Just after 8 o'clock, we entered Yining City. It was still very early for Yining. Xiaoxia was going to take us to Hanren Street. He gave a general introduction. The two ladies were not interested, and I was even less interested, so Get ready to head to your accommodation tonight. The car passed the Yilite Hotel twice. A lady suddenly asked Xiaoxia why this hotel was not very big, so why was it still a very big hotel? The people in the car were confused for a while, but everyone in the car realized later. It can be seen that Chinese words are very big. It's easy to misunderstand.
The place to stay at night is in the far west of Yining, at the northwest corner of the Hebei Road-Shenzhen South Road intersection outside the West Ring Road. The hotel is newly opened and in good condition. There is a large park (Hanbin Park) next to it. After settling into my accommodation, I ordered 3 or 4 dishes and 2 beers from the Sichuan restaurant attached to the hotel on the first floor. The food is half cheaper than at noon, and even cheaper than in the mainland. Xiaoxia said that at noon, it was a must-pass road for tourist attractions. There was no place to eat around, so the price would definitely not be cheap.
I was full first, so I walked around alone and wanted to buy some fruits or something. When I came out of the Urumqi market, I had already finished what I bought. After walking around for a while, I didn't find any shops or anything, so I went back to my room to wash up and rest.
On the 25th, our itinerary was Xiata, passing by Tekes and staying in Zhaosu, including a round trip from Zhaosu to Xiata. When she got up in the morning, Xiaoxia was still awake and it was slightly cold outside. The park was still not open. When I approached the gate, I found a notice posted on it. Due to the high school entrance examination, the park was temporarily closed. The end time was 8 o'clock in the morning. Haha, it seemed that I didn't have time to go in and take a walk. 
At 8 o'clock, we embarked on the journey to Xiata via Tekes and Zhaosu, and stayed in Zhaosu at night. The two beauties were more successful than me last night. They actually found a fruit stall, bought a lot, and even washed them in the morning. Two years ago, the highway from Yining to Tekes was under construction. Now the G577 Jingzhao (Jinghe-Zhaosu) highway has been repaired and the road condition is very good. After leaving Yining last time, people in the car were chatting and laughing, then they fell asleep, and then they were bumpy and bumpy. They didn't pay attention to the scenery outside the window. Today, they felt refreshed and the car was stable. It was a good time to enjoy the beautiful scenery.
The land of Ili in front of us is a beautiful sight, with wheat, yellow, corn, and green, as well as occasional large lavender fields, winding green river valleys, and the snow-capped Nantian Mountains in the distance. The scenery is very beautiful. In the car, everyone talked about "Two Nings" - Ningyuan and Ninggu. Yining, formerly known as Ningyuan, and Ninggu were the two most miserable places for prisoners of the Qing Dynasty to be exiled. Lin Zexu was once exiled here. The place of exile is very remote and desolate, sparsely populated, and culturally backward. The customs are far different from those of the capital. The road is very long. The exiled people are already depressed, and they will feel this place even more. Extremely miserable. Exiled people often bring with them a considerable number of family members, servants, books, and tools. At this point, they can also bring a large amount of advanced culture and technology, which is conducive to the development of the place of exile and the unification of the country. Some historians pointed out that the loss of a large amount of land in the north in the late Qing Dynasty was closely related to the sparse inhabitants and lack of basic administrative management on this land. Lin Zexu arrived in Yili in 1842. He assisted in reclamation affairs and visited Kuqa, Aksu, Yarkand and other places in southern Xinjiang. He traveled 30,000 miles, promoting water conservancy and opening up farmland wherever he went. He also drew a map of the border areas and suggested that the army and peasants should be united to be wary of the threat from Tsarist Russia.
Ninggu is far in the northeast. According to legend, six brothers occupied this place. In Manchu, "six" is called "Ninggu" and "one" is called "ta", hence the name "Ninggu Pagoda". Ninggu Pagoda consists of old and new 2 cities, which are 25 kilometers apart. The old city is located on the south bank of Langlang River, a tributary on the left bank of Mudanjiang River. Today it is Jiuguta Village, Changting Town, Hailin, Heilongjiang Province. In the fifth year of Kangxi's reign (1666), a new city was moved to the present city of Ning'an City, Heilongjiang Province . was an important town in the northeastern border areas of the Qing Dynasty and was the seat of General Ningguta in the Qing Dynasty. It was the military, political and economic center of the Qing government located north of Shengjing(Shenyang) and governed the vast areas of Heilongjiang and Jilin.
