The Sailimu Lake that I have longed for, this tear of the Atlantic Ocean, is finally seen, like a blue curtain, making it difficult for us to distinguish the boundaries. Arrive at the Sailimu Lake Scenic Area, known as the last tear of the Atlantic Ocean. The weather is beautiful, sunny and cloudy, and the temperature is 30°C, which is a bit hot. On the other side of the lake, the spruce trees on the hillside are lush and lush, with blue sky and white clouds as the background, and there are people playing. Paragliding. Selim Lake is the highest mountain lake with the largest area in Xinjiang. It is also the place where the warm and humid air from the Atlantic Ocean lasts. Therefore, it is also known as the "Last Tear of the Atlantic Ocean."

Walking towards Yining, the scenery along the way became more and more beautiful. Gradually we could smell the faint fragrance of lavender. There are many local farmers growing lavender. Now is the best harvest season. We chose The most ornamental thing is that you can smell a fresh fragrance when you step into the manor. Although the manor is not big, this Oriental Provence, with the purple all over the sky, is still very ornamental. The color of the flowers and the fragrance are both touching the heart and mind. To be honest. The photo effect is more beautiful than the actual one!

The lavender garden in Qinghe County, before entering the garden, the fragrance of the flowers wafted out first. There are two lavender fields in the garden, one is blocked by ropes, and later I heard it is a seedling field; the other is open, and tourists are taking pictures in the field, but the distance between the fields is large and the flowers are light in color. The weather is very hot, with the temperature at 36°C. Not very appealing.

The Xiata Ancient Road disappears into the ruts in the sky. Perhaps it has not disappeared, but leads to the back of the hillside, drilling into a higher hillside. Behind the hillside, behind the hillside, there are further and higher. The mountains grow into the world of ice and snow in the sky. It's just that I didn't discover it. The ancient country is far away and its traces are hard to find. Only the clear breeze and bright moon of Tianshan Mountain have never changed their appearance for thousands of years, lovingly guarding this vast wilderness.

Some people say, "God did not take away Van Gogh, but left him in Xinjiang - in a certain section of the Anjihai Grand Canyon." China National Geographic Magazine called it "Abstract Painting from the Present" The rivers and canyons flowing out of it." There are green peaks, red mountains, black cliffs, green islands, clear water, and colorful stones such as red, yellow, white, green and black in the valley. It is like a ribbon flying at the foot of Tianshan Mountain. It is the most colorful grand canyon in China. Under the blue sky, huge ink paintings spread out one after another. The rich colors and graceful lines were so harmonious. This natural artistic style fascinated the painter.

This non-attraction site has no tickets and no tourists. Even navigation is difficult to find the place and requires local people to guide the way. It is breathtakingly beautiful, but not many people know about it. Its deepest point is 400 meters, and it is extremely precipitous. The "peaks" are like sharp swords soaring into the sky, like knives and axes chopping, which makes people frightened. The key is that the mountains and cliffs are not made of hard stone, but a mixture of sand, gravel and soil. The soil is very loose. Most of the people who come here do not dare to stand. They just lie down on the edge of the cliff to take pictures, and even need someone to pull them behind. Keep your legs open to ensure safety. Standing on the edge of the cliff is as shocking as overlooking the vast land from high altitude.

Driving on a straight road, the grasslands on both sides are vast and boundless, giving people a particularly open feeling. Winding up the mountain, except for large trucks transporting coal, there are almost no other vehicles. The temperature ranges from 34 The temperature suddenly dropped to 16 degrees, and a different kind of scenery suddenly appeared in front of us, which was surprising. The sky gradually brightened, and we found a large lawn. Everything seemed to be unique to us. We witnessed the miraculous workmanship of nature. Feeling the spectacular scene of the Anjihai Grand Canyon, this scenery with no tourists, no shuttle buses, and no tickets is a perfect ending to this trip!

The beauty of Xinjiang cannot be recorded with a camera, and what I can see is only the tip of the iceberg in DJI. I just silently record everything I can see and feel. If a trip to Tibet is the cleansing of the soul, then a trip to Xinjiang is the freedom of the heart! Before the trip, I thought it would shock me, but unexpectedly, it was so plain, yet deeply buried in my heart, silently enriching my life and allowing me to live forever. , with a big heart, broad and calm.

I think that I must go to Xinjiang at least once in my life. When other cities have fallen into a deep sleep, the day in Xinjiang still refuses to end; On the way, on the way to the scenic spot. To appreciate the beauty of Xinjiang, it is best to walk leisurely and take photos leisurely. In fact, the meaning of travel to me is not only seeing the scenery, but also an exploration of the unknown. Explore slowly by yourself, even if the process is not perfect, you will still gain something.
