Xinjiang is a place blessed by God, Xinjiang in October is the most beautiful autumn scenery

Attractions: Xinjiang

Geographical Location: Xinjiang

Transportation: all kinds of transportation to reach Xinjiang (usually by plane, because the train is really far away)

Recommended reason: Xinjiang is a beautiful place with fertile water plants and unique scenery. People should take a stroll in Xinjiang at any time in their lives to watch the horses galloping on the grassland; watch the white clouds like yarn changing on the Tianshan Mountains; watch the large skewers of lamb skewers and Wusu beer on the street; watch the long river winding through the Tianshan grasslands Above; look at the vast expanse of the Gobi Desert; the blue lake is crystal clear, the purple lavender slices, the laughing sunflower lowers its heavy head and pays the best tribute to autumn; the border is scattered with white The felt bags are like clouds falling on the golden grassland. This is a place favored by God in Xinjiang. There is never a lack of scenery that fills your eyes, as long as you have enough time.

Xinjiang is located in the northwest corner of China, bordered by Kazakhstan, Mongolia, and Russia to the north, and borders Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Pakistan in the southwest. It is the largest province in my country. Throughout the ages, Xinjiang has always been the Western Regions in our hearts, in a remote and mysterious place.

Xinjiang is not a boring destination for every tourist. The vast and fertile area makes it both vibrant and bleak. There are blooming apricot flowers, vast grassland scenery, golden birch forests, endless desert scenery, hot and inaccessible Flame Mountain. The prosperous ancient Silk Road in the past has given it a rich and profound cultural heritage. Turpan, Hami, Kashgar, Kuqa, Hotan, etc. are all important towns on the road to prosperity. To this day, they still retain traces and evidence of the integration of religion, commerce and various ethnic cultures, attracting many cultural travelers to explore.

Northern and Southern Xinjiang

Xinjiang is said to be northern Xinjiang and southern Xinjiang. A Tianshan mountain range divides the vast Xinjiang into two parts: the north and the north. The north of the Tianshan is called the northern Xinjiang, and the south is the southern Xinjiang. Perhaps for many travelers, the difference between northern and southern Xinjiang lies in the fact that northern Xinjiang is biased towards natural scenery, while southern Xinjiang is more focused on humanities. But in the eyes of Xinjiang people, southern Xinjiang and northern Xinjiang are completely different. Northern Xinjiang means mountains and grasslands, Southern Xinjiang means deserts and Gobi; Northern Xinjiang means grassland culture, Southern Xinjiang means agricultural civilization; Northern Xinjiang means Kazakh and Oirat Mongolia, Southern Xinjiang means Uyghur and Tajik; Northern Xinjiang means Uyghur and Tajik With horses and singing, southern Xinjiang means muqam and dance.

Best travel time

June to September is the northern part of Xinjiang, which is the best time to travel to northern Xinjiang. The summer from June to August is an excellent time to admire the lavender fields and the sea of ​​rape blossoms. During this period, the scenery of eastern Switzerland composed of grasslands, lakes and snow-capped mountains will also reach its best condition. In September, the popular autumn scenery in Kanas began to gradually enter its state. The paradise on earth composed of golden birch forest and Tuva smoke is the photographer's favorite paradise.

In southern Xinjiang, August to October is the best time to travel in southern Xinjiang. At this time, the autumn air in southern Xinjiang is cool, and the melons and fruits are rich. There is no wind and sand in spring, heat in summer, cold in winter, and the highest level of comfort throughout the year in autumn.

Northern Xinjiang mainly includes Urumqi, Yili, Altay, Turpan, Tacheng, Changji and other cities and regions. The unique geographical location gives this place a rare natural beauty. Kanas Lake, Xanadu Hemu Village, Prairie Pearl Sailimu Lake, luxuriant grassland Gongnais, colorful colorful beaches, and the forbidden land of Wuerhe are all magnificent wonders of northern Xinjiang.

