A Record of Northern Xinjiang —— Smoke rising in Harmony Township and Sunset in beautiful countryside

Watch the sunrise in Harmony Township, ride a horse to a beautiful village, and argue with a group of Mongolian caravans who charge exorbitant prices.

Go out before five o'clock in the morning (two hours time difference in Xinjiang) and walk along the village road to the western hillside. Don't worry about going the wrong way, because there are always people watching the sunrise on the road. Follow and you won't make a mistake.

I walked for about 20 minutes and walked up the stairs. This process is a bit boring, especially carrying a camera bag and tripod. There will always be people on the hillside who go early, but they can always find a place to put the tripod.

The dawn here is quiet, and the village built of logs has not yet woken up. Only a group of outsiders gathered on a hillside and stared at the big wooden house between the hills. The wind is still a little cold.

The sun jumped out from behind the opposite hill, and the wooden house in the village lit a cigarette, as if it were agreed. The frost on the ground melted because of the warmth of the sun, forming a layer of fog, which filled the top of the wooden house.

A new day has begun. The villagers began to lead horses around looking for tourists.

Shutter sound is flashing, and the rising time of the sun is fixed in the sensor and converted into a digital signal.

When the sun came up, I began to walk around and look at the past from different angles. Finally returned to the village.

I was a little hungry for breakfast and wanted to eat roast mutton on a whim, so Sanmao and I found a shop. As long as the boss has business, he doesn't care whether the kebabs in the morning are suitable or not. So we had a breakfast.

After lunch at noon, on the way, the locals who were led by horses advised them to ride to the pasture in a beautiful nearby town. Be careful, that's how we were cheated. These people give you a horse to ride, and they won't say that each horse will charge 100 yuan per hour after two hours. The later you ride, the more money they charge. So you'd better contact the innkeeper, at least you won't be cheated.

The imaginary horse riding on the grassland is very handsome. In reality, it's convenient to get on the horse with long legs, but when you run with your camera bag on your back, the camera bumps and hurts. And on horseback, probably because of the cushion, it is uncomfortable. Running and running, the bag behind him hit his back up and down because of inertia. This taste, self-knowledge, heartache, dreary exercise.

Finally arrived in the beautiful countryside, really worthy of the name. Unfortunately, I went a little late. Probably riding slowly, and the horse is also very hard. When I got there, I was preparing to go down the mountain. So I took out my camera in a hurry and took some photos.

When I returned to Harmony Township after taking photos, the Mongols began to charge exorbitant prices, so I had to argue with him. As a result, the man called a group of big black Mongols to stand in front of me, and I settled the money on the principle of being friendly to ethnic minorities on other people's sites. In fact, what scares me most is that my companion disappeared at this moment and waited until people left. This makes me feel worse than a pit.

If you go to Harmony and want to ride a horse, you'd better contact your innkeeper for you.

That night, I changed my residence, instead of living in a wooden house, I moved to Harmony International Youth Travel Service outside the village, where the conditions were better.
