Not Switzerland, this is the beautiful Xinjiang
This year, the grasslands in Xinjiang turned green earlier, so there's no need to worry too much anymore. Those who want to visit Xinjiang can start packing and set off. The Labor Day holiday is also very beautiful ❣️Nalati: "The place that sees the sun's face first." Surrounded by snow-capped mountains, April to June is the flower viewing season, so those who love seas of flowers can get ready to depart. The climate is also quite comfortable, a good place to escape the heat haha. If you go in the morning, you can enter the scenic area and take a bus to the aerial grassland, get off at the nomadic homes, and head to the popular bridge to snap lots of photos, as the morning is very photogenic. If you go in the afternoon, wait until around 15:30 to enter the scenic area. Most people will be leaving, so there's no need to queue. Choose the direction of the 'coiling dragon', and in the valley grassland, you can see herders driving cattle and sheep, which is also quite pleasant. ❣️Sayram Lake: Half mountains and rivers, half lakes and seas. Visiting the south shore in summer offers a better experience. The collision of yellow flowers and the blue lake, plus the swans playing in the water, creates such a beautiful scene, which is why so many people love it here. ❣️Hemux: Romantic Kazakh style. Although Hemu is more moving in autumn, it gives a tranquil and soul-cleansing feeling in summer. Here I suggest you enjoy a stay in a log cabin. At night you can watch the moon and twinkling stars, and wake up to see the sunrise. ❣️Shatā: Every summer, it's unbelievably beautiful here. The ice and snow slowly melt, flowers bloom, and the meadows are lush green. It has long staircases, a beloved place for hiking enthusiasts. Hiking here will reward you with a lot, as you'll encounter squirrels, marmots, and various small animals, as if you're on a treasure hunt. 🛣️Duku Highway: Open only 4️⃣ months a year, so it's quite crowded during that time. Those who like self-driving can take a trip, it's worth it. More people travel the northern section, but the scenery in the southern section is also very good, leading to the 'Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns' of Bayinbuluke.

Traveling to Ili | I think I suddenly understood the meaning of travel
Summer in Xinjiang's Ili is unparalleled in my heart. I have the opportunity to go there again this year To experience the surprises it brings me along the way To listen to the wonderful melodies of nature Everyone should take the time to visit Ili once Ili will not disappoint you in summer. For me, going to Xinjiang is truly a pleasure. To feel the wild scenery To experience the local customs To enjoy the vast green grasslands To admire the romance brought by the stars at night Must-visit spots in Ili: 1⃣️ Sayram Lake In summer, a vast expanse of blue lake merges with the sky. Wearing a fairy dress and walking along the lakeside road to take photos is especially nice. 2⃣️ Nalati Grassland Here, there are valley grasslands and 'sky grasslands' with a fairy-tale-like forest stream. From April to May, the mountains are full of wildflowers, and a few horses are scattered in the dense forest. This kind of scenery seems to be seen only in animations. 3️⃣ Bayanbulak Grassland An endless flat grassland, passing through the winding roads, you can also see distant️ snow mountains, the setting sun is about to fall, and the golden light sprinkles on the grassland and lakeside, you must experience the indescribable beauty. 4️⃣ Northern Section of the Duku Highway There are no specific attractions here, but the scenery along the way is enough to touch my heart, with grasslands, snow mountains, and lakes along the way, which are super suitable for shooting highway blockbusters. 5⃣️ Yizhao Highway I like the road from Zhaosu to Yining, feeling the shock and beauty brought by nature. 6⃣️ Shata Ancient Trail This is a romantic paradise for hikers. Mountains, rivers, forests, glaciers, and grasslands form a natural ecological wonderland. 7⃣️ Qiaxi Forest Park As a niche attraction covered by the traffic of Nalati and Kanas, it is actually an overlooked beautiful grassland, low-key, quiet, beautiful, and cost-effective. If you go to the grassland in summer, it must be due west. 8⃣️ Kuerdening This is a place where the forest is particularly lush, and also where painters and photographers find inspiration. 9⃣️ Kalajun Grassland I really marvel that Xinjiang is a magical place. It seems to have burst into 'Howl's Moving Castle'. At first glance, the mountains are full of wildflowers, which is so beautiful. 1⃣️0⃣️ Qiongkushitai I like to take photos and stay here. The magnificent grasslands and lush spruce forests form a distinct watercolor painting. Soon to welcome the lush meadows A divine-like pastoral sea of flowers, blue sky and white clouds️ sky Horses and cattle all over the mountains, the starry sky and the cabins at night My love for this place has never stopped It's not an exaggeration to call it a 'divine-like wilderness' 🧡【Warm Tips】【Warm Tips】： 1. Remember to bring sunscreen and mosquito repellent on the grassland 2. There is a big temperature difference between day and night in Xinjiang, remember to bring a coat oh

