Kanas galaxy, tell me about it.

If you have seen the northern Xinjiang in autumn, you will definitely remember the beautiful mountains and forests. The milky blue river flows through the colorful forest. I thought I saw the most beautiful moment in northern Xinjiang. ...

Until I met the winter in northern Xinjiang, I wanted to show you the unknown side of northern Xinjiang. ...

Lambing in spring, fattening in summer, mating in autumn and mating in winter. The life of a sheep is a shepherd's year. What about the life of a shepherd? This home that stretches for thousands of miles, the most secret and tiny fold on the earth, the narrowest and most fragile place to live ... Youth, love and hope are all silent.

-winter pasture in Li Juan.

Someone read Winter Ranch and said:

"After reading" Winter Ranch ",the biggest feeling is to realize the narrowness of the past. It turns out that nomadic life is not as free, vast, unrestrained and carefree as we thought before. The life of a real nomadic people is a step-by-step process, following the laws and traditions of nature, slowly and steadily experiencing the test of cold, heat and summer, and experiencing monotony and loneliness day after day in one long road and endless wasteland. "

According to the book, that year was the last year when sheep entered the winter nest, and this scene was recorded by the author. With the advancement of herdsmen's settlement project, the once nomadic life is slowly disappearing, and the once nomadic people are gradually living a settled life.

And this ancient, barren and vast pasture in the book will gradually be abandoned and forgotten by people ... In this ancient nomadic people, the true and magnificent, turbulent and legendary stories that have happened will gradually become the memories of the older generation of tribes. ...

Every year from mid-June165438+February to mid-June 65438+February, Kazakh herders in Altay, Xinjiang will drive a large number of livestock to winter pastures through Beitun City. Millions of livestock have embarked on a long journey to fight for the "winter nest", which has become a unique landscape in northern Xinjiang in winter.

On the vast Gobi desert, herders braved the heavy snow and the temperature of MINUS 20 degrees day and night, which made Kazakh herders develop the habit of eating meat. After a long silent trek, a bowl of hot milk tea was swallowed, and the hard work of the day was temporarily alleviated.

Silent winter pastures, barren land, silent sky, isolated loneliness surround you, and the barren wilderness seems to have everything.

Legend has it that the best pasture is like this: where "milk flows like a river, and larks nest and hatch eggs on sheep"-full of peace and abundance.

The herdsmen's family is crowded in a 20-square-meter-deep underground nest, but the temporary residence can also be decorated warmly everywhere, doing housework, herding cattle and sheep, chatting and drinking tea around the stove. This is the life of winter pasture, but hard work is also a kind of calm happiness ... When I close this book, my mind is full of winter in northern Xinjiang, quiet ice and snow forests, wooden houses and desert winter nests. ...

Sure enough, there are always souls and bodies on the road. After reading "Ranch in Winter", I really want to go to northern Xinjiang in winter!

Yining swan spring

In northern Xinjiang, see the vast world:

In winter, there are independent wooden houses in northern Xinjiang; Unique and rare natural wonders-icicles dazzle in the cold night; There is the eye of Lan Bing, like the charming Sailimu Lake; Yining has a swan spring filled with fairy gas; There is a desert Populus euphratica in the snowy silence; There is Anji sea grand canyon, full of vibrato and red; There is also a top ski resort-Silk Road Ski Resort.

Kanas Harmony Section (Altay region) entered the ice and snow fantasy forest, leaving the world an independent snow country village; Sailimu Lake in Yining (Yining area) has entered the dreamy swan wonderland, the Lan Bing snowfield in Sailimu, the rich texture of the snow-covered Anjihai Grand Canyon and the tenderness of Populus euphratica in Junggar desert. The natural scenery is by no means monotonous, capturing all the ice and snow elements in winter.

The mountain roads in Kanas area are rugged, dense and snowy, and the whole journey is cross-country. You will breathe pure cold, as pure as Li Juan's words in Winter Ranch.

In northern Xinjiang, eating meat:

Gathered in front of the fire like herders, barbecue, milk tea, meat noodles, mutton skewers, large plates of chicken, shelf meat and naan cakes were enthusiastically served ... This is the sense of ritual that every meal in northern Xinjiang should have in winter.

In northern Xinjiang, besides the Milky Way, there are icicles on cold nights:

Cold night lamp post is a kind of ice halo phenomenon as beautiful as aurora, which is formed by the reflection of light from ice crystals in the atmosphere. Under the reflection mechanism of ice crystals, city street lamps, neon lights, car headlights, etc. They may all turn into colored light columns like a sword pointing to the sky, connecting the ground and the sky.

Northern Xinjiang is vast and lonely in winter, and the crops in winter are less noisy and return to the original natural state. Like a freehand brushwork of China ink painting, simple and elegant.

Kanas is inaccessible in winter, and few people find its beauty in winter. The snow in the wooden house in the forest is like frost, and the thick snow hangs on the branches, and the whole picture is modulated into pure Klein blue.

In front of such northern Xinjiang, I can't say more praise.

I can only greedily record all this with my eyes.

Rivers, lakes, grasslands and vast virgin forests.

Covered with snow.

Harmony village, Baihaba village and other villages have all changed into winter clothes.

Never lose to Shirakawa, Japan!

If you can't go to the North Pole this winter, go to Xinjiang!
