Border town tacheng

I was lucky enough to spend a few days in Tacheng, the border city of the motherland. In my spare time, I will take a walk on the main streets of Tacheng, feel the ethnic customs and cultural atmosphere in the frontier and enjoy the exotic scenery.

Most mainlanders transfer from Urumqi to Tacheng Airport to Tacheng. Of course, they can also take the train from Urumqi to Tacheng, but it takes more than ten hours of bumps and fatigue in one night, which is very time-consuming. Because the urban area of Tacheng is very small and the population is very small, Tacheng Airport and Tacheng Railway Station are very small, which can't be compared with the stations and airports in inland cities.

Tacheng is a small city with a small population, but its administrative level is not small. It is Tacheng area, which has jurisdiction over 5 counties and 2 cities. Tacheng has the border port of the motherland-Baktu Port, which is an important port city for economic and cultural exchanges between China and Kazakhstan. Standing at Baktu Port, we clearly feel the difference between the two countries. Our border crossings are magnificent, the roads are spacious, bright and clean, but the opposite side is desolate. From the comparison of port construction, we can strongly feel the strength and prosperity of the motherland.

Tacheng has a Twin Towers Park, which is one of the few parks in Tacheng. The park has beautiful scenery and pleasant scenery, which is the best place for morning exercise. The park was originally the site of a Buddhist mosque, with two ancient pagodas and a Gu Quan well. The air in Tacheng is very fresh, and it is one of the cities with the best air index in the motherland. The sky in Tacheng is blue and the water is dark green. From the picture, you can feel the blue sky and white clouds that inland cities can't feel. Tacheng has a refreshing climate and pleasant environment. It is a very suitable city for living and providing for the aged.

But don't think that Tacheng's name comes from this. Tacheng, formerly known as the ancient city of Talbahatai, still retains the ruins of the ancient city wall. The ancient city wall is 2.5 kilometers long, and a circular road along the ancient city wall is called the outer ring road.

The city block of Tacheng is very small. If you have enough physical strength and endurance, you can walk Tacheng in one day. High-rise buildings are rare in Tacheng, and there are even many bungalows and private houses in the city. Tacheng citizens are very laid-back and have a slow pace of life. They don't like fighting or saving money. They like beef and mutton very much. Some young people can eat a lamb by themselves. Tacheng Huancheng Road is a famous food street with hundreds of snack bars, large and small. Tacheng citizens are very hospitable, and they will feel guilty if they don't treat their guests well.

In Tacheng area, a new government office building, Liuhe Building, has been built in the periphery of the city. Very magnificent, the building is hexagonal. If you enter the building for the first time, I'm sure you'll think you've entered a maze, and you won't be able to find the route.

Don't think that the frontiers of Xinjiang are all deserts. As an important town in the northwest of China, Xinjiang has beautiful scenery and vast surrounding areas. As a small town in Xinjiang, Tacheng also has many very beautiful scenery. Friends, if you have the opportunity, you must go to Tacheng to see the frontier beauty of the motherland.
