17, the morning of rest, and then, and Wuhan, Shenyang teacher farewell, they go to Kanas, I the afternoon train to Kashgar. Urumqi train station is South Station, the tall and neat, especially the strict security checks. A special waiting area in the soldiers to give priority to stop, I sat inside, and no one tube. Urumqi to Kashgar twice-daily car, N946, 15.51 to open, the shop 335 yuan, and 23 hours to Kashgar, as well as a climbing trip to 30 hours or so. Yes, Express is a two-tier sleeper, this is the first time to sit. Several of the surrounding passengers are going to Kashi to participate in the textile industry skills contest, and they are two people in the home of Shandong, the villagers together and talk very happy. Next to a soldier also joined the chat, his home is in Shandong, he said that there is an Army unit in Kashi, in the county-level city, there are army-level units in addition to Kashi only erenhot of. He insists on using his handlebar me to the People's Square, and leave phone, what can be said to find him.
He said, "Kashi is now very safe, compared with the mainland is also safe", and advised me to "definitely do not worry."
Kashgar is full of exotic, are greeted Uygur people, few Han people face, you are asking directions, but also to wait half a day. A man with a cap, a woman dressed in brightly colored costumes. There are a lot of people covered my face, do not see the truth about the matter. Looked far from a taxi, traffic police, security is no different, you look closely, they are all "high nose", feeling strange.
People's Square opposite the Cinema House, standard rooms 60, sold out. But the room is too old, and is not recommended to live here. To move forward, came to Grand Cross of the Shandong Hotel, standard room 100, the night noise noisy downstairs ballroom can not sleep, early in the morning before fleeing out.
Afternoon to find Xiao Song Cinema House, on the road Shun buy air tickets (it is not willing to take the train), was told that morning of 22 tickets 7 off night, not discount, the full price of more than 1300, secretly crying, "If in Urumqi bought 5 off the return journey tickets right away. " To see Xiao Song, chartered a moment to discuss something, they only to Carla Curry Lake, but I want to red the rap, it seems they can not be a peer. Xiao Song said to me that the new color over the road opened a China Southern Airlines ticket office, the door was also arrayed basket, and advised me to try his luck, Xiao Song Cantonese Old Lee giving me a call, said he was prepared to go to red its Rapp.
Go on the road full-color China Southern Airlines Box Office (152-color full Road ,0998-2980988), received the same answer and the previous question, but the ticket lady Qiaoliaojixia keyboard, said: "red-eye flights can do, 0:10 to "" A few off? "" 3.5-fold, 420 worth of "This is really pleasant surprise, not much expensive than the train tickets, but also free up time for the past two days. Get tickets, I only remember Q: What model? "Boeing 757"
No worries, light a number of steps have also come to known as Xinjiang is also China's largest Islamic temple - Id Kah Mosque, to a time when the prayer time, after 10 minutes, those who worship out of the tourists was only allowed to enter. Id Kah resemble the less than grand, majestic, personal feelings, such as Xi'an, the mosque is not large area. Tourists little more than an hour's time, fewer than 20 visitors. "Tibetan antelopes self-help Travel Guide" said, "to enter the temple pictures Imam presided over the consent must be obtained," "in accordance with religious rules, women can not enter the mosque, women travelers and travel agents only to find the relevant departments under the coordination and help to obtain the temple agreed before they can enter the "Now these are not need, and female visitors unrestricted, and can be freely photographed.
When I take off your shoes into the hall, when inside empty Heiqu Qu, and the old feeling of hair behind the cold, hastens to slip out, go out after the event of a tour guide with five tourists come in, come in this way, I also followed . Tour guide said that Sunday when the only big one imam who can stop line, the rest shuffling plates, we must stand outside line. At the foot of carpet was sent by Iranian leaders, the Japanese that 25 million people are not selling. In front of five clock shows the time for Muslim worship. . . . . . Listen to and do not listen to really not the same.
Outside an old man to concentrate on reading through the book, I washed him nod and smile as a signal to photograph him, and he smiled at me, I am relieved, lying on the floor, Yang took one.
