D6 Bayan Township - Swan Lake - narat
Get up early, we leave for Swan Lake, where the grass has been all green, fresh air, the fragrance exudes the soil. Beautiful grassland is not a specific scene, but a feeling that is the kind of distant non-marginal presented by a sense of depth and distance out of view. Looking around us, far from the peaks of the Tianshan Mountains, blue sky, green grass, a trickle of white sheep, red, brown yurt, as well as all over the yellow and purple flowers, all were all the early morning grasslands filled with a faint white mist shrouded the sun seemed to be especially soft, thin fog disrupted the morning light, making the outline of a variety of colors become blurred, like ink, like playing with each other echoes overlap with each other .
More bad way to go into the prairie began to have asphalt roads, and later on all the pressure out of carriage is a tractor or a dirt road, and from time to time also pit, and some streams to wade across. Beyond that opened on the lost years, and the grasslands in fact seems to smooth the ups and downs continue, because there is no clear road signs and reference of luck in the direction toward the Swan Lake open, winding roads, one would not know to open where to go. In this country the second largest grassland Xiazhuan had a little worried after some of us, and stopped at a yurt before attempting to ask for directions, the results have not yet been ferocious shepherd near the drive out of this guy, and pursue our nearly one kilometer, but also almost bite bumper cars. Just do not know what to do, we once again feel the pastoral simplicity, a motorcycle herders face over, and we stopped him ask for directions, he spoke in Chinese is not good, the grasslands have not made any coordinates, and eventually he just turned the front of took us to go more than 10 kilometers, until a straight without any forks in the road of dirt Road ago, that we turned around and waved back.
Along this road, we quickly went up a hill, over the hill, and finally to the Swan Lake. Swan Lake is not large tracts of water, is actually a lot of swamp reed pond depressions and the composition of an area of more than 1000 square km, an altitude of 2,500 meters. Let the season is the swan of the incubation period precisely, but the little swans, and perhaps this year's cold season, bar, riding into the swamp, we saw two swans leisurely lying on the water's edge, perhaps they are hatchery, in order not to disturb them we are only looked at a distance, there is no enter.
The best place to see Swan Lake on a hill, there is a pavilion, in the hill below, we saw a lot of different birds, there is a very short wings, fly up and seems to be difficult, we must energetically flap their wings Caixing. But the most attracted me is the hill on a large carving, very large, first I thought it was a big stone, when I was close to when it wings flew from my head, shocked me, it can extend its wings, as the King to patrol its territory, like flying in the sky will never look at another flap wings, gray-black body, the edge of a circle of white wings feathers, wingspan large, in the wind seems leisurely and overbearing.
From Swan Lake, on the 218 national highway, along the Tianshan Mountains to the west north west forward. Higher and higher above sea level, the scene was still a wide range of the mountain mist Meng Meng ago, visibility is low, then it is heavy rain Piaopo car forward slowly along the winding road began to climb Aiken Da Osaka, more to the on the contrary, little rain, and began to attend the roadside snow, rain slowly turned into snow, began as a small snow, and later became a snow film, there is Joann's largest palm-size, fell the sound of the windows on the pops . At this point all ice and snow along the roadsides, and near the lateral side of the road, stood a lot of great anti-wind and snow with a large network of maintenance of way, which looks fairly spectacular, snow-covered rock in the cracks and crannies, open a lot of yellow, purple and red flowers. Here occasionally be able to see otter, but much less than was Taxkorgan.
Cautious on the hilltop, he saw a Mongolian man-made mound, top, festooned with colored ribbons, in the vast expanse of whiteness of the snow world, especially the lonely desolate. Climbed over the highest Aiken Da Sakamoto's Office, entered Gong Nice forest, and there not only failed to rain and snow, but quite bright, large tracts of forest mixed with dazzling grass, the grass in full bloom colors of flowers, well distant groups of cattle and sheep leisurely eating grass, and shepherd the sun while lying on the hillside. All the way down the mountain, trees become increasingly dense, but rare in sheep, and traffic becomes more flat, the National Road winding along the river all the way向那Pilates Gong Nice extension, roadside forests make the air becomes moist cool, if not rushing to go there before dark Pilates really want to go walk the woods by the river section.
18:00, arriving narat town, narat relatively busy a lot, hotels, restaurants, various shops are a lot of people a lot. Mainly Mongolian and Hui.
Note:
1. Narat stay 30 yuan, with a bathroom, but not a bath. There are good, the price a little bit more expensive.
2. Similarly, a meal is not cheap, but taste good, and some specialties, but expensive.
3. Swan Lake viewing platform has rented a horse Mongolian children, to Kanjia, 30 yuan / two round-trip wetlands, riding down the mountain in some danger, relatively steep hill, but some people may be holding Harry.
4. Into the grassland, in particular, Swan Lake, it is best to find another jeep, though your point, but the speed is faster, and safe, so that if cars stuck in the water or falling into the pit, a lot of trouble, there are no more than 10 kilometers radius of individual .
