The time difference between Xinjiang and Shanghai, two hours, inadvertently, the beginning and end of each day have occurred in the 24-hour a day inside.
In Xinjiang, the first day of morning, pops in my Qiaochuang sound awakened. Readily looked at watch, is 7:00 am, but the days are still dark gray. Curtain opened, I would not help to call up, morning in the vast expanse of whiteness of a color, then pops the original was actually Xuela issued in the windowsill.
Tianshan Tianchi departure to the way we were told that the earthquake E Taile, Kanas trip may be canceled. The trip to the northern frontier, Kanas is the highlight of the trip, a sudden turn of events, so I am a bit flawless.
The car the first line, disappeared in the scene outside the window is almost no change by the end of September is already late autumn of Xinjiang. He deep-colored land, ups and downs, not long plants, occasionally seen feeding in which the thin sheep. Tour guide said the sheep here do not smell of mutton flavor, taste delicious.
Bogda mountain road can be seen, snow-covered peak, shading and affordable, in the absence of the sun sky, like a painting hanging in the sky.
Urumqi, the snow is the first in a decade, half a month earlier than usual. Which I grew up in the south for the first time insight of what is called snow. The farther from the city center, the more thick snow accumulation. Exposure in the sun, the mountains of the nightside and the yang side, showing a different Wei-an and lines. Looked at the endless mountains, I feel it is inexplicably silent loneliness.
Finally parked, but would also like to ride on the Heavenly Lake CMB or cable car ride, I heard that this is for security reasons. The uphill road 9 18 bend, if not familiar with the road, most likely out of the situation. We are winding down the mountain on the middle right there is a small lake, tour guides say that it was Queen Mother footbath. Surface of the water like a mirror, not the least bit fold, green and very clear bottoming out. At that moment, I am naturally reminded Mr. Zhu Ziqing had said a word: lovely green ah, what means can I describe you? According to legend, the Jade Emperor has failed to keep commitments one year after the Queen Mother good-bye, making Queen Mother thoughts illness, in tears all day long, then the resulting drop of poly-Tianshan Tianchi made. After listening, I think the Tianshan Tianchi the water must be five flavors and taste.
Sun is high, the snow gradually melted. Tianchi should feel like a col, the Sure enough, the next too light, we have to walk. Built up a good road along both sides into a piece of ancient pine and cypress are the snow accumulation must have a 5 cm thick. Snow water gurgling down along the road, in addition to careful to walk next to no time at GU. At this point I really miss my wardrobe movement inside the pair of waterproof boots.
As soon as companions exclaimed, I looked up a moment of feeling, I can only use the word can be described as a shock. Blue sky, holy mountains, Tianchi on so quietly, quietly lay there. Triangular lake, surrounded by mountains on both sides, into a neat piece of ancient pine and cypress stands like a guard of soldiers. After thousands of years of sedimentation at this time has witnessed a peaceful Tianchi. So I stood in such a pure world, if oblivious of self-forgetting, forget the complicated and earthly.
Heavenly Lake Village can also watch cruise, round-trip is about 45 minutes. Because of time, we did not take place. Of course, the cold weather is also a reason. I have put all my clothes, but still a little shiver.
We have chosen to take the rope down the mountain, Tianchi the ropeway is open air. Homeopathy-down, I heard the whistling of the wind, during which water is also accompanied by subtle sound Xunsheng and hope, snow water is gurgling was originally rolled, the flow of the earth, to the moist earth.
The way back in our invitation, guides gladly began to sing "Let's a good place in Xinjiang." Although not yet to experience the customs of ethnic minorities, but I have deeply felt the beauty of Xinjiang.
Local people said the presence of bred in northern Xinjiang Tianshan people. Is not it? The snow year-round irrigation, a broad expanse of land, feeding the people. The Turpan karizi are thus came into being. The karizi museum, we have seen its development process. This is an ancient and exotic water conservancy facilities. According to my understanding is that a water diversion project, through underground culverts will be sent to the Tianshan mountains melted snow everywhere. Culverts, the working people a hand chisel cutting of a tap tap made at intervals of a few meters also have to wells. However, I forgot to ask in the role well. I do not know the people not for the convenience of water and set up?
