The day before the departure, full of expectations flying
11:00 a.m. is still at work, 1:00 p.m. has taken the little girl sat on the high-speed railroad to Lanzhou, all the way to the children chattering games and chatting, the three of us are full of anticipation, looking at the high-speed railroad window clouds a little bit of a little bit closer, and then close to a little bit more, and slowly turned into a large group of a large group of cotton candy, as if the air began to have the free flow of the air. The air began to have the flavor of freedom. Six or seven o'clock in the appearance of Lanzhou, found our pre-booked bed and breakfast, here to focus on the praise of the current bed and breakfast, really very convenient, the combination lock directly into the house, two-room house decorated with extra warm, one of the rooms is a high and low beds, the children are very happy, a room into the room and refused to come out. A little repair, to the neighborhood outside to eat Lanzhou ramen, delicious, three children divided into a big bowl are still pouting that their share of less, and later realized that this meal is our entire journey in the most delicious meal.
The first day, the Northwest Tour officially set sail
(Xining - Tal Temple - Laji Mountain - Riyue Mountain - the flowing river - Qinghai Lake - the Black Horse River - Bird Island)
More than seven in the morning on the train from Lanzhou to Xining, more than eight chartered master Ma master at the station to receive us, the three big and three small plus a driver's tour of the circuit officially opened. The first station Tal Temple, Tal Temple is located more than 20 kilometers southwest of Xining, is one of the six major monasteries of Tibetan Buddhism Gelukpa in China. Set of Chinese and Tibetan technology in one of the monastery buildings are distributed in the Lotus Mountain, a ditch on both sides of the slope, high and low staggered, interplay, spectacular. Here the ghee flower sculpture, colorful murals and embroidery is known as the "Tal Temple art three". May be the reason for the peak season, the tourists weaving, the commercialization of the breath came, the feeling of the Tal Temple scenic area to the whole town are included in it, first of all, outside the commercial street need to walk for one or two minutes, and then the electric car needs to sit for ten minutes, and then need to walk a few minutes to arrive at the door of the official scenic spot. Poor us inexperienced ah, with children in the commercial street stroll leisurely to waste time, walked to the door of the real scenic spot children have been exhausted, plus the shoulder to shoulder pedestrians and rows of more than ten meters long long lengthy queue, we were like a deflated ball, no strength and no courage to go in, just look at the outside, the real trip from the first attractions on the beginning of the tour, before reaching the Before arriving at the Ta'er Monastery before the poem in his head: "that life, at that moment I rose up the wind horse not to beg for blessings only to wait for your arrival; that day, closed his eyes in the temple incense and fog suddenly heard you chanting the true words of the scriptures" There has been a kind of nowhere to put a feeling, which is the ideals and the reality of it. From the Tal Temple out, the horse master said you have a place to go for four hours, so that we will not be able to live in the evening, we are fearless and ignorant of not think so.
The car began to climb La Ridge Mountain, the temperature plummeted, this is the first mountain we climbed, remember the height of 3820 meters, to the mountain pass, obviously felt a headache, and Li girl (one of the peers) has blue lips, breathing symptoms, plateau climate is really unpredictable, a moment of work on the experience of the rain, fog, cloudy, sunny, and other climates, a moment of sunshine people want to faint, a moment and freezing people can not stand, however, the climate of the plateau is really unpredictable, a moment of work on the experience of the rain, fog, cloudy, sunny, etc., a moment of sunshine people want to faint, a moment of sunshine people want to faint. A moment and freezing people can not stand, but this does not affect its beauty. Green grassland, yak herds, blue sky and white clouds, colorful scripture streamers can be seen everywhere, the wind blew it began to dance with the wind, it is said that, with the wind and the dance of the scripture streamers fluttering a bit, is the chanting of scripture once, in the non-stop to the God to convey the wishes of the people, and to pray for God's blessing. In this way, the scripture streamers become a link between the gods and people. Where the streamers are means where the gods are, and where people pray to the gods. The streamers are a symbol of people's good wishes.
