun shed moment. Kamoku hillside opposite you can see panoramic views of Kamoku. Morning valley fog an article from across the whole village, it is an attractive option. Duochu sitting in a small riverside villages, enjoy the view from the mist of light around the wooden structure, was the owner out of things inside the enclosed sheep, horses, milking cows toward the village at the garden. Gradually, the immediate bursts of smoke from the cabin curl into the sky, serene and harmonious.
After breakfast depart for Kanas, 3 hours to. Tickets for the border inspection station certificate. Tickets 100, student cards 80. (He only look at the card, do not open, so long as it wants to go with the student cards. No pipe is not his own.)
Kanas is known as China's the only place where the European Alps scenery, but also is the only ancient Europe, Siberia, the northern boundary of flora and fauna distribution area, or Twas the only settlements. Kanas Lake is one major feature of color, with the sun each day, each season a different climate, granite powder, and into the water, shoreline forest grassland rich colors, silhouetted in the lake, Kanas Lake to become a red Malacosoma Green-changing palette. The Legend of Lake has increased the Kanas lake monster of Lake mystery, the Tuva people living in the lake, grandparents often Festivals and events. One into the area, Wolong Bay will give you the enjoyment of refreshing, in northwest China could hold Jiuzhai like water, lakes, streams Emerald gold into thin sheets of golden birch impact on your line of sight. Moon Bay worthy of the name, is shaped like a crescent, indigo lake surrounded by lush growth from the forest.
We pack the car directly to us to the Commerce, Industry Hills, is said to be a friend to open the driver, and an opening asking price 80 / person. We looked around, people are under 30 or so. We do not want to live here, even the drivers of some fade. It seems very close relationship between their interests. Later bargain to 30 / person, just that only two beds three and four only human. At noon we have not lost their desire to eat in these places, all eating solid food. Kanas scenic sightseeing vehicles, other vehicles can not enter, parked in the parking lot gods Bay. Sightseeing car 1,2 hours road journey is not long, free ride, similar to Jiuzhaigou, car is a Mitsubishi, Jinlong and Toyota minibus. A road from the gods Bay - lake Villa, 2 road from the lake Villa - General Library. Total library has to Guan Yu Ting's car, one-way 20, from 30. Guan Yu Ting is the best location in Lake Peak point of view because it is said to be able to see the big redfish lake is named after a walk over 1000 steps to Guan Yu Ting. Natural scenery is by the changes in light, to Guan Yu Ting Soon, large areas of clouds covering the surface of the lake, and soon the wind and rain. Down a road on foot from the other three more than 1000 steps to the lake, took a speedboat over Lake, 10 / person. Rain, we drove down, down to the foot, but also clear of. We are the Plank Road along the lake, went to few visitors. Plank Road to the Wolong Bay will always be the same side, there is time to have a walk. I would like to be 3,4 hours should go. Kanas Lake is very calm, the water color is very special, very strong, as has been soaked in milk. Here is China's only on the rooster's tail, followed by Kazakhstan, Russia and Mongolia border.
Night, unpleasant things happened. Hotel boss that we do not eat him, when our two rooms cut off electricity, had a heated quarrel. Half an hour later power came.
9.2 to get up early photographs, the lake water vapor transpiration everywhere hobble around Changqiangduanpao enthusiast. Checkout the morning, when the employer has abandoned the accord, and said that we need to pay the room 40 / person, 30 is 6 earth prices. Some kicked up again. Hotel helpers actually threatened to interrupt our legs, we can see the confusion in the local tourism management. Finally to 30 / person checkout, proceed to the non-Haba Village. Halfway there that road, coupled with landscape and Kamoku similar to the other side, and we have no mood to continue to be here, he decided to return to Burqin. Back to the halfway Burqin to see a large sunflower forest, in the sun for a beautiful sight. Wonder how come, when not seen. 1:00 to Burqin, end up with two cars 1800 fare.
7 am to Urumqi to buy tickets. The car driver is more clean, right on the car everyone will say "take off your shoes! Foot odor does not stink, foot odor and feet to" very funny. There is a beautiful car Uygur little boy, very funny love. Out Burqin a large section of the Gobi are mediocre Lane. I rely on shops in the West, the photograph of a beautiful sunset. (Recommended Burqin to stay one night, you can go to the South Bridge sunset shot, the first two days by car to the Urho evening to Mo Guicheng, and then back to Urumqi)
9.3 morning to Urumqi, then a taxi to go Qichenanzhan, on the shuttle bus to Turpan. Jinlong, 30 / person. Halfway through the Dabancheng wind power plants, according to a few in the car. After 3 hours to Turpan. At the station, we have 50 / person price of packages of the vehicles Jinbei vehicles, an appointment the morning of the first two days then we went to Flaming Mountains, Grape Valley, Karez, Ancient City of Gaochang and so on. And self-help groups in Turpan with not much difference between a matter of fact, each attraction is not the time to stay longer with the team has more convenient. In Urumqi with the 150 or so, play one day.
