Xi'an for me is a kind familiar place, not only because it came two years ago, but because there are my father's alma mater, Xi'an Jiaotong University, he Shaanxi, Hebei Zheng Dangnian of thirteen years spent youth. For cultural attractions in Xi'an, I have already very familiar, Terracotta Warriors, Huaqing Pool, Tang Gaozong Qianling, Famen Temple, Forest of Stone Tablets, Big Wild Goose Pagoda, Chang Residence, etc..

9 Ri Yue 6 (Xingqi Liu) Ningxia Yinchuan 13 Photo Room Photo Room degrees to 23 degrees
5:40, after 13-hour train journey, came from the ancient city of Xi'an, capital of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region Yinchuan. Yinchuan in the early morning cold room photo should be less than 10 degrees, can be an over 10-point becomes extremely hot, the actual temperature is estimated to reach 30 degrees intake room.

Helan Mountain is China's very few north-south mountain range, mountains east of the Yinchuan Plain, west of the Tengger Desert, north-south along the same when the Red Army Liupanshan terminal. "Holland" in the local language is the meaning of a galloping horse, symbolizing the mountains like a fine horses, like Mercedes-Benz in the Yinchuan plain above.
Learn Yinchuan must first understand the history of a period of more than 1000 years ago, so we came to the well-known Western Xia Mausoleum. Sichuan Qiang tribe, of a party's entry Duobizhanluan northward migration in today's Gansu, Ningxia and to help with the pacification of the Song Dynasty many ethnic minority tribes in the western invasion, thanks to Han Song Dynasty for its meritorious surname "Lee." Xia continuously and quickly conquered the minority powerful, finally, Li Yuanhao (AD 1002-1048) in 28 countries at the age of the establishment of the Western Xia, and Song, Liao Cheng tripod.

Shahu play at noon. L. There are many water amusement items, such as motor boats, parachutes, swimming, etc.; 10 minutes by boat arrived in the lake a sandy cay, the island can be camels, playing sand-boarding, etc.. Sand Lake can be said that due to an oasis in the desert, but also as an oasis in the desert, so we can say that it is an over-point of the Silk Road.
PM to visit the south of Yinchuan City (off) Mosque. Temple of people told me that a lot of things about Muslims: Muslims in the desert oasis and water desire, love cleaning, so more use of white and green, and use the flow of water; each year of the Islamic Eid al-Adha, the devout Muslims go to Mecca Pilgrim, returnees can be in front of his name, "Haji," the word; Muslim women with the clothing and gauze mask except the face and arm outside the body parts, in order to prevent the exposed skin caused by man's evil thoughts.
20:02, after two hours of "daily" navigation to reach the airport in Dunhuang, the sun had just landed horizon.
Town of Dunhuang, four to the main road in the name of Yang Guan constitute the entire city. Imagine, if not the world-famous Mogao Grottoes, there is definitely still did not know from the reality of a small village, because the city is tightly surrounded by the end of the sand dunes and a boundless Gobi. 3 km to the urban areas went to Dunhuang Mountain Villa, imitation of Ming Dynasty architecture, because it is 22 o'clock to, in bringing a moonlight, can not help but think of the film to see the new Dragon Gate Inn, but the relatively large scale. Dunhuang in terms of appearance, or the room structure, is the most novel I have stayed in the hotel.
9 Ri Yue 7 (Xingqi Ri) 14, Dunhuang, Gansu Photo Room Photo Room degrees to 25 degrees this season, the sunrise at 7:10 Dunhuang about Mingsha roof can get up early to see more clearly, because there is no towering the city buildings.
Good morning, fresh air in the desert, but we have not yet adapted to the climate of Gansu, get up, everybody's nose is filled with bloodshot eyes, was quite dry, and cold symptoms accompanied by fever.
5 km away from Dunhuang Mingsha to spend 80 yuan could be riding camels wandering the desert mountain ridges, viewing Crescent Moon Spring, the time is about 2 hours. Whether you are young or elderly, and for the first time into the desert, the mood will definitely be excited indescribable. The local tourist season is from April to October each year, camels carrying twice a day, off-season when the camels are used and cultivation.
Back to the Hills on the way to go to small Leiyin Si. Xuanzang Western Paradise who learn of passing large Leiyin Si. Dalai Lama earlier this year to small Leiyin Si prayers, so that the temple Barghouti's reputation soared.
