Ili baishifeng journey composition

The main peak of Baishifeng is 3475 meters above sea level. Baishifeng is the peak on the ridge of Wusun Mountain, and the three peaks are arranged in an east-west direction. The terrain of the peak area is dangerous, surrounded by steep walls, with the highest north slope and relatively wide peaks. This peak is composed of Carboniferous limestone, which looks gray from a distance, so it is named Baishifeng, which is called Shayan Hada in Xibo language and also means White Peak.

The landscape of Baishifeng is very different. The peak area above 3000 meters is abrupt, with white stone as the top. The snow stopped at 2700-3000 meters, and the green and white set each other off; Below 2700 meters, the forest is dense and the grass is lush. Magnificent peaks, waterfalls flying in the mountains, unpredictable weather and colorful mountains. All kinds of rare animals and plants deeply attract tourists coming and going, or stop to watch or chase. Mysterious caves, huge mushroom stones, holy water on the white peak ..... are waiting for tourists from all directions.

The magical white stone peak soars into the sky. In summer, white clouds surround her, and in winter, white snow wraps her tightly. She is always so white and mysterious all the year round.

For thousands of years, although Bai Shifeng has not recorded her history in words, people living at her feet have passed down her story from generation to generation: in the legend of Xibe nationality, she defeated the evil black and white troll with her own justice, which opened the way for people to be free and happy, but left the troll's fingerprint on her forever. It is also circulated among Kazakhs and Uighurs: According to legend, three immortals once drank wine and recited poems in the mountains, and proposed to choose cemeteries for their respective tribes, taking the archery place as the standard. As a result, an arrow shot at the Ili River; An arrow hit the red trench; Another arrow hit the side of Lake barrs (now Kazakhstan), and later all three places became "Mazha" (Uyghur: graveyard). Up to now, there are stoves used by immortals and footprints of archery and bow-pulling on the top of Baishi Peak ... Myth or legend, in people's minds, Baishi Peak is the representative of strength and the embodiment of justice, which will always fascinate future generations.
