What about Hami, a city known as the hometown of songs and dances, the hometown of melons and fruits, the throat of the western regions and the gateway to Xinjiang?

Living in the city, we seem to be locked in a box with full functions but no scenery. After a long time, I am tired, too. I want to find a vast grassland and look up at the sky. Xinjiang is our destination this time. There are vast grasslands, continuous mountains and rivers, fragrant fruits and hospitable people here.

On this trip to Xinjiang, my wife and I chose the first stop? Hami. Historians speculate that the first stop of Xuanzang's mission to the Western Regions was Hami, and Fan Lihua's voyage to the West was also here. Under the rotation of the wheel of history, what is this small border town now? Please join us in starting this trip to go on road trip in the west.

DAY 1: Chengdu? Qomul

It takes about two and a half hours to fly from Chengdu. It was June when I went, and it was already after eight o'clock in the evening when I got off the plane. But the big sun in Xinjiang is still hanging brightly in the air, and there is no intention of setting.

Restaurant recommendation

The first stop is to punch in at the TOP 1 restaurant in Hami? Chalbagh gourmet restaurant?

Per capita: 74 yuan

Recommended dishes: mutton skewers, saute spicy chicken, pilaf, noodles, shelf meat, yogurt and milk tea.

There is a joke on the internet that how to tell which one is local and which one is foreigner without talking in restaurants in Xinjiang depends on how many vegetarian dishes are on the table. People in Xinjiang eat sheep and buy them.

Accommodation: There are dozens to hundreds of hotels in Hami. On the whole, about 300-600 hotels are Samsung standards.