Afternoon to Mogao Grottoes. 366 AD, Le monks dug Mogao Grottoes, which lasted a thousand years later generations chisel plastic Buddha cave paintings. 492 are found in caves, beautiful murals inside the caves to tourists talk about v with a story after, to heaven, Buddhism Jia Moni Buddha, Jiu Selu ... ... the study and protection of the Mogao Grottoes in the pace of progress is not fast could be signs of destruction everywhere. Wang Yuan ignorance Taoist scriptures will be extremely valuable to sell to foreign merchants; murals were engraved the names and dynasties visitors since then go into history; there are the so-called celebrities, artists, researchers and developers a result of destruction is shocking.
Dunhuang is most famous specialty to Magic Cup is the use made of Qilian mountains and grinding process. "But to make Dragon fly will not Jiaohu MA degree Yinshan" flying expedition that year, when General Li Guang introduction of the apricots, where had been planted 2200 years. Mingsha next to small shops with live processing products, prices much cheaper than the regular store, of course, materials and workmanship is also a slight gap.
"Jun also try to persuade a glass of wine, and west, Yang Guan unprovoked" and said Yang Guan, and "Why should we complain Qiangdi willow, spring is not degree yumenguan," said Jade Gate in Dunhuang. Because of the time on the ground there is no way to go to, she bought a few postcards as a souvenir bar. Yang Guan is the only remaining only the number of residual iron fence wrapped cliff Duanbi, it is difficult when you are busy then the Silk Road Camel has passed, people are crying masi, caravan stream, emissaries between prosperous; yumenguan from the postcards and the web Photos look pretty big difference, and can not judge.
Dunhuang city from the distance to the train station for two hours, along the way is full of desert wasteland, the front is as Meishan-like stretches of Montenegro, and far you can saw a mirage scene. Railway Station in Gansu Province is located in Anxi City liuyuan area, but the management is vested in Xinjiang Railway Bureau. By 20:05 the train went through Hami, Xinjiang Turpan, trains to 870 km / h speed westbound downhill.
9 Ri Yue 8 (Xingqi Yi) Turpan Photo by Room 23 degrees to 42 degrees Photo Room
5:40, the train arrived in Turpan. Xinjiang with Shanghai has two hours time difference, but still use the local Beijing time routines. As the sunshine long time's sake, people's meal time were 8:30,15:00 and 21:00; usually work from 9:30 am to 13:30, afternoon 15:30 to 19:30. Because the Turpan particularly hot, it will be delayed until 17:00 pm on working hours. I often see the local newspaper and show ads that read: "23:00." So, when we arrived at 8:00 the first cross-river ancient city attractions, the scenic area management are yet to get out of bed.
Jahr Lake Paleolithic cross-river ancient city, the Turpan this piece of human activities on the land ahead of schedule to the Ten thousand years ago. The ancient city founded 3,000 years ago, all of the urban structure formed by the original soil dredged, including roads and buildings, 30-meter-deep valley to the city and build a natural willow-shaped barrier. Here was a car divisions States (108 BC to 450 BC) the capital of sounds like "Journey to the West" in a small country. Now-inch remains largely built in the Tang Dynasty, and can be seen in ancient China there is a strong sense of heritage preservation. Buddhism, Buddhist calendar 2547 so far, however, could be here, there are as many signs of Buddhist culture in urban centers on the temple mound sites, remnants of statues looming, it is estimated temple is carved in the Tang Dynasty was only re-imprinting with Buddhism. The early morning sun to the ancient city on a layer of loess more gold-plated, people lamented the vicissitudes of life after civilization and wanted to reveal the exotic ancient mystery.
Turpan has five highest in the country: the highest temperature, climate most dry fruit of the most sweet, the bottom topography, the most beautiful girl.
Karez Xinjiang people's lives, one of the most important resources, all in Xinjiang A total of 1600 multiple, single-Turpan have many 1100. In Xinjiang, a phrase most often heard people talk about is, "Tianshan water is inexhaustible," revealed the immense pride in speech. Understanding of Xinjiang, we must begin to understand the lives of people in Xinjiang, from the understanding of Karez, from the beginning to understand the Tianshan. In Turpan, because the temperature is too high during the day, the room could not stay, so every household will be a delegate at the door of the grape trellis iron beds, you can clearly feel the coolness under the shade of a tree. Turpan human consumption of wood in accordance with wooden agi Karez water is Tal lake Department of excavation in 1200, the total length of 4200 meters, the total number of shaft 1400.