Because the journey is too rush, we far from seeing the sun and moon mountain and inverted flow of the river, with a regretful mood in the road running. Rush, in the sun before the sunset we came to our heart of the Qinghai Lake, which has the eye of heaven's reputation, if we said before the journey of this concept, it is the Qinghai Lake, after all, for do not do strategy for us it is the most famous. Far from seeing the Qinghai Lake quietly lying there, the lake blue blue blue, not like the sea of Beidaihe as rough, not like the sea water of Sanya as playful and lovely, she is like a bright pearl set in the white clouds of the sky and the golden sea of rapeseed flowers, the roadside of the large rapeseed flowers stretches endlessly, Qinghai Lake also stretches endlessly. From the sea of rape flowers through the past is to reach the road to the side of Qinghai Lake, every other piece of the locals will be circled, the master of the horse took us from one of the family to go in, a person to pay 50 dollars of the ticket, I personally feel that this price is a little expensive, who let is the peak season it? To the proximity of Qinghai Lake, but not so far so shocking, the lake built a lot of special facilities for tourists to take pictures, the commercialization of the atmosphere and the noble Qinghai Lake out of place, but we are also shot with great interest.
Out of the Qinghai Lake, all the way to the place to live forward, due to pre-communication is not quite in place, we booked in advance of each day of the hotel, which leads to all of the back of the trip can not have the slightest change, must be rushed to the place to live. Chartered car master boss reluctant, complaining that if he helped us find a hotel, in addition to his own free driver room, there are some kickbacks can be taken. However, although reluctant, but after all, there are intermediary travel company in, he also wanted to praise the bonus, so although there is a little unpleasant along the way, but also not how difficult for us. We set the Bird Island Resort deviated from the route of the Chaka Lake 80 kilometers, Ma master driving and extremely stable, steady walking 80 mph, the sky from bright to dark, black clouds began to appear, pouring rain, has been 11:00 p.m., we are still on the road. The children began to appear anxious, one after another asked, when to the hotel? When will we get to the hotel? Rushed a day of the road has long been exhausted, we comforted, while the heart pinched a cold sweat, unfamiliar, the road is not even a hair of the car, in case the master of a bad heart, too horrible! Good in the clock close to the early morning, we finally rushed to the hotel we booked, exactly can not be called a hotel, very simple color steel room, there is no other choice, quickly check in. Because there is no driver room, although we said in advance is not included in the driver to eat and live, but think of people driving a day of the car is also hard, really can not bear to let people sleep in the car, took the initiative out of the 50 bucks to the master of the horse arranged a bed. The first day of the journey even the end, did not have time to summarize, did not have time to reminisce, on a deep sleep.
The next day, the "mirror of the sky" Chaka Salt Lake
(Bird Island - Heima River - Chaka Salt Lake - across the Qaidam Basin - Dachaidan)
The word "sky" was first given to the South America, the Uyuni salt marsh in Bolivia. Bolivia's Uyuni salt marshes, the fantastic beauty of which has captivated the hearts of many people. China's "realm of the sky" is the "Chaka Salt Lake" in Haixi Prefecture, Qinghai Province, "Chaka" is the Tibetan language, meaning salt pond. Chaka Salt Lake is 3100 meters above sea level, generally oval in shape, with a very large area, equivalent to 16 West Lake in Hangzhou, but only a small part of it is open to tourists. In recent years, the Chaka Salt Lake is exceptionally hot, and all kinds of photo videos abound on Jitterbug, which is mesmerizing.
