Tourist attractions along the railway from Chengdu to Xinjiang
From Chengdu to Xinjiang, just follow Baocheng Line, Longhai Line and Lanxin Line! First of all, it passes through the terrain area, including Chengdu Plain (Chengdu), Daba Mountain, Qinling Mountains, Guanzhong Basin (Baoji), Yellow River Valley (Lanzhou) and Hexi Corridor (from Wuwei to Jiuquan Dunhuang, with Qilian Snow Mountain on the left and Badain Jaran Desert on the right), and then enters Xinjiang Desert and Tarim River Basin. In terms of landscape evolution, there is a transition from subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forest to temperate deciduous broad-leaved forest, and then to temperate desert grassland and temperate desert. To put it simply, it is a transition from tall trees to low grassland and then to desert. Geographically, it is called the law of longitude zonality from coastal to inland. This alone is good enough!
Let's not talk about the scenic spots in Chengdu. There are many, many, but the tickets are generally more expensive, focusing on human history, such as Du Fu Caotang and the nearby Qingcheng Mountain in Dujiangyan. These two places have direct trains and are convenient! From Chengdu to the north, there are Jianmen Shudao in Guangyuan City, Tiantai Mountain in Baoji City, Maiji Mountain in Tianshui City, Fuxi Temple, Haicang Temple, Dayun Temple and Leizu Temple in Wuwei City. From Wuwei City to Jiayuguan Dunhuang, it is called Hexi Corridor, which is almost all tourist attractions! It's enough for you to see for a week, with snow-capped mountains and deserts. It's beautiful! ! ! The Mogao Grottoes are well known, and various temples, passes, historical city sites, natural deserts and oases are beautiful just in the distance, Qilian Snow Mountain and pedal oasis desert! When we entered Xinjiang, we first visited a place called Xingxingxia, which is a famous outlet in China. The spring wind is often so strong that it can occasionally affect or even blow down the train. We tried it in T7 from Beijing to Urumqi in a certain year. I believe it is a bit mysterious here! Next, we will go to Hami City, the place where cantaloupe comes from. Some people say that it is produced by Shanshan (Shanshan is near Turpan, east of Tui), so we won't be entangled. Anyway, it's delicious and sweet enough! Miaoergou and Huiwang Tomb are all scenic spots. Then go to Turpan, the Flame Mountain, Grape Valley, Gaochang Old Town, Aiding Lake and finally Urumqi. If Tianshan Tianchi, Baiyanggou and Bogda Peak follow the K452 route, it will be over here.
From Urumqi to Huocheng, that is, to Horgos Port on the Sino-Kazakhstan border, it is a part of the tourist route in northern Xinjiang. The ancient city of manas, Sailimu Lake, Huocheng and Horgos Port are all scenic spots, with Tianshan Mountain in the south, herds of cattle and sheep, Zhungeer in the north, and contiguous oases in the desert. Only when you enter Xinjiang do you know how big our country is!
K452 takes 47 hours to drive from Chengdu to Urumqi. But instead of Tianshui, it goes around Ningxia and then comes out of Hexi Corridor. If you take the train, you can choose the way of reversing, that is, reversing from Baoji, Xi 'an or Lanzhou and then to Urumqi, and leave as much daytime time as possible on the scenic drive, especially from Hexi Corridor to Xinjiang. K452 passes through Qinling Daba Mountain and Hexi Corridor at night

After more than ten minutes, the crispy and delicious Naan is out of the pot, which can be put for a long time, so many tourists come to Xinjiang to bring this food back for tasting.

1. "Wear fur coat in the morning and yarn in the afternoon, and eat watermelon around the stove" is a typical portrayal of the climate in Xinjiang. Xinjiang belongs to continental arid climate, with large temperature difference between day and night, and significant climate differences in different seasons and at different altitudes. In case of bad weather, the temperature changes from warm to cold, so please pay attention to changing clothes in time and do a good job of pre-cooling and heatstroke prevention. The temperature difference between morning and evening can reach about 1 to 15 degrees. Generally speaking, you still need to prepare coats or sweaters for summer travel.
2. Some areas in Xinjiang have high altitudes and strong ultraviolet radiation. For example, the highest temperature in Turpan in summer can reach more than 4 degrees. So please take sunscreen with you, and at the same time, you should be equipped with drugs or granules for clearing away heat and heatstroke.
3. The climate in Xinjiang is dry and windy, so I suggest you pay more attention to drinking water and prepare lip balm.
4. Xinjiang has long routes and scattered scenic spots. Therefore, it is easy to get tired after a long ride. Please be prepared for hardship and pay attention to rest. When traveling in Xinjiang, some scenic spots require you to get off, walk, climb mountains or ride horses. It is recommended that you prepare a pair of comfortable and easy-to-walk shoes before you leave.
