What are the famous tourist attractions in Xinjiang?

Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region is a world-famous hometown of songs and dances, melons and fruits, and precious jade. Located in the central part of the Eurasian continent, in the northwest of the motherland, it covers an area of 6,543.8+0,600 square kilometers, accounting for one sixth of China's territory. Xinjiang has a vast territory, vast territory and abundant resources, magnificent mountains and rivers, boundless sea, historic sites everywhere, numerous ethnic groups and peculiar folk customs. Tourism resources are extremely rich. China has 68 kinds of tourism resources, while Xinjiang has 56 kinds, accounting for 83% of the national tourism resources. Xinjiang has more than 1 100 scenic spots, ranking first in the country. In this vast land, glacier snow-capped mountains and the vast Gobi Sea were born. The plateau landscape is contained in the world famous mountains such as Tianshan Mountain, Altai Mountain and Kunlun Mountain, and there are many snow glaciers, peaks, waterfalls and exotic animals. North and south of Tianshan Mountain, the vast rivers and mountains are magnificent and changeable. Mirror-like alpine lakes set off endless forests, and oases separated by Gobi crisscross the desert edge, with fragrant flowers and fruits and full of poetry and painting. There is the second highest mountain in the world at an altitude of 8,600 meters, and the lowest depression in China at an altitude of 154 meters, that is, there are rivers that drain thousands of miles, grasslands with blue waves, fantastic Gobi dreamland and mysterious desert wonders. The well-preserved primitive animal and plant populations show the uniqueness of nature.

The combination of Xinjiang's natural scenery and the long-standing western culture has formed a unique cultural landscape in western China. The famous ancient city of Loulan Gaochang was once the capital of the kingdom on the ancient Silk Road. Many grottoes and thousand Buddha caves shine with the brilliance of ancient western culture. A large number of stone carvings and ancient tombs in primitive society are the life marks left by our ancestors. Rich historical relics add profound connotation and strange colors to Xinjiang's natural scenery.

Xinjiang is also a truly open folk museum. Thirteen ethnic groups living in the world have formed their own unique humanistic customs because of their different cultural and historical backgrounds, religious beliefs and inhabited areas. These humanistic customs are integrated with the peculiar natural landscape, which makes Xinjiang full of novelty and mystery.

There are Altai Mountain in the north of Xinjiang, Kunlun Mountain, Karakorum Mountain and Altun Mountain in the south. As a symbol of Xinjiang, Tianshan Mountain crosses the central part, forming Tarim Basin in the south and Junggar Basin in the north. The area south of Tianshan Mountain is called South Xinjiang, the area north of Tianshan Mountain is called North Xinjiang, and Hami and Turpan basins are called East Xinjiang.

More than 500 rivers are bred by the ice and snow in the three mountain ranges in Xinjiang, which are distributed in the basins in the north and south of Tianshan Mountain, including more than 20 rivers such as Tarim River, Yili River, Erqis River, Manas River, Wulungu River and Kaidu River. On both sides of many rivers, there are countless oases, idyllic buildings and face-to-face villages, which are quite rich in scenery outside the Great Wall. This is the main base for generations of people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang. There are many lakes with beautiful natural scenery in Xinjiang, with a total area of 9,700 square kilometers, accounting for more than 0.6% of the total area in Xinjiang. Among them, there are ten famous lakes: Bosten Lake, Ebinur Lake, Bulento Sea, Ayagkuli Lake, Sailimu Lake, Aqigekule Lake, Whale Lake, Liji Lake, Aksai Lake and Esman Lake.

The snow-capped mountains and ice peaks in Xinjiang have formed a unique large glacier with a total area of more than 24,000 square kilometers, accounting for 42% of the national glacier area, with an ice reserve of 258 million cubic meters. It is a natural "solid reservoir" in Xinjiang. The great desert accounts for 2/3 of the country's desert area, of which the Taklimakan Desert covers an area of 336,700 square kilometers, which is the largest desert in China and the second largest mobile desert in the world, second only to the Lubuhari Desert in Arabian Peninsula. The Gurbantunggut Desert in Junggar Basin covers an area of 48,000 square kilometers and is the second largest desert in China, which is rich in oil and gas resources and mineral resources.

Xinjiang's land is rich and beautiful, vast and magical; The people here are hospitable, that is, generous and warm, simple and friendly; This is the kingdom of poets, the treasure house of painters, the paradise of historians and the paradise of tourists!

