Kashgar Travel Guide in August

Kashgar is located in Xinjiang. It is an extremely beautiful city that attracts a large number of tourists every day. It has a typical Western Region style and retains many ancient cultural elements. The natural landscape is also extremely gorgeous. Here are the Let’s share our travel guide to Kashgar in August.

Because I had to move at short notice, and I had to take the train to Kashgar on Sunday afternoon, I had no plans to go there.

I woke up on Saturday morning to pack up my things in the hotel. I saw that there wasn’t much. I had stayed there for 20 days and had purchased a lot of things. Originally, the three of us had one suitcase and schoolbag each, but we ended up packing. I came down with several more packages. When the big brother from the work unit came to pick us up, we were still a little reluctant to part with this place. After all, if we move there, we won't be able to see such a beautiful night view on the 14th floor. Living here is not a long-term solution. If we move there and tidy up, it will feel like home. ?

It was already 12 o'clock when I got home after picking up the things I sent. I moved the furniture a little and maybe tidied it up. I was so hungry that the room wouldn't be tidied up for a while. I probably wanted to dry the quilt. After shaking it, you can go to sleep first, and put the rest aside first.

The water and electricity have not been paid, and they may stop one day. The Internet fee has not been paid, and the big TV is just a decoration. ?

I casually made the bed and rested for a while. I was tired and sleepy, and fell asleep before I knew it. When I woke up, I took back the things to dry, and made the bed carefully, making it warm. Warm, cotton, and extremely comfortable. ?

After making the bed, the three of us were discussing what we were missing. We looked at our phones and found out that Li Dong, a friend from the same university who was in the Corps, had come to Urumqi. Did he step on it? He came right after we moved, and he came with new sheets and bedding, so we could sleep right away.

I made an appointment with my friends who were in Urumqi for a big meal. I ate the shrimp I wanted to eat and found a pretty good restaurant. After dinner, we walked together and sent Pei Yong back. In the past, he always sent us off, but today we sent him off instead.

My friends and I

It seemed like we drank too much, so we were looking for a restroom on the street. We originally thought we could go to the People’s Theater, but the guard said it was closing. , we can’t let anyone in. I had no choice but to walk back to a police station. I thought there must be one inside, so I knocked on the door and went in. When I checked in to use the toilet, I found that there were many people on the book who had registered to use the toilet before. It seemed that we Not the first batch, hahaha. There is a very handsome armed policeman in the police room. A few of us chatted around the armed policeman. He is from Hunan. He went back when his service period was up in September this year. We chatted so much that we didn’t want to leave. Li Li was outside the police room. Dong Tong Xia couldn't stay any longer, so he came in and asked us if we wanted to leave. It was such a pity. I felt that if we chatted for a while, we could be added to the WeChat account of the armed police guys. We would go to the toilet another day, but the armed police guys here are very handsome. Especially in that outfit, everything shines. ?

Usually, Wu Huan and Pei Yong send me home. This time we sent him both home before we went back. It was already past 12 o'clock when we got back. Li Dong showed us what his parents had been. The photos taken when we were in Xinjiang include the scenic spots in Hongshan Park, so we planned to go to Hongshan Park after sleeping and waking up. He wanted to follow the footsteps of his parents, and we just went to see the scenery, because Brother Zhu drove us there the first day. When we passed by, we said that Red Mountain Park was beautiful and worth a visit. ?

Because it was a 4:30 pm train, we woke up, packed up, and hurriedly went to Hongshan Park. By coincidence, we bumped into someone checking their cell phones on the road, not far from our home. place. It's not very different from the parks I've been to before, but it's still beautiful, especially the tower, sitting on the rocks with the wind blowing, it's very comfortable. And because it is very high, climbing up and looking into the distance will broaden one's mind. ?

I was tired from walking around the park, and the time was almost up, so I came out of the park to find a restaurant to eat, and entered a noodle shop called a noodle shop. I thought the noodles were better, but it turned out that it was better. It tastes terrible. There is too much soy sauce in the spinach and gluten. There is too much soy sauce in the shredded potatoes and it is not delicious. The side dishes of the noodles are also not delicious. They are expensive, tasteless and the portion is small. I will never eat here again. . ?

I went to Urumqi South Station to take the train. Li Dong took a bus nearby. It was the first time I took the BRT after coming here for so long. It was still very good. At least it was more stable than the bus. It cost 17 to commute to get off work every day. On the road and the 907 bus, the drivers really feel like they can’t stand firmly while driving, and they feel like they want to fly but can’t. ?

