Just hearing the word ‘Xinjiang’ makes my heart race with excitement.
A land of dreams
’This is the first time I’ve seen such magnificent scenery in Xinjiang, with eyes full of green and misty fog. I guess this is the fairyland described in books.’ Said the influencer ‘Guiye Buddy’ when arriving in Bayinbuluke.
From the Taklamakan Desert to Altun Mountain, from Lop Nur to Bayinbuluke, the influencers have experienced the diverse charms of Xinjiang throughout their journey. ‘The journey through Bazhou is a journey through deserts, snow-capped mountains, grasslands, and lakes, a journey through the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter, ultimately leading us to the depths of our own hearts. This journey has enlightened our wisdom and cleansed our souls.’
The diverse primitive poplar forest, the Tarim River, and the Weigan River intersect here, and the Taklamakan Desert stretches endlessly… The罗布人村寨 seems like a dazzling pearl located by the Tarim River. The influencers listened to罗布folk songs, enjoyed罗布dances, and relished the joy of returning to nature.
In the罗布人村寨, a centenarian is constantly polishing poplar wood to make traditional handicrafts. The influencer ‘Southern Cross Star Yaya’ observed the old man’s movements throughout the process, engrossed in it.
Altun Mountain is a pristine world of ice and snow, a sacred paradise for animals, rarely visited by humans. The influencers marveled at the magnificent scenery of this ‘forbidden zone for life’ and sighed that only after staying away from the hustle and bustle can one see the true face of nature.
The sky is as clear and blue as a gem, unadorned yet dazzling. Mongolian men ride their steeds and gallop across the endless grasslands. Frame after frame of stunning scenery makes all the fatigue of the journey disappear instantly for the influencers. ‘This is an excellent destination for vacation and summer escape. When you wake up in the morning, the misty fog makes it feel like you’re in a fairyland.’
Galloping across the endless Taklamakan Desert and wandering through the lush green grasslands of Bayinbuluke, listening to the moving history of the Eastward Return of the Mongolians, the breathtaking scenery, the honest folk customs, and the magnificent national epic of Xinjiang have opened the hearts of the influencers and cleansed their souls.
’Bayinbuluke, Kongnais, Altun, Lop Nur… Just hearing the names is enough to captivate one’s imagination, and after visiting, it’s even more enchanting, making people reluctant to leave. We encountered Xinjiang and also encountered a truer version of ourselves.’ The influencers’ longing for Xinjiang has become even stronger, and they have all expressed their desire to come again in the future.