The impression given by Ninggu is that it is extremely bitter and cold and frozen all year round. Some exiles described it as "Ninggu is so cold and bitter that there is nothing in the world. From the beginning of spring to mid-April, strong winds are like thunder and lightning, and everyone is stunned. It rains continuously from May to July, and it snows heavily in mid-August. In early September, the river freezes, and the snow turns to solid ice. "But "Shengjing Tongzhi" records: Three miles outside the east gate of the old city of Ningguta, there is a forest called Jueluo, which is regarded as the place where Nurha Chi’s ancestor Longxing flourished. From here to the east, north and west of the city, there are plains with roses planted everywhere. It blooms in early May every year and is a sea of flowers, which is extremely beautiful and pleasant. Wu Weichen said, "Ninggu's mountains and rivers are extremely fertile, so the products are beautiful. In addition to fresh food, even though there are mountain vegetables and wild worms, they are all good. They don't belong to anyone, so people can take them for themselves." The local Manchus collected flower petals. , making "rose sugar" and perfume became specialties.
To get to Tekes, you need to cross Wusun Mountain. I was talking to Xiaoxia about finding the place where we stopped to take pictures last time, when I suddenly found that the 2765m long Tekes Tunnel was in front of me. I didn’t need to continue crossing the mountains. In fact, this section of the mountain road is not very steep. The scenery of the grassland on the top of the mountain is very good. big The three words "Bagua City" are no longer visible.
After passing the tunnel, the scenery was still good. We had been driving for more than 2 hours, so Xiao Xia stopped the car at an island bay parking lot on the side of the road. One reason was to meet the management department's requirements on driving time (if driving continuously for more than 4 hours, the parking time must not be less than 20 minutes every 2-4 hours, and the engine must be turned off), and the other was that the scenery was good and everyone could take pictures and stretch their muscles.
Since we had to pass through Tekes on the way back, we did not stay in Tekes and went directly to Zhaosu. The history of Zhaosu can be traced back to the Neolithic Age 10,000 years ago. It borders Kazakhstan in the west and Kyrgyzstan in the southwest. It has a national first-class port, Muzart Port. In 1760, the Mongolians were organized into the left wing of the Eleuth Camp to guard Zhaosu, which was divided into six "sums", that is, six captains, so Zhaosu was also called "Six Sumu". In 1889, the Shengyou Temple was built, which is called "Mongol Kure" in Kazakh and "Lama Zhao" in Chinese. It means "Mongolian temple". In 1938, the Republic of China changed the administrative office here and named it "Zhaosu" after the meaning of "awakening and regaining vitality" in "Book of Rites". Another theory is that "Zhaosu" is a combination of "Zhao" from "Lama Zhao" and "Su" from "Liusumu".
Zhaosu is the hometown of Wusun. Xiata in Zhaosu is said to be the capital of Wusun. When Ban Chao recovered the Western Regions, he made an alliance with Wusun. According to historical records, this place produces fine horses. The world-famous Pegasus horse, the Ferghana horse, comes from here. Known as the "Hometown of Pegasus", Zhaosu has planted rapeseed on a large scale in recent years, claiming to have 10,000 mu of rapeseed. In June and July, rapeseed flowers bloom all over the mountains, creating an exceptionally beautiful scene.
In the car, Xiao Xia was telling us how beautiful the rape flowers were. After talking for a long time, she suddenly pointed out the car window and said that last year there were rape flowers everywhere, but they had been planted with spring wheat in recent years. In fact, we didn't have any special expectations of seeing endless rape flowers here, but this aroused our thoughts, especially the two ladies, who had said they wanted to go into the sea of flowers to take pictures, but were put off by this.
After walking for nearly 2 hours, we had already entered the basin and met several cyclists coming from Hanzhong. There was a gravel fork leading to the mountain on the right. The scenery was beautiful, so we stopped again to rest.
There is a two-story wooden viewing platform at the intersection. The first floor is elevated, with wooden planks around the four circles for pedestrians to rest. There is also a red colored board house not far away. The wheat fields on both sides of the road are endless and slightly undulating until the foot of the distant mountain. The distant mountain is also green. On the top of the mountain, white clouds float, which is very beautiful. There are some houses at the foot of the mountain. I don’t know if they belong to local ethnic minorities or the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps. In Xinjiang, you can see the location signs of divisions, regiments, and companies, but I didn’t see the signs of armies, brigades, and battalions. Maybe these organizations are not included in the Corps system.