When I arrived at the train station, I found that the train was delayed for 50 minutes. After waiting for a long time, I finally got on the train to Kashgar. As soon as I got on the train, I climbed up to the upper bunk to sleep at lightning speed. I was really sleepy. I was so sleepy that it was time to have dinner as soon as I woke up. I didn’t buy anything to eat, so I bought instant noodles on the train. When I ate instant noodles, my brother at work gave me eggs, and my sister gave me naan and grape yogurt. It didn’t matter at all. Lack of food. After eating delicious food, I relived Wolf Warrior again and was very moved. "Anyone who offends China will be punished no matter how far away it is." After eating and washing up, I got off the train at Korla Railway Station and walked around for a while. After all, I always heard Brother Tong talk about Korla, so I felt an inexplicable affinity for it. Then I posted it on Moments, enjoyed the night view, and returned to On the train, I climbed into bed and watched two episodes of Nirvana in Fire before falling asleep.

?

I didn’t arrive in Kashgar until 11 o’clock on Monday. The train was delayed for 2 hours, and I couldn’t catch up after chasing it all night. After getting off the train, I went directly to the town of Nezerbagh, the place where ethnic groups unite and unite families in our unit. I saw old men playing traditional musical instruments and girls dancing. The most important thing is that there is a basketball court in the courtyard of the town government. , although a bit crude, but very exciting. The yard is beautiful, and there is a large cage with several peacocks in it.

The Peacock in the Village Committee Courtyard

For lunch, we went to a restaurant with very ethnic characteristics. The decoration is very beautiful, the front entrance looks very grand, the restaurant layout is good, simple and elegant, The paintings on the walls are very ethnic-style, especially the two large beds, which are covered with golden mattresses. They are very comfortable. Except that the rice is too oily and the noodles are not delicious, the noodles are not bad. Everything else is good. Okay, I think I can't enjoy this blessing. Their meat should be authentic mutton and beef, but I can't eat it. It's a pity. ?

After dinner, we are going to see our relatives. We are accompanied by the only male minister in our unit. The minister is super nice. I followed Minister Gao to the village where he had been stationed for two years. He walked and stopped all the way, telling us interesting stories about his past, taking us to visit beautiful courtyards, taking us to eat delicious food, and taking many photos for us. . At the village committee of the second village, Minister Gao built a "convertible" for us, which is a tricycle. We took the car to the home of a Uighur elder sister. She led the women in the village to open a tailor shop and make their own clothes. I went to her store. There were many beautiful clothes, food, clothing, housing and transportation. Clothes are the simplest yet most exquisite things that we Chinese pursue. Clothes of various colors and styles were hung there. I was in a good mood, and they Making your own clothes and wearing them yourself will give you that feeling. Then I followed the eldest sister to her yard. As soon as we entered, there was a large corridor with carpets on it. We could sit directly there. There was a grape trellis in the courtyard, but it was too high. Besides, her grapes were not for eating. It is used to shade the sun and is very cool. ?

The Uighur eldest sister invited us into her house as guests. As soon as we took off our shoes and walked in, the floor inside the house was covered with carpets, which were soft when we stepped on them. A large landscape painting was hung on the wall. The living room It is very high and very cool. There is a big table with blankets and mattresses around it, so you can sit cross-legged. The eldest sister brought us a lot of food, cut watermelons for us to make tea, and fried eggs for us. All the delicious food was brought out for us, and they even wanted to make us rice, but Minister Gao stopped us. Minister Gao told us that during the festival, they would sit next to each other like this. There were all kinds of food on the table, and then there was a particularly large plate of meat on the table, and the dishes were served in small dishes. It was served and passed around to everyone to eat some, and then they drank and ate meat, which was very joyful. Chinese people pay attention to living in clusters, with three generations living under the same roof and four generations living under one roof. Lively and lively places are always popular.

The children in the old village party secretary’s house

After leaving the eldest sister’s house, we went to the old village party secretary’s house in this village. As soon as we entered, there was a long grape trellis. The grapes are within reach, and there are a dozen children, who are very cute. Their eyes are all beautiful, with big eye sockets, black eyeballs, clear eyes, and long eyelashes (the children here all have eyelashes) Huo Jianhua's eyelashes are so long, I'm so envious), and his black and thick eyebrows are dirty from playing on the ground. One of the children in particular was holding a basketball. I chatted with him and asked him if he could play. He said yes. Several other boys came over and we discussed basketball together. Then I showed them the basketball very tactfully. He took the photos in the game, told them how great Curry was, and also promoted Curry. The children asked me what my name was, and I said my name was Geng Miao. Then Minister Gao said that you should ask them what their names were. I turned around and asked. After they finished speaking, I looked confused because I didn’t understand them at all. . Saying goodbye to the old party secretary, I went to the old party secretary's son's home. His family raised sheep. Originally, the lambs were lying in the corner. The children let them graze, and the lambs stood in a row, which was very cute. The son of the old branch secretary just came back from outside and brought us some native peaches to eat. Although they looked a bit ugly, they really tasted like peaches. I didn’t like peaches very much and I ate two of them. ?

