Turpan hiking crossing line

In Uyghur, Qom means sand and Tage means mountain. As the name implies, the Kumtag desert we are going to cross is nothing more than a continuous sand mountain range. This is a shocking hiking route, and the feeling of walking through the sand sea is unforgettable.

The endless sand beams, sand mountains and soft sand make the hiking trip full of hardships; However, the various shapes and streamline lines formed by the beautiful sand dunes under the action of wind erosion are not enough for people to see and shoot. Explain the route Urumqi (183km highway) Turpan (70km) Dikaner Village (from the desert, go straight for 32km) Shanshan Railroad (7km) Shanshan County (270km) Dikaner Village, the starting point of Urumqi hiking, is the last village from Turpan to Lop Nur, and human civilization seems to have ended here. Our hiking destination, Shanshan Ganlan Township, is located at the edge of Kumtag Desert, in the northeast of Dikaner, facing Dikaner Sandy Land. A small river separates the huge sand mountain from Bushan County.

It is suitable for hiking in spring and autumn every year. In summer, the temperature in Kumtag Desert will be above 40 degrees. In winter, the desert is very cold at night, which is not suitable for hiking. The necessary equipment for camping in Kumtag requires standard equipment, including tents, sleeping bags, moisture-proof mats, hiking shoes, stoves, pot covers, G P S, compasses, walkie-talkies, hiking clothes, etc. In addition, there are some special equipment that cannot be used for hiking, but hiking in the desert is necessary. Snow cover: used to prevent sand from entering the shoes; Walking stick: The desert is soft, so walking stick is essential. It is best to bring two; Plastic bags: used to protect all kinds of equipment and clothes from dirt and a lot of sand; Photographic equipment needs special protection! There are also GPS and compass to identify the direction; There is a big temperature difference between day and night in the desert, so the sleeping bag used at night must be warm enough.

Round-trip transportation can take a chartered bus from Turpan bus terminal to Dikaner village; The village of Decanel is located on the edge of the desert. After crossing the desert to Shanshan railing, there is a country bus that can be sent directly to Shanshan County, and then take a bus back to Urumqi. It's easy to charter a car all the way. If a straight line is drawn from Dikaner Village to Shanshan Railway, the included angle between this straight line and the true north direction is about 40 degrees, and the straight line distance is about 32 kilometers.

But in the desert, because we have to climb the sand mountain and bypass the sand nest, the actual walking distance is about 45 kilometers. If there is no route error, the whole journey takes about 2 days, and you can walk for 89 hours every day, with a straight line distance of 2km per hour. The reasonable itinerary is to leave Urumqi at noon, camp in Dikaner at night or stay at a fellow villager's home, start crossing in the morning, arrive in Shanshan the next night and return to Urumqi directly, or take a night off and return to Urumqi the next morning. As soon as you left Decanell village, you entered the desert. Many sand dunes and Isaiah skirts can't go straight, so we have to take a detour.

At this time, you must use GPS and guide to make an accurate judgment on the direction, and then use a sand mountain in the distance as a reference point to choose the route. There are also some flats and Isaiah skirts in the desert. Try to walk halfway on the first day of camping, and be sure to camp before sunset. It has been suggested that there are almost no animals and plants in the desert, no people live in it and there is no water source.

So be sure to bring enough food and drinking water, about 8 10 bottles of water per person. Occasionally, I will encounter traces left by human activities, such as cartons and glass bottles. Che Shi Gu Dao (his tunnel) passed through his tunnel, and now people mostly call it Che Shi Gu Dao. Its history can be traced back at least to the Han Dynasty, and it is one of the oldest ancient roads in Turpan and even Xinjiang. 055-79000 records: He Sui Road, right out of Jiaohe County boundary, to the northwest of Liugu, passing through Tingzhou for 450 miles. He was covered with weeds and only passed people by. There are similar records in Xizhou Tujing in Jiaohe County, Xizhou: Longquan Pavilion is located 80 miles north of the county, Beiren Valley is located 130 miles north, Liugu and Dujinshaling are located 160 miles north, and Shi Hui Han Xu protects the city. This record is similar to that recorded in his tunnel, but it actually refers to the same road. In Song Dynasty, Wang Yande took this road from Gaochang North to Jinling and then to Beiting. This is an important passage from Xizhou (now Turpan) to Tingzhou (now Jimsar).

