Summer self-driving tour in Xinjiang: brave the Huoyan Mountain in Turpan and the interactive Karez Folk Park

📽Because of the 1982 version of "Journey to the West", I have known about the mysterious place in the Western Regions, the Flaming Mountain, since I was a child. Not afraid of the high temperature of over 50 degrees, we braved the Flaming Mountain. Above the rolling sand dunes, the crisp sounds of camel bells echoed in the wind. Step into the filming location of many film and television works~the mysterious and shocking Wanfo Palace. The ancient palace seems to carry a thousand-year-old story. The traces of time have settled here, and every carving tells the glory of the past. Wander through it and feel the pulse of history with your heart. 📜Coming to the Karez Folk Customs Park in Turpan is like opening a middle school textbook again. Go into the museum to learn about the history of Karez. Karez is like the blood of the earth, silently flowing with stories of wisdom and hard work. The karez is like a poem worth reading, and its beauty needs to be savored carefully. Xinjiang girls wear traditional Uyghur costumes, fill gourds with water from the karez, and sprinkle it on the hands of guests, wishing them coolness and good luck. Today, the Karez Folk Culture Park has also upgraded its interactive performances, and Turpan’s first outdoor immersive performance is now on stage. It was as if one had stepped into a magical world, as a grand ceremony to mark the opening of the karez water system was in full swing. Culture, history and folk customs are like bright stars shining together, and the singing and dancing nation attracts people who stop here.
