Looking back on 2023, the most special thing this year is that I drove to Tashkurgan County for 11 days, saw the snow-capped mountains of the Pamirs, the tall and magnificent Muztagh Peak, the blue of Baisha Lake, and also went to the world's highest port Khunjerab Port, and also experienced the sacredness and solemnity of the boundary monument.
I also went to the oldest Kashgar Hotan and Kucha, thinking that Kashgar was backward and ancient, in fact, it was not, let me experience the Western Regions style singing and dancing, everywhere is happy Kashgar, people sigh that life here is so comfortable, in addition to the accommodation is expensive, the other ** is not expensive, the food and drink are dazzling, the architectural style here and all the pedestrian streets, surrounded by flowers, this is a romantic place, especially suitable for taking pictures. I ate the cheapest barbecue barbecue steamed buns yogurt dumplings and baked eggs in Hetian, the grilled buns larger than the palm of my hand are only 5 yuan, and the barbecue is also super large at 3 yuan.
Experienced the most terrible "desert highway" Luntai I to Minfeng section, but also thought that the desert highway has no signal, in fact, otherwise there is a signal basically intermittently throughout the whole process, the last more than 300 kilometers is the real "sea of death", the temperature in May is as high as 38 degrees, the endless Takaramagan Desert, there is not a single grass, and no creature can be left here. Be sure to bring enough water with you, and drink water constantly to relieve the discomfort of dryness.
In the spring, I also went camping in the Turpan Desert, in the summer I went to Maquanwan in the three eastern provinces, along the mountain road, and camping around Jimsar, and in early summer and autumn, I went to Wusu to see the Gurtu Ganjia Lake Nature Reserve Populus euphratica, Kizigar Lake, mud volcano, and the Pusheng Forest Park, and crossed the niche scenic spot Xiaotianchi.
Three times a year, I went to the Grand Canyon of Andigahai and experienced the journey through the Nurga Gorge, which is the most amazing canyon I have ever seen, and came here to experience the cross-country climb to the highest mountain to see the scenery you can't imagine. There is also the Qigu Grand Canyon, which is as magnificent as Anjihai, and the fiery canyon with a red face.
I also crossed the host Haizi Qiandao Lake and saw the beautiful charm of the desert poplar, which seems desolate here, but is actually a bleak beauty. In the desert, there are countless small seas, and nature is truly magical.
The S101 Provincial Highway has been walked countless times in this year, although it has not been completed every time, basically it is either the first half of the walk, or the second half, and the whole process has been walked at least three times, so I can write all the check-in points and attractions of the S101 Provincial Highway and the best places to camp. I've written about it in my previous travelogues.
It also crossed the salt lake to the Red River Valley of the Kelalkali Strange Stone Mountain, crossed the Daqingshan River Valley, crossed the Yangquan Ditch through the Zhaobi Mountain to the Black Mountain Waterfall, crossed the Nurga to the Baiyang River and walked the most difficult road, and also experienced the baptism of the wind and rain where the tent was blown away.
At the same time, this year, I also went to the three glacial lakes next to Bogda Peak, Ice Tower, Iron Lake and Ice Lake, the most difficult car demolition site Ice Lake, we walked in the mountains for 12 hours, went to Ice Tower Ice Lake camping for one night, here at night when I returned almost lost, went to 4040 Iron Lake to experience the thrill of returning alone, I was scared to the level. Every place has a story to tell, and it has been written in my travelogue, and in these glacial lakes I have seen the most spectacular glaciers, and there are really not many people who have been to these three places at the same time.
Speaking of which, there are a lot of experiences this year, and there are a lot of feelings, and there are so many beautiful scenery that I can't really see and walk. This year, I basically haven't been to regular scenic spots, and most of what I went to was Yejing Yelu.
In addition to the sea, we can see other scenery in Xinjiang, including Tashkurgan County, the highest county seat, one county near the three countries, the most beautiful Sailim Lake, the most atmospheric Kanas I, the most atmospheric Hemu Village, the most spectacular Grand Canyon, the vast Gobi and grassland. When you come to Xinjiang, you have to go through hardships to see the beautiful scenery, no matter how you go to **, you have to go through a long journey, but you will slowly like it here.
In this year, I would like to thank the team leader for his selfless dedication, every time I travel to plan the route, I lead the team for free, let me see so many beautiful scenery, I sincerely thank several team leaders in the group, they are all free to pay, and the captain selflessly worries about ensuring logistics, and there are no worries about every trip. Any camping session was so enjoyable. Let us experience that this is a warm and loving family, thank you for your selfless dedication!
In order for our group to go on, we will start charging a small amount of cost in 2024, so that everyone can see more and more beautiful places with us, if you also like the outdoors, you can join us, we have no discrimination here, there is no noble and low, only a warm and enthusiastic family.
