Date: September 27 itinerary: Bayinbuluke - across the Tianshan (size Longchi) - Aksu
7:20, alarm clock rang, I had to wake up in a dazed, yesterday, poor sleep, do not know whether there are a total of three hours of the completion of sleep. Today, how I'm going out looked looked. (Funny Oh, electricity to a)
September 27, 2003, it is hard to forget a day, since the Palestinian town of departure, the clock points to 8:20 am Beijing time, our car out of the township, but 5 minutes, there is snow falling from the sky, gloomy days , thick cloud, indicates that the snow will continue. About 20 minutes later, it was the side of the road waving, parking and asked the original tires they are broken, the driver of technology not, has always been good repair. Same horizon travelers, Qi You are not the truth bit of help? Toss for half an hour, the tire repaired, and their direction and, like us, will naturally join our queue, we became a small convoy of three cars. Repair, there are white SANTANA vehicles passing from us, but also concern that an exchange of courtesies, and then speeding away.
More big snow, the whole entire Duo Duo falling from the sky, wind is also great, I have never experienced such a bone-chilling in September. Half an hour later, some for the road in front of waving, parking, view, turned out to be just over the past SANTANA tumbling to the street. The windshield had separated from the body, then the train some deformation of a tire burst, in general, not a model, but the car still shows that the most fortunate of all who have no right, at least not what the surface of blood flow into a river scene. We immediately put into relief and the repair process, four in three men and one woman, all in the Aftermath of seemed a bit, know what to do. We are fortunate to stopped a car heading the direction of Palestinian towns, first a back injury seems to have the boys back, and then we work hard to get back on the road car, and the other two drove the car back to Pakistan dilapidated town, the only one of the girls were with us before the trip.
Car caught again in the general dull as last night, the driver drove carefully, the snow a little smaller, on entering the area after the snow line stood a wooden "Mountain roads are dangerous, prohibited from entering, and offenders peril" , we have no choice but to move forward.
Elevation table shows the car has more than 3000 meters, two looked as a whole a vast expanse of whiteness. We are still on the road continued up a winding mountain, road conditions are very poor, the pit filled with stagnant water. Our speed had dropped to 30KM / H levels, through the snow tunnel to avoid the car to the highest point, and start down the mountain. Down the road even more dangerous, icy road is very slippery, Hill Road, narrow and does not collapse when the stones block Hill. My head hurts a little bit and did not know was slept well last night, or a manifestation of mountain sickness, or even a little scared bar.
With the lower altitude, we saw the green trees, a large hillside near the Kazakh tribe Longchi tiny villages, we have done a little break here and say a sound, ethnic Kazakh noodles do is unacceptable to most people . Large and small Longchi Tianshan mountainside two pearl green water. We are fortunate to see a Mute swan, its S-shaped silhouette reflection in the lake, the noble and elegant and will reveal the boundless loneliness. Hillside below the road is still good to go, and often see the sky falling boulder mountain pass is a huge Huokou Zachu a mark, or the way Linhe lateral collapse of unknown causes.
Tianshan Grand Canyon is another bright spot in today's journey, rich red like a huge mountain has been split by an ax-like, dark gray days sandwiched between the peaks becomes all the more dull colors. After a heavy rain here yesterday, under, the valley is not a good way to go, we pounded the gravel, across the rain-washed out of a small ravine to the deep gorge at exploration. From the bottom looking up, it is estimated there are always two hundred meters high bar, intervals are a sign stating that there is here is what kind of landscape, unfortunately I can not even tell most of them are only lying camel camel bee is a bit vague The look like. Valley recently found a Thousand Buddha Caves, which is where we should focus on to visit. Walk about 40 minutes, but also several hundred rank climbing stairs, and finally came before the hole. A glance at heart, somewhat disappointed, the so-called Thousand-Buddha Grottoes only a cave, covering an area, but 15, 6 square. Hole left, right, and opposite were painted statues, large and small, can have thousands of add it, a pity that Lord Buddha's face a few have suffered a man-made destruction, but the remaining part of the line can still be seen exquisite use of color very soft. According to the staff of the hole to see, almost all the Thousand Buddha Caves in Xinjiang, the painted pottery, and many Buddha shared a cave, while 1000 refers only to quantity, not necessarily thousands of concepts. That and I imagine hundreds of thousands of shrines are far worse position.
Canyon is very long, but also a lot of branches Valley, all the tour would take nearly 5 hours End time reasons, we are well and thus turn back the. But the whole valley quite imposing, that is spectacular.
Out the canyon, we continued on our way, 9:30, we finally arrived at Aksu guest house, today nearly 13 hours by car so that everyone Yaosuanbeiteng night must sleep very right.
* 1 Akzo small guest house near the home, and Liang Pi teppanyaki restaurant, the taste really did not have to say, it is recommended you go tasting.