Taking photos of children, they are very conscious of smiling at the camera, and the photos are very beautiful. I use cute photos to take photos of them, and show them. They smile so happily. One of them is a little kid. The kid is the little boy holding the basketball. He is really camera-savvy, and he is cool, cool, and so cute. There was also his younger brother, who sat there naked and ignored us, silently immersed in his own world and unable to extricate himself. There were two little girls who were particularly shy and looked at us with embarrassment. After talking to each other, He said sweetly, "Sister, when will you come again?" The screams of "sister" made people's hearts melt. After we walked a long way, the children kept following us. I didn’t like children before, I could say I hated them, but seeing how cute they are, I don’t seem to hate children so much anymore. I really want to go to Kashgar to see them again.

The one at the back is the very aloof little brother

Then we followed Minister Gao to the family where he was related. He was an old man. Minister Gao told us that last year his The body is still very good and the spirit is very good. When we went to Urumqi, we played, talked and made trouble. When we saw him this time, he looked much older. An illness last winter made this thin old man look much older all of a sudden. . When you go to the old man's yard, you can clearly see that it is very dilapidated. Minister Gao said that he is ill and in poor health, and his wife is also in poor health and taking medicine. The family has no other income and has two daughters. The eldest daughter is studying in university in Urumqi, and the younger daughter is still in middle school. The burden is also very heavy. Some of the country's poverty alleviation policies cannot be implemented due to some procedural reasons. Due to illness and financial pressure, this old man is about the same age as Minister Gao, but He looks much older than Gao Zhang, which makes people feel very uncomfortable and sad. Looking at the old man's cloudy eyes, he couldn't help crying and turned around and left the yard. ?

Walking on the path in the village, the sun shines through the gaps in the leaves of the poplar trees, and the breeze blows slowly. The whole person feels particularly comfortable. There is a kind of golden autumn in October in my hometown village. The feeling of walking inside is that the sky is blue, the clouds are white, the sun is warm, it is very relaxing and relaxing. ?

We walked back to the village committee along the village path, waiting for everyone to gather and go to the train station together. Because it was a 12 o'clock train, it was still early and it was not dark yet, so we were in the snack street Get off the bus there. It's a place like the International Grand Bazaar. There are many tourists. It has a unique ethnic-style building and a large square with pigeons on it. Walking inside, there are many shops and a lot of food, but it's a pity to bake buns. There were so many people in front of the store that it was a pity not to have a meal and bake buns.

There was a girl who really liked eating naan, so I went to buy naan with her. She said that the naan in the village costs 1 yuan, the naan here costs 2 yuan, and the naan in Urumqi costs 3 yuan. I smiled and said, the more It's getting more and more prosperous, but things are getting more and more expensive.

Walking in the small alley, there were very few people. Looking at these beautiful houses, I didn’t want to leave. Across the road is a famous snack street that sells figs. Originally, we wanted to buy some and taste them, but we saw that they looked too ugly, so we didn’t buy them.

When we came back, Minister Gao asked us if we had eaten figs. We said we didn’t buy them because we didn’t think they were ugly. Minister Gao said very regretfully, how can we dislike someone’s ugliness? The uglier they are, the more ripe they are. The more delicious it is. But it’s really ugly. Although it’s not good to judge something by its appearance, it’s so ugly that it really affects your appetite. Well, I’ll definitely try it next time I have a chance. ?

The road signs are very good

But the snack street looks good. The key to eating a lot is that there are many people and a lot of meat. It looks very happy. Unfortunately, it seems that they are all mutton and beef. There are some foods that I can’t tell what they are. I just look at them, but I really can’t enjoy them.

After strolling around until it was almost dark, we took a car to the train station. Looking out the window, the night view of Kashgar was pretty good, especially a hotel called the Potato Head Hotel. The moment our car happened to pass by, All the lights outside are on, so beautiful.

I passed East Lake Park on the way. The building above the lake is very beautiful, like a flower. Kashgar is really Xinjiang. It is a combination of modernity and ethnicity. It feels like you have truly arrived in Xinjiang.

It’s just that the time was too short, so I didn’t go to some places like Xiangfei’s Tomb, and I didn’t see the friends who came from Taiyuan to Urumqi to play Werewolf together on the train in a hurry. Go in a hurry. If you have the chance to come again, you must experience the beautiful place of Kashgar. ?

