North Xinjiang 12 Day Travel Guide

Xinjiang is more beautiful in September. We all know that there is no shortage of beautiful women in Xinjiang, but that's all. We are more curious about the different scenery here every moment. Xinjiang in autumn is colorful and quiet. If you come here, it's like being in a colorful world.

Then, if you want to travel here, next, Bian Xiao will arrange the Northern Xinjiang Ring Road 12 tourist route for you!

Day 1: I arrived in Urumqi, the farthest city from the ocean in the world.

Although the body has arrived in Xinjiang, this is not the beginning of a real trip; Because it is not enough to look at snow-capped mountains, rivers and grasslands! First of all, we need to know something about the culture and history of Xinjiang in order to truly understand the significance of travel;

Therefore, visiting Xinjiang Museum is the beginning of a real trip.

The next day: Depart from Urumqi and go to Brzin, a beautiful northern town by the Irtysh River.

Today's long journey begins. It will span about 650 kilometers, passing through China, the second Junggar Basin in great basin and the vast Gobi. Along the way, you will pass through Baili Oilfield, and you will see countless kowtowing machines. At about noon, you will arrive in Brzin, check into the hotel and have a rest.

It doesn't get dark until ten o'clock in summer in Xinjiang. At this time, it was still early from dark, and I went to Rainbow Beach, the most beautiful seaside Ya Dan. In the soft sunset, it is magnificent, soft light is sprinkled on the colorful river beach, the sunset drawbridge, and the Irtysh River flows quietly. If you don't take pictures at this time, when will it be?

Day 3: Starting from Brzin, journey to the south went to "God's Private Territory" for peace.

Today's journey is not long, about 130 km. Along the way, there are grassland scenery, blue sky and white clouds and yurts in the hinterland of Altay Mountain. You can stop and go along the way and record the amazing scenery you met unexpectedly. After arriving in Harmony, stay in the harmonious Tuva hut.

In Harmony Village, rivers, birch forests, cooking smoke, wooden houses, yurts, cattle and sheep, and Tuwa herdsmen riding horses gather into a beautiful landscape.

The evening sun shines softly on a log cabin in Tuva, and the returning cattle cross the Harmony Bridge in droves ... The scenery in front of them is simply a quiet and colorful oil painting, giving people a feeling of tranquility and peace.

Day 4: Proceed from harmony and enter Kanas, the "back garden of God".

In the morning of harmony, there are often thin clouds floating in the valley like white gauze, and the smoke rises; Before sunrise, I went to the sunrise observation deck to shoot a harmonious morning scene, which was beautiful and shocking.

After recording this beautiful moment, leave harmony and start a new journey; Drive about 60 kilometers and enter Kanas, the "back garden of God".

The light blue lake, the unfolding picture scroll and the brilliant colors of the mountains are like a dream. Three bays (Wolong Bay, Moon Bay and Fairy Bay) and one lake (Yaze Lake) in Kanas are scenic spots that photographers can never get enough of. Looking up and overlooking the whole Kanas Lake, the shock can't be described in words.

Day 5: Depart from Kanas and go to the "Mysterious Dragon City"-ghost town, Wuerhe.

In the early morning, in Kanas' famous three bays and one lake (Shenxian Bay, Moon Bay, Wolong Bay and Yaze Lake), the dreamy Shenxian Bay morning fog and the beautiful Bigfoot Board of Moon Bay were photographed; And the dragon in Wolong Bay. Then all the way south about 360 kilometers, to the ghost town of Wuerhe, where there are representative works of wind erosion landforms.

Ya Dan's wind erosion landform is an ingenious work of nature. After hundreds of millions of years of wind, rain and erosion, there are thousands of mounds in the ghost town of Wuerhe, which look like faces and apes, and the image changes with the change of perspective. The landscape of Ya Dan at sunset is more mysterious, charming and shocking.

Day 6: Depart from Wuerhe and go to Sailimu Lake, the last tear in the Atlantic Ocean.

Today, after a journey of about 530 kilometers, the scenery of Karamay Baili Oilfield goes hand in hand. There are many wells in the oil field, and the oil-producing countries are all over the Gobi Desert. In the afternoon, there are green grasslands, towering snow-capped mountains and blue lakes in front of us. What you have seen shows that you have reached Selim Lake.

Shoot the clear water and blue sky of Sailimu Lake, and the snow-capped mountains are reflected; Stop for a walk by the lake, watch cattle and sheep grazing leisurely on the grassland, and enjoy the beautiful natural landscape of mountains and lakes; You can also climb to the nearby hillside and shoot the Guozigou Bridge at sunset.

When the sunny night comes, Sailimu Lake and Guozigou Galaxy are like practice, and the stars are brilliant.