From the hall out the back door of the mosque is next to go, and the door is not checked, the Mix you can try from here. After the door is the Old Street, Uygur blowing breath of life. Noon to Kashi, the face is filled with the Uygur people really did not dare raise their cameras, in particular, is facing the Yanyanshishi Mongolian woman who, thinking that if the camera, surrounded by a group of people do not come to a sudden gush, the camera was wrestling a crush, people have been beaten meal. Touch down, Uygur people are very friendly, face the camera, no one's face impatient, women are not many opportunities for photography, when you look at the digital camera showed them, they were pleasantly surprised smile faces are exposed The children even more so, everyone has little hands grab the camera out of view, after reading, but also pinch from waist, the arrayed posture allows you to make another. Let children look at photos, the camera must be held high, if caught, to leave a light by the lens Mahamudra, then the screen has been re-arrested on the trouble.
Mosque plaza in front of you is worthy of a place to stay for some time.
19, early in the morning and moved to the Post Hotel, single room 100.
There are two Kashgar bazaar, the East's largest bazaar. And resemble the different, the East Bazaar is not the middle of the road, on both sides of a stall, and it is more like a city of fairs, greenhouses Here is a long stall, corner of the open areas is temporary stalls, usually no one, Only when it is crowded Sunday market plan is very clear, selling cloth, selling livestock, selling knives. . . . . . . Has its own site. Bubble all morning, where the Uygur people Kanjia approach is very interesting, both hands clenched together, harder rocking, do not know that thought Reunited. What sells on both markets, food and clothing to use readily available. Order to guard against sun and dust, many places Covers up red, so the market was fantastic red enveloped, like the world came to the same fairy tale. In the market to buy some Yingjisha knife, and the Uighur cap, there is a Pakistani out of pure wool scarf is not bad, I will not Kanjia, just like in a girl's back, looked at her Kanjia, and she bought the post - , I got to ask her how much was spent, she unskilled Chinese gestures and said 35, the original was a Japanese girl. Contacted about the morning with the Lao Li said good afternoon to meet to discuss chartered to the Red its rap thing.
Kashgar's streets filled with public telephones, long distance per minute, 3 cents every day I play a lot of times, has never experienced cheating situation. A call, surrounded by the Uygur people, me and a friend, usually used to go pig to pig, and chatting "pig," blurted out, then I realized that the export bad, nervous look around, is also Good did not react. In the remainder of Kashgar I can not give this friend made a phone call.
Bazaar visited the afternoon went to some, and then go to Lao Li, Lao Li Guangzhou, resigned, and prepared to travel for two months outside. He lived in his Triple-ri Ni Wake hotel. Lao Li said that his post at the headquarters of the color Mix posted over hotel for several days, nothing happened, and we discuss it is not, sit shuttle bus to Taxkorgan, and then ask others to the red of their rap. But this case, the road will not be able to take pictures. I hear his name said, I went to Id Kah Mosque in the square up, see if you can wait for peers who tell the truth, was really not what is the expectation. Arrival square, they saw a man and a woman, two people taking pictures to see a donkey dressed no doubt, I walked up to: "You do to the red of their Rapp, and we chartered two people to find someone." Xiao Huang is also a small Zeng Guangzhou they also want to go, but no final set. I hastened when a burst of advertising, the snow-capped mountains, glaciers described some of the beauty to see them tempted, and quickly put the phone to hear his name called over, the four discuss Well, tomorrow to the Red its Rapp, back and forth two days. Xiao Huang package on the same day a car, we have found the driver Pan shop, on a good 1400 to the red of their Rapp, drivers on the road all the costs themselves. I Pan Master said, "this price is slightly expensive than the Internet, said, she does not counter-offer, and hope that he will serve us well."
After breaking up to the Grand Cross of the supermarket to buy things, saw a pair of lovers, I hasten to put up to ask them "to the Red its rap it?" The idea to the pressure any longer. Post did not say the hardware hotel, facilities are new. A result, there is no hot water at night, and repair for a long time before we know the water pump is broken. The door is the single desk in the evening phone calls,: (, to the power outage in the morning again. Depressed.
9:00 am is 7:00 am Beijing time, PAN master to pick, and depart for Taxkorgan. Start or asphalt surface, and have a center attached to County Road becomes a gravel road. Come all the way to see a lot of the Gobi on a transmission tower on end, Pan master said it was our country's foreign radio stations, many of the elite inside job, there are armed police guard, set up a cordon, cordon off the night, someone opened fire. Two hours later, in Akto, a town where to eat, and have a place, there is no place to eat. Coming here will want to eat. Because only until nine at night to eat a second meal. Thought of the way the two remaining lamb dumplings.
