Today's weather in Xiata

Xiata is a Kirgiz minority township in Zhaosu County, Yili Prefecture, Xinjiang, where the famous Xiata Ancient Road is located. The ancient road/KLOC-is more than 0/00 kilometers, with high altitude, long journey and changeable weather. It is difficult to cross the glacier, and there have been many shocking events.

However, ordinary donkey friends don't have to rush to cross the ancient road. You can see a large glacier on the ancient road in the scenic spot and experience the fun of hiking. The story of my pony crossing the river is in the scenic spot.

Get off at the scenic spot and you will see a large glacier in Mouzard, meadows, rivers and Woods. The grass is full of all kinds of flowers, and chubby groundhogs appear from time to time. Many tourists will come back after visiting here.

But this is only the beginning of hiking, and only a hiker like me will keep walking inside.

Inside, the flower sea is more prosperous and the Woods are more primitive. Even the groundhog is getting bolder and bolder. Some prairie dogs will yell at you. You can find it by following the sound and see it standing in front of the hole with its head held high. But you should look at it more and talk to it seriously, and it will run back to the cave at once.

Few people went in, and then I was left alone. Walking to the innermost cabin, a little girl came out and told me that there was no one in front and let me have a rest. The cabin can be used, so I stayed.

Later, I learned from the little girl that there will be a beautiful lake if you go straight in, but it will take about three hours to walk. She said it was too far to go. Counting the time, I decided to go in alone It's 3 o'clock now, and it will be dark after 10. If I don't arrive at 6 o'clock, I'll come back.

So I came to the lonely valley, walking in the open world, walking through the flowers and plants in the valley, accompanied by flowers and plants, I am fearless. After more than an hour, I finally came to the forest.

There are several people and horses by the Woods. I am very happy to see someone appear. When they saw me, they looked surprised and asked me, "Did you come here? Did you come alone? Not afraid? There are skeletons here! " When I said I wasn't afraid, one of my eldest brothers took me to see the skeleton.

Seeing a skeleton really appear in front of us is not a fear, but more a sigh of impermanence. This used to be a living life, with joys and sorrows, as well as love and hate. After Sri Lankans left, they failed to be buried in the ground, leaving a living corpse, which has been weathered for hundreds of years until it turned into a pile of bones.

The skull is sandwiched between cracks in the stone, which is not big enough to hold a person, so the skull is on the ground outside the cracks in the stone. I wonder if the owner of the skull died in a crack in the stone, or was abandoned here after death?

Eldest brother said it was left by Kang Xiping when he rebelled against Junggar. There are still many skeletons in the forest. He advised me not to go and go back quickly. I can ride a horse to drive me. He also said that the lake I want to go to is still far away, and I can only go up for an hour or two, that is, I can see the whole canyon and there is no one else in the lake. I hesitated several times, and there were many reasons for returning, but finally I refused the request that my feet had been numb for a long time and continued to go up.

When I was leaving, my eldest brother told me that if I walked along the road, I wouldn't meet a skeleton. The skeletons are all in the Woods.

Not long after I left, I met two minority children with two big dogs and a bag on their backs. Is this hunting? They replied, "well, hunting, there are wolves in the mountains, so be careful." Are there wolves? I'm a little scared. I asked how far the lake was and told me for half an hour. There is no reason to go back. Keep walking.

It wasn't long before I met two people carrying the same bags as before. I didn't know they were here for geological survey until I asked. The bag is full of stones picked up from the mountain. Just now, two children were their guides. They told me that the lake was just ahead and would arrive soon. I'm so happy. Sure enough, it didn't take long to arrive.

This lake is really not worth seeing. The mountains around the lake are as shabby as those dug by excavators, and the shore and bottom of the lake are also dug. There is no lake, only sand and silt, just like a construction site. The glacier seems to be farther away from us. The Tex River runs down from the glacier, not into the lake, but directly from the side, with a rapid flow and a huge rumbling sound. Standing here, all I can hear is the whistling wind and the rumbling water.

Standing at the highest point on the shore of the lake, I can see the whole canyon I just walked through. At this time, I still can't see anyone. Those four men should have been walking through the Woods just now. Have the brothers crossed the valley and the grassland?

Over the mountain, I found no one waiting. At this time, I didn't feel so lost. Although there is no beautiful plateau lake as I imagined, I don't regret climbing it myself. Without this struggle, I wouldn't have had such an experience.

It took an hour and a half to get here from the cabin, not three hours as the little girl said; It took only 20 minutes to get up from the Woods, not an hour or two as those bosses said; I only met my children for 10 minutes, not half an hour as they said.

Like a pony crossing a river. How deep the river is, you still have to try and experience it yourself.

I hesitated and struggled all the way, but fortunately I never gave up. In life, many things in our life are not as difficult as they seem or others say. The key is whether you have the courage to go out and persist.