The karizi museum impressed me most was the beautiful Uighur dancers, they Nongmeidayan, Deep's eyes do not have some exotic style, in the brighter the backdrop of the national costumes, especially touching. I stare at the chair Yonglan's reliance on them, either I have the inclination of the companions said that, I also do not a god! Hesitated a moment, I have to dispel the idea and their photo. Case is the difference between heaven and earth, then I have to restore self-confidence when the do? ?
In Turpan, we also went to the Grape Valley, a very commercial place. To know what is the dry room; watched a county yamen sites. The team leader's suggestion, we invite assume personal command of an old man for us there, snapping the Dong Bula, sang the "tip of the visitors," manager crashed dance under the sun on the joy of the Grape Valley Shude.
Idle waiting for the driver, I turned into the home of the local people, and finally saw the movie to see, like Pakistan, as in accordance with classic family house, a patio, a cool shop. Cool low table covered with still stood, stood above a lot of fresh fruit. One tour group was there to rest, visitors are eating fruit, while bargaining. Would like to enter the room to see, but I am afraid of bold but to accept this a foot. Owners aware of my thoughts, enthusiastic invited me into the room, but this time, peer's call, so I had to leave. Going car and I listen to the people of Taiwan with the car, said that the house is very pretty, uh, ethnic ornaments.
Ancient City of Gaochang is that the days of the journey only gives me the mood of the place. Riding donkey, in rugged yellow ground dangling, looking ahead, a yellowish brown. After 1000 years of wind and rain, those walls still stand tall forward, faintly visible windows, lintels, a testament to the endless vicissitudes of life. Soon I will prosper, I will perish reverse, it is a true portrayal of Ancient City of Gaochang.
Donkey send us to worship before the square, which is a rather good one to protect. Prior to the city being destroyed, here is the seat of their power. Standing on the highest office, but also shows the distance Flaming Mountains, He red mountain soil, under the blue sky eye-catching. Retained from the existing layout of view, imagine where the original is a bustling city, but now in ruins, For v. speechless. House is really not see him starting, but no dinner guests that he, fleet he was building collapsed. I asked the guide why so many years have passed, it can leave traces of this? Tour guide said that it and the local drought, dry weather.
Therefore, there is a Tang Xuan Zang preaching in the city ruins. Tour guide said that there is very efficacious wish. Thus, we two hands together, eyes closed, facing the wall, the mouth mutter prayers. When I opened his eyes when he suddenly ask ourselves, if realized, I would like to come here would also like to do? Blink of an eye to see companion and saw that she was still silently, so quietly stood behind her, for her to stay in a shadow.
In accordance with our original plan, our whole journey in four days time is of the Kanas come and go on the road and play there. In a clear knowledge of the abolition of this line, we have two whereabouts and flew to Kashgar, or take the train to Dunhuang. Taking into account the future we will go to Kanas, and then take the opportunity in southern Xinjiang is inevitable, so we have chosen to go to Dunhuang. Urumqi, Dunhuang train time for 12 hours. The trains are starting the evening. Ever since, we have the time in Urumqi suddenly become very abundant. Originally thought that do not have time to go erdaoqiao the market, and now actually have a good day to stroll.
Erdaoqiao is actually an indoor market, free market, without any characteristics of the layout. Where they are selling something with national characteristics, such as the Uighur cap, Si Tan, scarves, toys, musical instruments, Yingjisha knife, hand-to Xi Hu, vases and so on. Stroll around in a circle, I do not think that really have the quality of the national characteristics of things, not to mention some things are fake. Listening tour guide said the real Yingjisha Daoxue iron drunk, we should do a few hundred dollars. In the market, spent a dozen dollars you can buy one. Xi Hu, vases probably looks the best, and unfortunately, no matter how I do not buy a start with, I feel really rough. If you buy souvenirs can only be Lex, but not a closer look, then I would prefer not to. Follow the guide's advice, we do not have to buy raisins in Turpan, where the expensive price than the market. A companion in the market to buy a lot of raisins and apricot (common name is called longevity fruit). For me, delighted to buy a lot of different styles of large and small scarf. Can also stroll the entire market is only on the first floor, second floor, barely opened, no lease out a lot of shops.
