Xinjiang is a province with extremely rich natural landscape in northwest China, with a huge and complete ecological chain. The climate and environment in Xinjiang have changed obviously, giving tourists a dreamy illusion of distortion and a psychedelic feeling.
go on road trip is nothing more than the following expenses: food, accommodation, transportation, play (tickets) and miscellaneous expenses. I will report them separately. 1, food and beverage
Actually, when driving out of go on road trip, we should first talk about doing things, but we Chinese people are used to talking about eating first. Food is the most important thing for the people, so we talk about eating first. We are two people (husband and wife) in go on road trip, not an RV or a bed car (we don't cook and eat by ourselves). We all eat restaurants, eat local characteristics and stay in hotels, which is neither a luxury tour nor a poor tour, or a popular go on road trip.
We haven't eaten dinner for several years because we have passed the age of knowing our destiny. As for the reason why we can be healthy without eating dinner, you can find out on the Internet, so we won't be here. So we eat two meals every day, breakfast and lunch, and eat dried fruits for dinner. We also maintain this lifestyle when we go out to go on road trip, but as we all know, go on road trip usually drives on the road at noon, so at noon.
in this way, it takes 35 days from departure to return, and the cost of eating is 3,314 yuan, with an average of 94.4 yuan per day. This meal fee is not high, there is a reason. Xinjiang cuisine is mainly hand-grabbed rice, mixed noodles, hand-grabbed mutton, kebabs, leg of lamb, mutton hot pot, baked buns and naan cakes, etc. These foods are really delicious. < P > But as you can see, these foods are mainly meat, with high fat and protein content. It is no problem to eat for one or two meals, and I'm afraid it will be unbearable to eat for several days.
So we eat vegetarian food at intervals to keep a balance. The most expensive meal is 271 yuan, a beef hotpot in Tashkurgan County, and the cheapest meal is 21 yuan's meal in Nalati Town for several days. Why do we only eat in 21 yuan every day? This is related to the itinerary, which will be explained in the "line" at the back.
The low cost of meals in Xinjiang is also beyond our expectation. Before traveling, we learned that there are many delicious foods in Xinjiang, and the price of meals is higher than that in the mainland. Unexpectedly, our expenses in this respect are far lower than those in other parts of China. The average cost of meals in other parts of China is 1.31 to 1.51 yuan per day, but it is less than 1.111 yuan per day in Xinjiang, with a total cost of 3,314 yuan.
I've traveled all over the motherland except Tibet and Taiwan Province Province, and it's simply ungrounded to talk about food outside Sichuan.
Here, I would like to recommend several delicious foods for everyone to taste: hand-grabbed mutton, kebabs, beef/mutton hotpot, and naan must be eaten. Buy a medium-sized naan, which is delicious. Don't buy a big one, which is not very delicious. Just grab a meal with your hand. 2. Accommodation Hotel
We have never slept in the car at night in go on road trip. We have stayed in the car all day and slept in the car at night. I think this is not a trip but a flight. Our accommodation standards are mainly based on domestic mid-range chain hotels, such as * Maple and * Shore, where rooms are clean and tidy, beds are comfortable and prices are appropriate.
In some places in China, we have stayed in hotels with historical feelings, regardless of the price, such as a state guesthouse, a flat hotel, a nest holiday paradise, etc., and the accommodation fee is 1,811 to 2,411 yuan per night, because I think that traveling includes experiencing historical and emotional attractions, buildings and hotels, which is the experience and significance of life.
some places also live in homestays and inns. The total accommodation cost of this trip to Xinjiang is 6,228 yuan, with an average of 1.83 yuan per day. Among them, staying in the farm house of Nalati Town for several days is 1.111 yuan per day, which is related to the "trip". Let's talk about it in the "trip". This time, I was compensated by a website for one day's accommodation fee of 1.98 yuan.
The reason is that the hotel I booked didn't have a room, but the website charged my room rate, and later refunded my room rate and compensated me according to the room rate. I am a diamond customer of a website, and I have a good reputation. I have been booking rooms and air tickets on this website for more than ten years.
Therefore, there are advantages in terms of price, such as changing the date, checking out temporarily, giving priority to upgrading rooms, etc. The most expensive accommodation for this trip to Xinjiang is 336 yuan per night. It is a Uighur-style homestay with ethnic characteristics in Turpan, and the accommodation cost is not high because there is no hotel with special historical significance in Xinjiang. 3. Transportation fare
We started from Dujiangyan, Sichuan with two people in one car. The car is a German brand SUV, 2.1T, with full-time four-wheel drive. It is 11 years old and has traveled a mileage of 193,111 kilometers when we set out. I dare to drive such an old car to travel to Xinjiang so far because my car is maintained by myself. I know all the problems.
Except for the three northeastern provinces and Hainan Island, which used to rent a car by air, all other places in the country took it. It was just like Bai Longma on the way to the Western Heaven in Tang Sanzang. My wife couldn't drive and didn't have a driver's license, so I drove everywhere alone.