In the morning, waiting for the children to wake up, clean up, has been more than eight o'clock, due to our children, the trip is always a beat slower than others, others went to Chaka early in the morning, and we arrived at the time of close to 11 o'clock. Not yet to the scenic parking lot, the car is lined up in a long line, like a turtle speed forward. Master Ma let us near the parking, they went into, I do not know whether he wanted to save the parking fee or indeed is afraid of the car crowded into the can not come out, in short, people have to bow under the roof ah, not a long distance for the young people may not be nothing, for us with children is a test, because it is likely that the scenic area to the energy is gone, and sure enough, halfway there, Yan Yan little kid on the stamina, the child does not express clearly a moment to say that the stomach ache, the child is not clear, the child said that the stomach ache. Children do not express themselves clearly a moment to say that the stomach hurts a moment to say that want to vomit, no way Li girl helpless to give up the trip to the Chaka Salt Lake, I and Mei girl with two children continue to move forward, Henan tourists discount tickets, a person of 54 dollars we on the scenic area. Net red small train 50 single trip, but too many people in line, we chose the sightseeing car 5 single trip, sightseeing car to pull us to the lake on the down, and the small train is directly to the center of the lake, it seems to be out of 10 times the price is not the same. We walked all the way forward, the first thing we saw was a few large salt sculpture, feet, road wherever is salt. Further ahead, the beauty of the realm of the sky as far as the eye can see, the midday sun is just right, the blue sky and white clouds in the lake formed a reflection of the sky lake into one, beautiful. The beauty of Chaka lies in the fact that the surface of the salt lake is like a mirror, reflecting the breathtakingly beautiful view of the sky. Being in the world of salt, walking on the lake as walking in the cloud wonderland, soaring in the dream sky. Feel yourself in the silver world shuttle, clouds can be reached, the water can be touched, as if the sun and moon shuttle, can watch the wind and clouds change, can wait for the stars to turn.
? Chaka's beauty also lies in the long history of salt mining culture, where there is not only the great beauty of the scenery along the lake, but also mechanized salt mining culture, there are crooked poles, there seems to spread to the end of the sky railroad tracks. In China's thousands of years of history of the great country, the salt industry has been as the lifeblood of the country in the hands of the ruling class. Trafficking in salt, mostly for felonies. And during the period of salt shortage of salt events are endless, through the chronicles. And even today, when the salt industry is well supplied, how many people know where salt comes from? Said far, back to our journey, especially to praise the morning and Xiaoyu two children, because the center of the lake can be under the lake tread water tread salt, children are full of anticipation, all the way forward, did not yell bitter and tired, to the center of the lake close to the place where we put on the shoes prepared in advance to go into the water, this is the children's favorite part of the foot can be felt under the squeaking and yak-yak-yak of the salt, there is a lot of fun. The place where we went into the water was too crowded with tourists, and the reflection was already invisible, so the photos we took were not very good, but we were very happy when the kids were happy. If time permits, if not busy rushing, the children can play a little more happy a little longer, but we have to continue to move forward, reluctantly out of the Chaka Salt Lake, the children a little bit unable to walk, from time to time shouting leg pain leg pain, I and Mei girl all the way to encourage, even pulling finally transported them to the place where they sat sightseeing out of the place. On the way, the children know that Yan Yan children did not come because of discomfort, but also deliberately find a bag filled with a handful of salt, I do not know whether it is a violation?
To the scenic spot in front of the door we simply ate a meal, the scenic area of the meal is really expensive, a not good pouring rice 35 yuan, the bottom of a bowl of stuffed skin 15 yuan. Out of the road we got lost, the big parking lot one after another, we just can not go out, can not find the way to come. Mental agitation thinking about the time to catch up, but also partial can not find the way, and nervous and anxious mood instantly suffocated, plus there are two already exhausted children, so we miss the delicious meals and warm bed at home. Turned a few back and forth, and positioning, and ask for directions, back to the car has been more than three o'clock, tonight and have to catch up with the night road. As expected, the master of the horse and complained that we are too slow too slow, and encourage us to stay close to the road tomorrow, we are not moved, one is afraid of missing the beauty of the front, the second is always with a guarded heart. The good thing about traveling in the Northwest is that the beauty is not all in the scenic area, but on the road, with the blue sky and white clouds, the breeze and the stars we rushed to Dachaidan. With the experience of the previous night, we do not have the slightest expectation for the accommodation, just hope to hurry to catch a break, 10:00 p.m. we arrived at the accommodation, the owner is very enthusiastic, the room is much better than expected, the end of a busy day!