Southern Xinjiang includes the Tarim Basin, the Xinjiang part of the Kunlun Mountains, and the Turpan Basin, covering Kashgar, Hotan, Aksu, Guoleng, Kizilsu Kirgiz and other areas. In ancient times, southern Xinjiang was a prosperous place on the Silk Road. Heading west from Dunhuang, the Silk Road is divided into three parts. Two of them passed here. Ancient countries such as Qiuci, Yanqi, Gaochang, Loulan, and Tubo once flourished here.

Compared with northern Xinjiang, southern Xinjiang has many ethnic flavors. Many ethnic minorities live here, mainly Uighurs, as well as Kazakhs, Huis, Mongolians, Kirgiz and Xibes. All aspects of life, such as architecture, food, clothes, etc., can feel a strong Islamic atmosphere. The Han people came here and became a minority.

Northern Xinjiang: Urumqi-Colorful Beach-Kanas-Baihaba-Hemu-Karamay Devil City-Sailimu Lake-Guozigou-Ili-Nalati Grassland-Bayinbuluke (Swan Lake, Jiuqu) Eighteen Bend)-Tianchi-Urumqi. This route basically includes must-see attractions in northern Xinjiang.

The colorful beach is next to the Irtysh River and overlooks the south bank. There are oasis, desert and blue sky, and the scenery is panoramic. The curved river beach is gurgling, the lush valley forest trees and the colorful hills on the opposite bank reflect each other. A river is divided into two banks, which is better than flying into two heavens. The magical work of nature combines two completely different landforms ingeniously. Together, they constitute a natural wonder. Note: When you pick up a map of Xinjiang, you will definitely feel fainted. It turns out that the word "caiwu" has multiple interpretations in place names. Colorful beaches, Wucaiwan, Wucaichi, Wucaicheng, should we remember this place, Xiami? Wrong, these are four places. As long as you make a mistake with the chartered master, you will be taken to different places. The right place is the colorful beach. It is located about 10 kilometers away from Burqin County.

Kanas-Baihaba-Hemu: These three attractions are the three nearby attractions, and most tourists will arrange to visit them together. Many people believe that Kanas Prefecture, Baihaba and Hemu should be charged uniformly. The fact is that the costs of these three attractions are particularly detailed. For example, Kanas's ticket and shuttle bus cost 220 yuan, while the Shangka Guanyu Pavilion in Nass needs to pay an extra 60 yuan (shuttle bus), while the Baihaba ticket plus shuttle bus is 290 yuan.

Kanas: It has the magnificent scenery of the Northland and the beautiful scenery of the Southland. In addition, there are "cloud sea Buddha light", "change color lake", "driftwood long bank", "lake monster" and other beautiful scenery. How can it not be regarded as the best fairy tale scenery in the western region! To the north is the snow-capped Kuitun Mountain and the towering Friendship Peak. The lake is surrounded by mountains, and the forest is like a picture. There are lush foliage, moss and weeds on dead leaves and dead wood. The open grassland is green, and the mountains are full of flowers. Normally, the lake water is like a pool of emerald green. As the weather changes, the water in the lake changes in different colors, changing its style from morning to night. Whenever the smoke and clouds surround, snow peaks and spring mountains are faintly visible, as if a world has disappeared. In summer, in the early morning after the rain, you can see the wonders of Buddha light on the camel peak in southern Hunan. Baihaba Village: Known as one of the eight most beautiful towns in China, the unique ethnic costumes, religious beliefs and customs of Tuva people are also favored by more people. When traveling, you need to apply for a border permit, purchase tickets for scenic spots and maintenance fees for ancient villages.

Hemu: The most beautiful autumn color in Kanas area is Hemu, which is immersed in the forest and is colorful. It is a typical original natural ecological scenery. On the hillsides surrounding Hemu Village, you can overlook the panorama of Hemu Village and Hemu River. You can see the sunrise, snow peaks and streams from a distance, and you can observe Tuva's houses carefully. This is a great location for shooting sunrise, morning mist, wooden houses and the Hemu River.