Day 7: Depart from Sailimu Lake and go to the beautiful town of Tex Bagua City.

Get up early to enjoy the gorgeous Sailimu Lake. After sunrise,

Go to Huocheng, pass the spectacular Guozigou Bridge and the undulating Guozigou Valley along the way, enjoy the scenery of the Tianshan Mountains in Yili, and reach the lavender planting base. June and July are the season when lavender blooms in Yili Valley.

With the refreshing fragrance of lavender, go to the beautiful town of Tex. Tex, also known as Bagua City, is famous for building a city in the form of gossip in the cultural classics of Zhouyi.

Day 8: Go to Kalajun Grassland, the core area of Tianshan World Natural Heritage.

Karajun grassland subverts the aesthetic fatigue brought by ordinary grassland, defines a brand-new grassland landscape, and presents a "three-dimensional grassland" landscape that is easy to watch by integrating different time and space and colors.

In the afternoon, you can go to the Kuanxu Grand Canyon, where there is the famous crocodile bay, a green grassland crocodile crawling quietly in the canyon, and there is also a well-known grassland scenic spot-the humanistic grassland, which twists and turns.

Day 9: Depart from Tex Bagua City and go to Bayinbuluke.

Today, there will be a journey of about 365 kilometers.

Along the way, it passes through the virgin forest of Gongnaisi Valley. All the way to bloom, bees fly and butterflies dance, and tents are dotted. You can see flocks of cattle and sheep flying like white clouds, so that you can truly appreciate the beautiful scenery of the western regions beyond the Great Wall.

Pass through Nalati grassland and arrive at Bayinbuluke, the most beautiful wetland in China in the afternoon. Here, you can photograph the beautiful wetlands on the plateau, the beautiful Swan Lake and the sunset Hui Jin of Kaidu River. If you are lucky, you can enjoy a spectacular sunset and several suns reflected on the river!

Day 10: Depart from Bayinbuluke and go to Turpan, the "Oriental Fire Island".

There is still a long way to go in Xiu Yuan. Today, we will travel about 625 kilometers to fully feel the vastness of Xinjiang. Grazing and cooking smoke along the way, the snow-capped mountains are continuous and the scenery is infinite; During the crossing trip, Chahan Nurda Ban (3,600 meters above sea level) and Tianshan Daban all went down, and grassland forests and snow-capped mountains gradually disappeared. ....

Turpan in eastern Xinjiang is a complex intersection of eastern and western civilizations, cultures and religions, and the sites of the ancient Silk Road are the most abundant.

Day 1 1 day: From Turpan to Shanshan, feel the passage of time and space.

In the morning, I crossed the historical time and space and went to Jiaohe ancient town, the largest and oldest well-preserved tulou city in the world. After years of cruel war, the city-state gradually declined and was finally abandoned, leaving people with infinite regrets.

With historical memories, I went to Baizixi Thousand Buddha Cave in the hinterland of the Flame Mountain Grand Canyon in Turpan, which was once the Buddhist center of the western regions. The erosion of years, religious wars and the theft of western powers have left only the remaining murals, silently telling the glory of the past.

Enjoy the scenery of the Grand Canyon along the way and experience climbing the unbridgeable flaming mountain. The story of the Monkey King borrowing a banana fan three times in the Journey to the West happened here, and it was also the location shooting of "Where is Dad?" in the Journey to the West. Walking through the flaming mountain, there is no hurdle in life.

After this hurdle, you can reach Shanshan. Don't go out if the temperature is high at noon. Going to a hotel for the summer is the best choice. When the temperature drops in the evening and enters the Kumutage desert, the curve of the desert is very beautiful, which is most suitable for shooting desert portraits and leaving precious memories.

Day 12: Depart from Shanshan and return to Urumqi.

Get up early and go to Tuyugou, the holy land of Dongjiang, which is known as "Oriental Mecca". Tuyugou Grand Canyon is a mysterious place in the western regions and a meeting place of many famous religions, history and cultures in the world.

Mazha village in Tuyugou has a history of more than 1700 years, and it still preserves the ancient Uygur folk customs, and is known as the "living fossil of folk customs".

On the way back to Urumqi, I enjoyed the huge Dabancheng windmill array along the way. When the weather is fine, you can also see the Bogda Snow Peak in the East Tianshan Mountains and reach Urumqi, thus ending the beautiful 12 day tour of exploring northern Xinjiang.

Ok, the small series about the northern Xinjiang 12 day tour route has been introduced for you. I hope it is useful to everyone. This September, you must not let down the beauty here. Find a time to travel and appreciate the difference in autumn in Xinjiang!