There is a small piece of rapeseed at the edge of the field at the intersection. It is more like it grew naturally than it was planted intentionally. It is in full bloom now, complementing the wheat and distant mountains. It didn't take long to take pictures of the scenery. I was about to go to the observation deck to avoid the strong sunlight. The ladies began to protest, saying that I was carrying such a camera and didn't take pictures for them. It was a bit mean. I have taken fewer and fewer portraits in recent years. Although I don't know how to direct the poses, I think my portraits are no worse than those who specialize in portraits. I can capture them much faster than them. Since it has been proposed, just take pictures. Anyway, there is time and environment. Why not do something happy? The artistic conception is chosen by the ladies.
After taking a few photos of standing in the wheat field and walking slowly from a distance, the lady in the red sun protection jacket asked to take a photo of standing barefoot on the gravel road. She took off her shoes, and I asked someone to take the shoes away so that there would not be such an awkward pair of shoes in the camera. After the photo was taken, she just said that her feet were pricked. I said no, and she asked you to take off your shoes and try it. I said I would give it a try, and then took off my shoes and socks. Before I was twelve or thirteen years old, I often walked barefoot, and some of the roads were broken stones with many sharp edges and corners, and the road surface was bumpy. Now it is a flat river pebble road the size of soybeans, which is simply too easy. After all, forty years have passed. After taking off my shoes, I still felt a little sore and swollen in the soles of my feet when I took three or five steps, but it was not the kind of prickly pain. I soon got used to it and felt comfortable. I walked forward for a few dozen meters and then turned back to the viewing platform.
Another car stopped at the viewing platform. Xiao Xia said that time had not stopped yet, so she sat on the wooden bench under the viewing platform, put on shoes and chatted, wiped off the fine sand stuck on her feet with her hands, and then kneaded and patted her soles, which was very comfortable. There was a small stall next to the platform, selling some local specialties and bee products. There were many beehives next to the red house, which also integrated production and sales. None of us were people who went out to buy things, so we didn't buy anything. There was a thin old lady who was in good spirits. She was chatting with the lady and two drivers there. She wanted to buy some bee products. During the conversation, I learned that she came from Thailand. She should be an overseas Chinese or something like that. We didn't ask, and none of us went to ask.
Soon we arrived at Zhaosu County. The houses were not high. It was past eleven o'clock, Xiaoxia said, let's eat first, since there is no place to eat after passing the county seat. Having lunch at 11 o'clock is not too early for us mainlanders, but in Xinjiang, it is very early. The car drove directly to a market. The market was built recently and the buildings were very new. There were not many shops open. Xiao Xia said that every store was similar. It just depended on what we wanted to eat. There was a large plate of chicken, Sichuan food and so on. I can’t remember. , there are about seven or eight kinds. Thinking of the big plate of chicken I had in Bozhou, I rejected it unanimously. At the end of the market, there was a store with five or six people eating there, including old people, children, and busy young people. There were a few naan on the table, and There were some simple dishes, and it looked like a family was having breakfast. I said I wouldn’t disturb them and go to another restaurant, but the lady took a fancy to it and said she liked the harmonious atmosphere. The young people put down their dishes and went to work for us, and we sat down at the table next to them. The food was very cheap and served very quickly. While we were eating, the whole family was almost finished. While we were eating, we chatted with a family. They were indeed eating breakfast twice a day. Breakfast was later, dinner was earlier, and lunch was skipped. The lady in red took a fancy to the naan they were eating and asked if she could try it. The old man generously let the child bring a large piece. The lady said it was delicious, so the old man asked him to bring a whole piece over. The naan was freshly baked. , 20 to 30 centimeters in diameter, slightly thick, soft, tastes very fragrant, even though I don’t like dry pasta, I can eat a big one in just a few bites Eaten in pieces. The lady originally wanted to buy some of this naan to take with her. Firstly, I said that I don’t like eating dry naan. Secondly, from the conversation, the owner did not prepare more naan. If we wanted, they would give us the 2 uneaten ones. , it’s free of charge, and we felt a little embarrassed. Thirdly, there was still some naan from the Urumqi market in the bag, so if we added it all up, let’s forget it. It's a pity that I didn't take a photo with the host family.