If you really want to help themselves to, it is recommended in the Grape Valley Zhuyi Ye, 50 packages of accommodation and three meals, and the farmers happy about, but also big eat the fruit, cool. Gaochang hotels we stay there, take a bath, changed or washed the clothes to wear for a few days (in the Kamoku and Kanas is no way to bathe, unless a higher grade in the Kanas stay hotels). Stroll in the evening stroll to the night market. Turpan is not, nor busy night, slept a good feel.
9.4 Turpan Tourism has long been a mature line, online there are many posts on there, there is not more to say. Turpan grapes good to eat Oh. Can be seen casually into a show, grapes. Have a special area is to eat fruit. As long as you sit there, do not go, it will continue to send watermelon, cantaloupe and grapes up, eating casually. But also dried fruit sell all kinds of different types of raisins, dried figs, ebony what, but the price seems expensive than Urumqi. Urumqi ume 14 / kg, there should be 35.
Back to the afternoon of Turpan, then back to Urumqi, and bought the next day return ticket in Chongqing 1084 times. To Urumqi before moving in after living in hotels, at 51 Road, FB, big string of meat, big cans Suannai. Back to the hotel has bought a watermelon. But the day did not sweet.
9.5 During the day visiting the erdaoqiao the market, left Urumqi, 20:10
9.6 over the afternoon of Jiayuguan.
9.8 5 am to Chongqing.
Others:
Eat: Xinjiang local beef and mutton to the main concept of Sichuan dishes are also many. Dairy products and fruit variety and cheaper prices. Hemu Kanas and expensive meals. Urumqi, the famous home of Bo shield restaurants, authentic Uygur food, should go to taste. Tianshan Department Store next to one. Eat a very large quantity, usually two copies of three individuals to eat enough.
Live: Urumqi many hotels, hotels and guest houses, good to find. Both expensive cheap. Kanas and Kamoku general 15-50 / person and conditions are generally relatively clean, a bed only, no place to bathe. The toilet nor convenient.
Line: Urumqi well-developed public transport, bus accessible everywhere, coin or credit card, 1 yuan / person. In Urumqi basically playing no more than 10 yuan, started 6 yuan, model-san, Beverly, and Jetta, Chery more. Nianzigou fat northern station, passenger South Station issued a long-distance bus in southern Xinjiang. (In Urumqi, South Station is generally understood to train station, to talk Qijunanzhan), multi-start in the evening, Xinjiang large, easily thousands of kilometers, where tourism should be ready to endure hardship preparations. We are starting this trip ten thousand kilometers from Chongqing. To Kanas personal best if there are four chartered along the way at any time to stop. Alone and go sit in the Burqin 50 / person or a car to Hemu Kanas. With a large capacity mp3, otherwise a very boring long-distance traffic.
Wear: Xinjiang weather is very dry, UV-strong, wearing a hat, woman can bring moisture, the Dongdong sunscreen, lip balm is essential. The sun during the day when the temperature is still high, at night in Urumqi you can wear long-sleeved shirt, and Kanas relatively cold at night, I go to bed wearing a cotton underwear. Kanas weather changes quickly, wearing rain clothes. In an early September day Kanas Jackets and short-term T is sufficient. Urumqi short-T, at an appropriate increase on it. I also brought along a sweater with me, useless on.
Admission: Kamoku free; Kanas 100, student cards 80; Huoyanshan free; Ancient City of Gaochang 20, student card 10; Grape Valley 15, student card is also a; Karez 20, the same student ID.
Kanas has already begun to repair the airport, next year will be able to transport, but also repair the next cable car, after people can not live within a scenic area, and all the living 20 kilometers away from the scenic valley of Jarden. And now, like Jiuzhaigou. Scenic construction within the next year, we must dismantle. Going to have to act quickly, and now the Xinjiang government has also spent great efforts to develop tourism resources Kanas to Hemu Road will be repaired soon, a bus pass. As we all know what the consequences are the so-called primitive scenery is getting less.
Communication: Xinjiang, China Unicom and mobile effects similar to the road would not have been the signal, but every journey must be able to see that China Telecom and China Unicom scattered around the antenna tower, no cell phone signal in the Kamoku. Locals by satellite telephone, 3 yuan / min.
To bring enough film batteries, or difficult to resupply. I brought a digital camera and digital companion, a co-existence of more than 800 photos to come back.
Urumqi often have cars on the sidewalk to open and pay attention to avoidance.
Xinjiang Tourism is still very safe and friendly to everyone on it. Do not mention in a halal restaurant pork, not to eat. Do not take pictures of the Uygur women, not a long time staring at them. Counter-offer to buy things in the erdaoqiao sincere and warm on the inside would suddenly be the owner of the shop pulling his arm go, do not panic, they generally do not malicious, but some people said there were a lot of thieves.