The general direction of Chegu Road is: from Turpan Railway Station (Daheyan) to Yaer Township Ranch (Wuxing Ranch), through Qiongdaban, and through Quanzi Street to Jimsar. Schematic diagram of the walking route of Cheshi Ancient Road (other tunnels) Urumqi Turpan River along the five-star ranch Qiongdaban Liuzhidaoqiao Hydrological Station Quanzi Street Zhan Bensal Urumqi actually walks from the five-star ranch to the hydrological station, with a total distance of about 42km. This route is moderately difficult and suitable for most hikers. May-10 is the best hiking season every year. Equipped with tents, backpacks, sleeping bags, moisture-proof mats and other complete camping equipment, rain-proof equipment and good hiking shoes. Jacket, jacket pants, wool jacket, wool pants, spare socks.

3-4 days of food, commonly used drugs, add water along the way, just bring a little water. You can take a train along the Urumqi River, then rent an off-road vehicle or truck and take it to Wuxing Ranch. After the hike, you can rent a truck in the village near the hydrological station and take it to Quanzi Street. There is a bus from Quanzi Street to Jimsar County. After arriving in Jimsar, you can take the shuttle bus back to Urumqi.

Raiders D 1: Urumqi River starts from Urumqi along Wuxing Ranch. After arriving at Daheyan, rent an off-road vehicle or truck to camp in Wuxing Ranch. This is the starting point for hiking.

D2: Earth-rock kiln in Wuxing Ranch starts from Wuxing Ranch and reaches Sanchakou about 3km. On the east side of Sanchakou is the summer pasture from Kaleke Aiken Valley to the depths of Tianshan Mountain, and on the west side is Shi Yao Aiken. Along the north side of Aiken, a little further west, crossing Huangyanggou, all the way upstream, camping in Shangshi kiln.

D3: Qiongdaban Liudao Bridge in Earth-Rock Kiln. Continue northbound from the earth-rock kiln. After crossing Qiongdaban, you arrive at Liudao Bridge. Two kilometers below Liudao Bridge, there is a meadow, which is an ideal camp.

D4: Salwu, a gibbon in Quanzi Street of Liudaoqiao, starts from Liudaoqiao, goes downhill all the way, passes Wudaoqiao, Sidaoqiao, Erdaoqiao, Erdaoqiao and Joey Bridge, and reaches the village near the hydrological station. Rent a truck in the village and take it to Quanzi Street, then transfer to Jimsar County, and then take the shuttle bus back to Urumqi. -Walking through Guwu Road is the most convenient road from Gaochang City, where Xizhou Prefecture is located in Tang Dynasty, to Beiting City, where Tuguhun Prefecture is located at the northern foot of Tianshan Mountain. Military significance is great. The most famous military incident was the ambush of Guo Xiaoke, the capital of Anxi, in the secret department of Moon and West Turkic, from Gu Wu Road to the northern slope of Tianshan Mountain.

The unearthed document "Geography of the New Tang Dynasty" in Turpan records Gu Wu Road: the right way is out of Beiguwushan Mountain in Gaochang County and 400 miles in Dating Prefecture. Aquatic plants are everywhere. Very dangerous. Only people can go in. The horse is injured. It is pointed out that this road goes north through Guwu Mountain and leads to Tingzhou. Compared with other roads on the map, this is the shortest route to Tingzhou. The general direction of the fifth road is: starting from Gaochang ancient city, passing through Shengjinkou and Jinsheng, reaching Qilekan North, crossing Tianshan Mountain to Qitai Banjiagou, and then reaching Jimsar. Explain the route Urumqi Tuwu Expressway Turpan Jinsheng Township Qilekan Village Qilekan Beixi Ubada Ban Luk Qun Horaku Touqiao Erdaoqiao Sandao Bridge Jiagan Sutar Sakrikdabanxigou Highway Magou Liangbangou Qitai Urumqi actually takes this route from Qilekan, which is moderately difficult and suitable for experienced hikers.

Travel D 1: It takes about 3 hours and 30 minutes from Urumqi to Jinsheng Township in Saraku, Urumqi, and 2 hours from Jinsheng Township to Kamdjo, Saraku, Kamdjo. So Chalekan can be used as a starting point for the first day of camping and hiking.

D2: Chara Kanrukeqin Hlaca Lakan is Uighur, which means land of blood and water. It is said that there was a bloody battle here in ancient times, and the valley was dyed red with blood, hence the name. Chakan Village is located at the junction of two valleys, and it is the location of Jinsheng Township Animal Husbandry Brigade. Along the Wuwagole Valley in the west of the village, the mountains on both sides of the valley are steep and the valley is not wide. There are mountain springs and snowmelt streams pouring down. It's about 10 km to Chalekambesi, which means head in Uyghur. That is, go forward and enter the Uwatag Gorge, where cliffs are towering and dangerous rocks are stacked in the valley. Crossing Ubada Sakamoto, you enter the Hora Valley of Luke Group. The valley is gentle and wide, and the surface water overflows, forming a meadow with dense moss. This is an excellent summer pasture and an ideal camping ground.

