3. Alpine grassland-Lujiaowan

Lujiaowan, located 80km southwest of Shawan County, is one of the best grasslands at the northern foot of Tianshan Mountain. It is the low valley and hilly area of Habiga Mountain, with gentle surface fluctuation and endless grassland, with a vertical and horizontal area of 50 square meters. Lujiaowan used to be the breeding ground of Tianshan red deer. Flocks of red deer shed their horn shells once a year, leaving a lot of antlers in the mountains and waters, hence the name Antlers Bay. Lujiao Bay has beautiful natural scenery, patchwork scenery and strong layering. The scene of "four seasons in one mountain, ten miles in different days" is vividly displayed here, and it is an ideal summer resort.

There are not only beautiful grasslands, but also natural hot springs. The highest water temperature is 52℃ and the lowest is 39℃.

4. Colorful Bay-Dream gobi jade-Guhai Hot Spring

As early as the "Jurassic" hundreds of millions of years ago, thick coal seams were deposited in Wucaiwan Scenic Area. After wind erosion and rain stripping, the sandstone on the surface of coal seam is completely eroded. After exposure, lightning and fire, after the coal seam is burned out, sintered rocks accumulate, and the mineral content in different geological periods is different, so the rolling hills in this area are mainly ochre red, mixed with yellow, white, black and green. After wind, rain and sun, it is also "Ya Dan landform". Seen from a distance, it looks like a city wall and an old castle, hence its name. Every morning, in the sunrise or sunset, it seems to be still burning, magnificent and rare. Careful people can also find agate stones, gobi jade, precious stones and paleontological fossils in the scenic spot.

Guhai Hot Spring is located in the vast and mysterious Gurbantunggut Desert in Kalamaili Nature Reserve, adjacent to National Highway 2 16. Hundreds of millions of years ago, this was the tidal Wang Yang. After several geological movements, it changed from ocean to lake and from lake to swamp. Our ancient sea hot springs are bred from ancient sea sedimentary water. According to the water quality appraisal analysis of Chinese Academy of Sciences, this water has a history of 770 million years and is rich in 26 active elements such as bromine, lithium, strontium, boron and silicic acid. It has remarkable curative effect on arthritis, gout, scapulohumeral periarthritis, hemiplegia, muscular atrophy and dermatosis, and has a very beautiful skin beautifying effect.

Precautions: Gobi has strong ultraviolet rays and few obstructions, so it is better to do a good job of sun protection, preferably full-body sun protection. The whole process is relatively dry, so it is necessary to prepare enough drinking water. It is best to prepare personal belongings in advance for soaking in hot springs. There are not many restaurants along the expressway, so it is recommended to bring your own snacks.

5. Grape Valley-Flame Mountain-Kumutage Desert

Grape Valley, located in the northeast of Turpan 1 1 km, is a canyon under the Flame Mountain. There is a Buyi Ruke River in the ditch, and the main source of water is mountain snowmelt. It is named because it is rich in grapes. It is a national 5A-level tourist attraction, which is very cool and comfortable even in midsummer, and it is an excellent place for holiday and summer vacation.

Flame Mountain is located in the northern edge of Turpan Basin. Locals call it "Qizil Tage", which means "Hongshan", and it was called Chishi Mountain in ancient times. The flaming mountain, the mountains and the mountains, the grass is barren and the birds' songs disappear. In midsummer, the red sun is in the sky, the reddish-brown mountain is brightly illuminated by the scorching sun, the sand and gravel are burning and flashing, and the hot airflow is rolling up like a flaming flame, so it is also called the Flame Mountain.

Located near Shanshan County, Kumutage Desert is one of the desert tourist attractions closest to the city in the world. In summer, the temperature is as high as 50℃ to 70℃, and the heat wave attacks people, so it is called "open-air sauna room". Standing high in the county seat, you can see the desert scenery. The heat wave is rolling on the sand mountain, the water is gurgling under the sand mountain, and the trees are swaying. Some people come here to seek sand therapy. There are also Tuyugou Thousand Buddha Cave excavated in the Jin Dynasty, Tuyugou Mazha, one of the holy places of Islam in Xinjiang, Lukqin, the birthplace of Muqam, a Uygur folk art, and other places of interest.

Coordinates: Shanshan Turpan

Take the road trip route: Turpan is 0/80km away from Urumqi/KLOC, and Shanshan is more than 280km away from Urumqi. You can enter Lianhuo Expressway from the river beach, take G3 12, and drive into Turpan section. The downtown area is on the right and the scenic spot is on the left. The road conditions are very good.

Special food: roast whole sheep, Uygur handmade cold rice noodles, barbecue.