I feel that Zhaosu City is basically newly built, with new houses and wide and straight roads. The disadvantage is that the buildings are almost the same as those in the mainland and lack national and regional characteristics. There are sculptures of galloping horses and signs of "Pegasus" in many places. I was confused for a while, but I didn't understand until I later learned that this place produces good horses and is the hometown of sweat-blooded horses.
The road from Zhaosu to Xiata is very good. Although it is not very wide, with a shoulder of about ten meters, the traffic flow is very small and the traffic is very smooth. There are green pastures on both sides of the road, and there are white yurts from time to time. Embellished in between. The river bed of the Turks River is very wide, the flow is not large, and the floodplain is covered with grass. After passing a hill, we entered the alluvial plain of the Xiata River, and the grass was still green.
As I sit in the passenger seat, my main task this time is to chat with Xiaoxia and occasionally snap a photo or two, while the two ladies are looking for Duke Zhou in the back seat. He and Xiao Xia chatted endlessly, all about interesting, bad, and clever things about outdoor travel. Xiao Xia also had a lot of outdoor experience, so she heard many stories during the pick-up and drop-off, and the two of them chatted happily. We talked about the sudden changes in the mountains. We went to Midui twice and the weather was fine. However, when we entered the observation deck, the top of the mountain was shrouded in clouds and mist. There were also unintentional prophecies, and we talked casually.
The lady in the back row woke up and said that since what you said is so accurate, then you can predict what we can see during our trip. I said that I want to see rainbows and eagles soar (actually I had seen the eagle spreading its wings before entering Bozhou, but I forgot about it this time ). I said that the rainbow will be more beautiful after a heavy rain, and I also talked about the regret that when I was hiking in Kalajun, I sat in the back row and only took a photo of a rainbow that almost disappeared. The lady said, "It won't rain today. I can't tell."
At about 2:40, the road sign directed us to Xiate Village, and we were immediately at Xiata, which is our main attraction today.
Xiata is a very ancient place name. It was once the summer capital of the Wusun Kingdom. Xiata is called "Shatu Aman" in Mongolian, which means stairs. After the confluence of the Muzat River and the Dongduguoer River, it is called the Xiata River. The ruins of the ancient city of Xiata are on the bank of the Xiata River. The water of the Xiata River mainly comes from melting glacier snow. The water volume does not change much. Under normal circumstances, the river water is clear, but on cloudy and rainy days, the river water becomes a little turbid. The river water has also been developed and utilized. There is an aqueduct on both sides of the river to irrigate farmland.
The Xiata Ancient Road, also called Xiate Canyon, starts from Xiate Ranch in Zhaosu County in the north and ends at Pochengzi in Wensu County in the south. It spans the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains and has a total length of 120 kilometers. It is the most dangerous and famous ancient pass on the ancient Silk Road. , also known as "Tang Monk Ancient Road". Climb up the Muzat River and Shuo River and cross the 3,600-meter-high Muzat Dashan (ancient Turkic word meaning Bingda Ban) on the main ridge of the Tianshan Mountains, and then you will arrive at Baicheng County in southern Xinjiang. In the past, it was an important transportation route from Yili to southern Xinjiang. It was also the most dangerous and famous ancient pass on the Silk Road. Legend has it that Tang Monk went to India from here to learn Buddhist scriptures. After Qianlong pacified Zhungar, the Uighurs from southern Xinjiang to Ili mainly came through this road, which could only be done on horseback or on foot. It has been abandoned and has now become one of the most popular hiking adventure routes in the country.
The 4A-level Xiata Canyon Scenic Area is a beautiful natural canyon park. The canyon is about 50 kilometers long. The Xiatta River between the canyons extends to the foot of the Muzart Iceberg. What is very strange is that the Shatta Canyon is shaped like a tunnel with very few turns. Because it is located in a remote area, it still maintains a very primitive state. It is close to the main mountain range of the Tianshan Mountains with numerous peaks. The Xiata River gushing out of the canyon is so fast that it rolls with milky white waves all year round. Chateau Gorge is shaped like a corridor, with walls on both sides forming a barrier. As you walk along this natural corridor, which is about 50 kilometers long, you will see bees flying, butterflies dancing, deer running and eagles soaring. The snow-capped mountains and canyons have blue skies and white clouds. The scenery is so beautiful that it is dizzying. Give.