D3: Horasalekedaban of Luke Group continues northbound and enters Kuwuke Canyon, about 3km to Toudao Bridge, slightly northeast, about 2km to Erdao Bridge, and then 2km to Sandao Bridge. Therefore, about 3 kilometers from north to east, leave Gagansutar Canyon, drive northwest along Saglik Valley and get off at Saglik for about 6 kilometers. Salcher means the place where wild sheep haunt, and its Chinese name is Shi: Tiaodaban. There are about 5-6 Uighur herders along the way, and the herdsmen are very simple. It is suggested to prepare some brick tea, sugar cubes and wine. Give them as gifts to herders.

D4: The Dabanchitai of Saglik and the Daban of Saglik in Urumqi are the watershed of Bogda Mountains in this section, and also the dividing line between Turpan and Qi Jie. It is about 3km from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, and about 4km from Dabanbu to the north slope. After going down the mountain, go northbound along Xigouxi for about 8 kilometers to Xigou Highway. After meeting with the bus, you will arrive at Qitai County via Heilaoba, Magouliang and Banjiegou. You can spend the night in Qitai County, or you can find a vehicle and go directly back to Urumqi. -Go through Sahan Road. According to "Xizhou Tujing", Sahan Road left Sahan Valley in Puchang County and Liuhe Valley in the northwest, and traveled 730 miles to Tingzhou, where the water plants are abundant. Its general trend is: from the west of Shanshan to the north of Muqin, along Ertanggou water, passing through Jigedai and Ertanggou, and crossing Tianshan Mountain to Qitai. After crossing Carrada Ban, Sahan Road enters Rukezuhuola, and then overlaps with Gu Wu Road until Jiagan River is separated from each other.

Description of the schematic route of crossing Sahan Road on foot: Dabanqiong Piak Dabanga Gansu Valley Horakuwuke River Luke Formation Horakula Daban Ali Township Nikai Kalkanjin Saint Turpan Urumqi In fact, hiking starts from the winding Touwan and ends at Niltoke, with a total distance of about 70 kilometers. There are three Osaka to climb along the way. This line crosses from north to south. The difficulty is moderate and high, which is suitable for hiking enthusiasts with certain experience.

You can take a shuttle bus from Qitai in Urumqi to Qitai, and then rent a minibus to go to Qiantouwanzi. The road from Ridong Kaye to Jinsheng Township is very difficult, and only off-road vehicles or trucks can pass. So you should contact the shuttle bus at both ends in advance to avoid wasting time.

D 1 Introduction: Tietouwanzi, Urumqi. Depart from Urumqi in the morning, take the shuttle bus to Qitai County, after lunch, transfer to minibus, go through Banjiegou, and camp in Tietouwanzi. After driving into Banjiegou Town, drive along the southeast simple highway, pass the toll station of Magouliang Forest Farm (toll 5 yuan/Ren), pass the famous Qitai weir slope, and enter a dense resort. There is an inconspicuous fork in the road. All the way south to Heilaoba, all the way southeast to Qiantouwanzi. Touwanzi has beautiful scenery and fresh air, and is the home of several hospitable Kazakh herders. Adaban was named after a herder named Addari here.

D2: Niantouwanzi Adalidaban Qiongpi Cliff Zilike Daban runs southwest along the main navigation channel of Niantouwanzi, then southeast, crosses the Tianshan watershed (Adalidaban, at an altitude of 3,470 meters), and spends the night on the east side of Qiongpi Cliff Zilike Daban. The straight line of this section is about 12 km, but it is a long uphill road from the starting point to the watershed, involving several tributaries, and the driving speed is slow. After passing through the forest area, enter the alpine meadow area. The valley is open and the mountains are undulating, including large wetlands. Go down the river after Addali Daban until you meet a sheepfold of a Uighur herder. On the west side of the sheepfold is Qiongpiya Zilike Daban.

