Xinjiang, located in the northwest of China, is one of the five minority autonomous regions in China. It is also the hometown of songs and dances, melons and fruits, and golden jade, with rich tourism resources. As a senior Xinjiang tourist, I think Xinjiang is attractive because of its beautiful scenery and delicious food.

First of all, there are so many beautiful scenery in Xinjiang that tourists want to enjoy it. According to statistics, there are 56 kinds of tourism resources in Xinjiang, accounting for 83% of the national tourism resources, and there are more than a thousand tourist attractions. For example, Tianchi Scenic Spot in Tianshan Mountain is also a national scenic spot in China. The main attraction is Tianchi Shimen, which is a natural barrier to enter the scenic spot. The whole canyon is cut by the ancient river, and the terrain is steep. The West Little Tianchi Lake is said to be the place where the Queen Mother of the West washes her feet. The addition of myth endows the scenic spots with mysterious atmosphere, as well as the Little Tianchi in the East and the Queen Mother Hall in the West. Followed by the Kumutage Desert Scenic Area, which is unique and adjacent to the city. Here, people can see the scenery of "lonely smoke in the desert, the long river setting the yen", and entertainment items are also provided here, such as go-karting, camel riding and sand skiing. People can enjoy the beautiful scenery while experiencing it; In addition, there are scenic spots such as Kanas Lake Scenic Area and Cocoto Sea Scenic Area in Xinjiang. We can see that Xinjiang has many beautiful scenery, mainly natural scenery. When we arrive here, people will feel the wonder of nature. Therefore, it is precisely because of the numerous beautiful scenery in Xinjiang that tourists want to enjoy it.

Secondly, there are countless delicious foods in Xinjiang that tourists want to taste. Needless to say, Xinjiang food, such as barbecue in Xinjiang. There are mutton skewers everywhere, but mutton skewers in Xinjiang are famous for their fat mutton and big size. Bite down, the gravy overflows, spicy and delicious, and the meat slices can be eaten by tourists. I think kebabs must be delicious for everyone who travels to Xinjiang, and their names are also very famous in China. And a big plate of chicken. Cut the whole chicken into pieces, add potatoes, peppers and dough, and stew together. Chicken melts in the mouth, and potatoes are soft and waxy, especially dough. Because the soup has been absorbed, it tastes excellent, soft and glutinous, and it is very delicious. According to the feedback from people who have been to Xinjiang, this dish is really memorable, and I want to eat it again after eating it once. In addition, there are some specialties in Xinjiang, such as fried rice noodles, noodles, pepper chicken and so on. It can be seen that there are many delicious foods with strong regional color in Xinjiang, which are difficult to copy in other places and worth experiencing. Therefore, it is because there are so many delicious foods in Xinjiang that tourists want to taste them.

What scenery and food are worth recommending in Xinjiang?

Compared with the beautiful south, the scenery in Xinjiang is magnificent. I believe that after reading my introduction, you will definitely want to visit there.

So what's fun and delicious to go to the northernmost part of the motherland? Let's have a look.

Xinjiang meijing

I wonder if you know what the scenery in Xinjiang is like. I was lucky enough to go there once a few years ago, and I will never forget the beautiful scenery there. The first thing to introduce is Cai Wu Bay, where the stones are colored because they contain minerals. In addition, ghost towns are also a must-see; In addition, there is the ancient city of Luntai, which is considered to be the capital of Luntou country in the Western Regions in the Han Dynasty-Luntou City; The last scenic spot to recommend to everyone is Populus euphratica forest in southern Xinjiang. Populus euphratica, as desert prince, is said to be immortal for thousands of years, not for a thousand years after death, but for a thousand years.

