Itinerary: Urumqi - Heavenly Lake - Palette Town - exactly soft chart (transliteration) (ulungur and the National Road)
8:45 GMT, Sagittarius complete, we proceed from Urumqi, Xinjiang really start our journey. The road straight in Xinjiang, an extension of the land out, the road flanked by tall poplars and tall and straight into the film into a piece of corn, the one waiting for harvest spectacular.
The first leg of our trip Heavenly Lake, Urumqi starting from about one and a half hours later, in this is known as "do not regret it, go to a more regrets" "commercial spots." Tickets are 60 yuan, the students can not buy a ticket (in fact, the whole journey can be few places to buy student tickets, I do not understand why the state's policy does not work here), we pack the car and the Municipal Bureau of Tourism a certain extent, to drive the master and the way people do communicate, cars sent directly to the days of our pool, not only saving money, everyone's rope, but also eliminates the need, we were required to take a mountain. (Time too early, but the fixed cars such as cableways and tourist who had been lined up in a long queue, most of tours guests)
Under the snow-capped mountains in the distance vision is very clear, the pine tree into a tower-like suit of armor down from the hill, as escort fighters, Tianchi the water is still very clean, you can see some of what the lake, it quietly lying group Hill's arms, for there are no alternative but to look at groups of tourists on the hillside and lakeside barren mountain. Trample it is already as usual, beautiful scenery that if they become points, not from the ground and produces lots of frustration. Tianchi at this time is not in itself a particular color, I am sure China can find more than its outstanding alpine lakes, it needs no elaboration.
The second station is colorful city come from the Tianchi needs nearly four-hour drive, road conditions were good the first half, but since the road after the colorful city of oil is the number of admirers step to dirt road by now. Our car bumps forward and jumped up, stirring up dust that do not know how many, seven turn around to eight destination. Obviously, this is not fully developed areas, an iron gate shape, a thin rope stopped the door, a slightly worn-out tents, a lanky guy, a 30 yuan tickets for an amazing to see the landscape.
But 10 minutes before a car trip, the most typical Yardang Landform are displayed in our eyes. Everyone exclaimed Mother Nature, I did not know it was Rock Hill, or soil, or sand hill mountain, in front of each piece ranges from the top in the end even has a red, yellow, gray level, or left-o-hair blue, my right bluish, it seems a good painting in tone color, a thousand words can not describe, only by virtue of the efficacy of DC, is recorded. As far as we know, millions of years ago, here is a river's bed, crustal movement makes the terrain elevation, river became a mountain, but the wind, or violent, or gently polished, finally successfully in today's spectacle. Now the protection is poor, do not know the tourists a few years later is not so lucky, as I also spotted this Mingyan moving mountains.
Surprises still to come, we are very familiar with the driver right here, he decided to take us to see the "petrified wood", which is on the wood billion years ago, because all kinds of chance, into a stone, is extremely rare. There are trees throughout the early years, but recently a number of thieves, the state conducted a blockade of this region to protect the general tourists would be no chance to see. We can see and then the scene was still a lot of difference, and only some scattered after the destruction of the tree (stone) of the, and the ordinary sand mixed together, no longer the majesty of the year, perhaps the depths of the desert Others completed the side, I think we Shui Yebie to disturb its dream of millions of years may be better to clear.
Palette Town to continue to walk out of the road on both sides, and previously had been a completely different view of the road in the desolate Gobi Desert in the spread and spread, occasionally 12 Huangyangchuan appear in everyone's field of vision when aroused everyone's excited, but unfortunately this kinds of life wizard too little, too little. The driver excitedly talking about how delicious the meat of Mongolian gazelle, I just think the hearts of the bitterness of a kind that is not clear.
7:30, the sun began to fall, the gradual convergence of bright light and slowly shrunk to a scarlet of the ball. Palette Town, we linger too long, that they can not finish today's trip. We ulungur and the National Road at the junction of a small town off their feet, in a small roadside restaurant meals, 10 individuals 120, it can not be considered expensive. The proprietress is a more than 30-year-old Han Chinese, looks can be said to be beautiful, but the Western Regions of the wind was too fierce, early in her face carved signs. When we arrived, saw her leaning in the door and let the afterglow of sunset paved the look of, let me not help think of New Dragon Gate Inn in Maggie Cheung's elegant demeanor.
* 1, look up the sky at night filled the l'etoile legible, composed of countless stars in the Galaxy even saw a clear eye, a young age to large, perhaps this is the most beautiful I have ever seen in the night sky.
* 2, we also saw this ass on the road, the driver is very lucky that we had visitors.