We set out on May 28th and returned to Dujiangyan on July 1th, which lasted for 35 days, with a total mileage of 12,563 kilometers. After arriving in Urumqi, we went north to the World ghost city Scenic Area in Karamay. Because the most beautiful season in Kanas Lake is autumn, it is totally meaningless to go there in summer, so we didn't go north. After playing ghost city, we went south to Kuitun City and then westward to Yi.
The beautiful scenery in Xinjiang is on the road, and the grassland scenery doesn't need to be seen in the scenic spot at all. There are grasslands outside the scenic spot, and there are grasslands inside the scenic spot. We met several tourists who complained that the scenery they saw in a scenic spot was not as good as that outside, so I talked with netizens online before leaving and learned more about it after I arrived in Xinjiang, so I didn't go to the scenic spot that charged high-priced tickets, saving a lot of ticket fees.
We were informed on the Internet that Duku Highway was opened to traffic on June 3rd, and we arrived in Nalati Town on June 2nd. We planned to take the northern section of Duku Highway first, and then the southern section of Duku Highway to southern Xinjiang. However, we were informed that the northern section (dushanzi area) and the southern section (Kuche) of Duku Highway were opened to traffic on June 6th, and then all of them were opened to traffic. Ok.
Just wait in Nalati town. I will find a farmhouse in Nalati town to stay, and negotiate with my boss. Because I will stay for four days, I will pay the accommodation fee of RMB 111 per day. This farmhouse has a very good environment, with a huge yard, many vegetables and flowers planted, tea tables for drinking and enjoying the cool, swing hammocks, and parking in the huge yard is certainly not a problem.
Every day, we pick vegetables in the vegetable field in the yard and cook by ourselves, and we eat fresh vegetables picked by farmers. It feels completely different. Of course, the accommodation conditions in the farmhouse can't be compared with those in hotels, and the basic facilities are available. This farmhouse is very clean, just because we are afraid that there will be a group tour, and we will yell when there are many people, completely ignoring others. Everyone understands the quality of some people.
I have been here for four days, and I didn't go to 581 yuan until I checked out before I left, because our boss only paid us 21 yuan money every time we picked vegetables and cooked. It's really a conscience price. The boss is really kind, and his younger brother is a tourist and has traveled all over Xinjiang.
I asked him everything I didn't know. Looking back on my trip to Xinjiang, it was this younger brother who was the most eloquent. He had a super good attitude, high quality, and much knowledge and experience. I will definitely visit their yard again when I go to Xinjiang next time. It was a pleasant surprise to live in this farmhouse this time!
No.15 was informed that No.16 could not be opened to traffic because of the collapse of a snow cave in the northern section of Duku Highway. In desperation, No.16 had to take a detour to Korla City and then to Kuqa City, although it took four days in vain.
But my car and I got a rest and got to know the kind people in this farmhouse. It was really worth it! Some netizens who want to repair in Nalati Town want to know about this farmhouse and trust me privately, so I won't say it publicly here, lest everyone think I am a trustee.
The trip is divided into fuel cost and expressway toll. I traveled for 12,563 kilometers, and the fuel cost was 6,522.22 yuan, 1.52 yuan per kilometer. This old car of mine really saves fuel, and it consumes 7 liters of fuel when driving for 111 kilometers. It is really a good partner, good friend and good family!
The toll in expressway is 2744.34 yuan, with an average of 1.22 yuan per kilometer, which includes all the road mileage of expressway, national highway, provincial highway, county road and township road. Why do you want to take county road and township road? I explained in my other article. If you want to know, you can search my other article. The toll in expressway in Xinjiang is lower than that in the mainland, about 1. 4. Recreation
We bought tickets in seven scenic spots in Xinjiang, including ghost city, Sailimu Lake and Tianshan Grand Canyon, with a total consumption of 822 yuan. The low ticket consumption is due to the impassability of the northern section of Duku Highway, which affects the trip. I didn't blindly follow the trend to see the grassland scenic spot at a high price and didn't go to Kanas Lake. I still have to walk next time. I always have to pay what I should pay, and I always have to spend what I should spend. 5. Other expenses
This part includes snacks, drinking water, souvenirs and so on. What needs to be explained here is that we didn't buy local fruits to eat in Xinjiang, because the temperature difference between day and night in Xinjiang is very large, the sunshine time during the day is very long (more than ten hours), the climate is very dry, and the water content of fruits is low and the sugar content is too high. Eating such fruits is not good for our health, so we dare not buy fruits to eat, so we just buy cucumbers and tomatoes as fruits to eat. In addition, I bought rings and earrings made of Hetian jade in Ruoqiang County as a souvenir, and the cost of this part was 1168 yuan.
the total cost for p>35 days is 21181.56 yuan, and the per capita consumption is 11591.78 yuan, with an average daily cost of 615 yuan and an average daily cost of 312 yuan. The consumption of this trip to Xinjiang is very rational, far lower than that of other places. We used to spend an average of 4,111 yuan a day in Sanya and 2,611 yuan a day in Gulangyu during the Spring Festival, but now it is more and more rational to travel.