Prof. Vergie Farrell MD
After spending a month in Xinjiang, I have some advice on what not to do
Don't ask how much the train ticket costs💰, ask how many years of youth are left. I set off to the northwest of our motherland🇨🇳, wandering around Xinjiang for a month trying to find my lost soul. After coming back, the aftereffect was strong; I often found myself staring blankly at photos. I've put together this Xinjiang travel guide for you, and if you're thinking of going to Xinjiang, this is all you need❤️ ✈️First time to Xinjiang, where to start? Urumqi, as the transportation hub of Xinjiang, is very convenient👍. Whether you're heading to southern or northern Xinjiang, it's recommended to start from Urumqi because almost all tours and self-drive trips depart from here. ⚠️Things to note 1⃣Time difference: Xinjiang is 2 hours behind the mainland❗️Many ethnic minorities are accustomed to using Xinjiang time 2⃣Security checks: Security checks in Xinjiang are very strict, with multiple checks required at train stations and airports, so it's advised to go to the station/airport early. 🏠Accommodation recommendations: 1⃣Urumqi: Recommended to stay in the Youhao or Zhongshan Road shopping districts Kanas: Recommend staying in the city district of Beitun, followed by Jiadengyu or Burqin 2⃣Hemu: Recommend staying in the scenic area's log cabins, where you can watch the starry sky at night and increase your playtime during the day for a better experience❤️ 3⃣Sailimu Lake: It's recommended to stay in Qingshuihe Town or Huocheng County 🚙Our self-drive route Departing from Urumqi, we drove through Sailimu Lake—Huocheng—Zhaosu—Tekes—Qiongkushitai—Nalati—Duku Highway, and finally returned to Urumqi from Dushanzi The route is a circle⭕️ and is considered a classic Ili loop ps: The entire self-drive journey took 12 days, covering a total of 2300 kilometers, without rushing to destinations. We often drove for 5-6 hours a day⏰ I think it's necessary to rest and maintain a good state⭐️ 🗻Must-visit attractions 📍Qiongkushitai Meadows that stretch as far as the eye can see, fairy-tale-like foggy forests, log cabins with grass roofs, every sight is super healing 📍Huocheng Lavender Fields of purple flowers that ripple with the wind, truly romantic🔥 📍Tangbula Fairy Lake A little-known secret place that requires horseback riding up the mountain, accompanied by fresh flowers all the way, as if in Alice's Wonderland👍 📍Nalati Grassland Aerial grasslands and valley grasslands are absolutely stunning for aerial photography and self-driving! 📍Sailimu Lake 'The last tear of the Atlantic'💧If you have enough time, you must go for a self-drive around the lake 📍Duku Highway A road you must drive on once in your life! It usually opens around mid-June each year, experiencing all four seasons along the way. 🥙Xinjiang Cuisine Xinjiang's big plate chicken👍, lamb skewers, roasted lamb ribs, rack of lamb, roasted buns are really amazing, perfect for those who like strong flavors❗️ ps: There's also old yogurt, cold-water fish, hand-pulled rice, bao meat, and laghman noodles

The journey is exhausting, but the scenery is breathtaking, and photos can hardly capture the true beauty!
To the unforgettable 2019 After taking the Lanxin High-Speed Train to Urumqi in July 2019, my yearning for the beautiful landscapes of my motherland was completely unleashed. Over the course of more than three months, I visited Ulanqab in Inner Mongolia; drove the Duku Highway alone, covering a total of 1500 kilometers; set out on the first day of the 317 highway opening to complete the Sichuan West Great Loop self-driving tour. I traveled from Highway 318 to 217 to Daocheng, and then from Seda back to Chengdu via Highway 317, covering nearly 2500 kilometers; joined a group tour around the Qinghai-Gansu Great Loop, covering nearly 3000 kilometers; and rushed to Jiuzhaigou at the beginning of November just after it reopened to witness its regal return.

