From July 31 to August 15, we have a three to Tianshui, Dunhuang, Turpan, Urumqi, Korla, Jiayuguan, Lanzhou and Xining, etc. play. In each place, in order to save time, play a few more spots, we are chartering a taxi, wherever he went, received the services of our taxi drivers are very warm and thoughtful, so that we play very pleased with ease of mind. three of them the driver left us with a very deep impression, and thoughtful services, in particular, and we take their car does have a feel at home in the future if the opportunity to re-visit old haunt, we will once again ask them to serve us, when we The tour guides, they are Dunhuang Chi-yin-based, the Turpan Tsai Wan Jian, Korla's Jun Fan.
At 10:30 on August 2, the three of us train to Dunhuang. The so-called Dunhuang Railway Station, in fact, the original liuyuan stations away from Dunhuang in the urban areas there are more than 130 km (116 km on the map identification), to take a car across the vast Gobi need to travel one and a half hours to reach the Dunhuang City. After the train, several taxi drivers surrounded up, scrambled for our service, after several rounds of discussions later, we chose to pray for yen-based Santana Taxi (Car Number: Gan F-14210, phone: 13,830,706,285, small Linktone :0937-3871655).
We pray for the driver in order to eliminate the safety concerns, the initiative to the local taxi Vehicle Administration Office of the complaints telephone number to us and let us call to tell his family that if a half-hour did not send us safely Dunhuang city, our family can immediately telephoned complaints, so we safely boarded his taxi, to Dunhuang city move forward. Along the way, pray for the driver warm, detailed introduction to various tourist attractions in Dunhuang Shi Di, and we have arranged for a day and a half to travel itinerary, but also take the initiative to give us a business card from the card, we learn that he is not only a driver, but also guides, no wonder he was various tourist attractions in Dunhuang City, well known, very familiar. Chat walked, unknowingly crossing 130 kilometers of desert, arrived at Dunhuang. We immediately called his family, the report safe. The Chi drivers referrals, we have moved into Tianhe Hotel, 2:30 pm, pray for the driver time to meet us, led us to have a tour of the Mogao Grottoes, Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Moon Spring and 9:00 p.m. Back to the Milky Way Guest House (due to time difference reasons, the night had just come). As the chartered tasted the sweetness of, we immediately find a nearby Internet cafe on the information on the situation in Turpan and found two girls in Shanghai Ctrip website that travels north-west in 2002, they introduced the Turpan's a good taxi driver -- - Tsai Wan-Jian, (license plate number: New T-10319, phone: 13,095,040,319), so we immediately get in touch with him to discuss matters relating to Turpan chartered travel.
8:00 the next day, pray for the driver's wife Kaijulaijie us, we have sent to the Jade Gate, the Han Great Wall, Yang Guan, Western Thousand-Buddha Grottoes, White Horse Pagoda play, most of the journey in the vast Gobi Desert in a boundless at the end of , only the highway extends to the horizon straight. In fact, when there are no roads no longer valid, in the vast Gobi Desert in parallel N cars, no problems on the highway just played the role of the direction of a guide. Compared with the southeast, northwest sparsely populated, and the people warm and hospitable, very honest, at the Dunhuang, we are completely flying to express their feelings, tour attractions, experience the Northwest's local customs, unconsciously, we have completed the trip to Dunhuang and returned to the Dunhuang railway station (where our camera batteries and cell phone batteries were all without electricity, and fits of overzealous thoroughly enjoyed themselves!), round trip, more than 600 kilometers, pray really hard being the driver of the couple. We gratefully with them to bid farewell to each other blessings.
Dunhuang Railway Station attached to the Urumqi Railway Bureau, there are direct trains travel Turpan, however, we do not know the tourist season tickets tension, and so on back to the railway station when it was found not buy tickets, fortunately, is that we are able to buy a soft sleeper train K889 times can be regarded as paid tuition, hoping my friends went to Dunhuang in the future be sure to learn from this lesson.
At 20:30 on August 3, and we ride on the K889 plays tourist train to Turpan, of course, do not forget to Xiaocai driver called, let him come to the railway station to meet us (not been to Xinjiang, Xinjiang, people think was a mess and We were also not think so, they still book a taxi in advance as above), by the way so he arranged for us a place to recharge. Pro 5:30 The next day morning, we arrived in Turpan, the sky a dark, without a glimmer of light, Xiao Cai already waiting at the station, the three of us accepted the lessons of Dunhuang would like to buy a ticket to Urumqi, Xiao Cai said with a smile not necessary, close away from Urumqi, Turpan, only 200 kilometers every day to and from tourist bus, the price is not expensive, only 25 yuan, so we accepted his proposal to travel to urban areas (more than 40 kilometers Oh), is to catch up with roads, uneven pavement, bumps and hollows, as well as the ditch more than 40 kilometers down the road actually go 1 hour.