There are 47 ethnic minorities in Xinjiang, of which 13 is the main ethnic group, and their eating habits are different, which has created countless gourmet snacks in Xinjiang. Their unique cooking methods and eating habits are unique in the world food culture!

Xinjiang is located in the inland of the motherland and is strongly influenced by the mainland climate. There are many ethnic minorities here. Most residents like to eat mainly meat, and beef and mutton can be seen everywhere. Therefore, when you come to Xinjiang, you must try the local roast whole sheep, as well as the real Xinjiang mutton skewers, lamb and hand-grabbed rice.

The staple food in Xinjiang is mainly pasta, which is called "Naan" locally and is apricot yellow with thick sides and thin middle. There are sesame naan, meat naan and layers of naan, such as Kenan. It is a kind of cake made by mixing fermented flour, light salt water and flour and baking. When cooking, punch countless small holes in the thin part of the bottom of the bowl and stick it on the wall of the bowl for stewing. Ten minutes later, the crispy and delicious naan was out of the pot. This kind of naan can be kept for a long time, so many tourists will take this kind of food home to taste when they come to Xinjiang.

Because Xinjiang has a long light time, the melons and fruits here are sweeter than those in other places, so Turpan's grapes and cantaloupes are famous at home and abroad.

Xinjiang is vast and sparsely populated, so accommodation is inconvenient. In some places, there are not only hotels or guest houses, but also no residents, only vehicles such as cars and tents.

The topography of Xinjiang is very different, including the second depression in the world-Lake Aiding in Turpan, next to the Dead Sea in Jordan, and the second peak in the world-Mount Qogory, next to Mount Everest.

Xinjiang's cultural tourism resources are also unique. The Silk Road runs through Xinjiang, and the sites on the ancient road, such as Gaochang Ancient City, Loulan Ancient Site, Hami Mausoleum and ChristianRandPhillips Tomb, are all worth visiting. Coupled with the rich ethnic customs and the sweet fruits of the four seasons, it is indeed a desirable tourist paradise.

There are 236 ancient cultural sites, ancient tombs, ancient buildings, ancient caves and temples (Thousand Buddha Cave), stone carvings and modern memorial buildings with historical, artistic and scientific research value in Xinjiang, of which 10 is listed as a national key cultural relic protection unit.

In addition, the discovery of Altay Rock Painting Gallery and Junggar dinosaur fossils has attracted the attention of experts and scholars at home and abroad.

Xinjiang has developed transportation, forming a three-dimensional transportation hub with Urumqi as the center and aviation, railways and highways radiating the surrounding areas.

Aviation Xinjiang is the province with the longest route and the largest number of air stations in China. Airports have been built in Urumqi, Kashgar, Hotan, Aksu, Kuqa, Korla, Qiemo, Yining, Altay, Karamay, Tacheng and Fuyun. Urumqi has flights to all parts of the country.

Traveling in Xinjiang by Train | (9) Day 6: Tomur Grand Canyon

Tomur Grand Canyon, also known as Kuduruk Grand Canyon, is located in Wensu County, Aksu City, Xinjiang, which means "thrilling and mysterious" in Uighur. It is the only place leading to the Muzate ancient road in the northern and southern Tianshan Mountains, a national AAAA scenic spot and the ninth batch of national scenic spots.

As soon as I got off the bus, I felt a sense of deja vu-like Dunhuang in Gansu, the red mountain stood in front of me, bare, not very high but very solid.

However, if you look carefully, it is different from the mountain in Dunhuang. It has fine layers and distinct gray and white, like a large piece of thin pork belly, which is the favorite of housewives. Big enough for a thousand people to feast, haha!

When we were sitting in the scenic spot, the traffic car bumped on the riverbed and went deep into the canyon. The shape of the mountain changed and the colors became colorful.

Someone threw a layer of light green powder from top to bottom-a big steamed bread with mildew-and my direct reflection was that this imagination was not very beautiful, so I quickly put it aside. "Matcha", yes! It is matcha color! I sprinkled a layer of matcha powder to make the mountain look like jade and feel beautiful.

The car stopped in an empty valley extending in all directions, and we got off and looked around, stunned.

Every mountain seems to have been chopped down vertically with an axe. We stood at the bottom of the cliff, looking up and holding hats.