Traveling to Yili, searching for the meaning of life
In this vast world, as time flows, life is fleeting. Perhaps we are often trapped in the cage of life, or perhaps we are often troubled by the trivialities of reality. We are all searching, searching for a place filled with freedom and joy. When I think of freedom and vitality, the first thing that comes to my mind is the forests and grasslands of Yili, where there is the wind of the wilderness, the drooping grass, the vast grasslands, and the expansive snow-capped mountains. In the embrace of Yili, countless vivid stories grow in my heart, with brilliant gatherings, thrilling adventures, and even moments facing the grasslands with spring warmth and blooming flowers, far from the hustle and bustle of the world. Thus, dreams begin to sprout in my heart. I long to set foot on that distant land of Yili, to spend the summer of my dreams. Finally, I embarked on the journey. The rolling meadows and beautiful scenery that once invaded my dreams are now under my feet, within my sight. In the grasslands of Yili, I discovered that what once troubled me, made me anxious, and even drove me crazy, was actually just a seed in this vast grassland. When I merge the sea of bitterness in my heart into Sayram Lake, it becomes a soft blue, and I can no longer see the sorrows of the past. I start to look forward to traveling through Tekes without traffic lights, holding up a piece of perennial ice and snow on the mountains, searching for a white cloud in the forest sea, carrying the childhood dreams in my heart, lighting a bonfire in the desert, illuminating the starry Milky Way in the sky. Perhaps this is the meaning of travel. It gives us the opportunity to see with our own eyes the beauty of the world that cannot be expressed in words, and after many twists and turns, to find the land that can soothe our souls. My journey to Yili is like an open diary, recording every bit of my time there. From the pick-up in Urumqi, to the tranquility of Sayram Lake, to the romance of the lavender manor, the simplicity of Qiongkushitai, the mystery of Tekes, the beauty of Narati, the ruggedness of the Duku Highway, the grandeur of the Dushanzi Grand Canyon, to the winding of the S101 National Defense Highway, and finally back to the warmth of Urumqi. I hope that we can all find our own spiritual home in the wilderness of Yili, and find the true meaning of travel.

Dushanzi-Kuqa Road: A Magnificent Journey Through the Tianshan Mountains
It was an early morning, the sunlight streamed through the car window, casting its warmth on my expectant face. I set off alone in my car, embarking on a journey to Xinjiang's Dushanzi-Kuqa Road. Known as the 'Spine of the Tianshan Mountains,' this road had long been a mysterious and coveted presence in my heart. Before setting out, I had researched extensively, gaining a preliminary understanding of the beauty and peril of the Dushanzi-Kuqa Road. However, when I actually set foot on this road, I was still stunned by its magnificent scenery. The winding road cuts through the Tianshan mountain range, with sheer cliffs on one side and bottomless gorges on the other. The picturesque scenery unfolded like a scroll along the way, overwhelming my senses. My first stop was the Qiaolma Martyrs' Cemetery, where 168 martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the construction of the Dushanzi-Kuqa Road rest in peace. Standing in front of the martyrs' graves, I felt a deep sense of respect and emotion. It was these brave martyrs who, with their lives and sweat, paved this road to beauty for us. Continuing on, I arrived at the Bayinbuluke Grassland. The sky was a clear azure, and flocks of sheep wandered leisurely on the grassland. I was deeply attracted to this vast and tranquil grassland, as if I were in a natural ink painting. Next, I came to the Nalati Grassland. Compared to the Bayinbuluke Grassland, the Nalati Grassland was even more exquisite. The mountains undulated, the grass was lush, and flowers bloomed in abundance. I strolled along the road, pausing now and then to admire the poetic and picturesque scenery. By the time I reached the Mysterious Grand Canyon of the Tianshan Mountains, it was evening. The setting sun's afterglow cast golden shadows on the canyon's cliffs. I walked along the canyon trail, accompanied by the sound of flowing water and the distant songs of herdsmen. At this moment, I felt the mystery and tranquility of nature. As night fell, I chose to stay in a homestay in Kuqa County. The host was warm and hospitable, preparing a sumptuous dinner for me. In the cozy room, I reminisced about the day's journey, my heart filled with contentment and joy. The next morning, I set out on the Dushanzi-Kuqa Road again, heading to my next destination—Kanas Lake. The scenery along the way was still captivating, but my heart was filled with anticipation. I knew that every journey is a purification and growth of the soul. And the Dushanzi-Kuqa Road, this magnificent path through the Tianshan Mountains, will forever remain in my memory. This trip on the Dushanzi-Kuqa Road has made me profoundly appreciate the grandeur of nature and the resilience of humanity. Here, I not only enjoyed the beautiful scenery but also felt the value and meaning of life. I believe that in the days to come, I will set foot on this road again, continuing to explore unknown beauty and stories.