Xinjiang cuisine

You know, as a foodie, what impressed me most about this place is not the beautiful scenery, but the food. Seeing the local food really feels like walking, and then I know that there are too many delicious snacks worth recommending in Xinjiang, such as mutton kebabs, which are quite authentic in the local area. The most famous one is the red willow barbecue, but even the five skewers from the street stall 10 yuan are delicious, and there is a pile of brain pit meat and 6 yuan, which is a little different from mutton skewers and delicious. There is also street pilaf in Xinjiang, but I personally think that the best food in Urumqi is the 13 pilaf king in No.10 Middle School, which is delicious, and there is cocoa pilaf on Nongda East Road, and then you have to serve free refreshing side dishes with local homemade old yogurt. You won't know until you eat it.

Xinjiang is a beautiful place with beautiful scenery, delicious food and wonderful people. You are very welcome to Xinjiang.

What are the delicious foods in Xinjiang?

The beauty and food in Xinjiang must be something you can't refuse. Blue sky, white clouds, snow-capped mountains and grasslands are natural pictures given by nature. Fragrant fruits and unique delicacies are the treasures and delicacies created by the history and national culture of the western regions.

Sailimu Lake is backed by snow-capped mountains. The lake is clear and blue, and it is a vast grassland. Because of its beautiful scenery, it has always been one of the most famous scenic spots in Xinjiang. The snow-capped mountains that do not melt all the year round are mainly located on the west side. It is better to shoot from the east side of the lake just to capture the beautiful scenery of the lake under the snow-capped mountains.

Horgos is located at the westernmost end of the Eurasian Continental Bridge in China, facing Kazakhstan across the Horgos River. There are duty-free shops and shopping centers here, displaying many specialties of Xinjiang and Central Asian countries. The name "Horgos" comes from Mongolian, which means "the best nomadic place". It is precisely because there are large fertile grasslands and pastures here that the classic folk song "Grassland Night", known as "Oriental Serenade", was born in this vast land.

Shihezi is a city with military site selection, military design and military construction. In the past, most of Shihezi was Gobi Desert. After several generations of military reclamation efforts, it has become a pasture with rich water plants and fertile farmland. Therefore, it has the reputation of "the Pearl of Gobi", with a green coverage rate of 42%. It is a United Nations "city with improved living environment".

Kao steamed bun

The way to bake steamed buns is to stick the wrapped buns on the boiler and bake them until they are golden yellow and oily before they can be officially baked. Be sure to eat it while it is hot. At this time, the crispy skin collides with the mutton flavor, and the taste is the best.

Fruits and dried fruits

After eating big fish and meat, of course, fruit is indispensable to get tired. Because of the climate and environment, the fruit in Xinjiang has a high sugar content and is very sweet!

Dried fruits are made according to the unique geographical and cultural environment in Xinjiang, such as red dates, raisins, medlar, Elaeagnus angustifolia, sour plums and Xinjiang cheese. These are all dried fruits with pulp, while nuts include walnuts with sweet pulp, thin-skinned walnuts, almonds and chickpeas.

candy

Candies produced in Xinjiang are also great, many of which are sold in the form of lollipops, the most famous of which is Sagittarius candy.

These are Wang Lu's favorite foods in Xinjiang. Of course, there are more delicious foods in Xinjiang, just wait for you to discover them yourself ~ ~

Tips:

1. Xinjiang is dominated by temperate continental climate, with large sunshine intensity and temperature difference between day and night. Before traveling to Xinjiang, you should prepare warm clothes and sunscreen products.

2. Xinjiang has a vast territory, and the trips between scenic spots are generally scattered and the drive is long. Remember to carry water and dry food with you. If you are traveling by car, remember to refuel in time.

There is a two-hour time difference between Xinjiang and the mainland. You usually go to work from 09: 30 to 10: 00 in the morning, and you may not get off work until 19: 30 at the latest in the afternoon. I have just arrived in Xinjiang, and I may not be used to it. I need to get used to the time difference.

What are the famous scenic spots and delicious food in Xinjiang?

