In the eastern suburbs of Urumqi, herders are driving a group of sheep across the road. What does it look like?

There are many sheep in Xinjiang, and the mutton is delicious. There are still many ranches and shepherds throughout Xinjiang. I have read the Altay series of books written by Xinjiang female writer Li Juan, which are about sheep and life on the ranch. At that time, I was still thinking that the life described in the book was far away from me. The last time I saw the sheep was in On the pastures in tourist attractions, the lives of herdsmen have been linked to the tourism industry, and their living conditions have improved a lot.

Two days ago, I went to Shirengou on the eastern outskirts of Urumqi for a casual walk. I suddenly encountered a group of sheep crossing the road halfway. I haven’t seen such a scene for a long time, and it was still in Urumqi. In the suburbs, I didn’t expect that there were shepherds on the edge of the city. I quickly took this set of photos to record the sheep crossing the road.

Some people may say that there is nothing to see when sheep cross the road. In fact, this is very common in rural farms and mountain pastures in Xinjiang, but in the suburbs of Urumqi, the capital of Xinjiang, not in Nanshan, not in On the pasture, I still felt quite pleasantly surprised. Although this road is not a busy city street, there are still many passing vehicles. When the sheep come slowly and leisurely cross the road, the vehicles on the road stop and give way to the sheep. It is very harmonious. In the picture, the sheep were not frightened, and they lined up and crossed the road one after another. I stood nearby without any worry that the sheep would hit me, because I know that sheep are very important to herdsmen. They are docile animals. As long as we pedestrians and vehicles do not scare them, they will not be frightened. As I continued walking forward, I saw many sheep along the way. Some were grazing in the fields, some were crossing small bridges, and some were lining up on the slopes in the channels. They were so naughty. These wonderful things All the pictures were taken by me.

I know that sheep will live a simple and repetitive life day after day. Shepherds have long been accustomed to being with sheep. In Xinjiang, on grassland pastures and in the suburbs of Urumqi, the story of sheep It's still going on, so please look forward to more exciting content. I will take you to take a closer look at the sheepfold in the wilderness.
