You have been to Xinjiang and walked through countless famous expressways, but you don't have to walk through this simple expressway.

This is a little-known Tianshan highway.

It was built for the national defense needs of a special era and was later forgotten.

This is a geographical corridor with strange scenery.

The meadow snow-capped mountains in Ya Dan Canyon ... are so magnificent that even the old drivers don't want to pay attention to them.

This national defense highway is Xinjiang provincial highway 10 1.

Xinjiang Provincial Highway 10 1 is the highway from Urumqi to Coursat Le, also known as the national defense highway. It was built in 1960s to guard against famine and prevent Su Xiu from attacking.

This road starts from the fork of national highway 2 16 Xishan agricultural pasture, more than 20 kilometers south of Urumqi. With good scenery and poor road conditions, it is a good route for photography, exploration, hiking and painting.

It is connected with the most breathtaking scenery of Tianshan Mountain, and it is a region with very beautiful geological and human landscape. After hundreds of millions of years of natural creation, the vast land has formed amazing natural secrets.

Desert scenery, Gobi landform, valley landform, canyon landform, alpine meadow forest scenery, wetland, alpine snow scene, Ya Dan landform, Danxia landform and rock painting. ...

Step by step is the scenery, which is wonderful, ingenious and natural in color, and is called "the road of palette" by riders.

A netizen really said this:

We walked this road at the expense of scrapping a new tire for 15 hours! All the bones on my body have been worn away. It's a hard but beautiful day.

Photography/travelers

The scenery is good, but the road is rugged, with a total distance of 309 kilometers. Due to disrepair, the road conditions are extremely poor, just like hitting a washboard, and the dust is flying.

Starting point: Xishan farm and pasture

The starting point of Xinjiang 10 1 Provincial Highway is at the fork of Xishan Farm, National Highway 2 16, which is more than 20 kilometers south of Urumqi. Xishan farm and pasture are not far to the west, which is the geographical center of the Asian continent.

Hutubi Grand Canyon

Hutubi Grand Canyon is different from the general Tianshan Canyon. It originates from Heyuan Peak, 5290 meters above sea level in the East Tianshan Mountains, and the valley is more than 40 kilometers deep. On both sides of the valley, the mountains are high and the forests are dense, and the flowers and plants are strange, covering the sky; At the bottom of the valley, the road is rugged.

Because the valley is located on the northern slope of Tianshan Mountain, every summer, abundant rain and the melted water of many snow-capped mountains around the source of the main river meet at the bottom of the valley and roar down the steep and narrow canyon, which is deafening.

Qicai Mountain Canyon

From Liuzigou town to the west, you enter the colorful mountain canyon.

The landform here is earthquake fracture and wind erosion zone, and various rocks and loess constitute magnificent canyon scenery.

Compared with the Danxia landform in Zhangye, the colors of colorful ravines are not so strong, red is light red, purple is light purple, and even the loess at the foot of the mountain is not so bright.

The ups and downs of Danxia landform and Jurassic mountain system with different shapes, various rocks and loess constitute the magnificent canyon scenery, and the cliffs are layered.

All the way along the provincial highway, see more than ten kilometers of magnificent canyon scenery. I don't think the camera lens can hold these beautiful scenery.

Kazak style grassland

Entering the grassland from the fork of Santunhe Coal Mine, the grassland here is almost paved with green linoleum, with smooth ridges, bent cattle, sheep and horses, and Kazakh herders and their yurts, abandoned stone houses and sheepfolds that appear from time to time.

Grassland is a sea of colorful flowers. In summer, all kinds of flowers are in full bloom, and the grass in the fence is waist-deep. Driving in Tianshan Mountain has always been a beautiful Kazakh pasture, with stone ladders, Queergou, Quedong, Lujiaowan and Bayingou.

Lujiaowan

Lujiaowan is one of the best grasslands in the northern foot of Tianshan Mountain, and it is the low valley and hilly area of Habiga Mountain. It is adjacent to Danangou in the east, Bayingou in the west, Habiga Mountain with steep slope in the south and Bortonggu Township Government in the north. The surface is gentle and the grassland is endless, with a vertical and horizontal area of 50 square meters.

Tianshan Highway passes through the scenic spot. This is the place where Tianshan red deer live and multiply. Red deer shed their horny shells once a year. Therefore, a large number of fallen antlers are left in the mountains and rivers, and antlers are everywhere, hence the name "Antlers Bay".

Lujiao Bay is rich in aquatic plants and flocks of cattle and sheep. South of Lujiaowan is a high mountain. The spruce on the hillside is like a tent, dense and green, and the top of the mountain is covered with snow all year round. "Four seasons in one mountain, ten miles in different days" is the proof here.

Kuitun River Grand Canyon

From Manas via 156 county road to10/provincial road, via Lujiao Bay, Hongshan Grand Canyon can reach Kuitun.

In the upper reaches of Kuitun River, where the snow and ice melt in Tianshan Mountain, there is a carved canyon. The valley between mountains is nearly 20 kilometers, with twists and turns and cliffs.

Nature is ingenious, cutting the flat land vividly and forming a series of gullies. Thousands and hundreds of millions of years later, it is such an incredible landscape that is presented to us.

After hundreds of millions of years of roaring rivers, the erosion of rain and the carving of snow, a thrilling picture of natural history emerges on the cliffs on both sides of the strait.

Anji sea grand canyon

Anjihai Grand Canyon, also known as Hongshan Grand Canyon, is located in Anjihai Grand Canyon on the northern slope of Tianshan Mountain in Xinjiang. This is a miracle created by nature. The "deepest, most dangerous and strangest" section of the canyon began in the old mine department where Hongshan Coal Mine, the seventh division of Xinjiang Corps, is located.

This low-key valley, characterized by magnificent colors and dense terraces, is a breathtaking and magnificent canyon. But at present, it is an undeveloped virgin land, and the locals know very little, and there are almost no tourists.

The Grand Canyon is a miracle created by nature. Standing at the top of the mountain and looking at the bottom of the valley, I was shocked and even surprised, and my back was cold.

Anji Haihe River originated in Tianshan Mountain, and it galloped all the way, and the runaway wild horses plunged thousands of miles, forming a large-scale alluvial fan under the northern slope of Tianshan Mountain. The alluvial fan in the valley is very large and opens in an umbrella shape to the north, which is called a geological wonder.

End point: Bayingou Ranch

The destination is Bayingou Ranch in Wusu County, which is located in a pasture about 60 kilometers southeast of Wusu City, Xinjiang. This is a beautiful place. Between the ups and downs of the mountains, snow peaks enter the clouds, glaciers are crystal clear, pines are bursting, and the climate in the four seasons is pleasant.

The beauty of this road lies in the changeable scenery along the way. Just now it was a strange valley with high mountains and deep valleys. In a blink of an eye, the scenery along the way has become the grassland scenery of Ma Jun's sheep fat.