The third day, the unexpected Emerald Lake and Yadan Gobi style tour
(Dachaidan - Emerald Lake - Qinghai Yadan Devil City - Yangguan scenic spot - Dunhuang)
Get up in the morning, after breakfast and more than nine o'clock, the horse master reluctantly took us to the Emerald Lake, the original itinerary is not the lake, because the lake is a non-admission wild lake has not yet been developed, Mei! The girl from the jitterbug found. The journey is not far, in Dachaidan ten kilometers, some bumps, soon to the place, the lake here is turquoise, green is very beautiful, very quiet. This piece of about 6 square kilometers of "emerald lake" is the original dachaidan chemical plant salt lake mining team mining area, the lake is rich in boron, lithium, salt, potash, manganese nitrate, etc., the size of this varying, very different forms, varying depths in the salt pond in the high concentration of brine in the local called "brine! ", is after many years of salt lake mining and the formation of the pit, due to the different concentrations of minerals contained in the formation of a colorful scene, especially when the wind and waves are calm, like a mirror-like scattered in all directions, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds, in the middle of the body, looking at the body at the foot of the feeling of the moment, and only in the middle of the body can be profoundly felt.
The significance of travel may lie in meeting different friends, seeing different customs, enjoying different beauties, and this time the Emerald Lake is undoubtedly a colorful one, because of the unexpected encounter and let us feel extraordinarily beautiful, the children in the lake inside the salt is also playing very happy. Out of the Emerald Lake, the next seven or eight hours we have been on the road, on the road, on the road. The next way I call it Yadan Gobi style tour, with the feeling that we entered the no man's land, all the way to the Gobi, salt flats, the road to the Yadan is more like a road in the sky, endless, fewer people, occasionally see a tour bus as we are, tourists will get off or relocate dancing, or jumping and running, leaving the blue sky and white clouds and their own silhouettes on this road in the sky, this is the This is a natural art place, tourists feel free to play to leave to create their own works of art.
? Yadan geomorphic area windy, whenever the wind is four, soil and sand flying, low visibility, air flow in the surface of the mound reflection and refraction, resulting in a series of acoustic phenomena, issued a strange whistling sound, giving a sense of terror. In the past, the locals thought it was buried ghosts howling, the Mongolian language called "Sulumuhak", meaning the devil, so the Yadan landform is also known as the Devil's Town. We rushed to the Devil's Town has been three o'clock in the afternoon, the horse master has been saying that the Devil's Town is to see the landforms, we have seen this way almost, to the scenic area is not interesting, we scoffed, but see outside the bright sun and a few dolls of the boat, they also beat the drum, in Yadan ate a sumptuous lunch, far from the Devil's Town, all the way to Dunhuang, Yangguan scenic area did not go, the Yadan City, the Yadan City, the Yadan City, the Yadan City, the Yadan City, the Yadan City, the Yadan City, the Yadan City. Yangguan scenic area did not go, did not feel the "West out of the Yangguan no one" bleak euphemistic scene, it is a pity! Here to say, go out and travel to find a heartfelt guide is how important, master Ma all the way to worry about their own accommodation, all the way in the rush to rush, because he is Hui we can not eat together, so we rarely go to his recommended dishes, may lead directly to him in less accommodation rebate after the food and beverage rebate, all the way to disseminate a kind of negative energy, that is, here is not fun there! It's not fun, it's not fun anywhere, what are we doing running thousands of kilometers for? Of course, this is a small hiccup in the journey, does not affect the general direction of our enjoyment of the scenery. Around 9:00 pm, we came to Dunhuang, after a few days of small town flavor, finally feel the breath of the big city, really good!
Day 4, the joys of the Mingsha Mountain and the unique experience of desert camping
? Finally, the children's most coveted desert, we live just 10 minutes away from the Mingsha Mountain, and tonight also live in Dunhuang, which means that today there is no need to rush, and finally able to play a day of madness. Mingsha Mountain, where sandy mountains and springs **** place, because of the sound of sand movement and named, where you can climb the Mingsha Mountain, overlooking the crescent springs, but also on the top of the mountain to enjoy the desert sunset, feel the cool expanse of the Northwest Desert. Crescent Spring is surrounded by the Mingsha Mountain, because the water surface resembles a crescent moon and named, which is the most famous place in the Mingsha Mountain scenic area. Mogao Grottoes is not able to go, because the tickets need to be booked a month before, and we came here completely on the spur of the moment, so we had to give up, it's okay to make an appointment next time. Nine o'clock in the morning we called the master of the horse to pick us up, the master of the horse said that last night slept late surprisingly still not get up, the hotel receptionist said that your driver is really strange, other drivers are waiting for guests early, which has this kind of? We are also very speechless, the driver's dissatisfaction reached its peak, at least we are also a day a thousand high cost of the road out of the ah, the driver came after we are also lazy and he talked more directly to the Mingsha Mountain. To the scenic area, the sun is already very big, but big but big but our determination, our line of six people fully armed, all wrapped themselves into the Arabian began to enter. In Chaka a not pay attention to, has been the plateau of ultraviolet radiation burns the skin, hot pain, no longer dare to underestimate the sun here, the scenic area of one person 120 yuan, within three days can be several times to brush the face into the inside, the inside can ride a camel, helicopter, and sightseeing car. We ended up being afraid of the heat and chose to take the sightseeing car, which also became our biggest regret of the trip, that is, we did not ride the camel.