To reach the city, the days have started bright. Xinjiang and the east there are 2-hour time difference, and we three went to Xiao Cai charge for us to prepare the land, connected to the charger after the three of us went to city plaza stroll. (And Xiao Cai do, Oh, he has somewhere to go to sleep quickly, and later we learned that he was to meet us, the Provisional morning went to the station four points, while the eastern part of Xinjiang's nothing better than delayed 2 hours including, of course sleeping.) in the square, we are surprised, 7 o'clock, and why so few people on the square? Moreover, many cold drinks, fruit stall at a stall were all still asleep, and even the breakfast shop had not opened, has given us a surprise, the original at this time, the eastern part of the people has already begun a busy day, while Xinjiang's friends are still dream of them, they began to work, but 9:00, 19:30 work, than in the eastern delayed 2 hours. Hard to find a breakfast shop, the Uighur friend opened, and Muslim, the three of us very carefully, and the Tantoutannao went in, ha ha! We are actually the first, second and third guests, although we do not know Uighur language, but there are attendant Hui, Chinese and fluent in three of us a good taste of the Uighur Muslim breakfast meal.
After breakfast, had eight more people on the square up more slowly, the entire city is moving up, our travel should also begun. Back to the charge of the Department, Xiao Cai are still asleep, we are awakened by the arrival of him. Turpan tour began.
Xiao Cai driving a car, have led us to the Flaming Mountains, the flame on the desert soil Arts Museum, Ancient City of Gaochang, Grape Valley, Karez, Sugong Tower six spots fun, ah! Feels very good. Huoyanshan heat waves, locals say, at noon in the wall, baked buns, I think also people can be to bake. Ancient City of Gaochang's "donkey" and rattled, although the "Donkey" also called "the", but he's not the same and the city's TAXI Oh, but Gao and therefore most of the staff are Uighurs in the city, and we share A little disorder, and some fly in the ointment. Grape Valley grapes, unexpectedly sweet, eats also want to eat, climb the vine, I do not want to down a single word, "the United States." Of course, ultimately, cantaloupe, ha ha! ! ! Not to say that够味enough sweet. Around noon, the day had been hot, down to a few meters deep, Karez, suddenly felt inside and outside are two different worlds, quietly flowing landscapes to Qanats days under the nice and cool mountain Juyi Peng days into the mouth, the whole body at once refreshing anomaly , sweet days of the landscape seems to penetrate every inch of the body skin, good comfortable ah! Totally different from the eastern mountains and rivers, do not have some flavor.
Thanks to the good wizard, Xiao Cai, and we quickly swam to these places. In order to give us cost savings, Xiao Cai suggested that we take a tourist bus on the same day to Urumqi. 5 pm and more, we cook the bus to go to Urumqi, and Xiao Cai goodbye.
In Urumqi - the world's oceans farthest away from the city, we are a DIY (Oh, of course, at the local university students guidance), the People's Park in the city west of the start point of a tour bus, sitting coaches to Tianchi play. Tianshan Heavenly Lake is on top of a pool formed by melting snow after the clear natural lake, beautiful scenery along the way, there is no pollution of the water from time to time can still see the formation of Tianchi waterfall and mountain stream, western Taishan quite a feeling. This time, we have just the beauty of the Tianshan Mountains have a shallow experience. In the Tianchi around, we saw the Uighur tent, which the tourists drinking goat's milk, eating Kaoquan Yang, singing and dancing, enjoying the Great Northwest style. In the sky, we also see a long absence, eagle, flying in the mountains the most outstanding in all things. No wonder the Hawks for the Uighur people look upon the gods, and death are also willing to dedicate themselves to hawk abdomen, so that the soul of the sky as eagles soar into the heaven, so in Xinjiang, and only people of high status burial after death, in order to enter heaven. Ordinary people can go to hell for.
Some people say that less than Xinjiang, did not know that China's big. I do have this feeling, in the eyes of students, considered close to six or seven hundred kilometers, he suggested we go to "close" in Korla play. Oh, 700 km, only from Urumqi to Korla, Xinjiang is also the center of turn. Really incredible ah! Korla, Xinjiang bayan gol Mongolia autonomous prefecture of the capital city of bayan gol Mongolia autonomous prefecture short Bavaria, an area of more than 50 million square kilometers, there are three or four provinces in eastern area, is the largest district-level administrative regions. Korla living center, and south is the famous Taklamakan playing desert, north of the Tianshan Mountains is a well-known.
At 10:30 on August 6, we take the 5806 Train from Urumqi, Korla reached. Because there is no advance on the Internet to find a suitable taxi drivers, in order to prevent the recurrence of the situation in Dunhuang, we had bought a 12-point night the next day the train to Jiayuguan in Gansu (later know that this is an error). Hotel near the train station to eat lunch, let us look for the driver boss. Quickly, we have hired the boss for a driver, he called Jun Fan, Han, Jin had some discussion, we found that various parts of Xinjiang Van drivers are very familiar with the tourist attractions, but also the distance between the various attractions are clear, traffic is also very understanding, Insider, so we decided to pack his car, to Egret Island and Swan Lake in the Tianshan overhead play. And from more than 1,000 km, and mostly mountain. After everything is in order, we immediately put their luggage trunk and started the trip to Bavaria.
