For most people, the natural scenery of northern Xinjiang is deeply impressed. But perhaps you don’t know that southern Xinjiang, this beautiful and magical place, has a dreamlike charm and fairy tale-like colors.
Patches of vast deserts, towering and majestic snow-capped mountains, mysterious and desolate canyons, resilient and unyielding poplar trees… Its mystery and excitement, vastness and warmth, need to be experienced slowly…
Bohu County
This is a small county in southern Xinjiang. Every autumn, villagers will ‘dry the autumn harvests’, forming a unique scenery.
Unlike the drying of autumn harvests on window sills in Huangling, the drying of autumn harvests in southern Xinjiang showcases a magnificent beauty!
Bosten Lake
Some say that because of Bosten Lake, you can experience the feeling of being by the sea without leaving Xinjiang.
Here there are vast, boundless lakes, and reeds that are deep and rustle with the wind. It is a habitat for natural creatures such as wild ducks and egrets.
In autumn, it takes on another appearance like the ‘sea’. The large lake has a vast water area, with misty waves stretching far and wide, and the sky and water merge into one color. It is known as a pearl in the desert.
Luntai Poplar Forest
If you haven’t been to Luntai, you won’t know the magnificence of the poplar forests; if you haven’t seen the poplar forests, you won’t know the brilliance of life. There are many fewer tourists here than in Ejina, but the dazzling scenery is not inferior in the slightest!
Deserts, gobies, wastelands, and lakes, adorned with poplar forests, become a painting that is difficult to describe in words. It is beautifully grand and peaceful, enchanting and mesmerizing.
If you come, you must take the retro blue-and-yellow train once and travel through the secluded and beautiful fairyland.
Kuqa Mysterious Tianshan Grand Canyon
Kuqa Grand Canyon is known as one of the ‘Top Ten Canyons in China’. Its steep cliffs give it a mysterious face, and its red color adds even more mystery to it.
Entering the valley, the dangerous peaks on both banks are stacked and steep. Here, your head and neck must be at a 90° angle to see the sky.
And standing at the bottom of the valley looking up at the mountains, you will only feel that the steep peaks seem to be pressing down at any moment. This feeling of oppression is dizzying.
Karakuli Lake
Karakuli Lake is located at the foot of Mushtagh Peak, the father of ice mountains, and is a high-mountain glacial erosion and moraine lake.
Surrounded by the ice peaks of the ‘Three Heroes of Kunlun’, it adds more magical and beautiful colors to it.
The waterside is fertile with grass, and there are often Kyrgyz herdsmen grazing here. On sunny days, the clear water reflects the silver peaks, and the lake scenery and mountains merge into one, making people even more fascinated.
Pamir Plateau
Pamir means ‘the roof of the world’ in Tajik. In the distance are snow-capped mountains, and nearby are strange mountains and rocks. The primitive and rustic feeling is even a little desolate, filled with the vicissitudes of history and has a very imposing presence.
Walking on the Pamir Plateau, you will encounter many stories and also gain many scenic views. There will be difficulties along the way, but there will definitely be happiness.
Kashgar Old Town
People often say, ‘If you haven’t been to Kashgar, you haven’t really been to Xinjiang.’ But if you really go to Kashgar, you will find that going to Kashgar is like traveling through several exotic countries.
You can also stroll through the old town and look through the colorful doors and windows, as if you have stepped into the exotic land of Central Asia, feeling very magical.
Countless delicacies
Besides beautiful scenery, there are more delicious foods here. The melons and fruits here are famous for their sweetness, and the mutton here is renowned for its freshness.
September and October are the seasons when watermelons, cantaloupes, figs, and grapes are concentratedly on the market. It is also the time when mutton is plump. If you come to Xinjiang at this time, you must not miss the night market here.
Xinjiang, a place full of mystery,
If you haven’t been to Xinjiang, you won’t know how vast China is.
If you haven’t been to Southern Xinjiang, you won’t know how beautiful Xinjiang’s scenery is!
In a lifetime, you must visit Xinjiang once to feel perfect!
