Talk about Pirahong, Xinjiang

I didn't know that China is vast until I arrived in Xinjiang. "Southern Xinjiang sees customs and northern Xinjiang sees scenery" is the best portrayal of Xinjiang. In northern Xinjiang, you can see vigorous. No matter how deep the mountain is, there are shepherds, and no matter how far the grassland is, there are cattle and sheep.

The beauty of northern Xinjiang lies in its vastness as a fairyland on earth and its diverse nationalities, religions and cultures. This is a place suitable for measuring the world with your own legs. Northern Xinjiang, which means Kanas in the mountains and lakes grassland, is beautiful and mysterious: every autumn, it is picturesque. The blue sky, golden Woods, colorful lakes, beautiful scenery, high sky and poetic scenery are quite similar to those on the shores of Lake Geneva, Switzerland. It is called "the land of God".

Ancient villages and mysterious legends have aroused many people's endless yearning; Ili is the most fertile land of aquatic plants in Xinjiang, surrounded by mountains on three sides, with open west, glacier development and abundant rain and snow. The four mountains radiating eastward are like the skeletons of giants, and the Ili River flows towards the sunset, which breeds this fertile land and vast grassland, and the old and new nomadic cultures alternate. Kazakhs and Tuwa people living in northern Xinjiang are simple herders, and some of them are isolated from the world.

There is a Kazakh proverb: there must be a god of happiness among forty people, and their simple tradition has created their hospitality. The reputation of a fairyland on earth in northern Xinjiang comes from scenery as well as people.

Kanas, the autumn in northern Xinjiang, is a dreamy autumn. Feel free to take postcards, and the scenery is everywhere. It is surrounded by the quietly flowing blue Kanas River, a golden forest dancing with the wind, blue sky, golden mountains, silver water and shoals. Some people say that this is God's palette, and some people say that this is God's private land.

The most beautiful autumn colors in Kanas are harmonious, and the layers of forests are colorful. It is a typical primitive natural ecological scenery, virgin forests and log huts, quietly and leisurely decorated with harmony, smoke curling up and morning mist faint. What a paradise! There are simple and kind villagers here, who still adhere to the ancient tradition, and the enthusiasm of Kazakhs is unforgettable.

When the flowers bloom every year, it is a purple ocean, wandering in the fragrant sea of flowers, letting the waves drift endlessly. No matter how hot it is in summer, you won't feel hot here. Looking around, I can see purple and a pleasing and beautiful oil painting. People can't help but have the illusion that Provence is just around the corner.

Nalati has been a famous pasture since ancient times, with crisscrossed rivers, flat valleys, towering peaks and dense forests. Every year from June to September, all kinds of wild flowers on the grassland are full of hills and grass slopes, red, yellow, blue and colorful, which decorate the grassland beautifully. Nadam convention is held on the grassland every year, and all participants feel the enthusiasm of the grassland people.

Sailimu Lake, which was called "the sea of tranquility in the west" in ancient times, is the last place visited by the warm and humid air in the Atlantic Ocean, and is called "the last tear in the Atlantic Ocean". The clear lake reflects the blue sky and jade on this mountain. Every winter, the snow water surges and condenses, and the oval lake is embedded in the iceberg snowfield, just like the green jade on the white and soft silk floss.

Local herdsmen in Kanas have always said that there is a giant "water monster" in the lake, which often drags horses drinking water by the lake into the water. Since the discovery of the lake monster decades ago, the legend about its appearance has been constant. The old people of the lakeside tribe insisted that it was the Lake Saint and their patron saint. Different opinions have their own ways. Only by experiencing Kanas and along the ancient river bank can we explore the truth of the legend.

Answer all questions

The best tourist season is June, 65438+ 10. The temperature is suitable at this time (some scenic spots will be closed in winter). In June, you can go to Yili to see the lavender sea of flowers. In July and August, you can enjoy the vast grassland with rich aquatic plants. In September and June, Kanas is more beautiful at 65438+ 10. However, it should be noted that the temperature in Xinjiang is quite different in the morning and evening. In particular, the average annual temperature in Kanas is only 4℃, which can be described as "wearing cotton-padded jacket in the morning and eating watermelon on the stove in the afternoon".

The vast majority of ethnic compatriots are friendly. There are many teams going to Xinjiang now, and the safety is relatively guaranteed. The overall safety factor of northern Xinjiang is higher than that of other places in the autonomous region, and they are generally hospitable. Ethnic minorities are United, but don't touch sensitive issues easily. What needs attention is to be friendly when communicating with them and pay attention to your manners, and others will naturally reciprocate.

According to the different modes of personal travel, the difference is still relatively large, and transportation is the most important part of tourism expenditure in northern Xinjiang. Self-driving and car rental are the most comprehensive and best, but the cost is also more expensive. The cost of hitchhiking is lower and the intensity is higher, but it has a more complete feeling. Generally, the price of Zhou Bianyou in northern Xinjiang ranges from 4000 to 6000, and some scenic spots can evade tickets ~

65438+ 10 September is the golden period of Kanas tourism. There are many people going to shoot autumn scenery, so you'd better make a reservation in advance. It should be noted that some youth hostels do not accept reservations and adopt the policy of paying in advance or being on call. Although there are many tourists, the scenic spots in northern Xinjiang are usually very large. Except for the observation deck where some people are concentrated, it is unlikely that people can't move.

The diet in northern Xinjiang is mainly halal, and there are many meat products and dairy products with rich varieties. Moreover, there are many people who believe in Islam, and few people eat pork except Tuwa people, so "pig" is also one of the taboos here. There are many kinds of food in northern Xinjiang. Generally speaking, you can't miss mutton kebabs, pilaf, pulling kernels, barbecue, roasted buns, naan, roasted whole sheep, mutton offal, oil tower, spicy red skin, Tintin fried noodles, minced meat noodles, oily meat noodles, saute spicy chicken, Ilima intestines and smoked horse meat.

Northern Xinjiang has a wide range and a long drive between scenic spots. The most suitable modes of transportation are car rental and self-driving. Xinjiang's highway network extends in all directions and the road conditions are generally good. In addition to the scenic spots, the scenery on both sides of the northern Xinjiang highway is also unique, such as the desert Gobi and the large Populus euphratica forest, which can only be seen by the highway. If you want to charter a long-distance bus, you'd better find a good companion in advance in a crowded city. Some scenic spots not only have poor communication signals, but also have no platform to release public news in time, so it is best not to waste too much time and energy.

Some scenic spots, because of their remote geographical location, are affected by traffic and other factors, and the food and beverage prices are relatively expensive. For example, a bowl of noodles in Kanas Scenic Area costs 40 to 50 yuan, and a bowl of milk tea costs at least 10 yuan. Other prices are roughly the same as those of general scenic spots. The accommodation price in Kanas Scenic Area will increase in August 8- 10/0.

Some routes in northern Xinjiang are very suitable for hiking, provided that time and energy permit, but novices who are not fully prepared had better not try rashly. Recommend the following three hiking routes: Gadenyu-Kanas-Harmony Hiking; Walk through Xinyuan wild fruit forest to Bayinbuluke town; Borg arrives at Tianchi intersection. Kanas is the most suitable hiking route, with moderate difficulty, picturesque scenery on both sides, a wide variety of birds, and perhaps a chance to explore the mysterious lake monster!
