The Youth That Cannot Be Disappointed—Travel Notes to Xinzang (3)

The beautiful things I encounter during my travels often make me feel like I could end up anywhere. There are so many places we want to go in the world, and we have already set off before we have time to accept our prejudices. Life cannot be a journey that we can just leave at once, but those who have a distant heart must always be prepared to leave at any time. We always set out. It's wonderful, especially on a sunny morning...

On the ninth day, we went from Kuitun to Zhaosu. The Anjihai Grand Canyon is only more than 50 kilometers away from Kuitun, so we had to take a detour here to find out.

Passed by Sailimu Lake and Guozigou Bridge at around 3pm

Then cross Wusun Mountain

Arrive at Zhaosu, the hometown of Wusun and Tianma at 8pm.

On the tenth day, we visited the Xiata Ancient Trail, which is located in the southwest of Su County, more than 70 kilometers away from Zhaosu County. It is the most dangerous and famous ancient pass on the ancient Silk Road, also known as Tang Monk Ancient Road.

This is the border between China and Kazakhstan. We drove into the border management area and received a warm reminder from China Mobile.

Arrive at Turks in the afternoon and get a bird’s eye view of Bagua City from a height of 500 meters

Day 11: From Tekes to Kuqa, passing through Duku Highway today. Duku Highway is known as the most beautiful highway in China. It is the highway from Dushanzi to Kuqa. A highway with a total length of 561 kilometers connecting northern and southern Xinjiang. It stretches across high mountains and deep valleys, connecting many ethnic minority areas. Its completion has shortened the distance between northern and southern Xinjiang by nearly half from the original more than 1,000 kilometers, which can be called a monument in the history of China's highway construction.