D3: The valley in front of Huola sheepfold of Qiongpiya Zilike Daban Luke Formation is steep and impassable. It is necessary to cross Qiongpiaziligaban (Uyghur language, meaning 10 hills, with an altitude of about 3,300m) to the west, enter the Jiaganzi Valley, meet with Guwu Road, and reach the Hora of Lukqun. Qiongya Zilike slate is composed of 10 onion-like peaks, with a straight line distance of about 3 kilometers, which takes about 4 hours. Gansu River is also the main tributary of Ertanggou. Along the east of Jiagan River, southbound for 3km to Jiagan Sutar, southbound for 1 km to Tihala (Uygur language, meaning goat pen), then westbound along the tributary of Jiagan River, passing through Sandao Bridge, Gongdao Bridge and Huanxi Bridge, 4km to Kute River mouth, and southbound for 2km to Hora (Uighur language, meaning Rudd pen). Luke Qunhuola is a wide meadow pasture with lush green grass and fat sheep in Mazhuang with pleasant scenery.

D4: Hora, Karadaban, Lu Kequn, at an altitude of 2,998 meters, located in the east of Hora, Lu Kequn, Gansu. There is a long gentle slope on the west side of Osaka and a big slope on the east side, which is covered with gravel, so you need to be extra careful. After leaving, enter the valley along the steep slope on the south side. This section of the road is very unclear. Look carefully. It winds eastward along the valley, passes through two sheepfolds and a large nettle bush near the sheepfold, and reaches Ali township about 5 kilometers away. A Xiang, Uygur language, means hot spring. Located at the intersection of two rivers, there are more than 20 springs with different cold and hot temperatures. Surprisingly, these springs seeping from rocks are quite effective in treating some intractable diseases, such as skin diseases, infertility and eye diseases. More than 20 springs can treat more than 20 diseases. Every day in summer, one or two hundred people come to Akou for treatment. There are several stone houses in A Xiang to provide accommodation.

According to "Xizhou Tujing", Yimo Road goes out of Yimo Valley, out of Puchang County, out of Liuhe Valley in the northwest, and out of Tingzhou for 740 miles. It is covered with aquatic plants, leading to people and horses. From the south of Tianshan Mountain to Kirgiz River, ancient castles-Kirgiz ancient city are still preserved. This castle is Wei Xumo of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, the moving path is also called grinding path. During the Agubai Rebellion in the late Qing Dynasty, the rebels once occupied the castle, which also reflected the important military strategic value of this ancient road. Move the road, that is, through the castle, along the north of Kirgiz River, across the Tianshan watershed, into Rem County, and directly to Jimsar.

The schematic diagram of trail crossing shows that the top of Rechaganbute Valley in Urumqi is Dabanqiong Keshlak Valley and Kantekai-Shanshan Urumqi in Kuqiuur Valley. In fact, the hiking started in Chagambu and ended in Kantekai. The walking distance is about 36 kilometers. Moderate difficulty, suitable for most hikers. The best hiking time is from May to 10 every year. Equipped with tents, backpacks, sleeping bags, moisture-proof mats and other complete camping equipment, rain-proof equipment and good hiking shoes.

After you get off at Rem County by shuttle bus, transfer to an off-road vehicle or truck, go south along the Rem River, pass the forest farm checkpoint (toll 20 yuan/vehicle), and then go west along the Chaganbute Valley, and camp at the herdsmen's point at the intersection of Chaganbute River and Subas River. It is about 40 kilometers from the county seat to the camp. Except for a few asphalt roads, most of them are simple roads in mountainous areas.

D2: Chaganbute started hiking at the source of Jonshlak River in Daban. Along the Subhas River, cross Dading Daban (3428 meters above sea level), and camp at the source of the Qiongkeshilak River (a tributary on the east side of Kirgiz River) under Daban. This is the summer pasture in Shanshan County, where a Uighur herder lives. The full-day walking distance is about 13 km. Although Dadaban is only 3428 meters above sea level, its top is a huge platform composed of a series of ditches and beams, which is a long way and consumes huge energy. The mountainous area is inaccessible, and the herdsmen are very simple and kind. It is suggested to buy some tea and sugar cubes as gifts for the herdsmen in Ruim County.

D3: Walk along Joneslake Valley for one day, walk south along Joneslake Valley, and spend the night at the mouth of Joneslake River. The full-day walking distance is about 18km. Joan schrack Valley is full of flowing water, and its banks are covered with large folds and rocks, which is very spectacular.

D4: Kantokai of Jonkshlak River kuo chur River continues to drive about 2km southwest of Jonkshlak Valley, enters Kuochur Valley, another tributary of Kirkyar River, and then drives about 3km southeast to Kantokai, where you will meet the shuttle bus.
