Introduction to Xinjiang self-guided tour:
Day 1: It has been very hot all summer, and I have endured it all summer. I really want to escape from this "BBQ mode" and go to a pure land that I have longed for. After thinking about it carefully, I can’t explain why Xinjiang is so vast. I always feel that the grasslands there are very charming, the sheep and horses there are cute, the grassy beaches there are colorful, and the sky there is the most moving.
Xinjiang in autumn is like a palette knocked over by God. It is colorful and different seasons bring us different beautiful scenery. At this time, the grassland in Sailimu, Nalati, and Bayinbuluk turned yellow, the leaves fell one after another, and the scenery was greatly reduced. But if you miss Kanas in September, you miss the whole autumn!
The next day: After breakfast, follow National Highway 216 to look for the Colorful City on the Earth's Palette in "Journey to the South". Along the way, you can see the Tianshan Mountains, the oasis belt on the northern slope of the Tianshan Mountains, and the Gurbantunggut Desert. After passing through Huoshao Mountain, you can rest and take photos for free. In the afternoon, you can enter the uninhabited road in Caiwu City and pass by the Kalamaili Mountain Ungulate Nature Reserve. If you are lucky, you will see groups of Jungar elf antelopes foraging in the desolate Gobi in the distance. We will stop the car slowly, and the team members will get out of the car and have a quiet and close look with the wild donkeys. We will then journey to the south, entering the Altai Mountains, passing through the beautiful Yaze Lake and Ilemu Lake in Hoh Suli, and arriving at the Cocoto Sea in Fuyun County, China, where the Irtysh River originates.
Day 3: After breakfast, go to Keketuohai National Geopark for sightseeing and shooting.
This is the source of the only Irtysh River in China that flows into the Arctic Ocean. Take a battery car in the scenic area to admire the rich turtle forest, birch forest, couple's tree, Shimen and other scenic spots, visit the famous landmark Coco Tuo Sea, then take a long walk along the Irtysh River, and walk on the huge rock cracks of the Irtysh River Grand Canyon. Enjoy and photograph the autumn colors. The cocoa in autumn holds the sea, is colorful, and dyes the layers of forests, which will make you intoxicated. Leave the scenic spot at the right time. After lunch, drive west along the Irtysh River to Rainbow Beach, the famous first beach in Burqin, and visit the most beautiful Danxia landform of the day, the colorful riverbank at sunset and the Sunset Bridge. Go to Burqin to rest in the evening. In the evening, you can go to the famous Hedi Night Market in Burqin to taste local snacks, such as grilled fish, barbecue, grilled lamb chops, cold noodles, kvass (a very light beer with honey) brewed by an old Russian lady, yogurt, etc. And your taste buds are a delight!
Day 4: After breakfast, I drove into Harmony Village, God’s private reserve with gorgeous colors and exclamations of wonder.
After arriving at Harmony Village, arrange a room, and then have free time. Those who like horse riding can go to a place far away from the world, where only a few Dawei families live in Meifeng. Peaceful and profound. Extremely quiet! Appreciate the feeling of herdsmen galloping through the mountains and wilderness. If you don't want to ride a horse, you can stroll along the blue Harmony River and the golden birch forest. Occasionally, Luyu herdsmen pass by with their sheep, which feels like a poem in a fairy tale. You can also choose to take a stroll in Hehe Village and experience the customs and customs of the Dawei people. The scenery around Hemu Village is also beautiful. In the evening, everyone made an appointment to go to the Hemu Observation Deck to overlook the panoramic view of Hemu Village. Enjoy Dawei Village, with smoke curling up in the sunset. The Hehu River is fast flowing and there are herds of cattle and sheep. Return to your accommodation after sunset. Photographers who like to enjoy shooting the starry sky should not miss the starry sky without light pollution.
Day 5: Get up early and go to the observation deck to take pictures of the panoramic view of Hemu Village and the dawn.
As the sun leaps over the surrounding hills, the morning light shines on Hehu Village, which is dotted with wood-carved houses. It is surrounded by golden birch forests and western Liaison pines. The morning mist drifts in the valley, and the smoke curls up from the cooking pots. It's so beautiful. After breakfast, leave Hehe and head to Kanas Scenic Area. Take the scenic bus to enter Kanas Scenic Area. You will be amazed by the gorgeous autumn colors along the way. Passing the famous three bays and one lake along the way, we arrived at the general library. You can change the scenery and go to the Fish Viewing Platform (you can also choose to go horse riding at your own expense). You can climb to the top of the mountain and see the distance. Here you can overlook the entire Kanas Lake. It's so shocking, unparalleled. On a clear day, you can also overlook the snow-capped Friendship Peak on the Sino-Russian border. Next, under the leadership of the team leader, we will go to Kanas Lake, have an in-depth tour along the lakeside plank road, and return to Jiadeng Valley by car in due course. On the way, you can have an in-depth tour of the famous three bays of Kanas (Shenxian Bay, Moon Bay, and Wolong Bay). You can choose to walk along the riverside boardwalk of Kanas Sanwan under the leadership of a tour guide to enjoy the beautiful autumn scenery of Kanas up close. It feels great. Of course, if you don’t want to leave, you can choose the scenic transportation bus to watch.
Day 6: Today, I slept until I woke up naturally. After breakfast, we bid farewell to Altay and drove south to Urho, passing through the vast Gobi Desert and viewing the Baili Oilfield and countless oil wells along the way.
In the afternoon, we visited the Baiyang River Grand Canyon and enjoyed and photographed the Populus euphratica forest in Northern Xinjiang. In the canyon in autumn, the stream is clear and flowing, and the Populus euphratica forest is magnificent.
Ghost Town - Our River, the world, take photos of the most beautiful Ghost Town of Our River under the sunset, and enjoy the wonderful scenery of the Windy City at sunset. The ghost town had a strange figure in the sunset. After the tour, we stayed in Karamay, a very clean and distinctive oil town.
Day 7: After breakfast, drive to Turpan, "Huozhou". Here you can enjoy the mountains and rivers of Yadan and feel the miraculous craftsmanship of nature, such as Baili Oil Field in Karamay and Kuitun of Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps. , Shihezi,! Pass by the Tang Dynasty military fortress - the ancient town of Dabancheng, the Sea of ??Death - Asia's largest wind power station - Shili Salt Lake, and arrive at Turpan in the evening.
