The back mountain of Qiongkushitai, Xinjiang

The back mountain of Qiongkushitai, Xinjiang

A small Kazakh village hidden deep in the Tianshan Mountains. A seven-hour round trip by car, passing through grasslands, forests, and streams along the way. During the day, we rode horses to the back mountain and saw magnificent mountains, vast grasslands, dense forests, and simple wooden houses. Such beautiful scenery, it would be a shame not to take more photos to make up for the hardships of the journey. This is the most arduous spot of the entire trip, driving up the mountain road for more than three hours, staying overnight, and then riding a horse for an hour to reach the back mountain the next day. Driving on the mountain road made me nauseous, and riding the horse made my butt sore. The scenery was nice, but it was too exhausting. Taking photos was still good, and there was an autumn scene~ But the whole trip took seven hours by car and two hours on horseback. It was a bit not worth it.

Xinjiang in July really found a glowing summer!

Xinjiang in July really found a glowing summer!

🌵 Xinjiang in July is really too beautiful 🌵 Many people ask for travel tips for this trip to Xinjiang, but I think there's not much to write about. However, I can still offer some advice to avoid any pitfalls ❤️ Xinjiang is really huge, and our trip was mainly in Northern Xinjiang. Northern Xinjiang is so large that we spent a particularly long time in the car 🚗 every day, almost five hours of travel each day, so if you're traveling to Xinjiang, whether with a tour group, self-driving, or hiring a car, it's best to wear comfortable clothes for sitting! Don't wear clothes that are too tight, it will be very uncomfortable ❤️ Xinjiang is like this, the terrain is 'three mountains surrounding two basins', with Northern Xinjiang being north of the Tianshan Mountains, and Southern Xinjiang being south of the Tianshan Mountains. Southern Xinjiang is mainly Uighur, while Northern Xinjiang is mainly Han, Kazakh, Mongolian, and other ethnicities. This time in Northern Xinjiang, there were many ethnic groups, and the food was mainly beef and mutton, basically just beef and mutton, with chicken occasionally. The customs of different ethnicities are different ❤️ Xinjiang really has scenery everywhere, and wearing clothes with high color saturation for photos in any place will make you stand out more, basically, every scenic spot offers 'travel photography' services! The local travel photography services include a full package of clothing, makeup, styling, and photography ❤️ The places we visited this time include Sayram Lake, Kanas, Hemu, Nalati, Colorful Beach, and Tianshan Tianchi. I highly recommend spending more time at Sayram Lake, Kanas, Hemu, and Nalati, it's so enjoyable! Other scenic spots are more or less the same~ But these places are very photogenic, and the photos are all beautiful ❤️ The sun in Xinjiang is very strong, so be sure to do a good job with sun protection before going out, including physical sun protection and sunscreen, otherwise, it's easy to get sunburned, and even if you don't get burned, you will get very tanned. ❤️ Sayram Lake is worth taking your time to enjoy, the lake is very large, with a 90-kilometer circumference around the lake. The days at Sayram Lake are really enjoyable, the scenery has a sense of depth, and the lakeside is suitable for camping, sitting down to quietly enjoy all the beautiful scenery in front of you~ My Top 5 Scenic Spots 🌿 Sayram Lake Known as the last tear of the Atlantic, the blue of Sayram Lake is definitely not to be missed, the summer Sayram Lake is like a palette overturned by God 🌿 Qiongkushitai Like stepping into a fairy tale forest, Heidi and her grandfather's style cabin is also here, and you can swing in front of the snow-capped mountains and sea of clouds 🌿 Chaxi Forest Park Spruce trees form a forest, streams flow through the mountain gorges, and horses gallop on the grassland, it's the scene of my dreams 🌿 Nalati Grassland Grasslands, snow mountains, forests, streams, herds of cattle and sheep, every time the wind blows the grass waves and the clouds roll, it refreshes my imagination of a fairy tale world... 🌿 Kanas Revered as the garden of the gods, also known as the Eastern Little Switzerland, the beauty of the lake and mountains is breathtaking, definitely making you linger and forget to return

June Snapshot! The summer in Xinjiang is so beautiful it's divine

June Snapshot! The summer in Xinjiang is so beautiful it's divine

The summer in Xinjiang is so beautiful it's divine. From Sayram Lake to Kanas, every day is stunned by different landscapes. Forests, lakes, wilderness, seas of flowers, snow-capped mountains, each place is as unrealistically beautiful as an oil painting. 🚗 Transportation Advice Self-driving or chartered car: The mountain roads are rugged, and off-road vehicles are more suitable. 🏞️ Kanas Village Travel Guide Internet-famous swing: Located at Yunhai Mountain Villa, facing the snow mountains and forests, swinging is a super healing experience. Backhill cabin: The same type as in 'Heidi and Grandfather', with the primitive forest under the snow mountain, there is a small yellow flower sea nearby, and around 8 pm you can enjoy the beautiful golden sunset and afterglow on the mountains. Ancient road entrance: Next to Kanas Village, with dense forests and babbling streams, suitable for hiking and stream tracing.