? Once in the desert to the children's paradise, we laugh at them to the desert or the park's way of playing sand, low head to play refused to go forward. Seeing the desert for a moment, I was in some trance, feeling that the light is no gap, the sand is also no gap, dense light dense light on the sand, bright crystal, bright, golden, mountain ridge beams are outlined by the light of the angular, especially bone. Handily raised a handful of sand, fine and dense sprinkled down, and instantly restored as before. I can't help but marvel at the power of nature, we can just raise the sand, and even stepped on the foot, but who can shake this sand mountain, and even our footprints in the next day and back to the original, no trace.
Although very tired, although very hot, come here but especially have the desire to climb, along the ridge to climb up, a foot deep and a foot shallow is very difficult, the children but energetic surprisingly will be a few adults far behind. In order to climb the mountain convenient, scenic spots placed to climb up the auxiliary ladder, step by step, finally we got to the top of the mountain, in my impression this is not called the mountain, the mountain is a hardness, and the foot of the desert mountain is indeed soft, soft with just, sparkling feeling. Sitting at the top of the mountain, look at this below the crescent moon spring, camel caravan from the mountain below, the beauty of the view, the blue sky, silk clouds, the sun pouring, passionate desert, iterative camel back, dance of the wind and sand, so that people are like a world away. In a flash, and feel those disoriented sand shadow, as a wisp of ghost, fluttering, trekking in the dunes above. Have not seen the desert before always think that the desert is related to despair, is a glimpse of the vastness of the endless, is the poisonous sun frying hopeless, came to the Mingsha Mountain but feel that it is not the same thing, perhaps the crescent moon springs itself is a ray of hope in the desert. Although a lot of people, the sun is very poisonous, but feel that all this is quite beautiful.
Out of the Mingsha Mountain, after lunch, time has come to the afternoon three or four o'clock like, around and around to find the hotel we are ready to camp in the evening. The first thing I'd like to say is that I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do this, but I'm sure I'm going to be able to do it. However, there is always a gap between the ideal and reality, due to too many tourists, to pick us up to the desert campground of the car is late, we will be in the courtyard of the hotel to take a nap, the children chasing and running around, we are bored of waiting. Small hotel is located in the village at the foot of the Mingsha Mountain inside, decorated quite a few literary atmosphere, but unfortunately, the late care is not very good, the yard of the old tires, broken wind chimes are not well embellished, but feel a little dirty. Have been waiting until eight o'clock in the evening, to pick up our car just came, desperate is also a variety of traffic jams on the road, ten minutes away from the hard to walk for more than half an hour, to the campsite has been more than nine o'clock, the early arrival of the people have already begun to eat. Imagine the desert camping should be the first to sit on the sand motorcycle to get high, and then sandboarding, and then lively barbecue, K song, camping to see the stars. Then the reality is that we came late, the organizers arranged for us to have a seat with seven or eight people, let us eat, a large table a hot pot, people have eaten half, how we can not move chopsticks to, but other people together with the group to the more high, and is drinking, and with the hosts singing and dancing. YanYan and XiaoYu were very interested, clapping and singing along with the host, very intoxicated. Children's attention span is always very short, they were attracted to the sand next to them, jumping and jumping with tools to play in the sand, the sky is full of stars, children digging in the sand, next to the strangers singing and dancing, it's not bad. More than ten o'clock, the bonfire party began, we also a little into the atmosphere, we know not know all in a circle dancing rabbit dance, fire flickering, singing and dancing, if the party ended smoothly to lead to the tent to sleep can also be considered. However, the sky is not willing, God may be in order to increase the hardship of our road, let my cell phone in the bonfire party when dropped into the desert.