Take the scenic bus from the gate of the scenic area to the hot spring sanatorium, which is about 20 kilometers away. The scenic bus stops at the "Shen Turtle" and "Liusha Waterfall" for tourists to visit. The Holy Turtle is a four- to five-meter-wide black stone inserted diagonally in the Muzat River. The stone is thick all over, but suddenly shrinks at the top, like a head. It’s not a bad idea to take a look at it as a curiosity. It is a good attraction. That's a bit far-fetched. The quicksand waterfall is formed from the steep cliff on the other side of the river. After the rocks have been weathered, the sand flows down the valley. The viewing platform of Liusha Waterfall is on a small highland on this bank of the river. The slow river flows on the grassland in the valley, and you can see the snow-capped mountains at the end of the valley. The scenery is very exquisite. The car continued to move forward, and the driver suddenly stopped and shouted, "Otter, there is a big prairie dog on the other side of the car, under the tree in the pasture."
The hot spring sanatorium is located on the open valley floor, surrounded by many spruce trees. The tourists in the same car quickly dispersed, and it was very quiet.
From here to the viewing point, also known as Frog Spring, it is about 5-6 kilometers. There are several ways to go by electric car, horseback riding, and walking along the river valley plank road. We chose to walk.
There are many trees in the river valley. Walking among them, I only feel quiet, but I can't see more scenery. We stopped and took pictures. Anyway, we didn’t have any special goal and we had plenty of time. The river was on our right side, so we walked out of the woods and came to the river beach. The river beach was a bit messy by the flood. The river was still far away, and the spruce trees on the opposite bank covered the entire hillside.
There are several pieces of grass in the forest. They are not big and have not many flowers. This is enough to attract ladies to take pictures. I sit idle on the grass and enjoy the sunshine filtering through the clouds. I don’t know when the clouds suddenly appear. It's becoming more frequent, but it doesn't look like there's any sign of rain. After turning a corner, the snowy peaks appeared in front of us with silvery light. There were many fewer trees, the grass became very open, and the ground was covered with flowers. Naturally, more photos were taken.
After walking out of the woods, there was flat grassland in the valley ahead, with some shrubs here and there, but the quality of the grass seemed to have declined a bit, and we just kept walking and walking. I met a returning tourist and asked, "We have already walked more than half of the journey, so we might as well walk to the end."
When we arrived at the viewing point, there were already clouds above our heads, and there were thick clouds on Muzart Peak in the distance, but the sunlight could still shine and the scenery was very charming, especially Under telephoto lens. The river is not wide here. There is a suspension bridge across the river. On the grassland on the other side, there are two workers driving piles into the ground. The grassland is semi-swamp. It will be very inconvenient to walk directly on the ground. The piles are being driven to prepare for the construction of the plank road. When asked, there are still about 20 kilometers to the foot of the mountain, and it takes at least 2 hours to ride a horse one way. Naturally, time does not allow us to go there. The altitude is high there, and our clothes are not enough. There is also a person If a lady is afraid of riding a horse, then there is no need to think about it.
I bought a ticket for the battery car back to the hot spring sanatorium. It only accepts cash. Fortunately, I have the habit of bringing some cash, otherwise it would be really inconvenient. The mobile phone signal is very poor, and it is estimated that online payment will be difficult to achieve. By the time the lady who loved taking pictures of the scenery came back from taking photos, three or four battery cars had already left, but more were coming. There were a lot of tourists here, so you wouldn’t want to miss this kind of business.
Arriving at the sanatorium, in the direction of Mizoguchi, black clouds destroyed the city, and there was lightning. I said it must be raining heavily there, and the first prophecy of the day was about to come true, and I hoped to see a rainbow. As we got closer and closer to the gate, the sky became darker and darker, and finally it was like dusk. When we were still 2-3 kilometers away from the gate of the scenic spot, a heavy rain hit us! The rain was so heavy that the umbrella was useless. I comforted myself by saying to my companion that the rain would stop when we got to the parking lot. In fact, there is still half a sentence left unsaid. If I don't stop, I will only become a drowned rat.
The road turned back and forth several times before reaching the parking lot, and passed 2-3 bridges. The gate of the scenic spot was now visible. It was still raining heavily, but luckily it was only the last 100 or 200 meters. The rain stopped and I got out of the car. I was afraid of getting caught in the rain and walked a few steps quickly to get into the house. I simply walked out slowly and enjoyed the feeling of the rain. When I got to the door, there was almost no Raindrops fell.