Xinjiang's Kanas is very remote, but it is incredibly beautiful

Xinjiang's Kanas is very remote, but it is incredibly beautiful

This place really feels like a secret realm cut off from the world, hidden deep within the mountains, with rolling hills, alpine meadows, snowy forests, herds of cattle and sheep, and the wooden cottages of primitive villages. The various landscapes are interwoven together, truly forming a picturesque scene. Attraction🌳Kanas Address🌳Under the jurisdiction of Tekes Karadala Township Village Ticket🌳Free, horse riding 80 per hour, all day 488 Transport🌳Self-driving or chartered car ✔️Tour Route 1️⃣, Alpine Lake Route 5 hours back and forth by horse, 9 hours if hiking 2️⃣, Kalajun Route The whole journey is 18km, takes about 4 hours 3️⃣, Ushun Ancient Trail Route 2 hours back and forth, if you are short on time it is recommended to take this route, but the scenery is not as good as the other two routes. ✅Travel Tips , It takes about 3 hours from Tekes to Kanas, there are many winding roads, be careful when driving. , It is recommended to stay for 2 days here, one day is not enough, especially if you include time for taking photos. , I think the most beautiful scenery is behind the mountain, with grasslands, steeds, snow-capped mountains, and wooden cottages, which requires about 3 hours of hiking. , The temperature on the mountain changes a lot, you need to bring a thick coat. . ⭕️Photogenic spots ✔️, Heart-shaped Grassland: Behind the mountain, you can overlook the heart-shaped forest, the further you go, the more beautiful it gets. ✔️, Behind the mountain waist: The internet-famous swing, sunset photography looks very good ✔️, Internet-famous Bridge: There is a small stream on the right hand side when entering Kanas village that is good for photography, and further inside is the internet-famous bridge. .

Why is the beautiful summer resort of Kalajun, more beautiful than Binalati, not mentioned by anyone

Why is the beautiful summer resort of Kalajun, more beautiful than Binalati, not mentioned by anyone

⛱️Kalajun💕Kalajun💕Why are you so low-key!! I regret not having left a full 2 days for you~ One day is simply not enough💕 / The clouds disperse, the sun sets, flowers for the stage, clouds for clothes, grass for skirts, people become immortals, at this moment Wowwoww just can't stop✔️In May and June, the boundless flower sea blooms, and in the vast world, I truly feel the fairy tale under the snow mountain! It really exists~ You don't need to hike to see the beauty of Kalajun!! I can't imagine what kind of fairyland it would be to traverse its hinterland~ / 🌄Travel tips: 1️⃣The full ticket for Kalajun is divided into East and West Kalajun, and the Kekesu Grand Canyon (requires one day). If you only play on the grassland, you must choose self-driving!! Navigate to the Bulak ticket station~ The scenery along the way is also non-stop!! 2️⃣Transfer to an interval car at the Wanna Service Area to arrive, it is recommended to walk from the Flower Terrace to the Falcon Terrace to enjoy the view! The whole wooden plank road is not afraid of getting lost~ The essence is all here~ It takes 15 minutes to walk from the Flower Terrace to see the swing!! Most tourists just stay at the initial plank road and don't move!! If you can't walk, you can ride a horse, the average price is 80 yuan/h / 🏠Accommodation tips: Choose to transfer from the city of Tekes to Qiongkushitai 2h/Kalajun 1h/Kurdening/2h, quality sleep is very important to me every day!! I can't talk about meticulous selection but I fell in love at first sight - GuiZhu Homestay, right next to the city that never sleeps walking machine, there is food right outside the door~ This accommodation has a very holiday feel, and the room is also equipped with a small washing machine, and the drinks in the fridge are also local~ Girls really understand girls / 💗Other tips: 1️⃣Xinjiang is not popular for getting up early~ Shops open one after another at 11 or 12 o'clock~ You must go and eat the praised milk skin ice cream!! We ate it several times over and over~ I would be very sad if you don't eat it! 2️⃣Red rose's oily mixed noodles, Ma Bai's lamb chops and pulled noodles, eat eat eat