The strangest thing is that Fiona Fang is not as big as a football field, and the shape of each cliff is different. Some parallel layers are like thousand-layer cakes; Some are like castles, with stone pillars standing, overlapping floors and towering into the sky; Some were squeezed, twisted and arched like big dinosaurs, and their huge paws stepped on the ground, shocking and towering, strange and solemn.

At first, I walked in the middle, afraid that the flying stones at the top of the cliff would fall. Seeing them approaching, I was also uneasy and stepped forward. Naturally, a craftsman not only waved a huge axe, but also picked up a meat cleaver and carved beams and paintings like Huizhou's old house on the cliff. The characters are lifelike and the scenes are endless.

I don't know how many years it has been working, and it is as hard as cement road. Except for the stone completely exposed on the sand surface, it is futile to dig out a half-buried one.

The deeper you go along the river bed, the higher the cliff, the weirder it is and the smaller the people are.

According to reports, Tomur Grand Canyon has five landforms: Danxia, Ya Dan, Ya Ya Dan, rock salt karst and salt dome bottom crack structure. It was formed by the Mesozoic Cretaceous more than 100 million years ago, after hundreds of millions of years of floods, heavy rains and strong winds.

In front of the creator, man is like a desert and sand, and his heart is in awe.

Starting from the "Golden Triangle" tourist train around northern Xinjiang, the Xinjiang railway department continued to exert its strength along the three railway passages of north, middle and south, and comprehensively laid out the tourism map of Xinjiang, and successively launched the "Meet Dunhuang" tourist train and the "Dream Fire Island" EMU train.

1, "Wear fur coat in the morning, wool in the afternoon and eat watermelon around the stove" is a typical portrayal of the climate in Xinjiang. Xinjiang belongs to continental arid climate, with large temperature difference between day and night, and significant climate differences in different seasons and at different altitudes. In case of bad weather and the temperature changes from warm to cold, please pay attention to changing clothes in time and do a good job of precooling and heatstroke prevention. The temperature difference between morning and evening can reach about 10 to 15 degrees. Generally speaking, you still need to prepare a coat or sweater when you travel in summer.

2. Some areas in Xinjiang have high altitude and strong ultraviolet radiation. For example, the highest temperature in Turpan in summer can reach more than 40 degrees. So please carry sunscreen with you, and at the same time, you should be equipped with drugs or particles that clear away heat and relieve summer heat.

The climate in Xinjiang is dry and windy. I suggest you pay more attention to drinking water and prepare lip balm around you.

4. Xinjiang has long lines and scattered scenic spots. So it is easy to get tired after sitting for a long time. Please be prepared for hardship and pay attention to rest. When traveling in Xinjiang, some scenic spots require you to get off, walk, climb mountains or ride horses. I suggest you prepare a pair of comfortable and easy-to-walk shoes before you leave.

5. Pay attention to the time difference: Xinjiang is in the East Eighth District and Beijing is in the East Sixth District. There is a two-hour time difference between Xinjiang and mainland cities such as Beijing, and tourism activities are generally arranged from 9: 00 to 20: 00.

6. Xinjiang is known as the "hometown of melons and fruits". Eating fruit in Xinjiang is a great pleasure, but be careful not to drink hot tea after eating fruit to avoid diarrhea.

7. Xinjiang is a region where ethnic minorities live in compact communities, and each ethnic minority has its own unique religious beliefs. Visitors are advised to respect the customs and habits of ethnic minorities, have more contact with ethnic minorities, and don't ask questions or talk about their religious beliefs in public, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings. Except for Mongolians, all ethnic groups in Xinjiang basically do not eat pork. When you arrive in Xinjiang, do as the Romans do and give up the habit of eating pork for a while, so it will be more convenient to go anywhere.

8. Tianshan Mountain in Xinjiang has beautiful scenery, but most areas are backward and the accommodation and catering conditions are poor. Some accommodations can't provide standard rooms and showers, and the meals are simple, mostly ethnic fast food.

9. Xinjiang is rich in natural products, and the native products and handicrafts of ethnic minorities are also a must. However, please note that local civil aviation and railways have an embargo on Uighur craft knives.

10. The scenic spots in Xinjiang are far away, and the drive is long and boring. It's best to prepare some snacks and plenty of water.
