Wei-Song of the snow-capped mountains, expansive desert and dies of the grassland,-clear lakes, like a dolphin pearl inlaid in Xinjiang, a vast and beautiful piece of land, in the bright sunlight shining under different light refraction. In the vast piece of land, there is a shining light colorful place, and that is the Turpan Basin, Xinjiang, one of the three basins. September 29, 2003, the weather was fine, and we party, together with the four drivers left in nearly noon drove to Turpan Urumqi. Surely everyone Turpan are not too familiar with this place and know where the grapes, I remember that a child learned a text, writing is the Turpan Grape Valley, which is the place to be today. Grape Valley 200 kilometers away from Urumqi, the journey takes two and a half hours by car. Since we arrived in Turpan, Xinjiang's first attraction, so along the way are very excited, grassland scenery along the way to the main. May be due to the relationship between the season, we are in the autumn in October to Xinjiang, there is no grass to see the wind and see the cattle and sheep at the end of the scene, very pity. Quite a few flocks of sheep and cattle, however, there are rare camel base, so long as we have people living in cities, where seen Zhefan scene, so long as there is a cattle or flock of sheep passing car waves of cheers broke out would be like people are yearning for natural. Urumqi is not far away by car, we have gone through a very strange place - Dabancheng wind power plant. Where there are no factories, no power generation equipment, to see is if they had neat rows of white windmills, a high of about 60 meters, composed by the three windmill blades head, which rows of windmills on the stands so tall on both sides of the road , you drive along for quite some only see the windmill go away, it really spectacular. May all of us and I went to Xinjiang, the same as before, heard the first Wang Luobin Dabancheng Then there's "Dabancheng girl," but thought there is still such Dabancheng scene, because it is unexpected, so feel strange.
Along the way there are the endless scenery, we so excited about the way forward to reach the destination - Grape Valley. Arrival here is 3,4 o'clock in the afternoon, a natural first for lunch, by the way, the local Uygur and Han Chinese people use a different time system than the Han Chinese Uygur time using GMT slowly for two hours, so in fact that When only 2 o'clock, lunch is not too late. Chiba lunch, me and my two children climbed Uygur their own vine and saw Montreal's basking in the grapes, some even before they dry. Subsequently, we will enter the scenic area, tickets are 40 yuan 1, it is interesting is that if a person holding a driver's license can enjoy half-price concession, and our passion to make the trip there is a tremendous Hui girl, we just ate lunch at her there, She can be entered free of charge, by the way to do look at our tour guides. In the scenic area there is a Grape Valley Museum, there will be a guide for you to explain, visit all lap, I have this little thing on the grapes have a better overall understanding. Know that grapes are functionally divided into three types - food, medical, brewing use. We usually eat light is divided into dozens of kinds of raisins on, like the so-called "horse breast (also known as a man incense)," Scent of a Woman, red roses, yellow roses and so on. And air-dry methods, raisins are also different in nature, there are nuclear grapes hanging in the trees are generally dry nature, the nature of heat. After drying off the case, the nature of the cold. "Nuclear-free white" that is the most cool of raisins. In the Grape Valley is not only delicious to eat the grapes, but also know a lot about the knowledge of grape is really a worthwhile trip.
Then we started back, passing the first attraction is "Karez", by definition, a port well, The difference is that this is a huge water diversion project. Hundreds of thousands of years, the Tian Shan snow is through the introduction of such a wells in the homes of ordinary people. Leave "Karez", we went to the last stop of the day - "Jiaohegucheng." Here nature can be said to have been abandoned by a city, through a block of residual Citrus medica Duanbi, vaguely past prosperity can be seen here. As we got there, almost dusk, sunset, afterglow lit, and add more to this city several XIAORAN color. Roaming Among them, forget to use the most advanced digital cameras to record this most ancient civilizations.
Forgot to mention, before reaching the Grape Valley, we are in a very famous "Flaming Mountains" stay in the moment. On camels, slowly walking in a seat between the red mountain. 7,8 month of each year, where the maximum temperature can reach 50 degrees Celsius, when the truly worthy of the name "Flaming Mountains."
It's that whole day, we saw three kinds of Turpan Basin, earth colors, red Huoyanshan, green, Grape Valley, yellow of the city, how can one is colorful, gorgeous incomparable.
View of the same trip, but the experience different, these are the Turpan I swim after a bit of feelings, hopes to meet with travel-loving netizens share. There are other attractions on Travels in Xinjiang will be gradually released, which is truly concerned about.