After dinner move on, they begin to enter the mountains, and the beautiful scenery of the Pamirs in your eyes began to expand. At this point the road when the good times and bad, China and Pakistan is conducting a comprehensive road maintenance, listening to the master said the United States against terrorism in Afghanistan, China has five divisions forces lost over, since the bad road conditions affect the speed of action, so roads are also re-repair, I remember that reference to news of troop movements on the said matter, which confirmed the master words.
Side of the road is dotted with a number of Uygur villages, from the clothing of view, their life is good. From Lanzhou start seeing the way the mountain, but the Pamir mountains to show another kind of beauty you have not seen before. When he first entered Hill, the roadside dirt mountain gully erosion in vertical and horizontal rain. Like broken like the old site. Gradually became a stone mountain mountain, the mountain grass, and some mountains are red, some blue, and there is an elephant being poured like ink, Pan master said these mountains were produced ore containing various minerals, Therefore, the color is different.
Gez checkpoint in the border inspection certificate, police officers happened to Guangdong who met with Lao Li they are very affectionate, greeting card border in Old Lee did not look right over them:) come gez, snow-capped mountains on the silent in front of you . Road, circling in the mountains, has been upward, just like hide and seek with you, like the tall snow-capped mountains hidden behind the ridge, and so you turn the ridge, the snow-capped mountains again his head hidden in thick clouds. At this time there will be no signs of human habitation on both sides of the road had. In a hillside full of gravel, rocks the size of a truck do not know how to be there, I think if erecting a monument next to, a letter to flying stones, surely there will be many tourists take pictures. Two in the afternoon to the Kara Curry Lake and Muztagata iceberg, the card is the world's highest lake plateau lakes, Muztagata is an iceberg, with snow-capped mountains of the father's reputation, the film tip of the visitors that's where . Card lake 3600 meters above sea level, strenuous exercise, when the breath of. And the white snow-capped mountains is different from the tip of ice Muztagata dark hair with yellow. Card lake there is a Kyrgyz family, a boy walked over, he used unskilled Chinese and we chatted for a while. Card Lake wind great, come here to be a little more wear. Only later did I know, l. of money but also 20 tickets, probably in the forward point where is no need to go there and what to buy tickets.
Most of the travelers come here on the back. We are on the train move on. Motors for about an hour later, both sides of the road began to open up more slowly and also made the green, green more and more concentrated, there has been rangelands and sheep, to the Kirgiz place. In order to storm the house where warm, are using stone, and was short, with no windows. To the county Taxkorgan, here are three hours away from the county, the county seat hidden in the mountain folds on the inside.
On the road to see some foreigners in the road bike ride, admire.
To a township, some school children walking on the streets. And the Kirghiz people do not wear the same Pan master said they were Tajiks. Parking to the children photography, their faces typical of foreigners, information that the Tajik people is the only Caucasian, but the harsh plateau environment for their skin is very rough, see the camera's own, the children are very happy, I would like now is like the printer, and they are very far out, waving back to us.
The time has finally come to the evening Taxkorgan, which is a well-shaped street that only four small county, but also China's most western counties, was surrounded by snow-capped mountains. The road on both sides planted with tall poplars, high street is very clean, there are many on both sides of Sichuan restaurant and hair salon.
Go to Stone photographs, tickets 8, the next day found that, in fact, Tajiks from the next village to go around, do not buy a ticket for. Silhouetted against the snow-capped mountains, the sunset under the Stone special vicissitudes. Due to the plateau, action must be slow, due to bad breaks, coupled with a little altitude sickness, headaches up, okay, not very keen. From the Stone down, running red card to visit their Rapp Pan master came back said that due to the reasons for road, to the red of their Rapp 120 km road, back and forth to 9 hours, (he has just started, I say this, is that above military exercises, tanks, military vehicles were on the top later explained that the reason for the road, this guy), Xiao Huang two people to go back to catch a flight, it seems that this trip to stay a little regrets.
Night live in the Post and Telecommunications Hotel, 100 yuan. Evening out to dinner, night in the county exceptionally quiet road next to a dark alley, is the kind of reaching not see the black pitch-dark, I think is the most lonely Taxkorgan small county has. (I've been to Mohe, Mohe County, more than most of the tower, that is, the edge of the Arctic village of Heilongjiang than towers County), who prawns romance, and you can stay here for a while, if the snow do not close off the mountains out of , I think you certainly have a new understanding of life. Encountered a bus ride up the people, more than eight hours, the road still goes on, seems to chartered is the only option.