Xiaoxia was very surprised when he saw us, and asked us if we had been wet in the rain. He was very worried about us during the heavy rain just now. We said that we met him in the car, but when we got off the car, the rain had passed.
Not far from Mizoguchi, there are ruins of Xiata Ancient City, Tomb of Princess Xijun, Stone Man, Wusun Cemetery and other ruins. Naturally, we don’t have time to go there. Everyone in the car was talking excitedly, and the topic turned around and returned to rainbows. They asked me if there would be a rainbow. I blurted out without even thinking about it, there must be a rainbow. So the topic revolved around the rainbow. I asked Xiaoxia where the rainbow would be. Xiaoxia said east, on the right side of the car. Haha, that’s exactly where I was sitting.
The sky was very gloomy, and it started to rain again. When we passed Xiata Village, a faint rainbow appeared behind the village. The lady sitting on the right and I shouted about the rainbow at the same time. Xiaoxia and another lady still didn’t believe it. Because the rainbow has been blocked by houses and trees. I had my camera ready and the car window open, ready to take pictures at any time, but I never got the chance. As the car drove forward, the rainbow became more and more visible. Finally, after walking along the road to the village, a rainbow hung clearly between the sky and the earth. The drawback was that the sun was a little high and the rainbow's dome was not very high.
There is a row of telephone poles in the grass, which is very difficult for us to take pictures. Although I often say that we should take pictures of electric wires and telephone poles as scenery, but at this time, it is really an eyesore. The pasture is separated from the road by a barbed wire fence to prevent cattle and sheep from running around. In order to reduce the obstruction of the telephone poles, I got off the road and walked to the barbed wire fence. I saw that the barbed wire fence only stretched a few lines horizontally and there were no connections in the middle. So, I The two barbed wires were separated and drilled directly through.
From a distance, the grass was not deep, but when I got in, I realized that the grass was higher than my knees, and the grass was covered with water. I didn’t care, and stumbled quickly through the high and low grass - I could finally enjoy it. I took a photo, and the gorgeous rainbow appeared completely in my lens. The colors inside the rainbow were brighter, and the colors outside the rainbow were darker. It was perfect. I took several pictures in a row, and then came back satisfied. When I drilled the barbed wire fence again, I had a small accident. The grass inside the barbed wire fence was a little higher than the outside of the barbed wire fence. As soon as the foot that stepped out fell to the ground, when I raised the back foot, my body dropped a little, and the iron thorn caught on the thigh. As for the trousers, the center of gravity has moved forward, and it is impossible to move them back. I can only support the ground with one hand and raise my legs. Fortunately, the iron thorn actually loosens the trouser legs, and I come out safely without any danger. Later, they asked me what happened and whether I had fallen. When I told them, everyone said I was lucky.
When I got to the car, I saw it was a double rainbow. The outer one was darker and I didn’t see it when I took the photo. I asked if I should change to a wider angle and take another photo. They said it was good enough and I didn’t need to take another photo. Today’s second prophecy has come true.
The rainbow didn’t follow us very far before disappearing. The dark clouds were getting farther and farther away from us and drifting eastward. The sky in the west was already blue and white clouds, so it was impossible to take a picture of the rainbow. An eagle was soaring on the other side of the car, far away from us and out of the range of my lens. Even though I had already replaced it with a telephoto lens, I still couldn't do anything about it.
Go north to the Turks River. The road turns east. There is a low mountain on the right. There are some horses scattered on the gentle hillside pasture. On the top of the mountain, several beautiful figures in red and white are admiring the horses. , this is the advantage of telephoto. Although the car did not slow down, I still caught this shot.
As we walked along the Tekes River, Xiaoxia looked at the river from time to time. Finally, she said with regret that there were no horses by the river today. At this time, horses often galloped across the river. The scene was very spectacular. Today we can only missed. The road was about to cross the river. Xiaoxia parked the car in the parking lot. There was an Aobao on the top of the mountain. He said the scenery was good and asked him to go up and have a look.