Egret Island because it is named egret habitat from the Korla close, more than 130km bar (compared with 700 kilometers, near enough). Is a part of the desert next to the Bosten Lake, and there is no buffer between the desert, nature is really wonderful ah. At this time the temperature is 30 degrees, we have set for the cooling air-conditioned car. After all, in August, China is in the summer.
Egret Island swim, we drove to the Swan Lake is located in the town where the Bayinbuluke near the Ili, one-way more than 390 km, from the days of the foot began to climb, almost all sand mountain, bumpy. But the danger out of beauty, I am totally beautiful scenery along the Tianshan Mountains has attracted the Tianshan mountainside above into films as films alpine meadow, green, cattle sheep everywhere, the middle of a winding mountain flow and days before, like paradise in general. Here are the cattle and sheep can drink natural mineral water Oh, people from the east than we are to enjoy the treatment is also high, not surprising to have Xinjiang Yili pure milk, the prestigious national brands.
At this point the car outside the temperature has dropped to 12 degrees or so, yielding a completely Jiangnan March. Until 20:30, Tianshan night has not yet come, but we are already beyond the small plate (Tianshan, hillside), to advance the Peak, the temperature dropped sharply, we have to be brought all the clothes to wear, the air-conditioning set to Heating, curled up in the car, slowly fell asleep. The night also in unconsciously fell, and the vehicle can hear the wolf cry sometimes, feeling terrified, Fan driver told us that the Tianshan where it is necessary to have sheep, wolf, and wolves eat anything, it only afraid Shepherd. So, in the herdsmen's home, Shepherd is considered an important member of the family is a loyal family property guardian. There was a shepherd night the Big Dipper 7 wolf, has not lost a sheep, and bitten to death by a 4 jump, jumping the bite of the three wolves, his last died, this master heard the sound of fighting, after holding a shotgun to come to help out However, not help, a loyal shepherd last looked at a host, it forever shut his eyes. Of course, the rest of the three wolves were killed with shotguns and the owner. Loss of a few owners willing to sacrifice this goat rather than a faithful shepherd. Of course, this family practice was a shepherd. And that the bodies of seven wolves Slice and Dice been placed in the fire, reduced to ashes.
Tianshan Mountains are the mountain road, though known as a day to and from Korla Swan Lake and the bus, but very, very little, if along the way waiting for a train, and so come hungry wolves may be. It is proposed that we should go to Tian Shan car rental. This is the safest.
We 16:00 Bailuzhou start actually walked eight hours, until 12:30 to Bayinbuluke. After a small plate, after the three of us are all the heart hanging to the throats. A little sense of adventure. In order to allay our fears, the small van driver with fervor and assurance, he said that Xinjiang all the tourist attractions, he has been, in order to familiar with the roads, and he even went to explore the way empty, he served a lot of tourists, had several discussions with contact him to contact him, he was the belief is this: Let us shake hands, will always be friends! His unashamed about his family, talked about his upbringing, vivid descriptions of the different characteristics and the various attractions around the local customs, laughing, so that we forget the fear and fatigue.
Small van driver took us to a familiar hotel, price is surprisingly cheap, a bed 15 yuan a night, we have asked for a four beds in the United States and the United States of slept, put heart back into a re-Xin Wo.
The next morning, we drove to the Swan Lake, way more than 60 kilometers, can still see snow on top of the Tianshan, in August the winter ah! Oh, both days being experienced four seasons in one place. Swan Lake is really beautiful, with a typical alpine meadow, distribution of the grassland on the unique mist, so that Swan Lake were shrouded in a mystery, and occasionally hear the swans singing while far off to see a touch of water color, I feel in front of us, But that is an illusion, a small van to tell us that we have more than 10 kilometers away from the road, the more we look inside to go, the more swamps, there is no local herdsmen as our guide, we can not reach the Swan Lake. Unfortunately, we're afraid the delay train, had to abandon plans to further explore the Swan Lake to start the day before the vote buying behavior of regret.
10:00, we began to drive back Korla, along the way, the small fan interest to introduce the Korla's economic development process and the current situation, at 6 pm, we're back to Korla, by the way went to the suburbs Tiemenguan. In the remaining more than two hours of free time, a small FAN Sheng love to invite us to his house guest, engaged in small talk, even made souvenirs.
In the train station, we finally got an inventory item, he has always stayed with us, until we have a lot of items before he left, very responsible. In this regard, we very much appreciate. 23:55, we have embarked on a 1068 times (Korla to Xi'an) train left the Korla, to Jiayuguan.