The next morning went out to the grasslands of photographs, early morning Tajik village, floating wood fragrance of taste, there is also a heavy smell of cumin. Photographed next to alpine grasslands, photographed a flock of sheep grazing and shoot the kind of Tajiks, this is the best shot of my trip photos. Slowly return to the meal in the evening to Kashi, Kashi in my eyes at this time is a piece of major cities, and people more prosperous, as well as buses. Tower also feel that the county would get bored.
We chartered a Pan master addition to lying outside said was good, the new Jetta, technology is good, traffic cooked, warm service, such as stopping all relied on each, but many take the initiative to stop, even though he is the location of parking ordinary tourist pictures of places. Put the way of the Dao Lang, lonely, you sing a song Dao Lang, he put the tape insert in the first.
The disadvantage is that loves talking about "scripts" the car if there are elegant girls, may not be used, but the price is like treating chartered territory and sovereignty of our country's attitude towards the same. Phone 0998-2983172. 13,070,055,620. In Kashgar to find such a Han Chinese drivers not so easy.
With the Cantonese travel, really depressed, they are fine spring in the back seat all the way, I often guess in the end why they laugh,: (
At night to stay with his Ni Wake, 80 standard rooms, hot water really Dazhen comfortable ah, that is odd in the house found a large spider, killing before venturing outside feel sleep.
22, is the last day of Kashgar in the morning to play Xiangfei Mu 10 per hour. Xiangfei Mu's next to a vast cemetery Uygur, with a low wall separated, and no one in the past, taking photographs when a look at me like Uygur administrators engaged in a professional, gesturing to me said, where people with ordinary Uygurs Zhao Xiang Feimu cemetery to do a better prospect. I am tempted, and touring, they walked out the door, a scenic area there is no Han people, and towards the general direction, and finally went to the cemetery's Tomb of Uygur mostly triangles, many have a hole directly exposed. I stopped in her tracks, dared not go, like half a day Uygur taboo, nor did he recall anything to see her daughter walked over two Uygur, I hastened to nod and smile, thinking that if they ignored me, or to I glare, I will leave the territory, they are also moving in, I laughed, I am relieved. Cemetery in the distance there are several people in the puzzle a new tomb, according to finished, in which a man walked over, my heart a tight, he was just far off at me polite nod, and did not say anything. Three children ran in play, I gave them gum, children put Tangzhi onto the floor, I quickly picked up. Come back to read only know that people who do not believe Islam can not be entered Uygurs cemetery. Uyghur administrators to let me go, it seems custom is changing ah.
Afternoon Kashi Wei tribe wandering streets, which a lot of hand-workshops, the streets from time to time a small mosque, in a department store selling the shop before the more than 10 children huddled together watching cartoons. Han cycling cruise encountered a girl, after a moment later, they saw her, I guess she was lost. Street there are many deep alley, I am a man, dared not go.
Out from the streets, the time is still too early to come to the status of the street across from the Uygur, a great poet of the tomb of Pu-yu Su, typical of Islamic architecture, few tourists. I have found that most prefectural near the place where the Han people.
Get back to its Ni Wake hosting package there, front a Uygur guy asked me, you do catch the plane at night, I said ah, he said that you are a man do, I'll give you find cars, right? I agree, and 21:00 to cook a fat Uygur car drivers to the airport to see fewer and fewer lights on the road, I suddenly a thought, if he had East Turkistan how to do, I stared and stared at outside to see the roadside signs, is not going to the airport, signs are also angry Kashgar, where marked where, that is, the word is not the airport, I was thinking if he was suddenly hooked a small way, I Bump at this time PAN master to me, the atrocities of the East Turkistan terrorists have emerged before our eyes: at least man Slice and Dice, but also thrown into the toilet and thought to see when the newspapers in Xinjiang, Wang Yue full interview with foreign journalists, said that The "1 through 8 months, we have destroyed 22 East Turkistan terrorist organizations!", grew more and more nervous, sure there are other organizations, ah. Careful observation, but fortunately, wide roads, as well as bright lights, the heart a little relief of some, and finally to the airport. Emotion, the master is not East Turkistan ah, I got the time also persuaded him that the time to go back a little slower. 23:00, 3 China Southern Airlines plane landed at Kashi has a small airport, so that you feel the city's vitality. Time the aircraft took off over an hour to Urumqi. To live in Cotton Hotel. At 2 pm the same day the train home.
Writing this stuff, I still do not believe I how to Taxkorgan such a distant and beautiful place.
A worthwhile trip.
