A Different Travel in Xinjiang | Jingjue Ancient City, Desert, and Starry Sky

The wild games I found in southern Xinjiang were so exciting! An old man playing Rewap in the desert at 3 a.m., a glowing poplar forest, and making his first pottery jar with Kunlun Mountain mud... Here are some real experiences from the whole network: 👉Don’t just rush through Yingjisha Earthenware Village! I stayed in the Uighur grandfather's workshop for three hours, learning how to carve patterns on clay with a wooden knife. The clay was really mixed with broken jade from the Kunlun Mountains! The Yingjisha knife sharpened on site in the knife village next door can cut paper like cutting butter (can be mailed home) 🌌Dari Yabui is more shocking than you can imagine! At nine o'clock in the evening, the desert sunset burned the poplar forest into golden red. The villagers brought out Kumaiqi meat pie (desert version of roujiamo) with brick tea, and suddenly someone played dutar in the bonfire. The key point! ! You can see the Milky Way Arch Bridge here! Lying on the top of the sand dune in my sleeping bag in the early morning, there were so many shooting stars that I couldn't make enough wishes... 🚐The driver on the day we entered Taklimakan was Juye! I was drifting in the sand waves in an off-road vehicle, and suddenly the car stopped and let me touch the shady side of the sand dune - it was cold! Deep in the desert, there is a "singing" quicksand area. Stepping on it feels like stepping on an electronic synthesizer. 🏯The Ancient City of Jingjue gave me goosebumps! The 1,600-year-old glutinous rice dumpling in the Minfeng Museum still has teeth marks on it...The broken wooden door bolt still has woolen threads from the Western Han Dynasty stuck on it. The guide suddenly said, "You may be stepping on the back garden of the King of Jingjue." ⛰️The Kunlun Mountains are so beautiful that I am speechless! The water in the Grand Canyon is Tiffany blue! I was screaming in pain from the cold while wading in the water, and when I looked up I saw snow leopard footprints (the guide said they were fresh traces from three days ago). There is a herdsman's yogurt shop hidden at the bend of Tianlu. You can drink freshly squeezed camel milk by sprinkling some salt on it. 🍢Hotan Night Market! The 5-yuan yogurt rice dumpling is drizzled with honey, and the baked egg should be goose egg (with saffron + honey). The most amazing thing is that the uncle at the steamed bun stall saw me taking pictures, and suddenly broke open the bun and stuffed a piece of lamb tail fat inside - "It will look better if the pictures are juicy." 📸Photography locations: 1. Sand dunes on the east side of Dariyabuyi Ancient Village (the silhouette of poplar trees is beautiful at sunrise) 2. Red willow bushes outside the Niya Ruins (light penetrates the ruins at 4 pm) 3. Boundary marker No. 23 of Kunlun Sky Road (you can take photos of snow-capped mountains + canyons + winding mountain roads at the same time) ‼ ️Real complaints: ▫️The temperature in the desert will drop to 5℃ in the middle of the night, so bring a down liner ▫️The grandfather in the old teahouse in Shache will pull you to dance the Maixilaifu, so it is recommended to wear loose pants #