Coincidentally, where I met a movie star Chang Hui-mei. Companion in buying tapestry, I look around, accidentally discovered that people around me a little bit familiar, carefully look at the original one is Chang Hui-mei. She is so thin, dark skin, and the lack of the kind of brilliance on the screen. Maybe this time she had just come in, no one onlookers. Later, in another shopping time, has been crowded forward to see her. Last resort, the market has sent the security of her shop to buy things that sealed up. Many people heard of Chang Hui-mei in the market, have been anxious to rush to read and post responses are strikingly similar, then the humble! The more crowded the more limited will be, she's surrounded by the bodyguards hurried away. This is the star of the price, she only stayed 20 minutes.
Erdaoqiao opposite is an international Grand Bazaar. Who are familiar with, said there do not matter whether, without any features. Here is also the Uygur people's neighborhood, where you can really feel the atmosphere of some ethnic minorities. There are many characteristics of snacks here. Only where the health situation, for each tourist speaking, no one wants to enjoy. Here all call banquet style dining hall, Uygur people like to put in the midday feast. We looked into a moment to hear the all-dimensional language, I'm like in a foreign country.
That evening, we went to Dunhuang by train, arrived at the station liuyuan when Tiangang began to pale. Dunhuang Railway Station from the city of more than an hour away, the sun slowly rising on our left side. I looked at it out of the horizon, the earth will be covered with golden yellow.
Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes and the City is due to be famous and developed city. The city's hotel industry is well developed. Because in addition to scenic places, that is, on the road, so I did not style this city feel real.
Mingsha, let me have a true desert feeling. In the desert, we travel by camel, swinging for a while. Standing halfway up the mountain to see Crescent Moon panorama, we thought the Crescent Moon Spring in the kind of environment exists is a miracle. However, in the invasion of sand, it will be there for how long?
Mingsha there is an entertainment, sand-boarding. Seem breathtaking, but it really is sliding time, feels really good. You'd know that this is the case, I really do not give myself a half-day in the mountains and ideological work it! As the road to go down than up the hill difficult, I was forced to grit one's teeth was a slide down to go. Hey, feel be properly. Line to the middle, I have also raised their hands to go first, my companion took a photo.
The history museum in the Mogao Grottoes, I saw those who flee their villages in the treasures inside of my eyes as much liquid in the flow. The whole process of looking at the exhibits, I know what a heartache, I am a little sorry for the Mogao Grottoes. All along, here is my heart's a cultural temple. Today, remnants of dilapidated, dilapidated statues, as well as the damage caused by natural weathering, the temple of my heart to sweep all gone. To compensate, I bought a book to commemorate the 100 anniversary of the discovery of Dunhuang Cangjing Dong released album, "Dunhuang." All the regret that only such compensation.
Sunset is the time to leave. At this time a kind of twilight in the Mogao Grottoes different kind of solemnity. Sit around the stone bench, I am looking forward to the Mogao Grottoes of the panorama, can not help but a heavy heart. Mogao Grottoes of my subversion it all for himself. The kind of difficult to use language to describe the feeling, just like hard-won and loved ones together, and they found that he had not your mind kind of person. Withdraw to leave when inexplicably accept defeat to a rise in my heart, after all, traces remain in the hearts of not so easily be erased. The accident, the rush to leave the inter-I. I know I will never come even close.
As before departure, return tickets booked, so we still need to return to Urumqi. In the return journey the train, I opened the "Dunhuang" This album, careful composition, soft lines, a perfect pattern 11 that spring to my eyes, let my heart a good burst of admiration. At this point, I can not regret more than buy the Heart. Otherwise, I will give it to a friend not yet been to Dunhuang, because the taste of the Dunhuang album can make friends from my Dunhuang suffered psychological torture.
Back to Urumqi, we paused for adjustment, that is chartered to the center of the Asian continent. Center of the continent of Asia (the Asian Heart) is a focal point for land the whole of Asia, we agreed that since there is a place, then the Asians is a must in the center of the tread Jijiao fiercely.
Center of the continent of Asia is a big sign of A-. On both sides at the entrance, but also display the symbol of folk of all countries in Asia. Xu is during the holiday season, there are flight demonstrations, adding to the fraction of the whole park excitement ... ...
Want to go home, and at the time I packed my things, I found this line in Xinjiang, there is a trace of regret, perhaps I do not really enjoy the magnificent scenery in northern Xinjiang and can not experience the southern border of the national style owes something. At that moment, I said to myself, I will come back, definitely.
By-laws in mind: to come back has been more than a month now put in Xinjiang write every day, a kind of look back days breakdown of feeling. So, I put this article named "a few days."