Xinjiang has a vast territory and rich natural resources. There are too many beautiful scenery in this vast land: deserts, Gobi, lakes, grasslands, snow-capped mountains, glaciers, pastures, Ya Dan, flowers and forests.

Beautiful scenery:

1, Sailimu Lake

Sailimu Lake is definitely the most dazzling existence in Xinjiang's landscape. It is colorful and beautiful. Known as the "last tear of the Atlantic Ocean", the snow-capped mountains, grasslands and blue lakes form a beautiful picture, and many people go to Xinjiang just to see it.

2. Anji Sea Grand Canyon

Anjihai Grand Canyon is located on the northern slope of Tianshan Mountain in the west of Anjihai Town, Shawan County, and originated from Tianshan Mountains. After years of scouring, the Tianshan Canyon was rushed out near Tonggut, and a large-scale impact fan was formed under the northern slope of Tianshan Mountain. The impact fan in the valley is very big, and it opens in an umbrella shape to the north, which is called a geological wonder.

3. Bayinbuluke

China's largest alpine grassland, the beautiful Swan Reserve, can see nine suns at the same time! Hot springs, Tongtian River, white swan, grassland waterfall ... These beautiful scenery are dotted with Bayinbuluke grassland, which makes people wonder.

Xinjiang attracts not only beautiful scenery, but also delicious food:

1, barbecue

In Xinjiang, we only use two kinds of drills for skewering meat, iron drills or red willow drills. Because the iron drill has high temperature resistance and good heat conduction, when heated in the stove, the meat is roasted thoroughly and smells good from the inside out.

There is a special substance on the skin of wicker drill. With the increase of temperature, the juice secreted by willow branches is mixed with mutton, which is fragrant and makes the meat more tender and unique.

2, saute spicy chicken

If you haven't eaten this dish-Xinjiang saute spicy chicken, then you haven't really eaten Xinjiang cuisine. It is not only a must in Xinjiang cuisine, but also really delicious. Tender and smooth chicken with crispy potato pieces, a whole plate, bring your thoughts back to Xinjiang the first time you serve it.

The bottom of the dish is the wide noodles pulled by the master himself, soaked in spicy soup, and full of chewiness. Thick soup wrapped in noodles is fascinating.

3. Pepper chicken

Pepper chicken-the "double carnival" of hemp and spicy, tearing by hand is the minimum respect for pepper chicken.

Pepper chicken must be torn by hand. Tiya has always insisted on making pepper chicken by hand. With a gentle break, the meat is torn into tender strips, and each piece of chicken is very textured and textured. Then add special sesame oil and chicken soup, each piece is full of soup. The entrance is spicy and delicious. At that moment, from the lips to the tip of the tongue, it is slightly numb and has a rich and long aftertaste.

Don't just look at the beautiful scenery when you arrive in Xinjiang, you must try the delicious food there!

What must-see scenery and food are there in Xinjiang tourism?

Tourism in Xinjiang has been really hot in recent years, especially in hot summer, and traffic jams in famous scenic spots have become a common occurrence. In some scenic spots, the price increase of accommodation and diet seems to be commonplace.

As a mainlander who has lived in Xinjiang for 20 years and often travels between northern and southern Xinjiang, I recommend some places and local foods that Xinjiang must visit from my own feelings.

Let's start with the most popular saute spicy chicken and barbecue.

In fact, if you look closely, many saute spicy chicken are the kind of Sanhuang chicken, and the difference is not too big, but some seasonings are the same and the meat quality is similar.

But some spicy chicken is different, such as native chicken, Lu Hua chicken and ordinary Sanhuang chicken, so if I want to eat chicken now, the first thing is spicy chicken.

Barbecue is also very different. They all say they are local sheep. Near Urumqi, the mutton of Nanshan and Rem is more famous. It's just that for outsiders, this thing was hanged after being slaughtered. Without the QR code of ID card, who can tell whether it is fattening sheep or real free-range sheep?

