I found Taxian, a tourist resort hidden in the border in Kashgar, Xinjiang.
Ta county is close to Pakistan, and many Pakistanis are active in the county. They open restaurants and jade shops here. They like China and Xinjiang very much, but they can hardly speak Chinese, so they have a full conversation in English. This is a shop run by Pakistani brothers, and the national flags of the two countries will be hung in the shop.
The clothing and national habits of Tajiks are different from those of other nationalities. Women's clothes are bright, mainly in red, pink and peach. Adult women of this ethnic group never show their legs, and they wrap their legs tightly with stockings when wearing skirts. The little girl is lively, playful and lovely.
The central area of Ta County is relatively small, and roads are being built everywhere. Most mainlanders here come from Henan, Sichuan and Chongqing, where they set up shops, build roads and do odd jobs. The uncle who built the road said that he was from Ya 'an, and the maintenance of the house cost 300,000 yuan, so in order to make more money, he came to Ta County to build the road. The wages paid to mainlanders here are higher, coolies can get 300-500 yuan a day, and senior technicians can get 800 yuan a day.
The mainlanders who came here in the early days developed well, made money and didn't want to go back, so the family moved to Ta County. Now the skilled workers are a little saturated, and the money is not so good (the picture shows the mainland odd jobs such as roadside in Ta County). The salary in Ta County is high, but the transportation here is not very convenient, and the materials are all shipped from outside, so the price is not low. Ta county covers an area of more than 24,000 square kilometers, but only has a population of 30,000, and the per capita land area is "huge".
From Kashi to Taxian, all the way is National Highway 3 14, and there is a shuttle bus (CMB) that goes directly. But personally, I suggest you find someone to fight with an off-road vehicle (master). There are two important reasons: there are many detours along the way, the bus is closed, and it is easy to get carsick; The scenery is beautiful all the way. Camels in the snow-capped mountains often flash by, and no scenery can be photographed by bus. The owner of off-road vehicles can stop at any time.
The beauty here is that many people are unknown, and there is not even much information on the Internet. Many places have not been destroyed by development, and they are still very primitive. Let me briefly list the beautiful scenery and scenic spots in Ta County that I have been to. A lot of detailed landscape pictures and beautiful scenery information, I will do more introduction in later articles, so please pay attention.
Camel milk, with a history of 10,000 years ago, is a house made of mud. Tang Xuanzang stayed here for one night on the way to learn from the scriptures. There is nothing to see in the house itself, but the surrounding scenery is a paradise on earth.
As can be seen from the stone tablet, this house is now an extremely important cultural relic.
Stone city. During the Han Dynasty, it was the imperial city of Puli, one of the 36 countries in the Western Regions. The ruins are dilapidated, but the location is excellent. The grassland is covered with blue sky and surrounded by mountains. Snow-capped mountains are more within reach. The ruins are a mess, but some of the city walls are well preserved and have high archaeological value.
Jincaotan In arid Xinjiang, this rare wetland is located at the foot of Shitou Town. It is said that the whole grassland will turn golden in autumn, and the scenery is extremely beautiful.
Seeing Jincaotan from Stone Town is like this.
Hongshan. This mountain is beside the 3 14 national highway. The road ahead is flat and gray, and a large red mountain suddenly appears, which is a very strange scenery.
Gong Geer's famous pyramid-shaped snow-capped mountain is said to be as difficult to conquer Gong Geer as Mount Everest. So far, no one has reached the top from the north slope.
Baisha Lake. The water here is like a precious mirror, with a wonderful blue color formed naturally.
Congling holy lake. Also known as Lake Karakuri, the lake will change color with the change of sunlight, and it is called the holy lake by the locals. The real thing is a bit like Ranwu Lake in Tibet.
Mustag Glacier Park (about 4 100 above sea level, people who have never been to the plateau usually start from here). This is a glacier that local people respect very much.
Tahman Wetland Park. The magic of this beautiful scenery is that when you look down, the effect is completely different, so if you have time, you can climb to the nearby mountain to have a bird's eye view.
Hongqila is at the entrance of the country, about 5000 meters above sea level. On the opposite side of this door, stand the Pakistani people, who, like us, are visiting the gate of their own country. This is an extremely solemn landmark, and now I can't visit it at will. I am honored to be here as a reporter. Standing on this line, I feel a completely different mood. Pakistanis say they envy the people of China and can live a peaceful and prosperous life.
From the map, it is located at the westernmost end of our country. The sentry here is very bitter. The altitude here is so high that even the water can't be boiled, and the environment can be said to be very bad. They wear winter clothes all year round, and their greatest wish is to eat a bowl of hot pot that they can't usually eat, as well as hot meals cooked by relatives at home. When we went that day, the weather was excellent, not too cold, but we still had to wear coats and down jackets. Thank them for their hard work and border defense. May they be well, and may the country and people be safe.
I travel everywhere just to experience different civilian lives and make different travel notes and strategies. Welcome to pay attention and follow me to see a more interesting world.
Today is my fourth day in Kashgar, and my trip for the next three weeks is still in progress. Please pay attention to the following travel records. Next notice: People here have no bad intentions-Travel Notes of Taxian County.
