Traveling, either out of necessity or an adventure, has now become a label and an important part of "social life skills". The most comfortable state for people when traveling is to be casual and at ease, like the wild grass and flowers in the mountains, the crystal clear morning dew, and the moss clinging to the rocks in the valley. The reason why many people cannot find happiness while traveling is that they are too persistent and have too perfect expectations. When they encounter a little dissatisfaction, they are overwhelmed by the negative energy. The negative energy in their eyes is all my positive energy. A source of energy…
On the fifth day, we will start from Daqaidan and rush to Huatugou along National Highway 315. On the way, we will pass by the world’s only geopark with water Yadan landform. It was formed due to the rising lake level of Jinaier Lake and gradually submerged it. The Yadan Group on the northern edge is like a "vast ocean" emerging out of thin air in the endless desert.
There was a traffic jam on the way from Dongtai Jinair Lake to Xitai Jinair Lake due to road construction.
After more than two hours of construction, we drove for about 20 minutes and found that the colors of the lakes on both sides of the road were completely different.
Along the way along National Highway 315, there are deserts and neighboring countries. The starting point of National Highway 315 is Xining, Qinghai, and the end point is Kashgar, Xinjiang, with a total distance of 3,063 kilometers. Known as the loneliest road in China.
In the evening we arrived at Huatugou, which is the junction of Qinghai and Xinjiang. You can already drink the deadly Wusu.
On the sixth day, from Huatugou to Ruoqiang, we continued along National Highway 315. After passing the Mangya checkpoint, we arrived in Xinjiang. Got my first speed limit ticket.
Arriving in Ruoqiang at 4pm, we visited the famous Loulan Museum.
On the seventh day, Ruoqiang passed through Lop Nur to Shanshan and sailed into Lop Nur under the morning glow.
Crossing the Ear of Lop Nur
In the evening, we passed by the edge of the sea channel and saw the vast Gobi and desert Yadan landforms with different shapes. The Great Ocean Road is the only Silk Road whose specific route has not been explored so far...
On the eighth day, we arrived from Shanshan to Kuitun. In the morning we went to the Kumtag Desert to wash sand. The Kumtag Desert is the desert closest to the city in the world.
The next point is near Mirage
Then go west along the Tianshan Mountains
In the evening, through the car window, I saw the crimson sunset on the horizon, like the blushing face of a girl. We arrived at Kuitun in the dusk.