Note: The highest temperature in Turpan has soared to 38 degrees in May, and June is a hot summer day. Traveling can be cooler, but the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, so the weak need to bring a thin coat. When traveling, you should prepare enough drinking water, pay attention to the deterioration of food after high temperature, and the most important thing is to do a good job of sun protection, preferably full-body sun protection.

6. Bosten Lake-Tianshan Grand Canyon

Bosten Lake, which means "oasis" in Uygur language, belongs to a landslide lake, and its main recharge source is Kaidu River, which is also the source of Peacock River. This lake can be divided into two parts: a big lake and a small lake. The area of the Great Lakes is nearly 1000 square kilometers, while the area of small lakes is only 100 square kilometers. Guang Mao reed grows in the lake area and is an important reed production base in China. In addition, Bosten Lake is rich in all kinds of freshwater fish and is the largest fishery production base in Xinjiang.

The Uyghur language "Kyzilia" means "Red Cliff". The mysterious "Tianshan Grand Canyon" is a canyon in the Kizilia Mountain, a branch of Tianshan Mountain, which is a reddish-brown rock formed by the wind and rain erosion of nature for hundreds of millions of years. The red-brown mountains of the Tianshan Grand Canyon soar into the sky, like clusters of burning flames under the sunlight. The charm of "Tianshan Grand Canyon" lies not only in its majesty and precipitousness, but also in its profundity, tranquility and mystery. Standing at the bottom of the valley and looking up at the mountains, I only feel that the steep peaks seem to be pressing down at any time, which makes people feel suffocated and dizzy.

Coordinates: Bayinguoleng, Yanqi County, Korla City and Kuqa County.

Go on road trip route: more than 400 kilometers from Urumqi to Bosten Lake, and more than 300 kilometers from Korla to Kuqa Grand Canyon. You can take the armory highway to enter 2 16 south, to Barentai, to enter the national highway 2 18, and continue straight south to Bosten Lake.

Tianchi Lake in Tianshan Mountain, called Yaochi in ancient times, is located on the mountainside of the northern slope of Bogda Peak in fukang city. The planned area of the scenic spot is 548 square kilometers, which is divided into 8 scenic spots, 65,438+05 scenic spots and 38 scenic spots. It is a typical mountain-type natural landscape in arid areas of northwest China. The elevation of the lake is1910m, the length from north to south is 3.5km, the width from east to west is 0.8 ~1.5km, and the depth of the lake is103m. Surrounded by spruce by the lake, the snow peaks are reflected, which is very spectacular. It is a famous summer resort and tourist attraction. The cause of Tianchi Lake is ancient glacier erosion-terminal moraine dammed lake and landslide dammed lake. Tianchi Lake in Tianshan Mountain, snow peaks reflected, spruce surrounded, clear water like a mirror, picturesque scenery.

The Tianshan Mountains stretching for thousands of miles are located in the hinterland of Eurasia, and a steep mountain peak appears from its east. At that time, descendants of Genghis Khan came here and were impressed by its grandeur. They named the mountain Bogda, which means "God" in Mongolian. Bogda mountain range is east-west, with an altitude of 5445 meters. The mountain is high and steep, the cornerstone is exposed, the stone piles are everywhere, the snow is all year round, the cold is dangerous, and the glaciers are numerous. They are natural mountain solid reservoirs and the birthplace of many rivers. It is also one of the open peaks in China.

Precautions: the weather in mountainous areas changes greatly and the temperature is low, so it is necessary to bring cold-proof clothes.

Introduction to Xinjiang:

Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, referred to as Xinjiang for short, is located in the northwest border of China, with an area of 6,543,800 square kilometers, accounting for one sixth of the total land area of China, and is the largest provincial administrative region in China. Xinjiang is located in the hinterland of the Eurasian continent, with a land border of more than 5,600 kilometers. It borders 8 countries including Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Pakistan, Mongolia, India and Afghanistan. Historically, it was an important passage of the ancient Silk Road, and now it has become the only place for the second "Eurasian Continental Bridge", and its strategic position is very important.

The geographical pattern of Xinjiang is simply three mountains sandwiched by two basins-the three mountains refer to Altai Mountain, Tianshan Mountain and Kunlun Mountain from north to south, and the two basins refer to Junggar Basin sandwiched between Altai Mountain and Tianshan Mountain and Tarim Basin sandwiched between Tianshan Mountain and Kunlun Mountain. Usually we say that southern Xinjiang and northern Xinjiang are bounded by Tianshan Mountains, with northern Xinjiang in the north and southern Xinjiang in the south. There are Kanas Line, Yili Line and Turpan Line in northern Xinjiang, and Pamir Line and Desert Line in southern Xinjiang.

Xinjiang is so big and there are so many scenic spots. What should I do?