Xinjiang Duku Highway
Experience the temperature of four seasons in one day, witness the geomorphological changes from river valley grassland - alpine snow peak - plateau grassland - wilderness - Yardang - Gobi, and complete the transition from northern Xinjiang to southern Xinjiang. The 0 kilometer mark - Narat Grassland and Gongnaisi River This is a typical scenery of the Ili region. Tall snow ridge spruces on the hillside pastures, rapid clear streams in the gravel river valleys, and beautiful golden-brown steeds... It's very reminiscent of the Alps. The 30th kilometer - Lalu Daban This section is a mountain road and also the most scenic part of the journey. As the altitude increases, you gradually approach the snow-capped mountains and may even surpass the snow line. In this season, in addition to the deep green snow ridge spruces, there are also red-brown and yellow trees, rich in layers and intense in color. There are several viewing platforms along the road where you can stop to enjoy the scenery and play in the snow. The 60th kilometer - Bayanbulak Grassland In this section, you have already crossed mountains and ridges to reach the plateau grassland. Bayanbulak is China's second-largest grassland, and at an altitude of 2500 meters, such a vast flat grassland is surrounded by distant snow mountains, with horses, cattle, and sheep seen everywhere on the grassland. It's hard to describe the shock of what the eyes see. This section has almost 100 kilometers of flat straight road, which is very pleasant to drive on. You can eat in Bayanbulak town, or stop by the roadside to eat self-heating hot pot. The 150th kilometer - Tielimaiti Daban You have to take the mountain road down again. The scenery here transitions from northern Xinjiang to southern Xinjiang, with many wilderness and strange rock landscapes, vast and desolate, somewhat reminiscent of Norway's Trollstigen. There is a section where the road condition is not very good at the moment, belonging to an avalanche section, with one lane under construction, currently alternating one-way traffic. The 170th kilometer - Dahuochi On the way down the mountain, you pass by the Dahuochi scenic area. The green lake water is still beautiful, but after the previous extreme scenery, the heart is relatively calm here. The 240th kilometer - Tianshan Mysterious Grand Canyon (Hongshan Stone Forest) By the time you reach this point, the roadside is already completely in the style of southern Xinjiang. Yardang landform, huge red mountain bodies, eroded by the wind into rugged shapes. Be sure to go on a sunny day to experience the natural wonders. Another 70 kilometers, and you will reach the end of the Duku Highway, Kuqa. This is the ancient kingdom of Kucha, where you can stay for a night and experience this historically rich small city of southern Xinjiang 🏠

"Freedom? In nature, I'm quite wild!"
—— From 'In the Forests of Siberia' Imagine standing by Lake Baikal, the vast blue in front of you makes you want to shout: "Wow, isn't this just an enlarged version of Sayram Lake?" At the moment the movie ended, I seemed to have traveled through time and space, returning to Sayram Lake in February. Especially that sunrise on the ice surface, it's so beautiful that it makes you want to give nature an Oscar! Speaking of Teddy, this guy really knows how to have fun. He actually ran into the forests of Siberia, saying he wanted to explore the spiritual world. And the result? He lived a "lonely, cold" life by Lake Baikal. But on the other hand, such a life might help him find inner peace! Finally, I'll leave you with a golden line from the movie: "Escaping reality? Don't be silly, that's just a temporary shelter, the real home is in your heart!" Haha, it sounds like a chicken soup for the soul, but who says you can't have something warm in winter? Go watch this movie, it will definitely make you laugh and cry at the same time!
