In northern Xinjiang, the most famous scenic spot is Kanas Lake, which is located in the northernmost part of Xinjiang. This scenic spot actually includes three scenic spots, from south to north: Hemu Village, Kanas Village and Baihaba Village. In practice, people are used to calling these three scenic spots Kanas.
these three scenic spots belong to Brzin city administratively, and Brzin city is the only way to these three scenic spots. At this time, our position is the 185th regiment, which is close to the western border. However, we can't go directly to Kanas, so we have to go to the southeast, return to Brzin, and then go to Kanas.
near Brzin, there is a famous scenic spot called Rainbow Beach, which is also a must-see for tourism in northern Xinjiang.
it's 16: p.m., 14 kilometers away, and it takes about 3 hours.
In Xinjiang, the sun sets at about 8: 3 in the afternoon. According to the plan, we arrived in Rainbow Beach at almost 7: in the afternoon. You may wonder, is there still time to see the scenic spots at this late hour?
here's another little secret.
The landscape of Rainbow Beach depends on its colorful colors, which can only reflect its colorful scene under the irradiation of sunrise or sunset; Because the time of sunrise is very short, it is the best time to wait until the sun sets. It should be said that it is just the right time for us to leave now and get there.
we walked back along the border lane.
The tall and straight Woods, green crops and leisurely herds of cattle and sheep were all developed by several generations of army reclamation workers in the desert and Gobi. In order to protect the frontier of the motherland, they missed the opportunity to enjoy the prosperity of the city, silently endured loneliness and loneliness, and spilled their lifelong sweat on this land. They don't have loud slogans, and they don't have lofty aspirations. "Protecting this land for the country" is their simplest initial intention.
it's sunny. This trip, luck is good, except for the heavy rain in Sailimu Lake, other scenic spots are all good weather.
For Rainbow Beach, the weather is more important. You can't see colorful colors in rainy weather.
Sunny sunset is the best viewing time.
I have been running for two and a half hours, and I have seen the road sign. The destination is not far away.
In Xinjiang, the estimated time given by the navigation system is relatively accurate. We have not encountered a long-term traffic jam or a temporary road closure (there is a time-limited passage on the single-library highway), which is considered very lucky for travelers.
at 18: 3 in the evening, we arrived at Rainbow Beach scenic spot smoothly.
we buy tickets to enter.
The scenic area is very large, and a wooden plank road is built along the hilly direction.
although there are many tourists, they have not yet reached the state of jostling with each other.
It's 19 o'clock in the evening, and the sun begins to set in the west. The oblique sunlight hits the vast beach and begins to reflect brilliant colors.
Rainbow Beach
briefly introduce this scenic spot.
Rainbow Beach is 24 kilometers away from Brzin, and is located on both sides of the Ertix River, which is the only river in China that flows into the Arctic Ocean.
This is a vast hilly area with an extremely broad view. Lush valley scenery is formed on both sides of the river. Because of the different weathering resistance of the hills and rocks along the river bank, the outline will be uneven, and the different minerals contained in the rocks will conjure up all kinds of splendor, hence the name "Rainbow Beach".
In geology, this is a hilly and variegated rock landform, which is called colorful hills in geomorphology because of its colorful colors. Its nature is similar to Danxia landform, but now it is considered as an independent landform.
Uneven rock formations have been eroded into different shapes by wind, with smooth edges and corners and different colors. Under the setting sun, they are colorful.
strangely, only the north bank of the river has colorful hills, while the south bank has vast forests.
the river is sky blue and meanders. The warm color of Rainbow Beach and the cool color of the river form a color contrast, which can be described as a perfect match and complement each other.
The hilly rocks are smooth, which is generally believed to be the result of long-term river erosion, such as pebbles. However, according to the formation theory of colored hills, it should be the result of wind erosion rather than water erosion. I think it is also possible that wind erosion and water erosion have both effects.
this scenic spot is called the first beach in the world. In China, there are many scenic spots with the title of "No.1 in the world", and there is a tendency to abuse them. As the lyrics of Suolinnang say, "It's all myths created out of thin air, boasting the rich". Tourists have seen a lot, and they are not surprised.
at this time, I think of the title of Mount Tai, "Five Mountains are the only ones", which is a high generalization and praise of Mount Tai's historical position, and it has a heavy sense of history and culture no matter what it sounds or looks like.
It's 19: 3, and the sun has set in the west. The setting sun shines on the colored rocks, making the colors look softer.
as you can imagine, if it's cloudy, or if it's strong sunshine during the day, the color is either dim or too strong; In photographic terms, either underexposure or overexposure will distort the color.
It's really good luck that today is a wonderful weather and a wonderful time.
It's almost eight o'clock in the evening, and now it's the best viewing time in Rainbow Beach. All tourists gather at several viewing spots to enjoy taking photos. It can be seen that the sunset at this time emits orange-red light, which makes the surrounding scenery more colorful.
fortunately, the scenic area is large and there are many viewing spots. Although there are many people, it is not crowded.
The sun has already set on the horizon, and there is no obstruction on the vast plain. The sun shines almost flat against the ground, casting the figure long, and the color is fuller and softer.
The sun is slowly setting, and there is only a little light left. In another 3 minutes, it will be dark.
The Irtysh River, without sunshine, is like a mirror, and the empty Yuan Ye is quiet.
in thirty minutes, it will be dark.
This hill is very special, like milky white slurry, flowing irregularly on brown rocks, which looks very much like the texture of jade.
at 8: 3 in the evening, the sky darkened rapidly, tourists evacuated, and the scenic plank road became empty.
day after day, year after year, nature is slowly evolving, and new geological wonders will appear.
will there really be a day on the earth when "the mountains are barren, the rivers are exhausted, the thunder and the earthquake in winter, the rain and snow in summer, and the heaven and the earth are in harmony"?
man can never control the evolution of the universe.
Brzin, a colorful night market
When we entered the downtown area of Brzin, we felt that the light decoration of this small city was as gorgeous as that of Rainbow Beach in the sunset. Almost every building was decorated with lights, even catching up with the CBD area of Beishangguang. Of course, there were no buildings that high.
The Kaka Pass we bought included a song and dance performance in Brzin. The building called Kanas Grand Theatre was also brightly decorated.
The light show may be to highlight the tourism resources of this city.
Let's go to the night market by the Irtysh River and find a place to have dinner.
The night market is full of barbecues, but the barbecue here is fish instead of mutton.
There is a kind of fish in the Irtysh River, which is a kind of cold water fish. When the river water exceeds 2 degrees Celsius, the fish will die. Therefore, grilled fish is the representative of food here.
we tasted the grilled fish, which was really good and deserved its reputation.
Tonight, we will stay in Brzin, and tomorrow we will arrive at Hemu Village, which is the famous Kanas scenic spot in northern Xinjiang. It is said that during the tourist season, it is almost crowded and the house prices have risen ridiculously.
Our daily schedule is full, just to get here on the eve of National Day.
We know what it's like to be crowded in scenic spots, and we must avoid the rush hour.
Today is September 26th. Our plan has been carried out smoothly, a little ahead of schedule. Kanas, known as the most beautiful scenic spot in northern Xinjiang, is waving to us. We hope our good luck will continue.
