Introduction to a road suitable for self-driving travel in the deep valleys of Xinjiang

There is such a route in Xinjiang. Although it does not have a specific name, it is very suitable for self-driving travel. The editor still wants to recommend it. There are vast grasslands and charming canyons! Also on this road is the Gossip Town of Truss! In the ravines and deep valleys, the mountains are full of wild flowers. After a heavy rain, the grasslands will bloom quickly! This road spreads under the Tianshan Mountains and lies on the border of Xinjiang!

Basic highway information:

This route starts from Kuokesu Grand Canyon, passes through Kalajun Grassland, Tekes Bagua City, and finally reaches Kuldening Town. The entire journey is 220 kilometers long.

Detailed introduction to the attractions:

Tex Bagua City:

This line starts from near the Kalajun Grassland in the canyon and passes through the Ake section and X766 , arrived at the first attraction, Tekes Bagua City. It is the only small town in China that is shaped like the Bagua. The whole city is built in the shape of the Bagua. The best place to watch is in the Bagua Center of the county. You can overlook the whole county and have a panoramic view of the Bagua City. Then go down through some sections of S220 and S316, and then enter the Baoke section to reach our next attraction, Kurdening.

Introduction to the road conditions of the line section:

Part of the S220 section

When passing through Tekesdaban, the road here becomes narrower and the road is paved with gravel. The road surface is occasionally washed away by floods and mudslides, and this is also an area with a high risk of mudslides. If traveling by car, it is best to control the speed within 40--60KM. After this section, after passing Turks, the road conditions improved, and the originally gentle area appeared, and the road surface became smooth.

Part of S316

This is the best place to stop and play. The scenery along the way is beautiful, with green meadows all over the ground, cattle and sheep roaming, overgrown pastures, and cars driving in the canyon. , very comfortable. The scenery is like being in Hulunbuir! However, the road surface is very gravelly, which causes heavy wear on the wheels of the car, and the road condition is not good. A warm reminder, pay attention to the Kazakh and Mongolian herdsmen and their sheep on both sides. There was once a story of dead cattle and sheep being extorted here.

The magnificent Kuokesu Grand Canyon

After climbing the Kalajun Mountains, you reach the Kuokesu Canyon. From the highest point, you can overlook the canyon. The terrain in the canyon is steep and the cliffs are steep. , there are only green grass and no other trees in the valley. The average depth of the canyon is more than 700 meters. Standing on the mountain, you can watch the sun rise in the distance and have a bird's-eye view of the canyon, surrounded by mountains and ravines.

Nine twists and turns

The mountains block the road and only allow the water to make nine twists and turns. The river in the valley is gentle, nourishing the green vegetation on both sides. Some say the water here comes from the melting of mountain snow! Herdsmen’s yurts and white yaks live side by side here. There are looming and looming dots among them, and the artistic conception is beautiful. It is a hidden place in Xinjiang.

Crocodile Bay

It is named because the mountain resembles two crocodiles lying at the bottom of the valley. It is a famous attraction in the Kuokesu Grand Canyon Scenic Area.

Kalajun, wilderness on the ridge

Kalajun Prairie means "black fertile vast wilderness" in Kazakh language. It is located in the transition zone from the Western Tianshan Mountains to the Ili River Valley in Xinjiang . With abundant rainfall and fertile soil, it is the location of "Khan Grassland", the largest racecourse in ancient China and the summer capital of Wusun in the Western Regions. It is the best place to enjoy autumn.

As we continue on, the weather and climate have changed, from winter to the Kalajun Prairie in summer. Due to the changes in the geographical environment, the spring-like green grass is at its most beautiful. Kazakh herdsmen gallop on their horses in the vast fields covered with flowers, and a pastoral natural picture comes to mind. The scene here is the most common grassland scenery in Xinjiang, and it is also the most desirable.

Kalajun Mountain is a mountain range that stretches east-west. On both sides of it are mountainous areas covered with dense ravines. The mountain plains are undulating and covered with dense virgin spruce forests. The top of Kalajun is a seamless high-platform landform tilting to the south, with luxuriant grass and blooming flowers, like a stretched green carpet that stretches all the way to the foot of the snow-capped mountain.

Many cattle and sheep are raised on this road, which is a natural breeding farm! From mid-June to mid-September every year, it is the golden season for cattle and sheep to mature in the Kalajun grassland. At this time, the cattle and sheep had become fat, and the livestock from nearby counties such as Tekes and Gongliu all moved here to escape the summer heat and gain fat again.

Kalajun Lake

Kalajun Lake, when the water is calm, is as deep as emerald. Under the snow-capped mountains, under the sun, the lake water shows a gradient tone of dark blue, sky blue, and green. . There are dense layers of fragrant grass on the lakeside. I just want to lie in it every day.

Tekes is said to be the largest and most complete Bagua City in the world. Tekes County is located in the northwest of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains. It is a city without traffic lights. The streets are laid out like a magical maze, with connected roads and connected streets.

Kurdening

Our last stop, this place is in the eastern mountainous area of ??Gongliu County. Kuldening means Henggou. Kuerdening is 86 kilometers away from the county seat. It is a broad valley in the mountains running from north to south. The most unique thing here is that most of the general ravines go down the mountain, but this broad valley is parallel to the snow-capped mountains.

Kurdenin is located among many green mountains, surrounded by water streams, winding mountains and intertwined ravines.

Above the grassland is the forest, with deep gorges and broad valleys appearing alternately, and the alternation of meadows and shrubbery confirming the vastness and ruggedness of our great Xinjiang.
