Author: He Junde (Karamay, Xinjiang).
In the north of Xinjiang in February, the spring is cold and precipitous, and a strong cold weather that lasts for a long time is powerful, with strong cooling and heavy snowfall, all that comes into view is snow-capped, holy and boundless, and the wilderness after the beginning of spring is covered in silver, which is extraordinarily enchanting.
After many days of severe cold, the bright sunshine comes out, the cold gradually recedes, the temperature rises, the spring breeze is warm, the ice and snow on the ground melt, and the humid outdoor air is breathing, which makes people feel comfortable. At this time, one of my plans for a long trip also came unexpectedly. Before leaving, I still made simple preparations, a few changes of clothes and my daily necessities were packed in the bag early, within the weight of the luggage allowed on the plane, and I also went to the street to buy the fragrant baked buns, sesame naan and leather tooth naan that had just come out of the naan pit, which is the favorite food of Xinjiang's living habits.
I haven't traveled far in years, and I haven't taken a train in all the years since I went from a private car to a means of transportation. The development of railways is changing with each passing day, and the traditional situation of braving the scorching sun and freezing cold, and waiting in long lines to buy train tickets in the wind and rain is gone. Mobile phones have become an indispensable helper in people's daily life, and they can be operated simply through their mobile phones without cash, and they can log in to the relevant apps according to different needs to quickly complete various things to do, bringing unprecedented convenience to people's lives.
12306 is a good helper for daily travel, when I plan to travel, the first thing I worry about is how to buy train tickets, after all, I have not been on the train for many years, the process of buying train tickets is very unfamiliar, ** After installing the app, I know that now I don't need to go to the ticket window of the train station to buy train tickets, but can easily get it through my mobile phone, saving time and effort, convenient and fast, for me like a new thing, I am happy.
The destination is Beijing. I grew up in a remote mountain village in Longdong, living at the foot of the majestic Tianshan Mountains in northern Xinjiang, I have traveled all over the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, and have also been to Qinghai, Henan and Suzhou, but I have never been to the capital Beijing, and I have been able to witness Beijing's dignity for a long time. This time I went to Beijing to live for a while, and this is my wish.
Beijing is a big city that I am unfamiliar with, and it is necessary to do some homework in advance. The mobile phone is installed with AutoNavi map, Beijing bus, associated with the bus and subway, and repeatedly consult the map, familiar with the geographical environment, so as not to encounter embarrassment in shopping in Beijing.
My original intention was to take the train, because I could enjoy the scenery and scenery along the way, cultivate my sentiments, and harvest pleasing to the eye. The facilities on the train are not what they used to be, with humanized facilities and convenient charging sockets, you don't have to worry about running out of power on your mobile phone; The carriage space is comfortable, and the 30-hour ride on the tracks is hard but enjoyable. The four-hour flight of the plane is to avoid the pain of long-distance fatigue, but the plane is released above the clouds and mist, and it is difficult to enjoy the graceful beauty of the motherland.
Today is the time when I take advantage of my vacation to travel far away, so I packed my bags and started my busy journey to catch a flight by train. The vast white Gobi Desert and the bustling frontier cities are gradually moving away behind me, and when I return, the land of northern Xinjiang must be covered with snow melting, and the grass breaks through the soil to reveal new shoots, and there is a beautiful scene full of spring everywhere.