The Legend of Figs

The train arrived at Urumqi South Station at 5 pm the next day. During this period, I basically didn’t get out of bed and lay down to sleep. I felt very tired after riding continuously. , and I feel dirty because I can’t take a shower.

I finally arrived and took the bus for almost an hour, and had to walk back. Speaking of this, I have to mention one thing. Before I came to Xinjiang, I heard that people would check their mobile phones on the streets.

When we went out to the bus stop on Saturday, we passed by that intersection and our cell phones were checked. As a result, when we came back to that intersection this time, our phones were checked again. To be honest, our phones were checked this time. I was really reluctant, and I got angry immediately. I wanted to go back quickly, but I just checked the same place twice the day before yesterday. At that moment, I was really angry. ?

I didn’t go to work when I came back. I quickly took a shower and changed clothes when I got home. As a result, the power went out just after I took a shower and before my clothes were washed, and the little power I had ran out.

We don’t have the electricity card, and we can’t pay the electricity bill, so we have to be in the dark. Thinking of going to a friend's place to get some food, I walked towards him and bought a lot of food along the way. I especially liked the big bag of milk, which cost 5 yuan per kilogram. Think about the milk from our Agricultural University, it's so cheap.

I still miss the milk of Agricultural University a little bit. I miss the uncle or little brother who sells milk, bucket by bag. Every night, the light on the dark campus of Agricultural University makes people feel very sad. Warmth, especially in winter when classes are over in the evening, buying a bag of milk is very warm and considerate.

Oh, I digress, let’s continue talking about this milk. It’s cool and delicious without sugar. There’s also my favorite cold chicken drumsticks with shredded potatoes. If I had known better, I wouldn’t have gone to his place and I’d have just bought it myself. To eat, there is nothing at home, including pots and pans. ?

I wanted to write a diary when I got home after dinner, but there was no light. I went to bed earlier. Maybe I was too tired from the car ride and couldn’t wake up on Wednesday morning. In fact, I woke up at around 7 o’clock and took a look outside the window. Keep sleeping. The room is so cold. I woke up from the cold in the middle of the night. I curled up under the quilt in the morning and didn’t want to come out. Oh my God, heating is only available here in October. It’s not even the end of August yet. It’s getting colder and colder in another month. How to live when it gets colder and colder. ?

The work unit has a meeting today, and a busy day has passed. The lunch in the cafeteria is still as unpalatable as ever. I took Brother Zhu's car back from get off work in the evening. Brother Zhu was wearing a suit today and he looked super handsome. I was really hungry. The spicy rice noodles I ordered were pretty good, but it was a pity that I didn’t finish them. I had an allergy for some reason, I didn’t know what, and it was very itchy. I took allergy medicine and went to bed quickly. The medicine was so effective that I couldn’t wake up on Thursday morning. I felt cold, sleepy, and uncomfortable. I really didn’t want to go to work. ?

There is another meeting today. Because there are leaders outside to inspect, the food in the canteen seems to be better today, but it is still very unpalatable. After eating, I went to sleep and couldn't wake up. I keep having inexplicable dreams and it’s so uncomfortable. The afternoon was not very busy. I distributed tickets to the expo. I was so happy. I could go play and see many ethnic ornaments and foods. After all, the name was so fancy - Asia-Europe Expo.

Asia-Europe Expo

I met a dog on the way home from get off work. I laughed when I saw it. When I saw this dog, I thought of extreme challenges. When I think of extreme challenges, I Thinking of Sun Meili, oh my god, it doesn't look too much like him, and then blurted out Sun Honglei, and my little friend laughed. He said don't do this, but his expression was very honest, and his smile was trembling.

I also remembered that during the Extreme Challenge, they each got a dog. They thought it looked very similar to Sun Honglei. Today I finally saw a real dog. It really looked like it, especially those eyes. Don't be too similar. ?

Oh my God, I finally finished writing. My hands hurt from typing. It’s really tiring to type on my mobile phone. When will we have wireless so that we can use computers without having to do this? tired.

I also want to go to Kashgar again and walk to the edge of Xinjiang. I feel that that is the real Xinjiang. The process of urbanization has gradually assimilated or replaced many things with national characteristics. Being in Urumqi is like changing from one city to another. If you don't know your location, you won't feel like you are in Xinjiang. If you don't look at the map, it doesn't seem to be much different. ?

Do you still remember the dream you had when you were young, like a flower that never withers, accompanying me through the wind and rain, seeing the impermanence of the world and the vicissitudes of life. I have come to the other side of the motherland. I have walked so far. Let’s go. Let’s learn to grow up. There are some distances that are not impossible to walk alone. It’s just that maybe it will be better with you. If I don’t have anything else to say, then Go alone.