I looked at it and thought that was all. Since we parked the car, let’s go up and have a look. I picked up my camera and walked quickly up the mountain along the plank road. There is really nothing special about the north side of the mountain. When we reach the top of the mountain and look towards the south side of the mountain, the scene is very spectacular: the comb-shaped hillside spreads out one after another from east to west. The grass is tender and tender, and under the sunset, the scenery is very spectacular. The different slopes show light green and goose yellow. In the distance there is a group of modern-style houses with white walls and gray roofs. Under the blue sky and white clouds, there are also snow-capped mountains in the distance. Standing here you can climb Looking into the distance, overlooking the north and south of Zhaosu, you can have a panoramic view of the Wusun Mountains and Tianshan Mountains, with the Tekes River meandering at your feet. Its beauty cannot be expressed in words.
As soon as I reached the top of the mountain, a lady had already stepped onto the plank road up the mountain. When I finished taking pictures and walked towards Aobao, she had already reached the top and was saying, "If you don't come up, you will really lose money." Looking back , another lady also came up slowly. We lingered on the top of the mountain for a long time until Xiaoxia, who never rushed us, called and asked us to come down. I rarely take photos, so I asked my companions to take several photos of me. Later, I checked on the satellite map and found that the mountains in this area are different from those in the surrounding areas, forming a unique beauty. 
In the evening, we stayed at Yi Zhaojun Hot Spring Hotel, which is located southwest of the intersection of Gongkang Street and Laojie Street in Zhaosu County. The hotel is very large and it is estimated that it will not be able to accommodate so many guests for a long time.
A beautiful woman said that she doesn’t like to eat barbecue, but likes to eat stewed mutton. She checked in early today and hopes to eat stewed mutton in the evening. Xiaoxia said two days ago that she must ask for barbecue when she arrives in Zhaosu. It tastes so delicious. The old-fashioned charcoal barbecue is very cheap. A big skewer of meat only costs 2 yuan. Every time they come, they have to eat it, and the drivers will all go to that restaurant. Xiaoxia was already going to eat stewed mutton with us, but she still wanted to eat barbecue. I also wanted to eat barbecue. I heard Xiaoxia softly say that stewed meat is expensive and slow.
We finally chose to eat barbecue. The store is small and somewhat dark. It is located at the end of the old street east of the square. Two Uighur men were busy there. Xiaoxia was obviously familiar with them and said hello. Went in to find a seat. There were 2-3 locals eating barbecue nearby. Xiaoxia asked us what we wanted to eat. We said, you are familiar with it, just order it. So, Xiaoxia walked to the door and told the man who was grilling something. We don’t have to rush anymore today, so we said, let’s drink some beer. Xiaoxia went to buy beer again, but the store was sold out and she needed to go to the supermarket opposite to get it. Xiaoxia went to the supermarket opposite and ordered a few boxes for the store.
The barbecue next to me was served, and a piece of naan was placed on top of the barbecue. The men were very burly, and the beauties who were traveling with them said they were a little scared. They tore the naan into pieces, wrapped the meat in it and rolled it up, then ate and drank beer without any courtesy. After a while, our barbecue also came up, and there was also a large amount of barbecue covered with a naan. We also tore the naan apart, each of us had one portion, and rolled some meat - it was so fragrant, the meat was so tender, and it was very enjoyable to eat. , the lady who was going to eat the stew also praised loudly. The pieces of meat are huge, with 4-5 pieces on the long skewer. Each skewer probably has one or two pieces of raw meat, and it only costs 2 yuan. Other grilled items are only 1 yuan.
4 people ordered 4 bottles of red Wusu. Everyone drank some, Xiaoxia and I drank more. It was very enjoyable to eat meat and drink beer. Later we ordered some other things, and finally ordered a naan and barbecue, which was very satisfying. When Xiaoxia went to get beer, she had already paid for the beer, which was 20 yuan, the supermarket price. A meal, including meat and naan, cost exactly one hundred yuan, which was unimaginably economical.
When I came out of the hotel to have barbecue, Xiaoxia asked me if I wanted to bring my camera. I said it must be safe here, so I shouldn’t bring it with me, it’s too heavy. While we were waiting for the barbecue, the sun was setting in the west, and the colorful clouds after the rain were so gorgeous. I ran to the square and took two pictures with my mobile phone. I regretted not bringing a camera. 
In Zhaosu, Xiaoxia did not wait for the driver and colleague to come. There was no one else traveling with us. The news on the phone was still the same as the scenic spot the day before and the day after. They are all full of people, but we have few tourists. Later, Xiaoxia no longer asked her colleagues whether there were many people there, but the good luck that there were not many tourists in the scenic spot always accompanied us.
