The destinations of the second leg of the trip are Kalajun Grassland and Sailimu Lake.

I set off from Xinyuan County, Yili Autonomous Prefecture, and headed west. I didn’t know that I could still go west like this after entering the Western Regions. The vast territory of the motherland always made me feel heroic when I was traveling. I said that when I was a child, The Japanese devils really underestimated China's strength. Not to mention that just a short trip into our territory would be enough to knock them out for several years.

On the road there were still herds of wildflowers on the snow-capped mountains and grasslands. Such beautiful scenery slowly numbed my eyes, and I felt that it was natural that the world should be so beautiful.

The national highway is already showing its age, and the newly built expressway looks like a golden avenue because of the few cars. It is not like the impression of Xinjiang, but one thing always reminds you that it is within Xinjiang, because of the huge restrictions. Supai always reminds you that the number cannot exceed 30, 40, or 50, which makes you panic and fear that you don’t know how to exert your strength. You are afraid that you will be fined in Guinness along the way. There is a record of being fined 2,000 for one trip on the Internet.

After five hours of trembling at the speed limit, I entered Turks City to replenish my gastrointestinal supplies. The unexpected reward was that I found out that it is the largest, earliest and most complete Bagua City in the world. I was really overjoyed.

While I was chuckling, I ate the most famous local mutton slices in a large open-air restaurant, which costs 128 for a large bowl. I have never seen such a delicious Pian'er soup. The lamb chops are very fresh and have a rich aroma. Thinking of the delicious grass they have eaten, I can't help but eat three bowls at a time. My stomach is smooth and I feel refreshed. There is a crowd in the courtyard of the hotel. The hustle and bustle probably comes here because of its reputation. I didn’t remember the name in particular, because modern information is so advanced that you can basically satisfy your taste buds by searching for delicious food everywhere and find restaurants with good reviews. How many travelers today, who live a prosperous life, have listed delicious food on their list. It has become a top priority in the itinerary. Those who can eat warm their stomachs, and those who enjoy eating warm their hearts. Food can heal and stimulate happiness. As the saying goes: No bamboo makes people vulgar, and no meat makes people thin. Not vulgar but not thin, braised pork with bamboo shoots. I have grown into an excellent foodie.

There are always surprises when going out on the road. This is the first time I have learned that the construction of the city has the Bagua model, and it has developed to include an outer ring. It is really strange.

Baidu: Tekes Bagua City first appeared in the Southern Song Dynasty. Because the Tekes River Valley combines the strength of the mountains, the suppleness of the river, and the strong veins of the water, it is regarded as the Feng Shui of the "Bagua City" The core has four directions: Kanbei, Linan, Zhendong and Duixi. From then on, this place became the most original prototype of Tekes Bagua City.

This town embodies the cultural connotation of the Book of Changes and the unique and mysterious thoughts of the Bagua. The central Bagua Culture Square serves as the two "yin and yang" instruments of Tai Chi, which extend out like rays at equal distances and angles according to the Bagua directions. There are eight main streets, and these streets form sixty-four hexagrams according to the eight trigrams directions, which fully reflects the mathematical theory of the I Ching with 64 hexagrams and 386 lines. In order to prevent people from getting lost, each street has directional signs, but there are no traffic lights, which is also a strange feature.

It is the seat of the Wusun Kingdom, the largest ancient nomadic country in the western region of China. It is also the place where the largest number of princesses were married off in ancient Chinese history...

The world is so big, how can you not go there? Know the magic.

After a full meal of mutton slices, I was supposed to go to the Bagua Sightseeing Tower to see the real thing, but due to time constraints, I didn’t do it. This also gave me the motivation to come back next time. I always regret it. It brings about perfection. We are always on the road to pursue perfection. Although there is no absolute perfection in this world, I always feel that my journey is complete, because happiness is the hard indicator, and good scenery is worth seeing again and again, so I never get entangled. What shortcomings, shortcomings often create another kind of beauty...

The expectations for Kalajun Grassland made us ignore the speed limit again and again, but it is really painful to move forward according to the speed limit. When they saw the 30 sign, everyone in the car shouted to the driver to slow down, slow down, 30, 30. It was like a car was running towards the North Slope in compliance with the rules. I saw cars whizzing by beside me, and I was filled with doubts.