Although the ring and the Thousand-Buddha Grottoes Huoyanshan reputation, in fact, there is nothing to be seen, and only because of "Journey to the West" records, as well as the shooting was made here to become an attraction.
By afternoon, a Uighur Jia Zuoke Grape Valley and enjoy the rich fruits hospitality. Of course, nor is it allows you to free ride, and left, they also paid a courtesy call to pay high prices for their raisins, according to tour guide said, where cheaper than the Grape Valley. However, the Grape Valley scenery to the United States is much more Guli (beautiful girls) who shuttle back and forth Lvying Ying grapes in the forest, the old one piano to Dongbu La pleasant singing folk songs, I am familiar with is the "tip of the visitor," "up to board city girl "and so on. Grape Valley formerly known as peach ditch, less production grapes, the latter due to the Qing Dynasty emperor praised here is a certain sweet and wantonly switched to growing grapes, peaches groove is gradually turned into the present by the Grape Valley.
15:00 departure to Urumqi, on the way up through the well-known board City and Salt Lake, Volkswagen new car shooting on the city board took up a windmill as the background. According to tour guides talked about the city up to board a beautiful girl is purely misrepresentation. Before the troops stationed near here, when the conditions are tough, self-discipline is very strict, hard-to reach the board leave the city saw the opposite sex, a long time the soldiers had not seen the girl's eyes, not congestion. As a result, after a back pass 10, 10 pass 100 of the famous, also specifically wrote the first sweet-sounding folk songs. In fact, up to board the city when a very isolated small town, because they can not contact with the outside world, where the marital status and kinship relations are very disorders, birth, how will future generations to sing the song as beautiful as it? Turpan is about 200 km away from Urumqi, the same way wasteland desert, 2 hours and 20 minutes later, a city of skyscrapers, bustling markets, a modern city in front of the city streets at the end of the east, is covered with thick snow of the Tianshan Mountains .
Urumqi, Uighur "beautiful flat grassland," was intended. Meanwhile, I also learned that Karamay is "oil" means. Urumqi city is divided into seven zones 1 county and the development potential of the most prosperous and most undoubtedly is a new urban area, I live in Tianshan District is the highest concentration of Uighurs living place, to Xinjiang, of course, should not be with the Han people living together again through!. Han Chinese children with a national minority children are learning in their respective schools Zhang.
A fairly long duration of sunshine here, at this season, the sun was setting at about 9:30 to 10:00, between the summer can be as late as 11:00 at the latest. I am still in use in Shanghai, when the rest did not do the time difference to adjust.
9 Ri Yue 9 (Xingqi Er) Urumqi, Xinjiang photo room 18 degrees to 33 degrees intake room away from Urumqi, Heavenly Lake of Tianshan mountain days 1.5 hours by car, at a time when approaching the foot of Tianshan Mountains, see a lot of Kazakhs living in yurt, as well as into the groups of sheep and shepherds on horseback. Because of the Kazakh nation is living a life of riding scattered nomadic shepherd, so that these together only at the yurt tents specially designed for tourists only. Kazakhstan, which means to escape, asylum, this is because of Genghis Khan Kazakh people's ancestors had been expelled the army and the people of Uzbekistan's sake. Kazakh yurt cost is very low, only 5,000 yuan, yurt skeleton prop up with toughness of high Hongliu, easy accessibility, it is also known as the Kazakh nation, "horseback on the nation." If the Kazakh people to come to our guests, remember not to praise their children more than a beautiful cute, because they are jealous of the kids would be afraid of God's good and take away their lives, you may wish to praise how the health of their animals.