? The cell phone is not valuable, but the photos and memories of this journey are in it, I really anxious, more sad is that the signal here is particularly poor, a moment can get through a moment can not get through. Another team of people's car keys were also lost in the desert, we look for ah look for ah, the other car keys found, but the cell phone is sinking into the sea, there is no shadow. Time is already close to 11 o'clock, the organizers have been in the distribution of tents, queuing up a lot of people, noisy lead tent, we are also mindless queuing up, while looking for the phone again, keep an eye on the queue of less people and then lead the tent, and finally get the tent when it has been more than 1:00 a.m., the children look forward to the desert camping has not yet begun to go to sleep in their own mother's arms. Originally thought of lying in the desert to see the stars in the sky, see the sunrise desert, but to get the tent to pack up we have been too tired to say a word. The children quickly fell asleep, three or two people are still hanging around outside, belonging to our night to come.
The fifth day, nature's ghost work
(Dunhuang-Jiayuguan-Zhangye Danxia National Geopark-Zhangye)
Continuous late night sleep and travel, we three old girls have been tired of speech, the miracle is to find that the children's ability to recover is particularly strong, wake up and then they are alive and well, unlimited energy model. Daybreak, early to catch up with many people have already set off, but we are not in a hurry, so late as late as possible. Mei girl mother and two are not yet up, Li girl and Yan Yan climbed up the hill next to the beginning of sandboarding, I and Xiaoyu let the base of the use of sand motorcycle to send us to the mountain and their rounds, the motorcycle is particularly exciting, I was afraid that Xiaoyu fell from the top, tightly guarded. Up to the top of the mountain, the eyes bright, just out of the sun is not very eye-catching, from a distance like a large egg yolk not far from hanging on the side of the mountain, the earth-colored desert gilded a layer of gold edge feeling, sand from the earthy yellow slowly turned golden yellow, is really too beautiful. Xiaoyu and Yan Yan over and over again sitting on the sandboard slide down and then up, happy very soon the clock is pointing close to ten o'clock, we should leave, Zhangye is still waiting for us. The road back is very smooth, Master Ma said we have to go to Jiayuguan and Zhangye Danxia Geological Park today, due to the distance we can only choose one. We thought about it and chose the visually stunning National Geopark. After a long journey, we finally arrived at Zhangye Danxia at 5:00 p.m. Although it was already close to dusk, the sun didn't look like it was about to get off work and was still shining brightly. A few of us have no excitement and dancing at the beginning of the journey, numbly buy tickets, enter the scenic area.
But into the Geopark, you must buy the park coach tickets, 20 yuan per person, coach in the scenic area of the four observation decks set up stations, tourists are free to go up and down. Danxia Geopark, in fact, is a desert land, grass does not grow. But the ground surface of the naked rock body colorful, colorful. Four observation decks, that is, you can be in the high places, to see a more concentrated geomorphological colors. Zhangye Danxia National Geopark landforms, colorful, interlaced layers, magnificent, spectacular scene, it is "Danxia seven colors diffuse hills, strange and dangerous spirit of the beauty of the picture. In a word is God overturned the color palette, we are also considered to browse once, due to time constraints did not properly feel the magic of nature's ingenious work.
The sixth day, the horse galloped the last carnival
(Zhangye - Qilian Mountain prairie - Gangshka snow peaks - Menyuan rapeseed flowers - Xining)
From Zhangye, confused sleep we entered the Qilian Mountain prairie,
" Qilian " is the ancient Hun language, meaning " Tianshan ", is the first time that we entered the Qilian Mountain prairie,
" Qilian " is the ancient Hun language, meaning " Tianshan ", is the first time that we enter the Qilian Mountain. " Tianshan ", is a natural barrier to the north of Qinghai, the ancient Qiang land, is the main road to the Western region, the ancient " Qinghai North Gate " said, the southern route of the Silk Road through this. The car began to move forward on the mountain highway, the first day of the high seems to favor us again, Li girl and feel uncomfortable, but already have the experience can easily deal with it. The car traveling to the Oboling Pass, we get off to stop. Pass erected a sign, labeled the pass of the sea level for 3685 meters. Climbed the right end of the pass on the top of the mountain, the top of the mountain with stone blocks, there are colorful streamers. Standing on the top of the mountain can be seen across the top of the mountain is not high, there are no trees on the mountain, all the green grass, a glance is like a green carpet. In the distance, the blue sky with white clouds, in its reflection of the mountains look extraordinarily fresh.