Finally, after repeatedly climbing the mountain road, we reached Kalajun, another sky grassland.

There are many types of grasslands, each of which is different.

The deepest impression on me in Kalajun is the wild flowers blooming all over the mountains without regard to the cost. The lush vitality makes you quickly infected and forgets your fatigue and worries, feeling relaxed physically and mentally, and surrounded by large clouds. Swimming in the air, in this big oxygen bar, you just want to take a big breath, the snow-capped mountains are not far away and within reach, I spin in the grass and shout loudly: It’s so beautiful, it’s all mine, it’s all mine, there are so many people around me Each traveler immediately raised his arms and responded, "Everything is mine, everything is mine." Happiness spread over the grassland in the sky. Some people simply lay down among the wild flowers...

A little girl from an ethnic minority was holding the hand. The young lamb climbed up the mountain, and my daughter had been looking forward to hugging the lamb. As we approached, two little girls said in blunt Chinese that it was five yuan to hug the lamb. Their timid look made me feel pity, and every time I was given 5 yuan, and the happy look of the two girls made me regret my habit of not carrying cash with me. Later, after we left, my companion Mr. Zhang who didn't go met some boys with sheep and chatted for a long time. It turned out that they had to rely on themselves. To earn tuition, Mr. Zhang was a deputy to the National People's Congress and did not bother to enjoy the beautiful scenery and chatted with them for a long time, encouraging them to change their destiny through reading. He gave them all 100 yuan he had on him. This kind of heartfelt and sincere talk should be in the hearts of Mr. Zhang and the children. Beautiful scenery, in fact, as long as everyone does a little bit, life will become more beautiful.

The daughter was intoxicated while holding the lamb. Then she found that the lamb got drunk even faster and fell asleep in her arms. The cute look with its eyes squinting and its legs croaking made everyone laugh. I kept laughing, such harmonious nature...

Of course, I met two older girls on the way back. When I touched the lamb lovingly, one girl shouted: Touch For 5 yuan, their eyes have become very worldly, and the beauty in their hearts can't help but be discounted. I hope that the over-commercialization of scenic spots will come slower, so that our eyes and hearts can experience more beauty.

In the evening, we returned from Kalajun and stayed in Turks. Although it was remote, the accommodation still cost four to five hundred yuan because it was a tourist attraction.

I decisively visited its night scene. Xinjiang doesn’t get dark until ten o’clock in the evening. At twelve o’clock at night, the core square of Bagua City is still very lively, full of enthusiastic Xinjiang dances and melodious and bright singing.

It feels like I am far away but in a simple and rich atmosphere of life.

The next morning Turks set off straight to Sailimu Lake.

Baidu on the way:

Sailimu Lake is a national scenic spot. It is the highest altitude, largest area and beautiful mountain lake in Xinjiang. It is also the last place favored by the warm and humid air currents of the Atlantic Ocean. It is a place that is known as "the last tear of the Atlantic Ocean". It is located in the Tianshan Mountains of Bobei, Xinjiang. The lake is 2,071 meters above sea level and covers an area of ??453 square kilometers. The lake water is crystal clear and has a transparency of 12 meters.

This is my favorite place during this trip. Its magic lies in the calm, deep and virginal lake, which is not like water but like a lake full of jade. Once you encounter it, you will fall over instantly...

Because of the light, the satin-like gem-like lake surrounded by mountains can change color. Waves of blue, emerald green, and yellowish waves fill your eyes and heart. You just feel that life is beautiful. The red flowers, nasturtiums, and various swaying flowers and plants by the lake are as pure as washed by water. They contrast with the clouds in the sky over the snow-capped mountains a little further away. A beautiful ink painting is spread out in front of you. No wonder poets of the Qing Dynasty called it "a strange land from the west, a spiritual soil from the outside". It is also true that "Tianchi Sea is on the top of the mountain, and everything is contained in the sky in a hundred-mile mirror."

Coming from the hustle and bustle of the city and covered with dust, I feel cleansed physically and mentally. This is of course the greatest added value of travel. Something will always change. Nature has indescribable regulating and healing powers. Only when you calm down can you discover How insignificant a person is in front of the vast lake between the towering mountains. What should we care about? The meaning of life will be more revealed from the troubles, and starting over will be full of energy.