Tianshan Tianchi 1980 meters above sea level, where the main peak Bogda Peak 5435 meters above sea level. Accessibility by car along the winding mountain road at the foot of the mountains, riding down the mountain cableway. Tianchi also known as the Jade Pool, according to legend is the Queen Mother of the pond taking a bath, at different altitudes the East and West Tianchi Tianchi two small Tien Chi, the legend is the Queen Mother's face and feet areas. Long days poolside with a lush ancient elm, as Tianchi an odd, because usually elm could not grow above 1,000 meters above sea level. Today, people put the old elm tree the roots of the horizontal location as Tianchi. Tianchi-capped mountains in the east, the north is barren rocks, the south side of the dense spruce. The original spruce forest, Tianshan eagle wings soaring. Here are the Kazakh Autonomous Region, visitors can ride the shuttle with the trees and the broad alpine grassland above; local Kazakh children will be wearing beautiful costumes, or dress up strange holding a small lamb, or both hands and Dongbu La photo with tourists, The most interesting is the one wearing the blue shirts of the children, mouth tender issued by the voice repeating, "One, two, three, eggplant," amused visitors straight music. Because Tianchi water is made of Tianshan snow melted, the water temperature is very low, even if the flow to the foot of the mountains, feeling cold, or ice, perhaps higher bottom temperature, so the pool will be some fish. The most famous to the number of Tianshan Tianshan snow lotus, and in the scenic area can be seen everywhere. According to tour guide, the real Tianshan snow lotus grows in the cliff of more than 2800 meters above sea level, while some of the scenic area are growing at an altitude of 1,000 meters about Shek Lin.
Originally did not understand why we have arranged an afternoon visit the Grand Bazaar, until it plunged into its own after the tour to understand the reasoning and intention. "Paco" in Victoria is the language where the meaning of country markets, Grand Bazaar is the largest one Urumqi, specializing in minority government-run trade goods fairs. Inside the market, Hotan jade and silk, Turkish hand-made copper tin bottles, Pakistan and Belgium Si Tan, Russia's lantern, as well as all ethnic groups in various parts of Xinjiang native supplies and dazzling array of everything. I think that the whole of China is only the most distinctive tourist souvenirs here, most notably to bring some back, after all, the culture of the Han people seen too many stereotyped minority feel that something is more novel. Is estimated that all first-time to the Grand Bazaar of people do not get out two or three hours is, often came out to begin with peers to exchange shopping experience, and then back to the panic buying, and so back and forth several times and tireless.
21:30 pm (night in Shanghai, say oh), to the "sudden Kristin" restaurant dining, there are wonderful national theatrical performances, dishes are quite rich. Spirits high, and the band can also be accompanied by dancing, dance is very popular in Xinjiang. Kazakh artists whistle blowing "Moscow on the outskirts of the evening," people feel like being in a foreign country; hula hoop performances incorporate elements of folk dance and its artistic, in my humble opinion than the Shanghai Pudong "Mermaids," Ouyang Bei Ni inside the high -一些.
Here, no matter which nation, have a strong desire for Urumqi, like to build in the city's prosperity, clean, orderly, and it can be seen from many of the details. For example, hotels will help to welcome the guests take the initiative to get rid of the hawkers who sell goods; put snack night market operators will be early in the laying of his own stall in the clean up of the large sheet of plastic on the floor, to prevent grease and waste falling in the streets ... ...
In Shanghai, Xinjiang is simply impossible to listen to music, because do not like. Can be here, stretch the Western Regions of the customs, ears these tunes have become a Sound Of Nature, so I had to love the "Turpan grapes," "up to board the city girl," and "Blue Prairie." To the street of small video stores who inquire about the Xinjiang now popular songs, so he bought a Erkin singing Uighur CD.
9 Ri Yue 10 (Xingqi San) Urumqi, Xinjiang photo room 21 degrees to 34 degrees, Nanshan Pasture intake room is a living management of the Kazakh national alpine grasslands, visitors come here mainly for riding. To spend 35 yuan, you can ride through the mind-boggling to reach the valley deep in the rugged mountain waterfall; spend 25 yuan, you can ride on a flat grassland slopes. In order to play a thoroughly enjoyed themselves, I have come to the copies of packages, to experience the thrills of a times. Frustration that well-trained horse is almost a foreign country does not listen to my customer's instructions, self-managed from the provisions of the route along the left, in the grasslands spent 10 minutes after receiving the command, like as I walk aimlessly to carrying back.
After the return to the urban area, you can also visit the beautiful city of Urumqi, or go to the most iconic of Urumqi Hongshan, Hongta, here was the highest place in Urumqi. Grand Bazaar nearby supermarket is also a good place for Uighur, because there are not many tourist attractions and where to buy cheap things, people will really use in Xinjiang for daily use, take home a real native of Xinjiang.
Riding the return of aircraft 17:55. Shanghai 3003 kilometers away from Urumqi, aircraft altitude of 10,000 m, flight speed of 888 kilometers / hour, 3 hours 45 minutes flight time, approaches Tianshan, Qilian Mountains, Liupanshan, Qinling Yellow River and Yangtze River.