Karamay Devil City: "Devil City" is a Yadan landform with an area of ​​10 square kilometers and an altitude of about 350 meters. The transliteration of "Yaldan" in Uyghur language, Yadan was originally the name in Uyghur language. It was called wind-eroded sand texture, meaning "steep hill". You can enjoy the view after 9 o'clock. The city of the devil under the bright sun is meaningless. The color is white. There is a shuttle bus inside. Let you get out of the car for a few minutes, and then get in, but there is actually no place to shade, it can make you dry. You can take photos at any angle from the periphery of the Devil’s City. There is no point in spending money to get in. The shuttle bus takes 45 minutes, and then your 46 yuan is gone.

Sailimu Lake-Guozigou, you will see a sign on the expressway: Sailimu Lake exit, please do not go out, go ahead for 1 km, and then see the "Sailim Lake Tunnel", slow down, Don't cross the tunnel. There is a gap on the right side of the tunnel. When you drive past, you will enter Sailimu Lake. Sailimu Lake is a sapphire, beautiful in the sun. Watching the sun shining a little bit, the lake is clean and tidy, there are no ripples, no cruise ships, no boats, and occasionally a group of waterfowl flies up, gathers, starts up, passes and flies away again. Guozigou is named after many wild fruits. The peaks and hills in the ditch are towering, the canyon turns, the pine and birch trees are lush, the fruit trees are in full bloom, the wild flowers are in full bloom, the waterfalls and springs are beautiful. August and September are the best time to travel.

Yili: Lavender Yili is the most important autonomous prefecture in northern Xinjiang and its capital is Yining. Girls going to northern Xinjiang must not miss Yili. In fact, many girls yearn for Provence lavender, which can be seen in Ili, and its momentum is not worse than Provence. Those who like photography or being photographed should not miss this beautiful place. Best place recommendation: 65 group, although there are other groups, but still 65 group is the most spectacular. Best time: It is best to arrive before mid-June, otherwise it will be harvested and processed into lavender oil. If you are not in time, you can also buy some lavender essential oil. Quite authentic~~

Nalati Grassland: Sunset 170 yuan entrance fee plus shuttle bus fee The essence of Nalati Grassland is the sunset on the grassland in the sky, but it is worth noting that Nalati Grassland actually leaves work at 8 o'clock. If you do not have enough courage and wisdom to convince the staff in the park, the sunset on the grassland will basically miss you, and if you are late, you may not even be able to enter. Of course, some ferocious tourists can still win their own benefits, but please note that they are only individuals, please make sure to fully estimate your own strength~~

Bayinbulak: Mongolian means "the fountain of fertility". The local swans gather here. Xinjiang people believe that seeing swans will reap happiness, so this is also the holy lake in their hearts. The beauty of Bayinbrook is definitely the conquest of ironing, the silent conquest of moisturizing things. If Bayinbrook can't touch the deepest emotion in your heart, I can no longer find a longer and deeper depth from China.

Tianchi: Eighty to ninety percent of people who have actually been to Tianchi are likely to regret it, and those who do not go to Tianchi will regret it 100%. If you have not been to Tianchi, you cannot count as having been to Xinjiang. The scenery of Tianchi Lake can still be dropped, but it is far worse than Kanas and Bayinbuluk in northern Xinjiang. But he is too famous, so I suggest that friends who come from afar should go up and mark it, don't leave you regrets.

Those who come to Xinjiang are no longer content to just look at the Tianchi Lake, Turpan's Flame Mountain, Grape Valley and Kanas lake monsters. More and more people come to Xinjiang, hoping to see the most representative natural scenery in Xinjiang. There are many unique tourist attractions in southern Xinjiang. The main attractions are Thousand-Buddha Caves, Tuomuer Peak Glacier, Kashgar Stone Town, Xiangfei Tomb, Jinhuyang National Forest Park, Muztag Peak, Pamirs, Kashgar Grand Bazaar, Qiuci Ecological Park, Korla Lotus Lake And so on attractions.
