In the Tianshan area east of Bogda Peak, there has long been a mysterious place called Jiangbulake, which is centered in the southern mountainous area of Banjiegou, Qitai County, Xinjiang, and spans Jimsar, Qitai and Rem counties. The local people call it "the source of holy water" devoutly-Jiangbulake leans in the majestic embrace of Tianshan Mountain, drinking snow water and conserving soil and water, forming a wonderful four seasons, warm in winter and cool in summer. This unique geographical location and climatic conditions have also bred beautiful and charming natural elements: from snow-capped mountains and glaciers to alpine meadows, and then to the landscape of Zhongshan forest and grassland in shallow mountains, people who have been here have all been cited as fairyland.
However, the charm of Jiangbulak is far from the beauty of nature. There are many unique mysterious gifts here-from the "strange slope of Jiangbulak" recorded in Guinness World Records to the sacred "strange stone circle" on the top of the mountain. Nature and human civilization seem to have set many puzzles in Jiangbulak, guiding future generations to advance wave after wave and explore all kinds of unsolved mysteries behind Jiangbulak. ...
A fairyland hidden in the depths of Tianshan Mountains.
In China, no grassland has such a unique geographical environment as Jiangbulake-from Bogda Peak to the east and along the northern slope of the East Tianshan Mountains, most of the sights are barren and depressing, and most of the undulating mountains are brown and bare. However, when the mountain extended to Banjiegou area in Qitai County, the majestic mountain suddenly turned a corner, as if an arm was bent to embrace a shallow valley: the low-lying terrain not only locked the snow water in Tianshan Mountain, but also caught the rain, so it began to move eastward, giving birth to a vast and vibrant Jiangbulake grassland. People can't help but admire that the fertile soil and water here even nourish the stones into green.
With the rich resources on the grassland, the herdsmen who have lived here for generations not only graze, but also reclaim farmland and plant rape and wheat. Large tracts of rape fields and wheat fields form various geometric figures, which arrange the earth intricately. Moreover, with the ups and downs of grassland topography, these huge "patterns" seem to be moving slowly, and the magnificent visual effect can be compared with the Swiss pastoral scenery, which can be called the most unique grassland scenery in China.
In people's impression, the grass on the grassland is the most beautiful in summer and autumn, but the Jiangbulak grassland is an exception. Because it is located in the depths of Tianshan Mountain, there is neither hot summer nor too cold winter here. On the contrary, "warm in winter and cool in summer" is the most remarkable climate feature of Jiangbulake grassland, which just endows Jiangbulake grassland with the charm of four seasons inversion.
After mid-April every year, the Jiangbulak grassland waits for its short spring. The recovered grassland is first covered with new green, and the harmonious grassland is gradually mixed with white, pink and milky wild flowers. However, this slightly cold and lonely season soon ended. Since June, the summer in Jiangbulak has completely arrived: dense grass is piled up with the wind, and wild flowers are everywhere, orange snow lotus, wild poppy, golden golden lotus, red thyme, blue gentian, white plum grass ... countless colors are woven in the green grass and spread to the sky. At the end of the grassland, you can vaguely see the snowy Tianshan Mountains, just like setting a silver edge on the Jiangbulake grassland. In the blink of an eye, the grass and wheat fields were harvested, and countless golden lines appeared on the grassland. Except for the smoke from the kitchen on the top of the herdsmen's yurt, the whole world seems to be very quiet. It was not until June 10 that there was a heavy snow, and the Jiangbulak grassland turned white again. Only the plank road across the grassland shines, because it has been trampled by shepherds and wild deer. Therefore, no matter what kind of severe cold the outside world is experiencing, Jiangbulake Grassland always enjoys its own warm winter and a wonderful and warm world of ice and snow.
The most magical visual magic in the world
About Jiangbulak, besides its beauty, what is even more amazing is the mysterious "pattern" hidden in this land, and the world-famous "Jiangbulak strange slope" is one of them.
Located on Daotiaoling, which is about 10 km away from Banjiegou Town, there is a slope of nearly 300 meters. Seen from a distance, this slope is like a slender yellow ribbon, wrapped around a long and narrow mountain like a knife. If it hadn't been an accidental discovery, this hillside might have remained unknown instead of becoming a legend. In 2003, a car broke down on the way down Daotiaoling, and the driver chose to stop at a section with high north and low south, ready to get off for repair. In order to prevent the car from sliding down the hillside, the driver picked up a stone from the side of the road and stuffed it under the wheel. At this time, a strange phenomenon happened, and the car suddenly slipped to the top of the slope like a tie. Seeing this scene, the surprised driver immediately jumped into the car and grabbed the steering wheel. After waking up, the driver drove the car back to its original place. However, when he turned off the engine and released the brakes, the car seemed to have just been possessed and automatically slipped to the top of the slope.
It is obviously high in the north and low in the south, but why does the car slide north? The driver tried several times and the result was the same. At that time, Jiang Braque found that Strange Slope was on fire. More and more people come here, eager to verify this miracle with their own eyes. It has been found that not only cars, but also running water or balls seem to be mysteriously summoned, and will automatically slide from the bottom of the slope to the top of the slope without exception.
In 2005, "Jiangbulake Strange Slope" was officially named as "the longest and most magical strange slope in the world" after being evaluated by Guinness World Records. Since then, Jiangbulak has attracted more and more explorers.
So, what is the answer to the mystery of Jiangbulake's strange slope? After repeated investigations, some experts have come to the conclusion that on the "strange slope" about 300 meters long, the low point "slope bottom" in people's eyes is 1899 meters above sea level, while the high point is only 1897 meters above sea level, that is to say, the visual situation people see is just incompatible with the actual altitude. So, why is there such a visual error? According to expert analysis, it is the reference environment around the "strange slope" that deceives everyone's eyes-where people think it is a low point, it is surrounded by sunken valleys, while on both sides of the road where people think the field of vision is a high point, the terrain is relatively high. Under the reference of this environment, human vision has produced a natural "error", reversing the bottom and top of the slope. In addition, the drop of the whole "strange slope" is only 2 meters, which can be said to be minimal. From this perspective, Jiang Brak's "strange slope" is simply a wonderful magic presented by nature to mankind!
The Mystery of "Rock Circle"
Although the mystery of the "strange slope" has begun to emerge, the mystery tour in Jiangbulak is only the beginning-there is a strange stone circle hanging high into the clouds on the top of the mountain in the west of Jiangbulak, which has also aroused endless speculation. It is said that almost everyone who comes to the grotesque stone circle will have a wonderful experience: Wan Li was clear before going up the mountain, but when climbing to the top of the mountain and approaching the grotesque stone circle, a large dense cloud suddenly appeared in the sky. Soon, there was even lightning accompanied by a downpour, which made people have nowhere to hide. It's like violating the peace here and angering the sleeping gods. This not only adds an atmosphere of fear to Jiangbulake's grotesque stone circle, but also adds a temptation. So, do you have the courage to go?
