How big is Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, where Beijing college students go home for 8 thousand miles and only see the ruins?

Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia are indeed very large, and you can't see a distant family for an hour by car. Inner Mongolia in Xinjiang is a large area, and this Beijing college student suffered this loss. A college student who seldom goes home after studying abroad for a year excitedly records his journey home with his mobile phone. The college student bought a train ticket from Beijing West to Urumqi.

The total * * * drive is 3 1 hour and 35 minutes, from the excitement when getting on the bus to the excitement with 2708 kilometers left to the fear of seeing Xinjiang's next-door neighbors. The college student who was full of joy and thought that he would see his relatives in the next second suddenly changed his painting style because he found his home in ruins. It turned out that the college student's home was demolished, but his parents didn't remember to tell him about it until they got a phone call from their son a moment ago.

I don't know what a big place is until I come to Xinjiang. Xinjiang's per capita land area ranks first in the country. The total area of Xinjiang is 1.66 million square kilometers, which is a little larger than that of Henan+Shandong+Hebei+Beijing+Tianjin+Shanxi+Shaanxi+Hubei+Anhui+Jiangsu+Shanghai+Zhejiang+Hunan 13 provinces and cities, and compared with overseas countries, Xinjiang = Three Laws; Xinjiang = four Japan; Xinjiang = seven English.

The land in Inner Mongolia is very long and narrow, and it takes 48 hours by train from the westernmost end to the easternmost end. Inner Mongolia accounts for more than one-tenth of the total area of China, covering the northwest, north and northeast of China. Adding up the areas of Jiangsu Province, Zhejiang Province, Shandong Province, Shanxi Province, Fujian Province, Anhui Province, Liaoning Province, Henan Province, Ningxia Province and Hainan Province, we can't reach an Inner Mongolia.