Xinjiang is divided into two parts: southern Xinjiang and northern Xinjiang. Tourists usually recommend and plan their own tourist routes according to southern and northern Xinjiang. Northern Xinjiang is mainly mountainous areas, lakes, virgin forests and grasslands. Representative scenic spots include Tianshan Tianchi, Cocoto Sea, Kanas Lake, Harmony Village, Rainbow Beach, Ghost Town, Sailimu Lake, Nalati Grassland, Zhaosu Grassland, Harqin Grassland, Bayinbuluke Swan Lake and Dui. May-September is the most beautiful season in northern Xinjiang every year, so traveling in northern Xinjiang is also the first choice for many tourists at this time. However, Kanas, Harmony and Sailimu Lake in winter also have their own charm, and the skiing holiday in winter has gradually become a hot spot in northern Xinjiang. Southern Xinjiang focuses on the desert, Populus euphratica, canyons, plateau scenery and rich ethnic customs in Xinjiang. Representative scenic spots are Turpan, Kumutage Desert and Luobu Village. Tarim River Populus euphratica Forest, Taklimakan Desert, Kuqa Grand Canyon, Qizil Thousand Buddha Cave, Wensu Grand Canyon, Kashgar Old Town, Karakule Lake, Tashi Anshi Town, Panlong Ancient Road, Hotan Tuancheng, Wadaishi Bazaar and other southern Xinjiang are suitable for year-round tourism to explore Xinjiang's rich and simple folk customs and authentic cuisine, especially when Populus euphratica leaves yellow in the autumn of 5438+ 10. It's not a day or two to visit so many famous scenic spots. If the time is only 5-8 days, you can play a Kanas loop or Yili loop alone. If you have days above 10, then you can play the northern ring road of Kanas+Yili+Duku Highway, or take a trip to ethnic minorities in southern Xinjiang. If you have 65,438+05-20 days, then we can plan a bus trip to northern and southern Xinjiang to catch the beautiful scenery, folk customs and authentic food of the whole northern and southern Xinjiang.

Charter tour is your first choice for traveling in Xinjiang;

Xinjiang is so big, how can we play more comfortably? Bian Xiao suggested that we take a charter tour. The following are the reasons for recommending chartered travel. First of all, Xinjiang covers an area of10.6 million square kilometers, and the city is far from the scenic spot. Sometimes, the number of kilometers per day by car is about 400-500 kilometers, which leads to long travel time and hard work for everyone. It's better to take a bus than a bus. Secondly, there is a saying in Xinjiang that "the most beautiful scenery is always on the road". In Xinjiang, beautiful scenery is everywhere along the way. It is essential to stop and take photos when encountering good scenery, especially the Dooku Highway and Zhao Yi Highway, which are beautiful throughout, and only vehicles with less than 7 seats can pass. Therefore, only chartered travel can fully meet your needs of enjoying the scenery and taking photos.

Here are some classic routes suitable for your chartered tour. You can decide when to come and where to go;

It is often said that the peak season in Xinjiang is May -65438+ 10. Lv Kun's development led to his fall, and iridium exploded his talent.

1-February: Hexie Snow Town, Kanas Snow Town, Kashgar and Mutag Glacier in southern Xinjiang. At that time, Xinjiang was vast and sparsely populated with beautiful scenery.

March-April: Attention, spring is coming in Xinjiang. This is a good time to see apricot flowers. Apricot flowers in Tashkurgan County (Datong Township, Bandier Township), Xinghuagou in Nalati. ...

May: Southern Xinjiang gradually enters summer and northern Xinjiang enters spring. Kanas is not in spring yet, so we have to wait for the grass to be green. At this time, you can see the flowers in Yili in full bloom, and the scenery is different according to the different flowering periods.

June-August: Xinjiang is fully open. All Xinjiang is a good place to go.

September: Don't go to Yili at this time. Once the grassland in Yili is yellow, it is not so beautiful. The main scenic spots are Kanas and southern Xinjiang.

65438+ 10 month: Kanas birch forest, Populus euphratica in southern Xinjiang.

165438+ 10-65438+February: the same as1-February.

Bottom line: Xinjiang is so beautiful that you can visit it all year round.

The above are some of the best tourist routes in Xinjiang recommended by Bian Xiao. Please refer to them. The routes recommended by Bian Xiao are all the ones I have taken personally. According to many years' experience in running a tourism team, I personally advocate that travel is for relaxation and the beautiful scenery I see is for relaxation. Therefore, I don't recommend traveling on the road. If I continue to travel in order to see more scenery, I will eventually be relaxed and tired because of the scenery. My last memory is in the car and my last feeling is on the road, so don't mind that my trip will be more than others 1-2.