After a short stay, we continue to move forward, along the way is a horse farm, tourists can choose to stop to the horse farm to play. The horse master took us to choose one of the horse farm, horse farm herdsmen are very enthusiastic to ask if you want to ride a horse big circle 120, small circle 90, I reflexively said can not be cheaper, herdsmen immediately pulled down the face, how can it be cheaper? This is the price, scared me not to say anything. Three children chattering to ride a horse, I and Li girl with their own children each ride a horse, bold Mei girl and her son each ride a horse to set off. Previously see other people riding a horse seems to be very relaxed look, they sit on the back of a horse but for no reason nervous, the horse every step of their heart will pull a bit, afraid of falling off, the horse uncle is very good, has been saying nothing nothing, do not need to be afraid to go to the middle of the grassland, familiar with the photo for us. Mei girl will be a big deal, she likes to stimulate, has always hated their own horse is not fast enough, after riding a circle and then want to ride a circle. The two children are also encouraged, must follow the herdsman uncle to run another round, rare so interested in everyone, let you run in the grassland to your heart's content.
There are two swings in the middle of the stable, and after riding the horse, the kids went to swing, and we sat next to them. Even a few days have been rushing, sitting here looking at the blue sky and white clouds, looking at the side from time to time run out of small gophers, suddenly feel unprecedented relaxation, a closer look at the northwest of this vast land, if you can, you should take half a month or even a month's time to a depth of time to visit, like we are such a horse browse is really a pity of the beautiful scenery. Perhaps almost to the focus of the journey, master Ma also want to give us a good impression, also did not rush us. We just sat on the grassland chatting, the mountains in the distance, the grassland near the horses in twos and threes, all the way to the fatigue seems to be slowly eased. At about nine o'clock in the evening, back to Xining, six days of the Northwest Great Circle Line horseback trip to the end of the perfect, although tired, although tired, but more for the shock of the scenery, for the journey's perception.
? Summarize a few epiphanies, first of all, such a large loop of the Northwest six days is far from enough time, just a walk around the flowers also feel unfulfilled, Xu is the reason that we took the children, the middle of the many scenic spots are missed, if there is time it is best to drive their own car, do not have to rush, do not have to catch up with the attractions, leisurely and comfortable, and slowly appreciate the vast expanse of the Great Northwest, the beauty of the infinite. Secondly, to the Great Northwest driving is preferred, if you want to charter a car must be and charter a car master in advance to communicate with the driver all the way to eat, live, if you let the master to help book accommodation, arrange the trip is not unavoidable, you can find preferential accommodation at the same time the master has a rebate will inevitably also be more dedicated to the service, like we have some of the other way around, we are not happy, a great impact on the mood of the tour.
When it comes to food, as a foodie I am y ashamed, the trip was on the road the whole time, for the basic concept of eating nothing, are the feeling of a few mouths to make up, noodles ate several times, and finally do not want to smell the smell of noodles, see others send the Great Northwest kebabs, fan soup and so on, I was greedy and fast swallowing mouth. Next time, the next time I must be well prepared to another in-depth trip, the food here all in one.
Finally, to end with Li Bai's poem, I look forward to the next trip with Ms. Mei, Ms. Li and another Ms. Li.
" The moon is out of the sky, between the clouds and the sea. The wind is blowing for tens of thousands of miles, and the wind is blowing through the Jade Gate. The Han Dynasty is on the Baideng Road, and the HU peeps into the Green Bay. The war has been raging for a long time, and no one has ever seen it again. Garrisoners look at the border, and think of returning home with bitter faces. On this night, when the tower is high, the sigh should not be idle."
