Xinjiang self-driving essay-the famous landscape in northern Xinjiang: the sunset shines on the rainbow beach

In northern Xinjiang, the most famous scenic spot is Kanas Lake, which is located in the northernmost part of Xinjiang. This scenic spot actually includes three scenic spots, from south to north: Harmony Village, Kanas Village and Baihaba Village. In practice, people are used to calling these three scenic spots Kanas.

These three scenic spots belong to Brzin administratively, and Brzin is the only way to them. At this time, our position is 185 regiment, near the western border. However, we can't go directly to Kanas, so we have to go back to Brzin in the southeast and then go to Kanas.

Near Brzin, there is a famous scenic spot called Rainbow Beach, which is also a must-see spot for tourism in northern Xinjiang.

It's 16, 140 km in the afternoon, which takes about 3 hours.

In Xinjiang, the sun sets at about 8: 30 pm. According to the plan, we arrived at Rainbow Beach at about 7 pm. You may think, is it still too late to see the scenic spots?

Here's another little secret.

The landscape of rainbow beach depends on its colorful colors, and only under the irradiation of sunrise or sunset can it reflect its colorful scene; Because the sunrise time is short, it is the best time to wait until the sun goes down. It should be said that it is the right time for us to set out and get there now.

We walked back along the border path.

Tall and straight Woods, green crops and leisurely herds of cattle and sheep were all developed by several generations of army reclamation workers in the desert Gobi. In order to defend the frontier of the motherland, they missed the opportunity to enjoy the prosperity of the city, silently endured loneliness and loneliness, and shed their lifelong sweat on this land. They don't have loud slogans or lofty aspirations. "Protecting this land for the country" is their simplest initial intention.

It's sunny. This trip, luck is good, except for the heavy rain in Sailimu Lake, all other scenic spots are good weather.

For Rainbow Beach, the weather is more important, and rainy days have no colorful colors.

Sunny sunset time is the best viewing time.

I have been running for two and a half hours, and I have seen the road sign. The destination is not far away.

In Xinjiang, the estimated time given by the navigation system is relatively accurate. We didn't encounter traffic jams for a long time or temporary road closures (Dooku Highway has a limited passage). For travelers, this is good luck.

At night 18: 30, we arrived at Rainbow Beach Scenic Area smoothly.

We buy tickets to enter.

The scenic spot is very large, and a wooden plank road has been built along the hilly direction.

Although there are many tourists, they have not yet reached the state of being on a par.

It's 0/9 o'clock in the evening/kloc, and the sun begins to set in the west. The oblique sunlight hit the vast beach and began to reflect gorgeous colors.

Rainbow beach

Briefly introduce this scenic spot.

Rainbow Beach, 24 kilometers away from Brzin, is located on both sides of the rippling Irtysh River, which is the only river in China that flows into the Arctic Ocean.

This is a vast hilly area with an extremely broad vision. Lush valley scenery is formed on both sides of the river. Because the hills and rocks on the river bank have different weathering resistance, the outline will be uneven, and the different minerals contained in the rocks will turn into various brilliance, hence the name "Rainbow Beach".

Geologically speaking, this is a hilly and variegated rock landform, which is called colorful mound in geomorphology because of its colorful. Its nature is similar to Danxia landform, but it is now considered to be an independent landform.

Uneven rock formations are eroded into different shapes by the wind, with smooth edges and corners and different colors. In the sunset, they are colorful.

Strangely, only the north bank of Hebei has colorful hills, while the south bank is vast and beautiful.

The river is sky blue and twists and turns. The warm color of the rainbow beach and the cool color of the river form a color contrast, which is a perfect match and complement each other.

The smooth rocks in hills are generally considered to be the result of long-term erosion by rivers, such as pebbles. However, according to the formation theory of colored hills, it should be the result of wind erosion rather than water erosion. I think it is also possible that wind erosion and water erosion have both effects.

This scenic spot is called the first beach in the world. In China, there are many scenic spots in the name of "the best in the world", which tend to be abused. As the lyrics of Suo Linnang say, "They are all myths made out of nothing, boasting about the rich". It's not surprising that there are many tourists.

At this time, I thought of the title of Mount Tai, "the only one of the five mountains", which is a high generalization and praise of Mount Tai's historical position. No matter how it sounds or looks, it has a strong sense of history and culture.

It's 19: 30, and the sun has set. The setting sun shines on the colored rocks, making the colors look softer.

As you can imagine, if it is cloudy, or the sun is strong during the day, the color is either dim or too strong; In photographic terms, underexposure or overexposure can distort colors.

Today is an excellent weather, an excellent time and good luck.

It's almost eight o'clock in the evening, and now it's the best time to watch Rainbow Beach. All the tourists gathered in several scenic spots to enjoy taking pictures. It can be seen that the sunset at this time emits orange-red light, which makes the surrounding scenery more colorful.

Fortunately, the scenic spot is large and there are many things to see. Although there are many people, it is not crowded.

The sun has set on the horizon, and there are no obstacles on the vast plain. The sun is almost flat on the ground, projecting the characters for a long time, and the colors are fuller and softer.

The sun sets slowly, leaving only one corner. In another 30 minutes, it will be dark.

The Irtysh River, without sunshine, looks like a mirror, and the empty Yuan Ye is very quiet.

In thirty minutes, it will be dark.

This hill is very special, like milky white slurry, flowing irregularly on brown rocks, which looks like jade.

At 8: 30 in the evening, the sky quickly darkened, tourists evacuated and the scenic plank road became empty.

Day after day, year after year, nature is slowly evolving and new geological wonders will appear.

Will there really be a day on the earth when there are no graves on the mountains, no rivers to exhaust, Lei Zhen in winter, rain and snow in summer, and heaven and earth are in harmony?

Man can never control the evolution of the universe.

Cai Wu Night Market Brzin

When we entered the center of Brzin, we felt that the light decoration of this small city was as gorgeous as the rainbow beach in the sunset. Almost every building is decorated with lights, even catching up with the CBD areas in the north and Guangzhou. Of course, there are no such tall buildings.

The Kaka Pass we bought included a song and dance performance in Brzin. The building called Kanas Grand Theatre is also decorated very brightly.

The light show may be to highlight the city's tourism resources.

Let's go to the night market by the Irtysh River and find a place to eat.

The night market is full of barbecues. However, the barbecue here is fish instead of mutton.

There is a fish in the Irtysh River, which is a cold-water fish. When the river exceeds 20 degrees Celsius, fish will die, so grilled fish is the representative of food here.

We tasted the grilled fish, which was really delicious and deserved its reputation.

Tonight, we will live in Brzin, and tomorrow we will arrive at Harmony Village, a famous Kanas scenic spot in northern Xinjiang. It is said that during the tourist season, people are almost overcrowded and house prices soar.

Our daily schedule is full, just to get here on the eve of National Day.

We are well aware of the taste of overcrowding in scenic spots and must avoid the peak period.

Today is September 26th. Our plan has been implemented smoothly, a little ahead of schedule. Kanas, known as the most beautiful scenic spot in northern Xinjiang, is waving to us. We hope the good luck will continue.