I seldom eat roast mutton in northern Xinjiang, because the barbecue in northern Xinjiang is a little different from that in southern Xinjiang. Especially in the area between Aksu and Kashgar, and then to Hotan and Aral, the barbecue looks much better than the one with a layer of sauce in the mainland.

It is true that the most beautiful scenery is on the road.

Although the enclosed scenic spots are generally the most beautiful and representative, I believe that the experience will be discounted when the gate is ten kilometers and twenty kilometers away from the scenic spots.

For example, Nalati, I personally think that although the surrounding scenery is different from the inside, it is already very good, especially when coming in from southern Xinjiang, which is very pleasing to the eye. That's what happens when you really go to the scenic spot.

Kanas Lake, to be honest, there are many similar water bodies in northern Xinjiang. The scale is large and small, and the scenery is different, but many places are not as concentrated as Kanas. There are rivers, lakes, trees and, of course, businesses. If you drive past a place and stop to look at the tree, the river, the sunset or the morning light, you will have another feeling.

I have to say that Yili is indeed full of beautiful scenery, such as Zhaosu, Tex and so on. Personally, I think Yili's hand-grabbed meat is the best in Xinjiang, and there is no one.

As for smoked horse meat and sausage, it may be because I have a bad mouth, sometimes I can't chew it badly, and then I don't eat much.

In Kanas, we mainly eat fish. Foreigners who come here without eating fish are equivalent to passing through Altay. However, in view of the large number of tourists in some places, I suggest you go to the regimental farms or towns near Ili or Kanas. The cooking may not be that high, but the authentic one may be more delicious than the so-called senior chef.

In terms of fruit, northern Xinjiang is not on the same level as southern Xinjiang in general.

It is said that grape cantaloupe in Turpan. The grapes in Turpan are really sweet. But when you get to Artux, I suggest you stop and have a rest for an hour or two and try the Mu Na grapes and figs here. I'm sure you will have another opinion.

The melons in Jiashi County are similar to cantaloupes, and they are also very famous. The key is that the melons here are cheap, big and sweet. If there is an opportunity, I suggest putting more in the trunk.

Apricot trees are famous for their trunks in Yili, and locals commonly call them hanging dry. There is a place called Yang Xia not far west of Korla in southern Xinjiang. Small white apricot is very good. Once in Akesu Shenmu Garden, when the apricots were ripe, under the Millennium apricot tree, I looked up to see which one had fallen, reached for it and put it directly in my mouth. Anyway, there is no pollution in this place, and no one sprays pesticides on trees dozens of meters high. Don't worry and eat boldly. Further west, to Yengisar in Kashgar, not only is the knife work famous, but the color is as sweet as apricots.

From Kashgar to Hotan, there are many walnuts and red dates. Here I recommend the pomegranate in Hotan, especially the Pimo Reclamation Area, which is now called Kunyu City. I have to buy two boxes every time I pass there.

Finally, draw the key points.

Most of the scenery in Xinjiang is in the mountains, with Tianshan Mountain in the middle, Altai Mountain in the northwest and Kunlun Mountain in the southwest, which are basically high mountains, snowfields, pine trees and meadows. Like Nalati, Karajun, Bayinbuluke, Tianchi and Kanas, they belong to the pearl that adorns them. And those who are not very famous also have many unique beauties.

Folklore, Kazak Mongolian in northern Xinjiang, Uygur in southern Xinjiang, especially Aksu Kashi Hotan.

The beauty of Xinjiang is, of course, the beauty of emptiness, the vast Gobi and the endless desert. Looking at the Gobi desert, the eastern Xinjiang and southern Xinjiang are the most shocking.

In fact, Xinjiang has many natural scenery, which is really beautiful for mainland friends. Compared with Gansu, Qinghai and Ningxia, the diversity here is rich, so it is necessary to visit Xinjiang.

Of course, I'm just a family statement, and it's difficult to summarize the beauty and food in Xinjiang. Welcome to add.
